Hi Luis,

Having be taped on some TV shows, often they are not directed -or co-directed by people who know well magic (except for your shows, lol), and the editing is not great (to be polite), and sometimes it detracts the magic effect or worse it exposes the secret.
Do you have advice to prevent this kind of disagrement, specially if the act is not "thinked" for TV but more for theater

Best from France

If I was asked to answer, in a single piece of advice, the question just asked, I would say something that some will consider absolutely outrageous…

“Always tell the secrets of your magic to the technicians around you, whether it’s a tv or live show.”

I could talk for hours about just how vital this is in every possible way…
At least this is the approach I’ve used this over the years and I can’t complain…
