I would ask for 10 commandments, but I want to allow for dropped details. --Alan Wheeler English Instructor and Performing Magician Athens, Georgia U.S.A.

The stage has different rules. Don't get me wrong though. I am still pretty good - it is just that my other work is in a different league. It is just that there are other people out there who could give a better answer than me. Still, I will do my best. I will think about it and report back. In the meantime you can have a look at me performing stand up magic and get an idea. Here are a few clips and they are in sequence showing my act. Click Here! Click Here! and Click Here!

I already see some things I need to work on, for example, developing a personality. --Alan Wheeler English Instructor and Performing Magician Athens, Georgia U.S.A.

I do believe the personality thing would be number one I think number two would be to perform with the audience rather than at the audience Number three would be a decent voice. I often think that is half the battle The other two on the list I have no idea about. Perhaps it will come to me.
