    I Don't Want To Just Learn Another Trick...

    This is excellent advice. So very difficult for magicians to get this. Strong Magic is a great book to buy, but nothing will make you better at performing than having a well rounded life and other interests besides magic. A great performance is nothing more than the ability for people to...

    Please Critique My Video

    These little kids grew up watching David Blaine and Criss Angel, so in their mind's eye the walking away from the shot and doing tricks in front of the camera seems cool. But without the presentation, audience control, and proper camera techniques, it just looks silly. It reminds me of when...

    If you can be judgemental without merit, then I can defend with facts.

    Ellusionist Holiday Giveaway

    Are you serious? What's your problem? You seem to have what I call "anti-success" syndrome. If something or someone is too big or achieves high financial success you are dead set on being critical of them, regardless of what they do, even without doing your fact checking. E is giving...

    I want to quit!

    Because it doesn't matter. Multiple, fancy DL's are only to impress magicians and give you something to practice at with not much real world value. If your performance is good and if you follow "tension" and "off beat" lessons like the ones shown in Aaron Fisher's video, then a plain old...

    Wow I Can't Believe This

    praetoritevong - that was a great post with a lot of knowledge that only comes with maturity and experience. Overall, this forum is composed of mostly very young people. There are a lot of great, positive things about youth, but the one thing that isn't great is that they don't know they're...

    Spectator Walking Away In Middle of Performance

    You're 13yrs old, no matter how good you think you are, you're not always going to get respect from adults. You have no idea what the topic of conversation was and he may have had something very important to speak to the director about. For those of you who are telling him to "tell him off"...

    Criss Angel on Lopez Tonight

    LOL...some of you guys crack me. You have no credibility when you can't evaluate a performance objectively. That was a bad ass performance - if Justin Kredible or Dan Sperry did this effect in that style you guys would have been talking about how good it was. This is why magic isn't respected...

    Are you a magician?

    I will have to agree with that. It sounds like that they reacted well to the tricks (which is terrific) but they didn't connect with you as a person. Now of course we weren't there, but the question is, after the 1st or 2nd performance, did they like you enough to ask you to hang out with them...

    New Video About Me!

    Dylan - congrats on your gig for the Dollar Tree store opening. You're in high school and you seem to be doing alright, but the advice given here is very helpful, especially the tips from Luis. You're going to want to get out of the mentality that you "put on a costume" when you perform but...

    What do you do?

    Then that's probably it. Sometimes we don't know that we've gotten good because we see our own flaws...which is of course something we hope to never lose. Sounds like your audience has been a good barometer. You probably have been under-selling yourself....sounds like you have a good fan base...

    What do you do?

    jrobarts - I think you responded very well and the only way any magician should respond, with humility and a "thank you". There's not much else to it. The positive is that it inspire you to put together a show, so that's a good outcome to the comparison. Just one note though, I think this...

    Do you carry cards everywhere?

    Best attitude about carrying a deck of cards and how "normal" people perceive it. This guy gets it.

    I feel so great!

    I definitely agree with that, Luis. But since he is in the 9th grade and it doesn't sound like he's performed very much, I think at this time it's more important he performs as much as he can for as many different groups of people as he can. Its more important that he learns how to deal with...

    How to use magic to propose to your loved one?

    Oh boy. Before we send you down a bad road, (be honest with yourself here, not to the forum), ask yourself, "How has your track record being with women?" "Have you had a lot of dates and girlfriends in the last 8-10 years?" Do you constantly tell yourself that you're just "unlucky" and if...
