Broken Wand Frank Radtke

Message just in from Sterling Dietz - "Fakini" Frank Radtke passed away this afternoon about 3:15 p.m. What a fine gentleman. Frank worked with me to design and he produced my multi colored fluorescent 2 1/4 inch Fakini balls that I use in my show finale. I am so thankful that Denny Haney introduced him to me, and I was able to get to know this special craftsman. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Deep 3

Had several Halloween party Magic performances this season. Had a blast. Holiday performances, for me, allow for adding some effects that do not normally fit in to my close up show.
One particular effect that generated great audience reaction is a card effect called Deep3.
For me, it is all about reactions from my spectators. This effect hit home.
That's not possible..... That's is maybe the best compliment you can recieve in 3 words or less.
I am not a (on the dark side type of person) and sell… Continue

What lessons have you learned about performing magic in general? Not tricks so much, but performance issues. It is often said that we learn more from our mistakes, than our successes.
