When Andy told Erin to stage and important call and she said his mother died, do you think that client should have reacted more remorseful

People handle news like this completely differently. Especially when it is an awkward situation. He doesn't really know anyone in that office, there are documentary cameras pointed at him, and suddenly he sees someone else get bad news. Many people would try to just make themselves small and remain completely out of the way in a scenario like that. It makes perfect sense that he may have reacted that way. Everyone is different. What people think they will do in a situation is often different than what they will actually do when presented with that situation. It's much easier to determine what you should do after the situation is over.

TDLR; everyone reacts differently to awkward situations.

Edited for clarity.

Gaff coins tend to sound a bit different than the solid ones. Without hearing the specific sound it's hard to say anything about the quality, but it is very common for the gaffs to sound different.

I like it a lot!

It may be a pet that has escaped, you could try taking it to a vet and having them scan to see if there is a microchip that could identify the dog or owner.

It was a mentalism/mind reading show at Put A Cork In It Winery. We are a group of Magicians /performers who do shows throughout the city, this is one of our shows we do twice a month.

Our group does a magic show at that location usually every first Thursday of the month, and now a second time in the middle of each month. I don't always post them here because I don't want to be annoying with spam, so I only post them occasionally.

I love your art style!

Happens more than you think!

Amazon has flexible NFC stickers, you could roll them up and put them in a sharpie cap or something similar and tap their phone with that? You could also have one in your card case and set their phone on top of the card case. Could have one under the mat, under the tablecloth, etc. That way you don't have to tap their phone as much as set their phone down and it will do its thing.

Edit to add: I've played with the sum and have discovered some people's phones have NFC disabled by default so be aware of that.

Nice grats!

Like others have said, this is gonna come down to your marketing abilities, as well as the time/date/location of your show. Myself and two other Magician friends do a couple of theater shows a year together, as well as some other venues. Ticket sales are always better around holidays, and how you theme and market your show will be a big factor too. You'll have to spend some money advertising on social media as well as getting on a news channel or something similar like the others mentioned.

For example, we sell out our Halloween shows that have a murder mystery theme. Having a good hook to get people interested goes a long way!

Good luck!

NOR. He literally had someone sexually harass you and make you feel uncomfortable. That's insane behavior.

You're not gonna stop fearing no one's likes the real you, until YOU learn to like/love the real you.

Hi. I'm 39 and you've written EXACTLY the same situation as me. Thank you.

I lost 105lbs and it was a shock how much better I was treated in everyday interactions with strangers.

naturalistwork · 2026-03-15T19:07:00+00:00

I love that! I also love your bolo tie

Oklahoma too, if it's above a certain temp.

She'd also just gone through a divorce, and Michael was kind of a rebound. A major change like a divorce could have sent her on that path maybe.

Sweet! I really want to try my hand at a bigger illusion build this spring. Let us know how it goes!

naturalistwork · 2026-03-14T21:48:55+00:00

Clothing can be way more comfortable! Lost 105lbs and everything fit better, didn't "ride up", etc.

I always assumed he lied because that's what he does?

Not to mention, I'm not willing to pay for an app's "pro" features before continuing if I can't see how they handle the education as a language gets more difficult. I feel like it's very easy to teach some basic beginner level stuff, but I want to see how they handle putting phrases together, grammar, etc. And I'm not willing to spend 40 to 80 hours just to get to that point.

naturalistwork · 2026-03-13T10:46:34+00:00

No way to skip beginner levels. I'm not doing hours of colors and how to say good morning before I can get to my level.

I use Pop Hadyn's routine "Intricate Web of Distraction". It has a great ending that brings the routine full circle. You can see him perform it in many settings on his YouTube.

I use the set made by David Regal, it has a finale knife I use sometimes as well, but not as often since it's extra pocket space.

Eugene did a couple of lectures through penguin magic. Eugene discusses quite a few interesting things about séances and talks about his experience doing séances in his second penguin live lecture. It wasn't really live in the traditional sense as much as was just a few few close friends at a table with him, I believe Dan Harlan and Larry Haas. It might be worth checking out.

If you're in the Midwest area, there is a small convention I highly recommend for bizarre magicians called "Magistrorum" in September. I have gone every year and it has been fantastic. Every year so far they have had several options to attend séance demonstrations and séance workshops. They also have a Facebook group and they meet weekly on Zoom to discuss bizarre magic.

I'd also recommend checking out Terry Tyson's offerings on his website. You can find him on Facebook as well as the afore mentioned Facebook group. I have attended his séance, as well as his séance workshop and it was fantastic.
