Hey I was wondering wat you guys thought of an idea I had. I was thinking about creating a web site so magicians could chat and show off thier new tricks or moves. There would be diff. catagory's like, card magic, money magic, ball magic (such as sponge balls, billiard balls, cups and balls, and the chop cup) and one for all other close up magic. Tell me what you think.

Not bad idea.

Other forums have a file sharing section. Maybe the MagicCafe could host one?

I don't think so, I think someone has already suggested something like that and they turned it down. The site I was thinkin of makin would be password protected, the way you would get the password would be by filling out a question and answer form.

Hi Ethan,

I'm wondering about potential overlaps with magicvideodepot.com ? Possible similarities in function here, I'm thinking? Let me know what you think. Cheers,

Chris

This website would be using web cams, the video would not be uploaded and you can text chat at the same time. There would be audio and video and text available to use. So in other words you wouldn't need a web cam to chat, you can still watch others even if you don't have one yourself. I have started the work on this project. I am going to be launching a trial basis site. If I get enough interest and members, I will spend more time in making it better. To become a member you will have to fill out a simple form, I will then look it over and if it is up to snuff, I will send the applicants the password to enter the chats. When I get the trial site up and running I will tell everyone here. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Ah I see, so real time interaction. Very nice idea; good luck with the project.

Correct, I hope too see you there sometime when I get it running. I've gotten some interest, so I will be continuing the site. If possible please put a link to us on your sites so we can get more members and more interest

Its a good idea.. like a jam session but it could bring people from all over the world together.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I may be interested in signing up.

Cool, I have been having a few problems with the web cam site I was using to host it, so I will probably be switching over soon. Thank you for your interest.

Ethan - search for Jaxon here in the Café, he sits on a Monday for a similar web exchange

That is where I got the idea from. It got mr thinking, wouldn't it be cool if there was an entire site devoted to web cams for magicians. So now I have created such a site.

Ethan - keep me posted
