This IMHO is turning into the best channel for any level magicians.
The advices here are priceless and it is something that I cannot find anywhere else.
the reviews, interviews, rants and all the info in the channel are much more valuable than any tutorial.
Thank you and carry on sharing your experience.
Thank you so much. It’s comments like this that spur me in to make this the best channel it can be. Seriously. Thank you 🙏
Your info is so important, especially if you work the venues you mentioned. Transitional flowing is a must if you perform in a restaurant like I do, because a lot of times you will have the same people come in week after week and you need a good variety.
Totally agree with you 💯
The knowledge your sharing should 100% help many people out. If I sae this video when I was first getting my act together it would have helped me tremendously. 👍 great stuff man.
Thanks Dave. Glad you like it. Means a lot.
Wow ! Spoon around was my opener for the first time last saturday ! You should have seen my eyes when you picked this one particularly !
You obviously have taste. It’s a bloody awesome opener.
Wonderful information, Where were you 40 years ago when I was first starting. Young, starting magicians are very lucky to have someone like you to bring them along!
40 years ago! I was 4 years old 🤣🤣. Didn’t know this stuff back then.
But seriously thanks for the kind words. Means a lot.
@@magic-tv I was in my twenties and performing in bars (pubs to you) and working SOP! Never did the same set twice becasuse I couldn't remember what I had just done. LOL Keep up the great work your doing.
I remember saying on the WPR that "you need a tractor trailer truck" for the tricks now in your "number one set" lol.
This and your pocket management are amazing mini lectures, very helpful for me and getting my performing more professional getting serious with my magic because I owe it to my clients to be the best
Can’t wait for the pocket management episode!
Mark the calendar. Two weeks today it will drop!!
Amazing!!
Thank you so much for your comments on transitions between tricks. I have been clearly overworking this - trying to create a total coherance of prop and thematic material. Your advice makes me think I can relax about this a bit as long as I provide some rationale for moving from one trick to another other than "for my next trick." Thanks.
You are welcome. The best advice is don’t overthink things too much. Instead focus on getting out there. There is no substitute for flight time.
@@magic-tv Of course, that is true. Unfortunately, during this pandemic I am unable to get back into the restaurant. So, it is all rehearsal, planning, and thinking. I can easily stray into overthinking.
Ah man I can't wait for this vid !! I'm always stressing with this
I like you will like this one.
I know this an older video but I cant thank you enough for this. Ive done stage magic but im starting to do some walk around and this has helped me a lot. Thank you again for the hard work you put into this videos and on your channel.
Oh my days! Just popped up on my youtube. This couldn't have come at a better time for me Craig :)
The timing on this one was perfection for me Craig. Thanks
Wow in reading the comments there are a lot of us at this point starting a new career. You have done great work here, keep this direction going please. Great content for you and us.
Really glad you found it useful. Thanks for the feedback Cop. Appreciate it.
Craig, the highest praise I can give you is that without you, I wouldn't have the skills I needed to become a magician. Thank you.
Fantastic advise Craig! Loving your channel mate!
Thank you for the detail.
You are an amazing mentalist as I was just started working on doing this but just for walk arounds and now I started putting together my list for banquets after watching this video.
lol! I can read minds!! Glad it’s useful.
Thanks.
Back in my musician days, I used to enjoy writing the segue between songs more than writing the songs themselves (I used to even deliberatly put *VERY* different songs next to each other just to test my metal LOL), and I enjoy the same in magic just as much. I'm staggered by the number of magicians that just blunder through without giving it a single thought.
Only started watching your videos in past couple of weeks, but found this one to be the most informative yet; some clear, fantastic advice and top tips. Will be viewing this one a few times over to make sure it all sinks in. Really enjoying Magic TV
Spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and buying equipment. Is this a mentalism act I didn't pick up on ...😳
Awesome timing.
I’m like Derren Brown. Didn’t you know 🤣
Second time watching this. Great advice
Brilliant, Craig! I’m a musician who gigs a lot stepping into pro magic and appreciate your bang on advice on building a magic “act”… it’s like a musician just playing songs vs building a show. Powerful stuff and really helpful!
I feel that every day carry magic effects could feel like the go to badass magic repertoire update for me in my situation which could hopeful help me conveniently have more material for close up gigs without having to buy a collection of new suits straightaway so fingers crossed! Thank you! Oh and I tend to have mostly used sponges, rubber bands, double cross, ring on rope, cube 3, liquid metal forks as go to close up gigging effects with card, watch steal and signed coin in as potential extra effects, Raza :)
Absolutely fantastic advice for all magicians.
❤️❤️❤️
Probably one of your best videos. Such great advice
Thanks. Really glad you like it.
Great advice Craig, thank you very much
Thank you for watching and commenting
Brilliant video. Informative and valuable. Thank you 🙏
Bravo once again Craig.
What a awesome video. Thanks for the advice 🙏
Thanks Mr Harmon. Glad you liked it.
Super valuable advice!!!!
Thanks mate.
What a GREAT video on an important topic. Well done.
Thanks Thom. Glad it’s been well received.
I have always struggle with the introduction. It's a very good advice approaching to people that way. I'm definitely going to try this.
Thank you for an amazing video with great practical advice. I’ll definitely use them as it’s my goal to begin performing in a restaurant this year !!
I like that, extreme burn transpo
Really informative stuff Craig!
Thanks. Put a lot of effort into this one.
Great stuff love how you transition into next effect that was always my challenge- you are making me think harder thanks
I’m blown away. I’ve been trying to write set lits for the last two days. That’s crazy! How did you do it? You read my mind. Anyway, let me just say that I implore you to do more stuff on the « workings » of pros. Thanks.
I just read other peoplés comments. Seems I’m not the only one!
Thanks very much. Glad you found it useful.
I’ll be doing a lot more videos like this in the future.
Great VID!!!! I like to have have 3 trick n two sets and they can plug n play with one another. That way from one table to another if the first table is watching they done see the same thing. Fast rest is very KEY! Mark cards is a great pack trick n if using a reg deck can always do Ez oil & water, this that @ other another good trick. I like to end with hopping half and I am resting it has I put the coins back in my pocket that way when the coins vanish I say just like that the coins have vanish and so has my time will you hope you enjoyed and have a night.
Great Stuff!
Thanks. Glad you like it.
For a walk around, I have my coin production "something from nothing, Opus by Garrett Thomas, Devil's Tail by Jay Sankey- next set Fiber Optics by Richard Sanders, Hyper ring also Richard Sanders, Rope Nut Knot by Giovanni -next set It's Pursonal by Michael O'Brian, Oddballs by Scott Strange, Pocket Cups and Balls by Freak. Banquet set, Opus by Garrett Thomas, Ring to Key Ring (Ring flight), Ring and string-next set. (Building on use of imagination and illusion for transitions) Super lemon, professors nightmare, Color Psychology by Adam Wilber -next set. Any card by Richard Sanders, In Case of emergency by Adam Wilber, Time Machine book test...
This is great! Question: do you go out of your way to have your set lists be different from another? I know some magicians have a "signature trick," do you think that's wise?
Good question. It’s fine having a signature trick but I wouldn’t create every set around that trick. There might be groups that have seen it before and want to see something different especially if you work restaurants etc.
You can have multiple sets that include the same trick but I would have variation in there as well.
How’s 4 set lists sound?
1. Money magic
2. Card magic
3.mental magic
4. Metal bending
Each with a unique giveaway?
It's all about the transitions, why do you have something and what ties this effect to the next.
Great advice!
Transitions are the key to a successful performance. 💯 agree with you.
