Confusing Crayons: One Person RoutineBrian T. Lees The Confusing Crayons is a well known classic. Two crayons and two cylinders are introduced. A volunteer gets one cylinder and selects a crayon. The magician takes the other cylinder and crayon. Instructing the volunteer to follow along the cylinders are turned over, back again and then over. The magicians crayon is right side up and the volunteers pointing down. This is a class that, up to this point, requires the use of a volunteer.
Confusing Crayons, 1 Person Routine is done without the need for a volunteer. Communication takes place with the magician's audience interaction. The audience... | 2018 / 2 / 24 | $15.00 £12.62 €13.80 C$20.36 AUD$22.57 ₹1038.00 CN¥103.20 JP¥1624.29 R$57.75 | to wish list | ||

Disaster to LaughterBrian T. Lees As magicians we are hired to entertain. The show must go on is a harsh truth that we all accept responsibility for. The fact is performances do not always take place without problems. If you have ever found yourself standing in the lights, with a failed trick you know what I am talking about. The audience knows the magic was a complete flop. There is no one else on stage with you. When that happens, we all promise we will never put ourselves in that situation again.

Conversational NegotiationBrian T. Lees Entertainment should not be a menu of prices set in stone. There are ways you can charge more for your performances. The power rests in the key elements of communication. Bringing the conversation to an ultimate "take it or leave it" conclusion may not be in the magician's best interest.
There are four elements that need to be covered through conversation. Quoting a price without knowing those elements is a problem that chips away at the magician's profits. Magicians who make more money deploy these elements. They are not hard. In fact, they are so simple to work with that no special training... | 2017 / 12 / 4 | $25.00 £21.04 €23.00 C$33.94 AUD$37.61 ₹1730.00 CN¥172.00 JP¥2707.15 R$96.25 | to wish list | ||
