“I can do it without cheating..
At least that’s what I told my ex-girlfriend..”
MK, u know whats funny? u just did a show at ferris state last night and did the rihanna joke with the smiley face and over on the right of my screen is a promoted video of rihanna’s facial bruises!!
hahaha yeah Im wondering what it’s about as well. Maybe the guy felt something, like static maybe? But yeah, the guy’s reaction was hilarious…
Magic for people that have been drinking is the best.
And yea I’m pretty sure it’s ‘electric touch’ aka a visible static shock
some1 gets a lot of college ass haha
fast hands, three thumbs up!
He gives him an electric shock out of nowhere.
yo the one with the bunch of red balls is cool
Very nice! I like your unique style and presentation!
As a fellow magician and streetperformer I wonder why magicians can’t dress up anymore?
if you are doing “street” magic then u need more than some card tricks and same red balls lol….. get an invisible deck or the coin where you can put a cigarette through.. something more
Magicians dressd the way they did back then because that was the fasion at the time. Magicians do exactly the same to day.
wrong answer
Iam a professional street magician.When you wear a plaid shirt and jeans it will take a lot more work to stop people.
Also a magician needs to set the president that he is a special person or he has a better place to go and better things to do
Look at all the prints of magicians throu out history and you will find the magician is just slightly more exsentric or stylish
I mean how much effort goes on putting on a nice waist coat vest for christ sake
XmeliketocommentX
your wrong also
Yes an invisible deck is nice and yes cigarett throu coin is nice
But when you work the street it is far better to not rely totally on gimmicks
It is far better to rely on skill and slieght of hand and the connection with them
his magic is good because a lot of stuff is happening in the person’s hands”
Now as you I also have mixed feelings on the red clown nose ball but we can not deny the audience loves them
Dude, if you wanna talk credentials ive been doin magic for around 18 years. Ive traind with the best and won all major comps in the uk, ill be competing at the next fism. I think your thinking of STAGE magic. Which is an entirely different ball game. Its about creating a charecter because its theatre. In that arena i would agree that costuming is very important. On the streets its about relating to people which is easier to do if you look similar to them. otherwise you come across as the-
sure I bet your good
listen I work on the streets
They won’t give a shit about you unless you appear as if you have better thing to to better places to be
you can go the character funny approach
or you can go the slightly more stylish approach
A magician needs to come off as a rock star or a confident man of mystery
Sure the David Blaine’s plain tee shirt worked for him and now everyone wants to copy him even throu they don’t have his charisma or maturity
-pretentious asshole doin magic tricks. Do witches wear black cone hats? do french people wear onions around there necks??? of course not thats just a stereotype. Magic is never gonna progress if people keep holding on to the shitty image that some people have of i, top hats and bunnys or sawing in half. The youth of today need to take it and make it relevent to the society we live in thats how all art forms evolve. Look at Blaine and dare i say it Dynamo. These guys look just like you and me-
- but there magic blows you away, WHY because your not expectin it in a million years. The magic is what keeps people hookd and amazed no fancy cloths. I do agree with you on the sleight of hand stuff though
sure dress like the guy on GQ is not relevent.
Dress like a rock star or a famous actor is also irrelevent
No I think I will wear white sneakers and baggy jc penny blue jeans,basebat hat on backwards and a schoolboys back pack to try to express worldliness and interuge and mystery
your right if your magic blows them away
But often with strangers you need to stop them first.Nice clothes,mysterious cloths can buy you a couple of secounds
and if your magic is so kick ass don’t you want your clothes to match the level of your magic?
really what is the big issue about stepping up your outfit a tad bit if your a professional?
Jeff Mcbride ,Kurt Krissler and Rocko Salino have all told me personally a magician needs to appear as if he has a better place to go and better thens to do.
Now all these magicians approach that situation very differently but I can asure you they don’t wear cloths from the salvation army or the Gap or Banana Republic
Yeah i meen its certainly not about being scruffy i think RELEVANT is a better word. I think Chriss Angel has got it right to be honest. He does looks relevant and when he does magic he looks like a magician. I think the key is finding the midway point and not being to much of one or the other. Also i think rocco has managed this.
cool we are starting to understand each other
personally I feel a magician should offer a flare of danger especially when you have a large female audience.
I remember rocco when he accidently produces a small handgun or lady’s panties or a brandy glass
and Jeff when he does his karate moves and throws cards out in the audience
and Gazzo when he cuts his heckers down to size
Your fucking awesome
I kinda nicked your transpo method at the start
If ya like magic click my name and watch my videos.
