theory11 roundtable discussion : b.Smith + Dan White

[j.bayme]

Tonight is Saturday, and it's been a crazy week. Over the past week we've brought you guys along for the ride behind the scenes of the DB special to the front lines. And we got to meet many of you at the site - it was amazing.

Tonight's event is a chance to get into the action with a roundtable discussion with bSmith, Dan White, and I. Ask any question you wish - everything is fair game, and we will select some of the best questions to be answered live in a podcast posted tonight at 11:00pm EST.

All questions must be submitted on or before 10:00pm EST. One random member whose question is asked during the podcast will receive bSmith's new 1-on-1 release, the Polaroid Change, on the house. Ask away, and look forward to having a great discussion tonight.

UPDATE : Podcast has been posted. Listen to it now here. Direct link to MP3.

Question to both.

How did you meet David Blaine?
Who inspired you to begin magic?
Why did you choose David over angel?

To Dan white

Are you part Asian?

[copperfield 14]

Wait quick question. Only one member will win the prize or all the people who got chosen?

[Ben Long]

1. What inspires you to create a trick? Do you just want to achieve something original or do you want to get a specific effect, or do you take already-existing ideas and try to develop them more?

2. How do you feel about your creations being used by other magicians? Obviously you release them for other people to use them, but how do you feel when other people perform them?

On that same note, How do you (Dan White) feel about seeing David Blaine perform something you created on national TV?

3. What is some advice you can give to magicians who are looking to enhance effects they already know, presentation-wise? What can one do in his or her presentation to make a trick more powerful?
