Hi I have been working resturants for sometime now I have currently been working 3 night's a week for the past year at the same resturant. The problem I have is the staff are now working out the routines I always swap and change things around but the main killer effects I always like to keep and now the staff are on youtube trying to work things out lol.
Does any one else experiance this and if so how do you get around it I do not want to change resturant as this is one of the best places to eat in my area and meny people go there I was thinking of doing some effects where the staff have some involvement ie planting a dupe card under a plate when thay put it down so I can reveal it later any suggestions would be appreciated |

You shouldn't be doing effects that are on youtube in my opinion. You have to understand, they are interested in what you do because it's amazing. If you've been there for 3 years you're obviously doing a good job and you're keeping people happy including the staff. I wouldn't worry about them catching on too much because they're not going to try to heckle you or reveal what you're doing while you're working with them in the restaurant, nor are they going to give up being a waiter/waitress and begin doing magic in the restaurant. You sound like your job is pretty secure there. Have fun with those that are trying to learn it, include them if you can, and possibly teach them a trick or two.

Thanks for your input twistedace some good info there but I do believe that most of the classic effects ie cups and balls ring flight card to wallet bottle thru table chop cup hunted deck card on cealing ect are on you tube in some form and done badly at that and as a result tiping the method.

Also, with the "main killer effects," would it be possible to perform them for the wait staff privately, but do it in a sucker way, therefore getting them more confused, and possibly sending them in the wrong direction? Just a thought.

Are you there for the staff or the customers?

Who cares what the staff thinks. You're not performing for them. Your audience are the paying customers...right?
