Stick to your guns.

So a few posts ago I told you about someone talking trash about my act. Normally I am OK with that if it is from someone who knows what they are talking about. (This person did not)

So I was watching this clip and noticed something. What I saw was someone that knew what is best for there own act and stuck to there guns about it. I want to tell all of you who have been working very hard on your act and have had some trust worthy people judge it and you have fixed it and now it looks great.That you need to stick to your guns about your act. Now do not get me wrong. I am not saying that if someone (let's say like Copperfield) comes to you and says I think you should Whatever that you do not listen to him. You should always be open for things like that.

All I am saying is if the act that you have right now is your best and you love it and so do the people then you need to have full convince in it as well. If you do not then you might be heading down the wrong road. Just thought that I would let you know that .
Enjoy Magic and Enjoy Life.

Good bye to Branson?

So over at itricks.com they broke the bad news yesterday. Darren Romeo will be leaving Branson Mo and heading to open his show in San Fransico june 3 rd. If you never got to see his show you missed out. It was a great show. He performed some of the classic illusions but while he was singing broadway show hits. I know you are thinking but it was one of the best shows that I saw.

Well thanks for coming to branson and good luck in san fran

Hey everyone try to think really hard about who is going to be on this weeks itricks.com magic week in review podcast. DOne Well you got it Matthew Hampel. I will be on this week podcast over on itricks.com. IT will be up and running by monday. Make sure to stop by and listen up. It will be a great time.

Where does the time go?

So I just remembered that I have not written anything for a while. I know you might be asking why. Well here is the reason . I have been working. I know for some of you this might be a shock. A full time magician doing real shows and not wasting time on the Internet talking about stupid things. I have been working on my web site and my promo work and I have been performing.

This is the thing that most magicians do not get. Most of you think that just because you have bought the top number one magic trick in the world that you should now be working. To tell you the truth performing is %10 of my week . Most of it is working on promo and making calls(which non of us like but have to do to make money). I really hope that you can say that you have been doing the same thing. I think that really I have to say thank you to three people for helping me with getting focused. Number one my good friend and mentor Michael Finney. Number two again good friend Tom Kryztof and number three would be Eric Paul I have been listening to his Thursday night seminars and reading some of his stuff and it has been great for me.

Well I hope that you can start getting focused and start to make some great money. Enjoy magic and Enjoy golf . Now I am going to go golfing because I can :)
