Edward,
First I must say I'm surprised we're not already acquainted online. Your talent and skill is clearly excellent, so kudos. The music fit the video perfectly as well. I will say that I would have liked to see more stage performances and less magic done alone directly to the camera. I know this has been a trend in magicians' promo reels lately, and I can't speak to how well it works or doesn't. But it always strikes me as very unusual. In my opinion, you should be selling the potential client on the show, not on your ability to stage a trick for the camera. Having said that I'm sure plenty will disagree and if it works for you, then gopher it! On that note - the magic done direct to the camera was well staged with nice backgrounds and you certainly came off as very likeable. I enjoyed it. Brian |

Hi Brian
Thank you very much. Yes I agree, but think there is room for a combination of both as long as the magic done for the camera can be performed live, as everything in the showreel can Thanks again for your comments! Edward |

Nicely done, would like to see more stage performance if I was a potential booker.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

-- What I got from the video related to the message:
• You're very young. • You went to vegas. • You can do tricks whith cards and coins ("same as any magician"). • You went to hollywood. • You presented yourself for an unknown audience of more-less 20 people in some unknown place. • Some very cool shadow thing. • You were in vegas. • You like to show yourself in front of the camera. • Coin Roll. • You were in hollywood. • Fanning. • You clients are satisfied with your job. -- Related to the editing (construction of the video + post-production): • Hire a professional. . . It's quite hard to make a professional commerial video, Edward! Hope my comment has helped ya. Abs! |
