Magician/Illusionist as a Profession

if your serious about learning some tricks just ask me… I can give you the advice and tips of where to get and what kind of awesome tricks that would give you great reactions and maybe dates and phone numbers

Most tricks are quite expensive, but some of them are hard to do and it will only dissapoint you. Go with Mr Dallas advice go get the stealth pen and TT if your starting. and a deck of cards. with those in your arsenal you could already do more than a hundred tricks. so your a photographer? I wish you live near maybe you could take pics of me for my portfolio… but it would be better if you videographer to take while i perform on street

Yes, I was serious about learning the DISAPPEARING NAPKIN/HANKY trick. Not really looking to use it for dates … just the amusing part of it all.

No, I’m not a photographer … just wanted to view some of those hotties that fella from Dallas is always taking pics with! :smiley: Eye candy is good candy! :stuck_out_tongue:

well as mr dallas siad it’s called thumb tip. If you like good ellusions go to Ellusionist : Street Magic Training Facility - Learn Magic Tricks

A few of my friends make the following joke about me, " must be those pheremones" now I don’t go out deliberately trying, but I have never had a girlfriend over 20 (I am over 30) and they are always attractive girls and not the ditsy bimbo types either. I don’t use any for of product but just make sure I use nonverbal cues, humour and listen to what other people are saying (and yes I have a psychological background as well, and do use profiling in understanding those around me). And the feeback p0eople give about their encounters with me are that they feel comfortable around me, nd trust me. Again attributes given to many products used by people to try and apparently stimulate the response in others. I am a bit of a collector of skills, like to learn things as the more we understand and can do the more aware we are of the world around us. And my pathway to magic started when I wanted to learn magic to my a friends daughters happier.

TT’s still have their place, even though many people know about them, but what I have found is that magic is entertaining but trying to use it as a pickup routine has a bit of the geeky factor mowadays. But what I like to do is profile people and do a little psychic trick. When you tell peopel about themselves, especially things that no one else knows about them (I am talking about the way they feel inside about themselves that they never share with others) that understanding of a human being amazs them in a more subtle way, and it can increase the trust levels by creating an empathic connection on a psychological level. Again though you can’t do this to all people because not all situations are appropriate to share that type of information, but many girls will think that you are their soul mate because they think you are on the same wavelength. Also this technique is o\good for the bonding process with female partners but the problem is that when the relationship ends does cause issues at times, since most males are not overly aware of the needs of females, or understand them, when you can bond using profiling techniques you can develop a deeper bond than they would establish with the average person. Again all the apparent affectations associated with someone who believes in a product they are using to become more appealing to others.

Lastly to add to the above, it hasn’t anything to do with just how you look, I am 6 foot 2, 150Kg, so a big guy, and yet always have attractive women of all ages around. Personality and perception are what make the person.

Cheers
All

the stuff you said are quite deep so how does one embark into that using psychological thingy. where do we start? kindly enlighten us :slight_smile: About the psychic thing I get what you mean… it builds like a emotional and very personal bond between you and your audience… but the thing is I try not to do it… coz from experience… dont laugh ok? people tend to get scared of me and they think I’m the devil when I do those psyhic tricks. It may work for you but not for me :frowning: One time a girl that i knew fro like a year and I did my levitation she freaked out and did not spoke with me for 2 weeks

I’m a magician and stage hypnotist as well and I used 1 spray of Instant Shine, 2 of IO and 2 of A314 for hypnotism.
One side of the stage volunteers was in very deep hypnosis (even too deep sometimes) the others were more playful.
And for magic, IO and A314 are quite good (even the Akuto version).
Even Instant Honesty if you’re into psychological reading and psychic entertainment.

Considering how and what people talk when dealing with overtly reading their body language and telling them, we can imagine what happens when it comes to using pheros at the same time.

Last question : pheros and street magic… what about the wind ?
It might be… “tricky”…

That’s easy … put your back to the wind … they gotta see, yes? :wink:

And before you get smarty on me … you shouldn’t be doing magic out in a hurricane where the wind is coming from everywhere. :stuck_out_tongue:

I wanna make the hanky or the napkin dissappear! :smiley:

OK, here’s a little psychic one that works far more often than not"

Pick one of these numbers:

1 2 3 4

Now concentrate on it
.

.
.
A little harder, I’m not quite getting it
.
.
.
.
.
OK, I’m starting to get somehting
.
.
.
.
.
.Nope Lost it. Try going back up and putting your finger on the number and concentrating on it for about 10 seconds or so
.
.
.
.
.
Yeah, that seems to be helping
.
.
.
.
.
.I’m getting something again
.
.
.
.
.And, your number is
.
.
.
.
3
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Unless you are a librarian, bookkeeper, accountant, or other number cruncher, or work in some other analytical field, then you would have picked:

2

Geez! You’re yanking my chain these days! :angry:

I picked 2 … scrolled down and see the 3, and went, “HA! :cool:” Then up pops the duece! What the??? :open_mouth:

I’m not sure but suspect that one has to do with the analytical lobe of the left brain and the creative lobe of the right brain splitting the numbers down the middle, then those with a more active right brain selecting the first number to the right, and those with a more active left brain selecting the first number to the left.

About 4 out of 5 people will usually pick the 3, and the other will pick the 2. It’s maybe 1 in 10 that will pick the 1 or the 4.

I once pulled that one on a group of 4 people, and after the first one picked the 3, one of the others wanted me to try it on them. Assuming that they were not going to pick pick the 3 again, I told them to whisper their number to the others, then I blurted out 2. Now they were started to freak out a bit and the third person says “OK, what about me” We repeat the whisper to the others procedure and I say in all authoritativeness 4, and now all of them are like WTF. The fourth one wants to take a stab at it too, and assuming that there’s no way he’s going to pick the last remaining number, I fall back on the 3, and nailed it again, and now all four of their jaws drop. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen! I swear these people were convinced that I was psychic.

oh i apologize uhm what i mean when i say street magic not only outdoors… coz in my opinion if your out of your realm like lets say in a lobby or lounge, clubs etc I kinda still consider that as street magic.

your really into that napkin dissapearance huh? I told you go to Ellusionist : Street Magic Training Facility - Learn Magic Tricks they have it there.

good point on the turn your back from the wind so your scent is being blown to your spectators… smart. I never thought of that.

i picked 1 though
