Hiya, gang! Sorry I haven't been very active around here lately. My schedule has been really busy. I've still been lurking just not commenting.
Anywho- I just wanted to drop in with a tip that has worked well for me. At one of my restaurants, I suggested to the GM that we stream to Facebook Live a video of me performing in order to promote magic night. You can see the resulting video here: https://www.facebook.com/ChattyMonks/videos/646779935524204/ As you can see, the video currently has almost 4k views! It has been a big help both for the restaurant, AND for me! In fact, in addition to boosting awareness about this particular restaurant, I've even had people show up at my OTHER restaurants because they saw the video and ended up on my website looking at my schedule. Also, if anyone was wondering- The effect in the video is Toibox by Jonathan Kamm and it completely fries people! Have a great day, everybody! |

The effect is MEANINGLESS!
But not a bad idea to stream people having fun live! Nice way to use the medium. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice idea Matt. I'm going to use it. I'm curious about what is meant by "Live" streaming video though. Clearly you didn't get 4000 views at once so people didn't watch it live.
How is "Live" streaming different than just posting a video? Also to Danny Doyle: What do you mean by "The effect is MEANINGLESS!"? |

The effect being done here means nothing at all. The people having a good time and using the medium is the news in this thread in my view.

Danny just couldn't say something nice without also saying something negative, it's in his nature. Matt was just letting us know what the effect was as a side note in case we were interested

I wasn't sure if Danny was criticizing Matt's chosen effect or if he was just pointing out that it doesn't matter what effect you chose for your promotional video.

The effect itself is meaningless because it needs to be YOU. The effect is not the point. Anything Matt does IS him. He has people having fun. I'm sorry you can't seem to grasp this very basic concept. It is not negative in any way to say so. To claim what I said was negative is either a complete misunderstanding or lack interest in understanding. Playing into your own little agenda and misconceptions about other people never helps. Now go ahead and project some other nonsense on me that isn't true. It is all you ever do. Or better yet you just worry about what you mean and stop assigning incorrectly what others mean? And no that is not angry. Just facts and a request. Get over yourself and your pre conceived notions about others please.

Danny, your experience makes you a valuable voice here. I sometimes suspect, however, that you don't realize there's no tone of voice when typing. Several times I have seen you post something that you probably mean as constructive, but I can totally see why people read in a different meaning and intent.
You are absolutely right that the performer and the communicated experience of his audience is the whole point. If people see on the Facebook page that there's a magician, that's cool. If they see a video of people having fun with said magician, that's much cooler. It sells the venue and the performer. But I was scratching my head over the word "meaningless" until you clarified. It came across as unconstructive the first time. The clarification turned the comment around in my mind. I say all this because I, for one, do appreciate much of what you add here. It is not an attack, but just letting you know you do come across in print as less kind and helpful than I believe you intend. Patrick |

Good point. So then is it out of line to ask for clarification the way Mike did and not ASSUME something bad and then just attack me for no reason? (You did not do this.)
See we all have ways we communicate, it is called a conversation. Like you and I are having. No harm no foul, no attacks. I am perfectly ok with that. I see what you are saying and yes it is up to the reader in general to add tone and intent to the written word. But do you also see a problem with attacking and not understanding? It has happened too many times and does not have to. It is a conscious choice bring made to assume and not clarify and never come back and admit wrong. So yes I see your point. Not angry about it in the least. My sincere question is do you think that is the only problem in play?
