Its very nice, but its hard to read some of it because of the thin font.

Another thing , which i will say before Craig does :lol:

It's the name of the site.

thats magic, is almost universaly linked to Paul Daniels, as it's one of his catch phrases, and to many will be thought of as a bit cheesy, thanks to this ascociation

what your offering isnt magic, since the site offers something different, with the psychic parties, and readings.

now, my other site, which you may not of seen is is

www.synchronist.co.uk

I know its a bit rough, but its still early days on this project

(and i did it on the cheap) but references to me being a magician are hidden within the text, rather than in the title, to avoid confusion.

The public dont know he difference betwen magic and mentalism Im afrais to say, well not the average joe anyway(u lot and your boundaries, dont like to look outside the box do we)...Ive always been thatsmagicchris for as long as I can remeber, everyone knows me as that....Im not changing it now, so I do different things, take a look at the old Houdini posters, they were very spiritual looking, no matter how many times he said he was a Magician people still thought he had supernatural abilities...And no matter how much I say Im a magician, if I perform something odd or some readings of some sort, then they say "no but your physic as well arnt you" Plus the site was cheap, Im a designer so me and a mate did it!

Yes the font is questionable I do agree...but its hard to keep the feel without the font really? Arial just wudnt work lol

have just noticed that my site maps text are not align properly...


Its very nice


and thankyou that means alot comign from you :D

agreed mate, though I think that in this day and age with derren brown, and uri geller , the public have a better idea of what a mentalist is, than they did a few years back.


Ive always said that at the end of the day the public always see a magic show, but I dont think that they always book one.Sometimes they are after something a little different.


I often think about Houdinis words on being a called a magician..

" shake a tree and a thousand magicians come falling out.. but there will only ever be one houdini!", which was in part one of the reasons why i decided to come up with something totaly different.

when i am satisfied that i have the material, and the aproach right, will i launch it on the general public, with a decent web site,

(with the same domain name. I struck lucky with that!!!) :wink:

Yeh I see your point, but with my site, maybe the fact that it says magic and it looks a bit different will give off the feel that things arnt what they seem and your getting something a little different to....normal magic site..(whatever that might be)Im still keeping my old site running for some time....This site was all about it being sexy and to push my abstract side a littel more wer as

www.thatmagicchris.co.uk

is a little more cheesey

If my screen were any bigger it'd get completely lost! I had to zoom in to read it and scroll across as it is.

In my case, it's as well as, not a substitute. That aside, the font's simply too small. Bound to say so, don'tcha know...

I like the design and layout, I don't have problems reading the font although perhaps a point or two larger would make it easier for all to see and read.

Check spelling and grammar - Chameleon is spelt wrong in the "about Chris" section and I would remove the word "performed" in the Ghost Parties section

Your email address has .co.uk.co.uk on the end.

I would shield your email address too - just having a mail to tag and your email address is inviting spam from email harvesters.

One of your pictures doesn't load

I tend to agree about the font too - the whole thing seems a little small and slightly difficult to read (and I have good eyesight!).

Apart from that - not a bad site
