    College Application Essay - Topic is Magic

    I used to teach senior English, and one of the assignments we spent a lot of time on was the college application essay. morpheis91 pretty much gave you all the advice on your college app essay that I would have. I advise you not to get caught up in trying to be clever by doing a magic effect for...

    ACAAN - Your favourite version/Best version

    For true ACAAN plots: Barrie Richardson's "Any Card at Any Number" from Theater of the Mind is top-notch and very clean. Patrick Redford's "Hands Off" is also very clean and very deceptive.

    Flaming Fingers.

    In the clip of Blaine (from the Vertigo special) he doesn't produce the flame. He dips his fingers into a candle he's holding and his fingertips catch fire as he lights two girls' cigarettes.

    Opening for a band - freaked as hell

    Great opportunity, mate. First let me congratulate you by saying "yes" and taking a gig that scared you a bit at first. Putting yourself in new environments is the only way to grow and improve. And the more you do it, the better you will get and the quicker you'll get there. So congrats on...

    Magic with a secret stooge

    From your description, you're interested in using an accomplice, not a stooge. As for a coding system, the brilliant Dan Harlan just released an excellent DVD on his coding system, Speakeasy. Hope that helps. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H78bcAvSuFk

    The Best T&R Newspaper?

    Richard Osterlind's is the best I've ever seen next to Axel Hecklau's Newsflash. Practical, clean and deliberate handling, and deviously deceptive. Osterlind's can be given away as a souvenir at the end to the spectator who signed it. It can be found on Mind Mysteries Volume 4.

    This is just a live stunt. No TV special is attached with it.

    my loops reflect when I do ring levitation

    A few options: 1. Don't do the effect in lighting you are not comfortable with and in which you think the loop will reflect the light in the room. 2. Work in your shadow to kill off the reflections the light source is producing. 3. Perform a shorter levitation. Shorten the moment so that...

    loops main problem

    After you have the card returned and set the deck down, with the looped threaded through the deck, there will be more tension on one side than another. You can re-calibrate the tension by bringing your hands together over top of the deck in a praying position (as your lightly rub your hands...

    I want to do my own street magic show on youtube.

    I can't believe anyone would think either political party would not be considered guilty of creating intentional side treks. That's hilarious.

    Most Overused "Magic Music" At A Convention

    "Magic Man" by Heart. To avoid being cliche and obvious, I would advise anyone picking out music to avoid anything with the word "Magic" in the title or the chorus of the lyrics.

    Odd gigs

    That's hilarious! I did some magic at a strip club in Paris one time and had one of the French strippers buy me a drink after doing French Kiss (just released there was a pun in this now) with her card held in her cleavage.

    Just had tea with Derren Brown

    Tea is a late afternoon snack, not a proper meal replacing, or renaming, lunch or dinner. Very cool, man. Would love to hear some details on what you got out of the meeting.

    Odd gigs

    When a potential client asks about your availability that's always a good thing. That means they're under the assumption you're busy with other gigs. That's why you take a 50% deposit and put in your contract that the other 50% is due before you perform. Simple solution for a simple problem...

    Weak minded people. What to do?

    Then perhaps you shouldn't be doing card magic in these environments then? Or at least not doing "pick a card" type effects. I still say it's the performer's responsibility. A DJ talking or people walking in should not distract someone from seeing something miraculous right before their eyes. If...

    Weak minded people. What to do?

    It isn't that your spectators are weak-minded, it's that you aren't doing your job right. Sorry to be abrasive, but your suggestion that your spectators are weak-minded is a gross deflection of your failure as the performer in the situation. It's your responsibility to put emphasis on the...
