Thank you Frank. It's so hard to get live show video, but I enjoyed making this little thing so much I'm going to find a way to do more videos. I have an idea for a little home made kid show, like a local kid show from the 50's and 60's.

This isn't a promo video per se but I use it as a promo video and it's worked well.
It's an extremely short clip that Cal Magic put together from one of the evening shows where I performed. I just tell my prospective clients that ask for a clip that I was the headliner that evening and "I'm the guy with the hat". Both clients that asked for a clip hired me so I know it doesn't hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlj5kAh28TU I don't "try" to get kids shows and my focus is corporate but I secretly love to do kids shows when I've got nothing else going on. In fact I've got one tomorrow and can't wait.

Nice looking videos Frank and Doc. I can tell the video equipment was of professional quality.. it really shows. I think, Frank, even though there's not a whole lot of your work in the clip, it's enough for most people to get the idea you're a pro. The venue says it, the costuming says it, the quality of the video says it, your stage presence comes through, even in the short clip. I think most of the time clients just want to see SOMETHING.. Before I had video, I had a mom tell me she hired another entertainer over me just because they had some video. I asked who she'd hired and got a website. I checked it and this 'performer' was awful, truly, and the video didn't do anything to make him seem better. But he had video and I didn't. I also suspect it had to do with price. This guy charges $50 for a party. You get what you pay for. If anybody's curious about this 'performer', pm me and I'll send you the link.

Oh and Michael.. great, old school, big, impressive magic! I love the 'big' Houdini-esque quality of what you're doing. I'm not sure how much kid show work you're getting from it, but I suspect you're getting plenty of work.

Thanks. I think you're exactly right, Mr. Pitts. They just want to see SOMETHING.
And probably something that: 1. doesn't give them an "oh yuck" feeling 2. looks like they're gonna get what they paid for

Based on this video of course. Lets ignor the fact you are in your living room, the magic was poorly executed and you lacked personality, Whats up with what you are wearing? |

Nice video Kelly, good show, good reactions and the video editing is sharp. I'll bet this sells a lot of shows.
