Performance anxiety is the fear of exposing yourself and performing in front of an audience. The solution many entertainers have found is to go out and throw yourself into the face of the bull. This "solution" creates the infamous paradox: not being able to perform because of fear, yet the only way to terminate this fear is to perform.

Adam Wilber also produced the best selling trick pyro and we're really excited to have him in the show. Wilber was six years old when he stole a prop from a friend for a trick. He mastered that trick, fooled his dad and never looked back. Adam studied education in college and thought he was going to become a PE teacher. He started supplementing his income as a walk-around magician but it took another decade before he managed to make a living at it. The post Behind the Scenes at Ellusionist with Adam Wilber appeared first on Discourse in Magic.
Lloyd Barnes grandfather became a travelling magician shortly after the war. He developed many tricks over the years and passed those onto Lloyd. His focus was much more on sport as a teenager – especially boxing and gymnastics. His university career was less than successful – he was thrown out in his final year. But that ignited his interest in magic and soon he was selling tricks and illusions that he developed himself. He was broke and homeless for a time and slept on many friends and families couches over the next few years. Lloyd now works with Ellusionist. He scouts tricks from other performers and from submissions to the company. He helps to make them more practical and performable. When you send a trick to the company, he's the guy that reads the email. The other part of his job is to shoot and edit the trailers for the new effects. Along with his own performing career that keeps him incredibly busy. The post Visual Magic and Ellusionist Secrets with Lloyd Barnes appeared first on Discourse in Magic.

Lloyd Barnes joins Phil and Ian in talking all things Ellusionist, visual magic and the future of magic and technology. The recording starts with a lot of laughter as Phil was having problems setting up the system and Lloyd’s natural humour meant we were in fits before it began.This is also where we got the title from! Once the recording gets going we have a fascinating look behind the scenes of what it is like to work for Ellusionist and travel the world creating and organising the latest in magic. Although Lloyd describes himself as ‘just someone who does colour changes’ he is actually working his arse off globally making magic happen and he gives a look behind the screen as to what this life is like. Lloyd also talks about shipping products from Ellusionist and what the E team have done to fix this, as well as talking about the Netflix of magic that they have created.We hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it, huge thanks to Lloyd – I don’t think we’ve laughed and joked as much on a podcast before!

The History Of Emperor Aurelian by Ellusionist.com Podcast with your host Luke Dancy
Passionate magician, fantastic human, and COO for Ellusionist — the 'The World's First Online Magic Retailer' — it wasn't abnormal for Adam Wilber to conceive of something as magnificent as a wrist mounted, fully concealable flame thrower. Making it's way to Reddit organically, it generated sales far beyond what they ever expected. A year later, while launching the second (even more concealable) version their ignorance got the better of them and they were banned from /r/gadgets for inadvertently gaming the system by campaigning to their email list for votes. The story of the Pyro is one of success on accident, failure on purpose, and (finally) success on purpose.
