Re: Are you REALLY an entertainer????????????

This just in (Thursday January 28, 2010) from the DENNY & LEE MAGIC eNEWSLETTER ======================================================

Walter Blaney sent me this clip about a week ago and I have watched it so many times. I consider it to be one of the BEST 3 1/2 minutes in show business history.

Becoming The Best (Entertainer / Magician) You Can Be

"First think as an entertainer, then as a magician"

Any one can learn and do a magic "trick", but to take a trick and turn it into an amazing performance is one of the keys to performing great magic.

Talent Agent recommendations

I am looking for a good talent agent to take the show back on the road. I have been off the road for ten years and things have changed. Some of the good agents have moved to not so good agencies and some of the bad ones moved to the good agencies. What happened? I think we should have a forum where we can tell others about agents they are not so good and boost about the good ones. Here is a good one from ten years ago "Andrea Kaufman Entertainment" Brigantine, New Jersey. Another one that I rContinue
