    Stage/Cabaret Magic Ending!

    The plan is to do half Sideshow stunts (nail in nose, swallow razorblades, swallow balloon etc) and half magic (circle of time [rope trick] mind reading trick [window envelope] , card trick, fizzmaster, etc) which is my usual sort of performance, with a few gags in between like making a ritz...

    Stage/Cabaret Magic Ending!

    RealityOne, I am looking for a good trick to end my Edinburgh show with this August. I'm asking now so I can practice! When it comes to experience I've been working cabaret clubs for the best part of 2 years ending with a rope escape, however I'd like to do a more magic ending as the show...

    Help with cards in bottle.

    I can't help thinking that keeping it such a close guarded secret is a bad thing. I believe that putting things in bottles is brilliant, and a really awesome thing, but if it is kept so closely guarded, what will happen when people like Jamie who create these stop making them, or in worst...

    Raven

    I have never worked the Raven, but I did work the Bat which is the same thing without the reel or pull for the linking ring routine included in the pack and it killed. I think if you have the correct set up, it could work for you, it just depends what you want to do with it really. Simon

    Fire Stage Magic

    Heya Guys! I want to be able to walk onto the stage at the start of my act, and make a large ball of fire appear and shoot into the air. What is the best thing to buy to get this effect? Thanks! Simon_Magic

    Magic as a Career

    No worries Draven, just doing my bit! :-) Reservoir, love the Roses!!! Think a Wire release on how to make them would be appreciated, at least by me! When it comes to performing for family and relationships and that, my girlfriend has a little girl, and so I made her a balloon rose and a few...

    Magic as a Career

    Guys! Why have we suddenly turned this informative thread into a slating one to a professional? I do not in anyway condone Benji, but I respect where he has got to with his career. Draven, you have helped me in the past and recently with marketing tips through your posts, and you are always...

    Magic as a Career

    I think that Benji has it right when it comes to making your own luck. Sure certain things are going to be out of your control ie the lottery, but we are talking business here. If you just sat around and thought to yourself "why am I not getting bookings?" compared to the person who is going out...

    Magic as a Career

    I'd say that there is also a lot of luck in getting where you need to be to get booked, but you do also make your own luck. A good friend of mine went down to Torquay (a town in Devon, UK) as part of a UK talent competition that had its final there. He didn't win, but was spotted by an agency...

    Magic as a Career

    Rick is right. I actually don't know a performer that only just does magic as a career. There are other options however that are still creative, for instance becoming a compere for events, releasing magic, doing both stage and close up. One problem is that you will have to travel up and down the...

    How does one make tips

    It depends what you want to mean as tips. I perform at a regular gig for tips (the venue covers my expenses) and to get tips I use a really simple line: "I am a PROFESSIONAL street performer". This shows them that you are not a beggar and this is how you make a living. Of course you have to...

    Selecting The Right Material?

    I perform a lot on the Burlesque/Cabaret Circuit over here in the UK, and I must admit, it is sometimes the newbie performers that are a hell of a lot better than the ones that have been doing it a long time because they want to be able to impress and so will work and work on their act everyday...

    Zombie Ball Vs Astro-Sphere?

    Heya Guys! I am planning to do a zombie ball routine but recently came across the astro-sphere. I was wondering which one of them you guys think is better and what the pro's and con's are of each. It will be used for stage, and I have found a supplier for a large astro-sphere as I...

    Any Serious Students of Escape Here?

    Get in touch with a mate of mine called Chris Cross. He does specialised escapes and the stunt you are planning. In fact I believe he is doing it this Friday in Cardiff I think. Probably worth sending an email :-) Simon_Magic

    Manipulation fans?

    Thanks for the advice Craig! Do you know of any Asian Magic texts I can get hold of at all that might have some ideas for me to start with? Simon_Magic

    Going Viral?

    Hey Guys! Thanks for all the help! I just wanted to know as I am reinventing myself business-wise before its too late (different stage name, nice new website etc) and just really want it to kick off to a good start by posting things around and getting viewed by people. I have put up a few...

    Manipulation fans?

    Heya Guys! I'm looking to do some Chinese Fan work in my act. Can anyone tell me where I can get some manipulation fans from and if there is any books or dvds out there teaching techniques and so forth? Thanks! Simon_Magic

    The 1914

    Quite right JD! It's quite exciting for Dee and Co. And what is wrong with self promotion anyway if it was? You guys were acting like it was really bad to do something like that on these forums. Simon_Magic
