Just because they the servers (or anyone really) watches from the side and catches a flash while I do the cups and balls. In my opinion they will still admire the magicians skill for pulling it off - night after night and table after table for the guests in the restaurant. And what skill do they admire as they (the server) load a card under something for the magician? Quote:

Well fine - you do things your way and I will do them my way and we won't talk magic again.

To capture the essence of live performance is almost impossible. They get VERY close to capturing the feeling in that room that Doc created. Brilliant is an under statement. No explinations. But an amazing performance DVD. I bet Doc can sell you one.

In my experience server turn over is very high in most restaurants. Even if they figure out every trick you do I does not matter. The staff will be different after a few months. I have also found that the ones that become wise to our methods usually do not try to expose the secrets especially to the guests. Most will forget after time anyway. Many people remember the masked magician but could not tell one trick he revealed.

How come no one seems to want to answer these questions - Now my question is could it damage the rep of a magician if they used servers to load stuff for them in a non magic restaurant? What would an owner, other servers or the lay audience think of this? Because I feel that word would get around to the other servers and other employees of the restaurant.. I suppose they will continue to pick things apart and take it out of context instead of having a conversation.

They would know magic isn't real. Not much damage there. They would know they are contributing to the experience of the guest. Again not much damage. They would know it is about the guest and not about a self important performer.
Yelp indeed it would get around. How does it damage a repartition if that happens. Nobody says do it on every effect.

I know some guys in high end places. They are the one that would go up to the table in the middle of my act with a twenty and say, "This is from the other table they really enjoyed your show". The bottom line is I don't think that any of the staff will try to ruin the customers' experience because they figured out the tricks. The more enjoyment they get the more money overall for everyone in the restaurant.

So in my opinion I would call that “blowing it”. My point - the guests were mystified and entertained and from the owners point of view I was doing my job.

No one suggested it would be for every table or that a server would be following the magician around waiting for his cue. I use a staff member as a stooge in two routines. The last time I performed either one of those routines was about 2 years ago. Glenn, to answer your question. The staff (that I know) has never thought less of me because I've used them in a trick. They would sometimes ask me (excitedly) if WE were going to do the trick tonight. It's all in fun. They appreciate that I trust them enough to have them help me. They've told me this. And again it is used very sparingly. patrick |

Hey Doc!!
My daughter told me the other day, "Doc is coming to the Castle soon". She's looking forward to seeing your show again! And thanks, again, for treating her so well. Hmmm, next on the agenda? I could use a few good tips for cooking salmon. patrick |

I like to sauté salmon in olive oil with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders and New Mexico chile powder. Saute one side until browned, turn over to other side and turn off the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the salmon and it will never be dry.
Another good way is to bake it with lemon juice, butter, dill, salt and pepper. I don't much care for it poached...
