I'm 13. Trust me, I am by far better. Not to belittle you, buy I wanted to see a your updated 1 coin routine which would've gotten you more points. I might just be better than a lot of people because magic is my THING, but whatever, the point is, dont enter the contest if you dont expect to get criticized.

It's kind of like: dont play airsoft if you dont want to get shot. (which is my other THING )

And agian, we're not aloud to give scores based on whether your our friends or not, but I think I can score how I want right, (following the points system) and seeing your performances, I dont think I'll have to or even want to give you benefit of the doubt for your performance.

And actually, I DID have one good thing to say, I thought your appearal was good. But trust me, boasting about how good you are? Thats childish, you sound five.

You have a lot of schoolwork?! OH MY!!! Thats odd...I'm in advanced classes...try that. And your doing extracurricular activities =O!!!! Lets see: school everyday, guitar classes tuesday's and sometimes thursdays, confirmation on mondays and tuesdays and sometimes sundays, football (american football) starts soon, so lets see how busy you are. coming up with excuses and whatnot. dabombdiggaty is even MORE busy then I am and he still finds ways to be really great. How about we start acting more our age Ollie?
By "we" I mean you.

Plus: OMG! Magician of the month?! Well I figure it would have to come around eventually, with there being 12 months in a year. Its okay that your voice is dead, and that your showmanship sucks, I'll still give you a fair score, dont worry

Also, how much of you are a help to our community, do you help other magicians? I'm seriously not trying to verbally kill you, but really, whens the last time you taught a magician in your area trick. Whats your thank you count that you've recieved?...a whopping 2...wow...

Willthong: Don't worry, I'll give him a fair score, just not the benefit of the doubt.

The production was pretty good but would've been cooler if you did a barehands Ace production typed thing one by one like Thunderbirds for style, but that was pretty nice.
And it doesn't matter if you're 13. I'm 13 as well and have been doing magic for 9 months, so quit making excuses.
And if you wanna hear nice things, then give a nice peformance. Do a trick that you're comfortable with doing in front of a live audience.

i m sick of this, guys SHUT UP, give the guy some positive advise, for a thirteen year old he is pretty darn good.. jeez - OP

Seriously, I don't mean to be rude but you're really not that good. We don't care about your other accomplishments, we care about what you show us. I think the only thing I liked was your muscle pass and your 4 card production. If you really think you're that good, by all means show us your award-winning performances.
Advice in all seriousness: Stay on camera, quit being so cocky, and work on your performance style with some originality and flare. Do another submission in front of a live audience because obviusly you filimng yourself doesn't make you look any better. If you don't want to, i encourage you to stick with the coin trick, cuz the whole Asher Twist what not was just boring. That's my input and instead of complaining, take this into consideration. It will definitely be to your benefit

Same, i'm not trying to be THAT offensive i'm just telling you that drkelemnts is right. So anyway, OP, keep it to yourself, I wont give false "good jobs!" out if they aren't needed. So I could say probably some of the only good things that magicollie has done is the production, which was okay, and the muscle pass which was also okay, but he didnt learn to one hand load, which is half of it.

In all honesty, I would be being nicer if he has perfected and practiced his one coin routine more and submitted that.

Its the sad truth magicollie.

I don't think age is really important, and as for experience I'm closing in on merely a year of learning magic on top of some very heavy University prep courses. Don't take stuff personally ollie, but you're very monotone/unsure in your patter when performing and your handling is a little awkward. I'm hoping most of this is just because you're doing the trick for a camera. Anyway take the criticisms and use them as guidelines on ways to improve. When I try and learn something, I get the method down and then work hardest on making everything look natural, and that's one of the things you need to work on, being casual. The easiest way to do this is practice until you can do it without a doubt blindfolded, haha. Hope to see some improvements. =]

[magicollie]

thanks octimus prime for defending me,cameraboirzu im no trying to make this into a competition between me and you,im may be one of the least expereince here but still.

exactly, well put, and I totally Agree.

It seems like this whole contest is being judged by 13 year olds. But age doesn't matter. The thing I really don't want is for this to become a shouting competition.

magicollie: All we're saying is that it needs more practise. You've got another entry to perfect your work. If you are young, it doesn't matter. Many of us are. But that does not mean that you should stop working hard on the basis of being young.

Cameraboirzu: I know it can be annoying to have people flash their credits at you and claim that they are the best, but that's their point of view and they should be able to have it. Arguing back isn't going to help. Try and be a peacekeeper.

Everybody else: Let's try and get back to the topic on hand, not whether anybody is doing advanced classes or is the best magician ever; we'll let the marks decide that.

[magicollie]

okay,thanks willthong,i will enter my one cooin routine again but i will perfect it and use everyones advice here,thanks.

they weren't really credits

lol but anyway, yeah we should get back on topic. And I'm glad to here your going to do that coin routine. Maybe if you used several coins it'd be even more interesting. but thats your call. Just do something unexpected.

[magicollie]

thanks cameraboirzu,sorry we got off on the wrong foot.the video should be up in a day or so.
