    Alex... Great videos you put out and share. THANKS! You're the man. Your style, consistent pace, and clear explanations are among the best I've seen. I'm new and watched a ton of CZcams videos, and have taken a few magic lessons. I've been at it for 2 months and having a blast. It keeps my mind active with traumatic brain injury, and brings joy to my grandkids and my neighbors in the senior home. Thanks again Alex

  • @tomobrien4149
    @tomobrien4149 Před 4 lety +5

    Thanks, Alex. Especially about teaching. How to teach something is different from doing
    it, as you know. I had a skill; lwhen that career was over I had to do a lot of thinking
    and a lot of work to figure out if I could actually get it across to others. When I finally got
    that problem solved ( for most students ) the next step was to see if I could teach the
    other instructors my method. Limited success with that.
    Anyhow, where I'm headed with this is I would love to see you do a series on teaching.
    At level one a magician shows a trick and explains how it is done - some folks are pretty good at this, some are better. At level two the teacher/magician could get into what other teacher/magicians might look for to help
    them with students who are having trouble. ( Gawd, that was a horrible sentence. ! )
    Okay, time for a little objective flattery .... you are fun to watch, you could do anything and a lot of people would watch. Even puzzles! ( Sorry Chris ). But you also have a kind of motivational flair. I sincerely think that
    is a gift and that you have it. A lot of people would love to see more from you.
    Hope you and yours are staying safe. I lost a friend yesterday but at my age I have to accept that.
    Best regards, Tom OBrien.

    Thanks for the great insights Alex! I liked how you didn’t only say the “good” sides of making money off magic! As a 6th tip, I’d say I’ve made a lot of money from winning talent shows, mainly at school. It’s basic, but if you work hard enough on individual performances, it’s a nice small source of magic income!

    Usually when performing with cards not a lot of people can see the cards and people are lost during the trick, then making it awkward. Do you think I should do card tricks or should I do props? Or is there a certain way to do card magic in front of large crowds?

      Also, you have to work on making the effects play larger. Use space, move around, and bring the cards up eye level whenever possible. I have done complete stage shows with a deck of cards, so it is possible for sure.

    there is a lot 'right' in this video. although i'm definitely not a magician, i've made a profession out of my hobby. which was sound and music. and after it became a profession it definitely became less fun. which is someting to keep in mind although i've never regret it! something that i think is missing in this video is the fact that if you want to do something for money, you have to want to do it for free as well, otherwise it won't work! For me there is no shame in having magic as a hobby. and doing a trick for my friends, figuring out a trick that i see or being fooled by a trick that i see satisfies me at the same level.

    Magic shops often sell plastic junk that only "magicians" have. And the big shows are often expensive set ups with lot of props and light and smoke. I like coins and magic with every day items. Often performed with a smile and self irony.

    So you calculated:
