Here we'll discuss the things on how to be not just a magician but an entertaining magician. We could discuss here tips and tricks on performing, whether on stage, parlor, close up and even street.

I really enjoy "Hopping Half" I tell a little story about the different coins....so they take on a personality. The folks I've shown it to reacted strongly. My hands are old & tired, so I don't feel guilty about using gaff coins. Another Great set i…
A place to discuss magic philosophy....
Why we do what we do, how to connect with your audience, how to find meaning in your magic, what makes some magicians better than others, the difference between magic and tricks...Etc.
One can always start with the classics. Cups & Balls, etc. Other good ideas...Out of This World, Ring and string routine, Ambitious Card, good Bobo or Roth coin routines.

About Me:
I have been "into" Magic for over 50 years. Yes, I'm an old coot. My Dad did Magic and met Blackstone. Dad & the Doctor were doing Magic for eachother while my Mom was in labor with me. Dad taught me my first Magic and gave me some of his props. I mostly perform for Family & Friends, but also for strangers I meet. I love to read anything I can get my hands on re: Magic..Esp. Magic History.
My dream in life is:
To make people happy.
My favorite quote:
"A Magician is an actor, playing the part of a Magician"

Thanks Vynn. I just did a 40th birthday party and decided to do my cut and restored rope as a close up item. I have never had such a strong reaction to that trick in 30 years ... one of the guests kept following me around to watch the rope trick.
