Performances

[Jacob L]

Hey everybody. A few months ago I went to a Thespian conference (I had a pretty long thread on it) and I did some performing there. To see the videos, however, there are some steps you need to take, so here we go:
1. Click this link.
2. Email=cubemaster1011@yahoo.com
3. password=ridiculous
4. Search Jacob Lindsey in the search bar and go to my profile.
5. Click Videos of me
6. Watch the ones titled "Conference" followed by a number.
7. Enjoy!

I hope you all can follow through on this for me, I'm looking for comments, critiques (constructive), enjoyment, anything really, just enjoy yourselves.

Have a good one,

Jacob

I can't seem to find the video.

Did you follow the steps right? After you search "Jacob Lindsey" and click on it, look under the profile picture and youll see an option of "videos of Jacob", click on that, and watch the vids titled "conference" followed by a number. Also there is one titled "Random interviews and magic" which is at the same place.
Feel free to watch the other videos also *cough* rubik's cube *cough*

Hope this helped.

Jacob,

Cool stuff man. Did I really have to login to Edward's profile to see this? Haha. I just watched Conference #2 and have some constructive criticism for you.

Carbon Paper is definitely one of my favorite effects. You're performance of it is good, but there is one thing. Wayne states during "The Art of Magic" not to be scared of the signing part. I noticed you told the girl that you would hold it, when she reached for it. Suspicions arise from the tiniest details. I like to let the spectator take the whole deck to sign the their name, they have no reason to do anything out of the ordinary. Phrases like "Is that completely fair?" or "A free choice right?" again clue the spectators into to thinking things like "How wouldn't it be a free choice?", "Why wouldn't this be fair?".

On a preference note though, I like to use a red deck for this effect. As the burn mark really shows. I like how you let the spectator pick a card to mutilate, but I would suggest you watch how Wayne does it again, because how you're using it flashes (if you don't know what I mean I'll PM you.)

Overall though I thought you got killer reactions

EDIT: Just watched #7. Again, great stuff. Unless performing for magicians, I'd try not to say "Very fair shuffles", "This is so fair". Devastator went good, I've had mixed reactions with this trick. It is a brilliant trick, but seems to put too much on a spectator. I've had incidents where they forgot their card, or number just because they're on the spot or nervous. I actually use this more on magicians more than regular spectators.

Anyway, overall good stuff.

I did. For some reason, it only shows me 5 videos and none of them are titled "Conference."
EDIT
Nevermind, I got it. I thought the whole thing with Edward Cullen was just a joke and I didn't know I needed to log under that account. xD

I only had a blue ID with me, so I had to bring a blue regular as well, just to explain that.
OK, I understand with the whole "is this fair?" statements, I'll cut down on those, thanks.
Honestly I don't see how my way flashes, (I'll PM you), but I also have another way of forcing the card on them where its from a spread (and no culls! ).

As for Devestator, I might have just not set it up right, or they didn't really get it. Oh well, just move on, its no biggie. You win some you lose some right?
Thanks for the help man, and check your inbox.

Oh haha alright then, glad you found them. Any thoughts?
