What are you views on how the magician should present himself?
Casual? Frilly shirt & tux ? What's your style in different situations; bar, corporate, etc., and does it extend to the kind of magic and performance you're doing? What does everyone else think? Cheers! Mark

That’s a really good question, Mark. I think the situation defines what you wear, though. For instance, if I were working at the grand opening of some expensive restaurant or a classy private party, I would wear a Tux or a very nice suit. Whereas, if I were working a bar or something as casual, it would just be a good suit. If you are dressed well, you mentally feel good, thus allowing you to be comfortable to perform and enjoy the evening. If you wear something that doesn’t fit or your conscious keeps telling you that the patrons can see the beige stain on your shirt, you will not have as good an evening. All because of your clothes!!

"Always dress like you are going to be doing something much more interesting later on".
Follow this advice and you create a vibe all around you. Fraid I don't remember where I read it, but you know it's true. Do you have the confidence to pull this off though??? Paul S. |

I believe it was Jeff McBride who was repeating advice given to him that he should always dress as though he had someplace better to go.
T. A. Waters said that you should dress in such a way that if someone were to tell another guest "There's a mentalist [magician] here tonight," that the other person would know that it was you. He didn't specify how you should dress, which was his point --that you should dress in a way that fits you, yet stands out from others and identifies you as someone out-of-the-ordinary. Eddie Tullock is known for his vest and bolo tie, while Lee Asher is known for his monk's robes and halo. (ha ha) |

Jeff McBride also made that quote while wearing what looks like a second-hand costume from an opera written by a rabid donkey.
Adam V - 9 out of 10 dentists recommend him.
