Magic Performance - Live

[Sir FansAlot]

Hey Fans. Can I have some of whatever it is your on?
Your all over the place man. What gives?

Nah, I'm just messing around. Trying to tell some jokes.

Your sorta bringing this thread down man, let's get back on topic...

A tip on speed, if you feel like you're going too slow then you're probably going at a good speed. You can use your audience to judge how you're doing pretty easily, if your first trick gets lackluster response then quickly as why.

Was it too fast, too slow...does this trick ever get reactions? If not try and re-work it.

From what I saw though, other than nervousness with the camera, your speed is your greatest problem. Most magicians go faster than they should, I would suggest watching some professionals do their routines and get a feel for the pace you need to be shooting for. It's a problem I still have when performing newer effects for the first time, practice and performing helps the most.

I want to say Eric Jones had some thoughts on pacing in his 'Time to Be Awesome' interview. At least when practicing and then finding your own natural rhythm that may or may not be helpful to you. You can see that Here!

Haha thank you for pointing that out, i got one reply.

Were going to film some of our material next time we hang, not like last time with the lamb and lighting.

No problem. Oh yeah definately, we really need some better lighting (and filiming classes lol)

Oh and don't argue with Fans, its pointless.

Ok, nice tip. Like what has been said before, it was just an "off day" we had. Trust us, it'll be better next time.
nice I'll check out that interview, thanks man!

A lot of stuff can be cut out.

I was in San Diego this month with Kontents and Beans25. It was my first time holding a deck and even performing for a while. We decided to go to the mall. The mall seems like a good place to go but it actually sucks. People who go to the mall are restless and want to go shopping and most are not interested in magic. Alone I've had a few good experiences while giving a run through with my nifty TKO (Thekayloroption).

You guys can cut out a lot of stuff. Watch videos of other people performing in the media section, get tips from them. shuffling, riffling, and all that stuff is not needed. A great magician once said, " Confusion is not magic" (Dai Vernon). Say only what is needed to be said. When you/spectator pushed the card in the middle, that action does not need to be reinforced by saying, " I pushed the card in the middle right?"

You mean cut out of the video like the beginning and stuff? Well we were just having fun with it, it wasn't ment to be some serious professional video.
Yeah we have heard that, "making noise" with the deck takes away from the effect. But of course we should shuffle to lose the card in the deck. We are always learning, thanks for your input.
