Thanks for the welcome back guys.
From posts on FB I'm seeing a lot of people wanting info on marketing and getting gigs. Is that right? |

Craig,
It's nice to see you are coming back with a new focus. You definitely have a lot of magic talent. I think Chopped was really revolutionary. Welcome back. KJ |

Although I perform it's a lot less than ever before. It means I can come me back and have fun with this stuff without it taking over my life. Which is important as at the end of the day magic should be fun, right! Craig |

I always enjoyed your reviews on the WPR, as well. Glad you're back, Craig. We missed you.
I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. "Red" was a little bit of a fiasco, but nothing you have ever done or said has ever offended me. I'd love to see your favorite close-up effects from the past and present in the lecture, myself. Robert PS - Just one thing. Is Dave ever going to admit that "Synopsasize" isn't a real word???

Crqaig,
THank you for your comments. I would like to echo what Robert M posted. I would like to see the clsoe-up, coins, and cards effects you have professionally used in your stand-up, strolling, partiies, and weddings gigs. In addition, I would like your views as to what makes for good effects to be used at these types of venues, how to approach a group and/or table, what effects you should open and close-with. In addition, it would be nice to hear your own experiences, successes, failures, and advice on how to get more shows. YOu have a great eal of practical expeience. IT would be great if you can share your experience and what you have learned in the trenches and provide practical business advice on the business aspects of magic and performing. Best wishes to you and your family. Michael

It would be good to see you present/teach a short set for both strolling and tables. People may not want to learn every trick, but this way you can demonstrate your thoughts on approach, flow and finishing. Thanks |

Really good to see you back Craig. Glad you are in a good place, you were never in a bad place with me mate. I'd like to hear about integrating routines into your speaking engagements. What type of routines and how many. Do you interchange routines using the same keynote speech. Marketing as well. Thanks

Why did you leave in the first place??? The guy you used to do the review with has set himself up as the expert magic trick man and talks over everyone else during the review. People that are interested in magic leave because more and more magicians don't want to help others and all have Superior attitudes.

Pocket Management during a walk around gig would be great, especially when considering your huge 'A' material in play

I had goals I wanted to achieve and can couldn't focus while I was spending so much time doing other stuff. I couldn't have achieved what I have in the last four years if I was still on the WPR. Now however I have more time which is why I'm doing this lecture. Dave Penn is a very knowledgable magician and knows more than most. He can speak over people sometimes but don't let that worry you! |

Thanks for all your kind words guys.
I have taken all your thoughts on board and submitted my set list to Murphy's. I'm going to address certain performing conditions and routines that work in those conditions. It will allow me to talk about everything everyone has asked via the use of tricks. Then we can discuss marketing in the Q&A section. Is there anything in particular people want to know from a marketing POV. Thanks again for your feedback. It is much appreciated. Craig. |

Craig,
The suggestions above are all great, IMHO. One additional request I have (if you could squeeze it in) would be any updates to how you are using Chop, or ideas that others have brought to your attention as to how they are using Chop, that you think are worth sharing. At any rate welcome back, and I am looking forward to this!

Welcome back Craig - I truly appreciate your honesty and candor, and it seems like your time away from magic served you well. It takes a lot of guts to admit you were ever wrong, and it is an ability that many have never learned how to do. I am looking forward to your lecture, and all of the insightful information you will be offering.
Never criticize someone else until you have walked a mile in their shoes. Then, when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away from them and you will have their shoes.
