You should have said there was 8 including you then you could have said 100% sales. What else you got in store for us?

AND It was my first lecture. At age 14 and me being a no-name there was a great turn-out. I hope to "shed" the no-name title soon. I love lecturing and I am going to try to get into it more soon.

Comming to a bus stop near you.....

Markdini is on a ROLL!

Ohh he is, isn't he...

Why? That's what I am asking. Why? Why can't my lectures be successful? Why do they have to be held at bus stops? AND, why would I lie and embarass myself by sayoing that there were less than 10 people in attendance? WHEW! Great day to let off steam!!

Anyways, to answer a pervious question, the next video, coming shortly, is my performance of Hayashi's Matrix Trilogy. Coming soon! It is still uploading. AND, if anyone lives in Canada, I will let you know, if interested, when I will be doing my next lecture. Thne you can see for yourselves. By The Way, Jay Sankey is doing a lecture in Hamilton, Ontario soon. Let me know if interested! Cost is $20 per person and it is going to be great! I, along with a few friends from them agic club, are trying to organize it.

Stop asking why and think "HOW" anyway Micheal good luck with all the lectures and that I means that from the bottom of me outlaw wallet.

ok... How?

Thank you very much for your support, by the way. Be sure to take a look at my Matrix Trilogy video!


Thanks,

Kras, the reason your lectures are not going to go anywhere is because you, I'm sorry to say this, are a nobody in the magic business. People go to see lectures done by magicians who have been doing magic for twice, if not three times more than you have been doing magic. Also, like I've said before, writing books is not something teenage magicians should be doing. You should definitely read this post by Craig Browning: http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic14907.php
I think some of it may sound very familiar. Lastly, you perform with arrogance:

Applauding his brilliance, the Amazing Michael Kras wrote:And now for my latest and greatest effect . . .

People are going to criticize you for your delusions of grandeur. You may have thought up a decent trick, but that doesn't mean you should be praised for it. It seems like you are telling everyone who watches that you are great, and if by some miracle, you have become even more great.

One last thing . . .
It was in this thread: http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic18558.php&highlight= , that you performed almost this exact trick without the Duct Tape. Then when you suggested the method you just posted in video, people told you it was a bad idea. So what do you do? You ignore the well-meaning advice and do it your own way.

Listen to the posts!

Monker let the boy make his own mistakes. Thats what the Great Markdini says

I'm not trying to prevent him from making mistakes, I'm trying to prevent him from posting them on the forums and the Internet.

Big difference.

What mistakes? They told me the duct tape is a good idea.

My apologies if I at all sounded arrogant. And how else am I going to become a somebody in the magic community if I don't start lecturing?

Nobody said the methnod was a bad idea. They said it would be a good idea if I added the duct tape and a few more sleights. I did so and Voila. Enjoy.

who told you duct tape?

Are you really going to ask that?! Okay, let me try and answer you. Uh, how about you perform? I'm pretty sure that's how almost every other magician has become well-known.

Your fans, shuffles etc. are great.

But your palming and ditching suck.

This about sums it up for me
