All of those on here that have been considered experts at Busking; Gazzo, Jimmy, Kozmo, just to name a few; have been taught by Cellini in one way or another. The man was superb at getting "fat hats!" That's the nub of the thread now. How important is the money? And in that, Cellini prospered! I still remember his "hat lines" he shared with me back in '79! Sheer genius! Sir Richard.

When you're doing your own act, you're an artist, be it good or bad.
When you're doing someone else's act, you're a hack. When you're doing something in between, well, you're kinda in between. IMO, It seems impossible to NOT eventually be doing your own act. Your environment, your history, your audiences, your skills, your personality all naturally transform anything you do into something different/unique/better. When you add confidence, character, interest and curiosity, the sooner the unique act will develop. In closing... Gazzo does the cups. Nobody seems to criticize him for that. I don't think money has anything to do with it.

I apologize all...I should have PM'ed Fathatter instead of derailing art vs. money points(along with all the other interesting subplots).
Since it appears Jimmy and Kozmo are taking breaks from this thread, and Fathatter seems insistant on finding out more...would suggest Fathatter try PM's to satisfy his curiousity and let this thread return to it's original discussion...

One of the first tricks I learned was C&R rope...when I first did it, I pretty much did it move by move and used all the lines as my teacher had showed me. Over the years I've added, deleted, and tweaked the routine until it's no longer recongizable as that first time. Oh crap...does that make me an artist?

In this case, however, it wasn't anger. It was purpously repeating your original sentence structure that did the trick in making it hard to read. Quote:

You didn't really "just" ask a question, did you? What you really did was to jump to conclusions and basically accuse someone of certain behaviours and wrap it in the form of a rhetorical question. Again, nice try. So, no, unless you purposly fart in church just to cause a commotion, I would say they are not equivalent. Perhaps you should re-read Kozmo's post about his feelings for Cellini and how it ended. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. I think if you re-read that post, you'll feel differently.

Kozmo wrote: "It's my greatest regret that I didn't fix it." This stood out and is the base of my question. If you can fix something and don't then there is regret. This isn't a contest for me Frank. There are no points awarded no prize won. That being said... I didn't call you angry, said anger will do that, and it will. Could also make one make no sense. Mine: It's fair to interpret, "However we didn't end good. It was a business thing and it just sucked." as money got between us. Did I get it wrong? Should I not have thought that? Yours: It's fair to interpret "So when money is involved character, friendship, being a good dude to one another goes out the window?" as YOU DID. Did I get it wrong? Should I not have thought that? I examined Kozmos sentence and compared/interpreted it to "money got between us". You examined my sentence and then compared/interpreted it to my sentence. WTF? Yes I did ask a question. Simple one too. Surprised it's caused such a deal. There is a lot going on that I am not aware of. Clearly no one wants to enlighten the masses. You never know unless you ask so I did my part. I'm going to guess that those giving me the business for asking know more than most. The clam up is a mystery. "Someone posted something that I don't like. They are trying to cause a commotion! Bunch of trolls." |

I think I understand.
Anyway... I'm pretty sure what you consider a "clam up" is basically people just not wanting to go to a level of detail that is nobody else's business and likely inappropriate in a public forum.

The parts about art vs money, annoyance of clones, and starting by imitating but growing into your own act...all the types of conversations I love to have with fellow magicians (though usually better with a few beers!). In addition: - got some insight from Jimmy and Kozmo and other experienced performers: always useful to a part time wannabe such as myself - found out Devois "knows some things too" - discovered fathatter's character - reaffirmed that Frank is a stand up guy Given the 12 pages I'm sure I missed some points, but overall it's given hours of amusement.

No shot...I didn't attribute any positive or negative to the comment. It's just the first thread you've been contributing to, and so others are learning about you. It's up to each individual how they feel about you.
