Not only magicians in the Philippines but all over the world have to contend with the limitations of a magic performance. Performing a magic show is not like performing a song-and-dance number. It’s not like juggling three balls or doing cartwheels and somersaults. The performance of magic needs pec ...

Every particular group has its own specialized language. It is called jargon. Only members of the group are supposed to speak and understand it with some measure of ease. Doctors, for example, might say, “The local PCT advises the CPA when passing ADHD clients with PTSD to CPN’s from the CMHT,” and ...

Next to magicians in the Philippines, I find sport fishermen fun to talk with. I always have a good, relaxing conversation with people who catch fish for a hobby or for sports. They are funny and lovable folks. They always spend inordinate time talking about the fish they catch. They even spend time ...

Magicians in the Philippines who perform comedy magic, or who try to spice their act with comedy business, know that making people laugh is a difficult enterprise. Even the most talented funny man will tell you that comedy is a hit-or-miss affair. Funny antics that look hysterically hilarious on pap ...

When something is floating, the first thing that comes to the mind of the lay people is “string”. In my experience, a performance of the Zombie Ball would sometimes invite children and adults to comment, “It’s on a string!” Every time I hear this comment, I let go of all my inhibitions, comfortable ...

One of the frequently asked questions by beginning magicians is how to routine one’s magic act. Let me answer it with an extended metaphor. Julie Andrews (playing the character Maria in the movie The Sound of Music) said that if you learn the seven notes “that happen to be”, you can use them to writ ...

I may not be a cool person, but let me suggest a few cool ways to handle the magician’s archenemy—the heckler. When you are heckled during a performance, don’t engage the heckler in a debate. We are entertainers, not members of a debating team. Don’t compete or debate with a smart aleck in the audie ...
