Two quick shows from Summerfest on the Barefoot Landing Boardwalk.

In this one here, a girl wanted her friend to show me a card trick so I said let me show you mine first . what amazes me about this clip is the number of people watching me show this one person a magic trick . being as how I'm now partially blind I wasn't aware of how many people were actually watching me at the time.

A full-length formally structured performance in front of an audience where the audience is addressed and experiences the performance as a whole. Presented to usually a paying or invited audience there for the purpose of being entertained.

This is far different from a casual, brief presentation or demonstration for unsuspecting or ambushed people not intending or expecting to be entertained.

Also any any skilled performer should know, simply stringing several tricks together is also not a show. There is no premise, theater, foundation or many other theatrical elements as typically found in a "show."

You may be quite good at what you do but it's quite improper and misleading to claim them as shows, as in "I perform 20 shows a day."

Typically a standardly accepted show (not in magician's world) as in theater, plays, movies, concerts, stage, musical, etc. is typically between 45 minutes (at very minimum) to more like 60, 75 or 90 minutes, sometimes more, usually with production.

Next time I return to the Palace Theater in Myrtle Beach, I will happily invite you to my "show."

So the only people that should be able to witness my magic are people that can afford to "pay" for a ticket?? God Forbid - that is obscene!!

It is to my understanding that vaudeville shows lasted a typical seven minutes - are you saying these performers don't qualify as "showmen"?? At Mark Wilson's lecture he talked of doing a short show repeatedly over and over and over again at the World's Fair . there is no time limit on a "show" - the high horse you ride is a child's sized broomstick with a pink pony head attached to one end.

Here is footage from last night, Heather is my camera girl and she has a bachelors degree in broadcasting . she will be filming me all summer and even I don't know what she will end up doing with the footage - going to be an exciting summer!

Sorry but verything you said or referred to is incorrect.

I never said "So the only people that should be able to witness my magic are people that can afford to "pay" for a ticket?? God Forbid - that is obscene!!" That may be what you understood it as but not at all what I said.

Also you are incorrect about Vaudeville shows. They were full-lengths shows consisting of multiple short "acts," "demonstrations" or "performances." Together they combined to create a "show."

Yes, when doing fairs and festivals it is possible to do "shows" usually on the grandstand or mainstage or in a feature stage or tent, but there are also shorter repeated performances and demonstrations which is likely what Mark was referencing. (Again, a magic reference)

I get calls every day at my agencies to book shows and not once in 40 years have any of them ever even thought of or considered such things you are describing as a "show."

As I said only in certain segments of the magic community is this misconception even considered or used. If someone called you up (well maybe not you, lol) and said "lets go see a show tonight" they are not thinking of or referring to what you demonstrated in your videos. They are referring to some type of a full-length entertainment event.

Glad to educate you, but sorry you are seem to have difficulty understanding or interpreting what I am saying.

I don't see a problem with calling street shows shows. He has been there a long time and on the boardwalk that is what is expected from him.

No it is not the same as a theatrical presentation of a show. It doesn't matter as it is not what is being claimed, or at least shouldn't be.

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching the cups and balls. Looks like the final lime load got a good reaction!

As for as semantics are concerned, I agree that these are short street performances and not "shows"

The official dictionary definition of "show" : To cause or allow to be seen.

What you guys are referring to in a theater is more of a "play" or "production". Yes, what I am doing is not the same as what you are doing - but I assure you I am the one using the correct word. My "As Seen On TV: The JoeJoe Magic Show" is a forty minute production divided into three acts that I have been doing locally for years now including a four month run in my own close-up theater I setup at the mall last season and was featured on the cover of the local rag.

This project is titled "Boardwalk Magic" . Heather has been learning my routines and now knows where to focus the camera when and this great footage from last night where you really see the pencil melting through the bill:

And here is me going old school and leaving the comfort of the table to roaming magic like I did on the boardwalk in Ocean City twenty some years ago, about a decade before anyone knew who David Blaine was:

If your definition of show is "to be seen," then yes you're a putting on a show. By that definition, UFO's have been putting on shows in California for years

"you wanna see a trick kid . I'll SHOW you a MAGIC trick" . show magic . magic show . this is basic English, ya'all need to go back and get your GEDs.

Here is a great show from last night featuring some great interaction with a little girl who thought my handkerchief trick was "gross" . worth watching to the end to catch the cups-n-balls reset.

You may be quite good at what you do but it's quite improper and misleading to claim them as shows, as in "I perform 20 shows a day."

The reaction of the audience when witnessing stunning illusions adds to the overall excitement and thrill of magic shows. Children, in particular, are awestruck by the tricks and often find themselves questioning the laws of physics. With advancements in technology and stagecraft, magic shows have evolved to incorporate various visual and audio effects. This adds a new dimension to the performance, enhancing the overall experience for the audience. From holographic projections to levitating objects, these modern innovations help create an even more mesmerizing atmosphere during magic shows. Another aspect that sets magic entertainment apart is its ability to engage and involve the audience. Magicians often invite volunteers from the audience to participate in their tricks, further enhancing the interaction between the performer and spectators. This active involvement of the audience creates a sense of wonder and makes the experience more personal for those attending the show. Magic entertainment is not limited to a specific type of venue. From theaters and casinos to private parties and corporate events, magic shows can be tailored to suit any occasion. Magicians adapt their performance to the size of the audience and the nature of the event to create a memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression. In conclusion, magic entertainment continues to be a popular and awe-inspiring form of live performance. From the traditional card tricks to mind-bending illusions, magic shows offer a unique blend of mystery and excitement. The ability to create illusions, engage the audience, and adapt to different venues make magic shows a versatile and enchanting form of entertainment. Whether one is experiencing a magic show for the first time or is a long-time fan, the thrill and sense of wonder that magic entertainment brings is something that will never fade away..
