I just wonder that, is any rules for tv magic performance, say like if we do something that really strong effect on tv which is only able to do for tv show, and can't do for live performance is that big lie to the audience or we only can do something that able to do on tv and live performance?

There are really no set rules, it depends on what you want to do. Some are comfortable performing with edits and stooges, some with no edits but plenty of stooges, and some believe in only performing what they could show you live.

Here's an interesting essay/lecture written by the late Gary Ouellet in 1996. He was the producer of the World's Greatest Magic TV Specials. It should be required reading for anyone ever thinking about performing on TV, be that local or national. http://www.leirpoll.com/appearing_on_tv.htm |

Magician's "lie" to the audiences all the time.
Ex: "This box is empty" "I have nothing in my hands" "Nothing up my sleeve" -John |

Magician's "lie" to the audiences all the time. well I'm agree with that...but if we do something with cut and edit thing..is that also a magic?...

Anyway using plants "excessively" is another issue... I don't mind stooging people out... but other magi in the community might complain. I don't mind magic in a round, underneath, upskirt, it doesn't matter what matters is PRODUCTION VALUE.
