- 2:15Thomas Conger, The Battle Jam. That's a cool name.
- 2:19Daniel Farmery. I wonder if he's a farmer. That's kind of cool.
- 2:22We have Jason Fergus. We have Caden H.
- 2:25We have M. Boo. That sounds like a street name to me.
- 2:29We have our good friend, The Chris Magician. We have my old friend, Gary Davis.
- 2:34We'll catch up with you soon in Sydney if you're around, Gary. So I'll hit you up.
- 2:39Josh Mundy. Geez, there's an abundance of here. It's going to take forever.
- 2:42Like there's a whole bunch here. And all you folks are here to see our guest today.
- 2:47But before we do, we do love it when you guys send through your speak pipes.
- 2:52Now you can do those. You can obviously send those through the website.
- 2:54We have any questions and so forth. And sometimes we have spitball sessions and whatever else.
- 2:58Else but we have one sent in right josh that's right you can go to the magic
- 3:04guy show.com leave us a speak pipe there or speakpipe.com forward slash the
- 3:09magic guys i'm pretty sure sure i remember which one this speak pipe is but
- 3:13i'm also not sure so we're going to play it now,
- 3:17let's see what is going on in the zeitgeist of the speak pipes hey guys it's
- 3:22just jimmy I wanted to ask you an ethical question.
- 3:26I technically have been doing magic since high school and now I turn 45 in a couple of days.
- 3:35Is it fine if I say that I've been a magician for 20 years, even though I've
- 3:40just really started honing in my skills in the last five with the help of Doug and you guys?
- 3:47And also, am I able to say that I'm a world traveling magician because Because
- 3:51I've done magic in the Philippines, in Korea, in India, Thailand,
- 3:57Cambodia, Mexico, Singapore. There's a couple others.
- 4:02Because I've always done magic for my whole life.
- 4:05But I don't know. I feel like it's kind of a questionable thing. And I don't want to like.
- 4:10But also, I mean, yeah, I need to sell my business, right? I don't know.
- 4:15Talk amongst yourself. Thanks, guys.
- 4:17Jimmy, great question. So let's touch upon a couple of things here.
- 4:21He's been doing it professionally or semi-professionally for the past five years is what I picked up.
- 4:26But he's been doing it ultimately for 20 years in the making sort of thing.
- 4:32And more importantly, happy birthday
- 4:34in a couple of weeks when you do turn 45. So power to you, friend.
- 4:37This is interesting. This is interesting. And firstly, I want to commend you
- 4:40on your ethics. A lot of folks don't have that. But here.
- 4:45That's the ethics. Yeah, probably the ethics.
- 4:49Here's what here's another way to word it now josh you're welcome to correct
- 4:55me about let me express my thoughts while they're clear in my head and i just
- 4:57think that you could say with 20 years of experience,
- 5:01I think that's a nice way to put it. So you can say you've had X amount of years of experience.
- 5:05A lot of people who are doing duo acts at a very young age will say with a combined
- 5:1120 years of experience, but they've only been doing 10 years of it.
- 5:17You know what I mean? So there's little things like that you can say.
- 5:20There's nothing dishonest about that either. But keeping in mind that what we
- 5:24do is dishonest, but we're honest in doing so.
- 5:28You know what I mean? We're not genuinely making coins vanish.
- 5:30We're just making it appear as if coins manage. So we're very honest in that sense.
- 5:34At least some ethics are in that place. So for example, ethically,
- 5:39we don't believe we have true magic powers.
- 5:42And if you're anything like the Australian Institute of Magic,
- 5:45if you do believe that, you can't kind of be in the club. So that's literal
- 5:50value. You tell your thoughts.
- 5:51That's your 10 pieces arriving. thriving.
- 5:55So I, I think personally, it's great that you're, you're questioning that.
- 6:01And it's something that magicians, we tend to embellish sometimes like we're
- 6:06award winning, we're the best ranked magician in our country.
- 6:10You know, there's quite a few handles on Instagram that all say the same thing,
- 6:15like, you know, America's best magician or Australia's best magician.
- 6:19And so at the end of the day it
- 6:22really doesn't equate to anything like you can
- 6:25say that or you cannot say that and you're probably going to get the
- 6:28same amount of work because it's really based on if you're doing
- 6:31a good job in shows and clients are talking about you and and recommending you
- 6:35and so it definitely doesn't hurt like you could literally say you won the magic
- 6:42olympics in your city if you you shouldn't ethically but if you did you could
- 6:47say that and you're probably going going to get the same amount of work.
- 6:49So it's not really going to change anything, but it's just you need to feel
- 6:52comfortable with what you're saying. So I agree with Nick.
- 6:5520 years of experience is great, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really
- 6:59change a lot business-wise for you. It's not going to,
- 7:04Nick, we got a note. What turned up? A new segment. What was at the door?
- 7:10I hope it's naked pictures. I hope they're naked. No, I'm the jelly check.
- 7:16Oh, it's a battery for my Milwaukee. Okay. Good stuff. Power drill. Power drill battery.
- 7:23So, Jimmy, thank you for sending that in. Please, guys, send more in.
- 7:28I think we enjoy kind of playing one to start the episode off.
- 7:31It starts the good vibes. But, alas, we have a wonderful guest to bring on.
- 7:37This guy I've been seeing.
- 7:40He comes up in my feed on social media quite a lot.
- 7:44I'm like, who is this young man with a full head of hair doing this knuckle-busting
- 7:48magic, but he's also busking?
- 7:51And then I've seen my friends from Australia, Jason Maher and Mika Harris,
- 7:55venturing over to Edinburgh.
- 7:57And this guy's there. And so he's sort of getting in amongst the magic,
- 8:02the magic sphere, the magic world.
- 8:04And I thought, you know, there's only one place to go from there and that is the magic guys podcast.
- 8:10So he's officially made it, but it's such a pleasure to have him on ladies and
- 8:15gentlemen, please welcome Samuel Osborne.
- 8:20Music.
- 8:31Let's go on.
- 8:39Samuel Oles. Thank you so much for being here. Please tell our friends,
- 8:44who are you and what do you do?
- 8:46I'm Samuel, a magician from the UK. I'm a buster and I'm 18.
- 8:52So it means I've got about three years of experience under my belt.
- 8:55But I still get them. so that's me
- 8:59wow 18 oh my god man
- 9:02what i would give to have been already professionally working
- 9:05at 18 bloody hell that's exceptional man so i mean tell us okay so obviously
- 9:12this wasn't too long ago so tell us how did it begin let's go from the beginning
- 9:15chad what was it that'll be me being curious i bought during lockdown so i watched
- 9:22youtube and i learned how to vanish a
- 9:25coin i went down the rabbit hole that was
- 9:28us about it yeah found doug he
- 9:31mentored me up and then said go to the
- 9:34street go forth and uh i bought a table within what within three years you went
- 9:40to street first year i started doing street do you understand the amount of
- 9:46bravery it takes to go straight into a street show i mean this would be clear
- 9:50one year have you done Any gigs prior,
- 9:54other than performances, not a single gig.
- 9:59So pure, like school helped me. I just, I'm sure my classmates loved me,
- 10:04but I just started doing stuff.
- 10:06I ran the advice of, if you take the opportunity to perform, perform.
- 10:10And I just did that. And then I, yeah, bought a table, went to the street,
- 10:15bused my local town. Yeah.
- 10:18Rest is history. Bloody hell. Take note of that, fellow magicians. Just take action.
- 10:24Just start doing it. and you know success
- 10:27is on the other side of you know being nervous
- 10:30to to try something bracing those fears right
- 10:33like i mean so many people are so scared to fail you
- 10:37obviously just went straight into it with total disregard
- 10:40that there could be a total failure like
- 10:43share how you were so brave just
- 10:46go out there don't be scared to look like a
- 10:49moron yell a bit you'll get
- 10:52destroyed with like not every day is going to play in
- 10:55your favor but if you do it enough it's not
- 10:58too much of an issue so just that's great
- 11:01and what so what is what does your regime look like at the moment are you going
- 11:06out on saturday sunday what when you basically every opportunity i get now i'm
- 11:11shooting for five days a week yeah so that's weekends are good but i don't find the weekdays.
- 11:21They're a little harder but if you play it small uh you
- 11:24can do it rain is a little bit of
- 11:27an issue but i'll deal with that later this month no yeah i was just thinking
- 11:31so there's a few things in between i'm curious about buddy so you were doing
- 11:35this during school so have you finished your education i have indeed yes i wrapped
- 11:40up levels for being the uk figured uni wasn't for me didn't,
- 11:47wasn't right yeah kind of last minute i just went you know what i can take this full time,
- 11:53just did it so wonderful amazing so and so here's the thing right for you to
- 12:00be able to sustain yourself on the streets making a few dollars there's obviously
- 12:03a lot of things you learned along the way let's explore what the first couple
- 12:08of shows would have been like for yourself okay Okay, so if you're anything like me,
- 12:12I know I am, that first show you did,
- 12:15you kind of failed to hat the show and things like that. Yeah.
- 12:19What are the sort of things that you're like, if you're going to tell people,
- 12:23I'm going to go do my first street show, you tell them to forgive themselves.
- 12:26Like, you're going to make this mistake, this mistake and this mistake. What do you think?
- 12:32First, you're going to be really nervous. It's always the case.
- 12:36It also happens not just in your first show, but your first show after a while.
- 12:39Like if you've taken a month off or something, you're going to get the same nerves.
- 12:44I remember I sat at a coffee shop before I went out for this. I was shaking.
- 12:49It was just the prospect of just turning up and yelling on the street.
- 12:53It's a weird thing, right?
- 12:56You're just going to do it just bring the material
- 12:59that you know who cares if it's right for the street who cares what they say
- 13:02it doesn't matter people say do cups and balls do all this it can be a card
- 13:10trick it can be a coin trick it can be a balloon swallow just do something,
- 13:17it could be 10 tricks in a row it doesn't matter,
- 13:21forget hatting an audience for a bit you don't need it But the important thing
- 13:26is you're getting the reps in and do three shows, go get food,
- 13:31relax, call it a day. You don't need to do too much.
- 13:34Just bit by bit and you'll get there.
- 13:37Holy crap. You sound like you've had 20 years of experience.
- 13:42Yeah, you sound like a veteran.
- 13:4420 years of experience and three years of kind of doing it professionally.
- 13:48So how long have you been a time traveler? Because that is what a real time
- 13:52traveler would do. they get all this experience and then go back to when they
- 13:55were 18 and pretend like i just started.
- 14:00Well okay let me ask you this okay so when you do you do walk by or do you perform
- 14:06at the pitch is my first question so i do it's a it's kind of a circle show
- 14:11okay so do you go do you go to the pitch for that like do you have to are you
- 14:17amongst other buskers and so forth Yes.
- 14:19So we have here in the UK, we have the Magic Corner in Covent Garden.
- 14:25It's pretty much, well, it's the oldest, potentially most famous magic pitch, at least in the UK.
- 14:33It's a good view of us to perform there.
- 14:36And it's the same pitch if you've watched Jason's stuff or Mika's stuff.
- 14:40That's where they've been.
- 14:42They travel and we all fall together. So it's kind of a rotation.
- 14:47I've seen it and it's a beautiful place to be performing as well.
- 14:50Like aesthetically, it's gorgeous.
- 14:51You know, like the way the shops are all sort of surround. There's that staircase
- 14:54that goes down and so forth.
- 14:56What I think that a lot of people who might be listening to this and aspiring
- 15:00to be much like yourself,
- 15:02what advice could you give them with
- 15:04regards to approaching the pitch like think about
- 15:07this is the first time you're rocking up to a show and you go hi there i'm
- 15:10samuel i'm gonna do a show i've got some cube on my i'm almost a man someday
- 15:17you'll be a real boy like there is etiquette to getting to these places and
- 15:23meeting these people yeah please like i don't know if it's It's the same as
- 15:28what's here in Australia,
- 15:29but maybe you should share what it's like for anybody looking to approach Covent Garden.
- 15:33Could you please share what that etiquette is supposed to be like?
- 15:36By all means. Yeah. I mean, so for me, I got very lucky.
- 15:43It was kind of a chance thing because I didn't know Covent Garden was a place.
- 15:48I knew it was a place, but I didn't know how to picture it. I didn't know any
- 15:51of that. It was my dad recently.
- 15:53Actually, he seemed to remember when I was a kid, there was a magician here.
- 15:56Here, I'll take you down and we'll see if there's someone. And there was someone.
- 15:59And it was pure luck that I could recognize them from the YouTube video I'd watched that morning.
- 16:06His name is Sergey Parol. He's amazing.
- 16:09And after his show, I watched it. It was a brilliant show, still one of the
- 16:12best street shows I've ever seen.
- 16:14And I spoke to him afterwards. Just to have a chat.
- 16:17I just asked, how do you turn up here? What's going on? And he just asked.
- 16:24And he just said, yeah, turn up. Just bring your stuff one day,
- 16:27just rock out, do a show, doesn't matter if it's a total.
- 16:32So for, for cover garden itself, we're kind of free to do that.
- 16:36If you, if you ask, not from stopping you doing it.
- 16:41So if you're in the UK swing by say hi to me, I'll be there.
- 16:45Yeah. And you can just hop on and do a show.
- 16:47That's pretty much it. Just be nice. Yeah. Be a nice person.
- 16:52I think that's a good style for anything actually do that.
- 16:56Yeah. Yeah. Holy moly. And then also, Jason Maher and Mika Harris,
- 17:01fellow friends of the pod, former, you know, co-beginner of the podcast.
- 17:08What was it like seeing, when you saw them come and busk in Edinburgh,
- 17:12was it a noticeable difference between how, like, buskers might approach things
- 17:17over there and then seeing these guys come in?
- 17:19Like, was there any difference of busking style that you particularly saw? Yes.
- 17:25It's a subtle thing. so I don't have too much experience with it because of
- 17:29course I've only bussed in the UK rather than coming globally but they spoke
- 17:33about it like when Jason first arrived because he came here in 2023 as well,
- 17:38which he gave us a potluck thing like what is that Jason no what.
- 17:43Yeah he spoke about it because he went out did his kind of same show he did
- 17:48in Australia you can use a bit more edgy humour,
- 17:52you can swear a bit if you
- 17:55wanted to in the uk no don't do
- 17:58that we don't like it here interesting so
- 18:03he found he had to change his show like kind
- 18:06of that fit and play it kind
- 18:09of more family friendly in that regard so there's bits like that crowd building
- 18:14i think it's a little bit different a more like a natural build is nicer than
- 18:18force your way in but it depends on the performer there's a bit of the culture
- 18:24thing and then a bit of before the stuff that comes together.
- 18:27Yeah. And the other thing that people have noted about you, Sam,
- 18:31is that you have some influences in magic, one of them being Danny Diotis and
- 18:37if anyone who knows that man's work,
- 18:40it's quite intricate and like difficult magic.
- 18:44This is something you're doing on the street? Yes.
- 18:47Yeah. It's, it's an interesting idea saying it's difficult magic because it's
- 18:53completely different to like knuckle busting sleight of hand,
- 18:57like knuckle busting sleight of hand.
- 18:58Like if you're doing intricate coin magic or palms or all that sort of stuff
- 19:02without getting too magicianic, that can be really tough to do on the street.
- 19:06Unless you're really like damn good at what you do.
- 19:09With the day of tea stuff when you're
- 19:13first doing it's not going to work at all but i've
- 19:16been working on his stuff for probably about a year and a half now pretty much
- 19:20solely his stuff i've bought all of his borrowed debt miracles if you're a magician
- 19:25get it all of his work is for us act his that's what got me into his stuff that
- 19:31fooled the hell out of me when i first saw it it was like What's going on?
- 19:35None of it made any sense.
- 19:36So I just grinded working on that stuff and performed constantly.
- 19:42Things like his forcing, that's the main thing I use on the street. And it's now natural.
- 19:50So it's not, I don't consider it me doing difficult stuff because it's completely natural.
- 19:56It's psychology-based rather than sleight of hand-based.
- 20:00It's all in your attitude. And if you're relaxed doing it, It just happens. I don't know how.
- 20:09That's also the same advice with trying to pick up women as well.
- 20:15Yeah, well, I haven't found out how it works. So that's that much.
- 20:19If you're just natural, it'll happen.
- 20:25So with regards to building your show, buddy, I mean, like, having material
- 20:28is one thing. And Danny's stuff is fantastic in every capacity, no doubt.
- 20:32What advice do you have for folks who are starting up and trying to build their show?
- 20:37Because ordinarily, you've got sort of like a way to get people to stop,
- 20:42your crowd builder, and then your big finish, and your hats.
- 20:46What advice do you have in that realm? Like, what's your insist of?
- 20:51Yeah, so you've nailed the core components of a show. You need to essentially
- 20:55boils down to get people to stop, stay and pay. That's, that is busking. That is it.
- 21:02The stopping bit. It's the hardest bit of the show. Maybe second hardest. I get to that.
- 21:09It's always the bit that hurts to do. And there's loads of different ways of doing it.
- 21:14You can do a kind of trick build, you know, promise you could do music. You can do whatever.
- 21:20So for me, I open on the linking rings.
- 21:24It's dead simple. It's a classic. It's nothing super special.
- 21:28I even open saying, you've probably seen this on TV, but you've never seen it
- 21:33in person. So that's why it's cool.
- 21:35That's a great trick, by the way, because it's good. It's noisy.
- 21:38There's a lot of shiny things. You can get a lot of chink noise and generate some noise.
- 21:44That's the reason I do it. It's loud.
- 21:47Personally, I use the small rings. I use little small ones that fit in my pocket.
- 21:51That's a personal preference.
- 21:53Arguably bigger rings make more noise and you can play bigger but that's preference
- 21:58so it's noisy that's always a
- 22:01good start you can make noise that's good that's why people open on music,
- 22:04i know one of the guys i perform with opens on we will rock you every show i
- 22:09don't know how he's not yet to be honest but it works so something noisy something
- 22:16visual always good alternatively play it small.
- 22:20Jason Marho, for instance, he'll open on little coin work or ring,
- 22:24the ring trick or something like a card trick, masterful.
- 22:27You want to basically get your core audience. You want to get someone to stop.
- 22:32Once one person stops, everyone stops.
- 22:34It's just, again, that first person. That's what matters. It's her and it's ours.
- 22:39Once you've got that first few people, give them something good, something lengthy.
- 22:45It's like your build. So for me, I use the coin matrix.
- 22:50Cassius.com. I saw his matrix and I ran with it. That thing is brilliant.
- 22:56No one else does it on the street. I've only seen Doug and I do it.
- 22:59I don't know why I know. It's good. It's really good.
- 23:03That's what I use. It's a lengthy routine. It's visual.
- 23:06You can talk about it. You can do stupid bits where you say,
- 23:10oh, the coin's getting smaller. You just walk backwards. Not a trick. It's a joke.
- 23:15And yeah, then you want your finale. finale, and you want your finale to be
- 23:18the most impressive, or at least perceived most impressive thing in your show.
- 23:24It doesn't need to necessarily be the biggest, but it needs to feel the biggest.
- 23:29So for me, I do a cards across.
- 23:32It's nothing massive. It's a very, it's a simple, bare bones card trick, but you play it big.
- 23:40I'm doing 10 minutes of this, of like, do you see the invisible card?
- 23:46No, it's kind of a point, but that sort of stuff, you just toy with it, play with them.
- 23:52And then you give them the big hit.
- 23:55Something a kicker is always good. I am playing around with hacker,
- 24:00which I won't get into because it's magic.
- 24:04But if you know it, it's good. I'm toying around with that at the end of the
- 24:07show. It's new though. So it's not perfect yet. Yeah.
- 24:11And the final key to the show is the hat pitch.
- 24:17You mentioned it. This thing is what gets you paid.
- 24:20If you do the whole show and you don't mention money, turns out no one's going to pay.
- 24:26So it's the tough bit to get right. It's arguably the hardest bit of the show.
- 24:31And it's taken me a long time to even have the guts to ask because it feels that bit wrong.
- 24:41Like when you're saying like, hey, you turned up for free. Now it's time for you to pay me.
- 24:47No one expects that instantly. There's always that underlying expectation,
- 24:52but you still, you're going to ask.
- 24:54And sometimes you have to ask for more than most people expect.
- 25:00That's probably different for all around the world, different cultures,
- 25:03different pricing, all that sort of stuff. But that's, it's tough.
- 25:08So, my advice there, copy someone else for a bit, it's kind of what I did.
- 25:12That can kind of go for the whole show if you wanted to.
- 25:16Just kind of run with, learn from something, take something and use it.
- 25:21I did that with Jason Shudder for a bit, which I only realized until he turned up.
- 25:32But yeah, you can kind of learn how to do it from other people and then put your own twist on it.
- 25:40Well, let me ask you this regarding your hat line. Okay. So there's a couple
- 25:43of ways you can go about it, most typically. I'm sure there's many ways,
- 25:46but here's one or two ways.
- 25:48Some folks will finish their show, then do their hat line. So show's over.
- 25:54Thank you very much. Oh, great. We'll leave.
- 25:56And then show's over, but before you go, can I have some money?
- 26:01That's not how the hat line goes, but you know what I mean. You can do it that way.
- 26:05Or you can say the big
- 26:08like just before the big finish just before the big finish you then do your
- 26:13hat line then finish your show and say thank you very much drop the hat and
- 26:18then just wait that's the two most common ways which do you prefer and why i
- 26:25will always choose the latter better.
- 26:27Saying it before you end the show is key.
- 26:31I've also found that the more you mention it during the show, the better it works.
- 26:38So I have one extra line, which is actually well earlier in the show,
- 26:43at around the beginning of the finale, which sounds late, but it's not.
- 26:51It's kind of just past the midpoint.
- 26:54And that's where I say, round Round of applause if you think I can do it.
- 26:57Round of applause if you don't think I can do it.
- 26:59Round of applause, grab the hat, if you're going to give me lots of money at the end of the show.
- 27:05Now, when I get a clap, it might not. It's kind of a classic line,
- 27:10but it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you've mentioned it.
- 27:12Now people kind of know, right, he's going to ask at the end.
- 27:17Then, for me, right before I do the count of the cards, so this is like the
- 27:22cards of travel, I've done my job, Here is, in theory, seven cards.
- 27:27Here is, in theory, thirteen.
- 27:30And then you turn and go, but before we check, I'll say one last thing.
- 27:36You guys have been a fabulous audience. You do the hat pitch.
- 27:39So then the end, it's just, guys, you guys know what to do.
- 27:44The hat is here. It's the exit to the show. Come forward. Support the R. Yeah, the R.
- 27:49That and that one. And I think that's the best way.
- 27:53That's it. Yeah. And, you know, with your charming persona and accent,
- 27:57obviously, I can just see it. and also useful youthfulness as well.
- 28:02I do think that is something people pay more for is seeing the youth,
- 28:08you know, getting out there to build their career.
- 28:12So you use that as long as you can, son.
- 28:15But was there a point, because I know, like, I love busking.
- 28:20Like I love going out and doing street magic. I love the rawness and no one
- 28:25knowing who I am and just trying stuff.
- 28:27And, but busking was never made for me. Like Jason and I were,
- 28:32we met at the same point in our careers and we just went different directions
- 28:37because he just, you know, needs to work on his own time.
- 28:41Not when a gig is wanting him to start, he needs to do his own thing.
- 28:45And I don't have the voice and bravado to go out and command a street to get
- 28:52an audience like he does us so well. So we sort of went different directions, but watching it.
- 28:58I would see Jason tinker and Jason did the same thing you're doing,
- 29:01by the way, the way that you're saying you use some of his show,
- 29:03he was mentored by James Hessler, which in the beginning,
- 29:07like I would watch James's show and then would watch Jason's show and it'd be
- 29:12like, oh, you're doing his show.
- 29:14But it's, I understand it's the way that that's the life cycle of how you become a busker.
- 29:19Now Jason's show is much different, but like you're doing, you're on the right.
- 29:24That's exactly what you meant to be doing.
- 29:26Was there a point, because I know with busking, like there's such a range of
- 29:30how well people can do within busking.
- 29:32And I know it's kind of like a secret thing where you don't actually say how
- 29:36much a busker makes, unless you're Jason and you make vlogs about it very specifically.
- 29:40But I wonder, was there ever a point where you tweaked something?
- 29:44Maybe it's a hat line or it's something that quite dramatically changed what
- 29:51people would pay at the end of a show? Yeah.
- 29:54There's a small thing. It's a weird phenomenon I've found with busking,
- 30:01is that there's kind of barriers that you don't quite know how you get there.
- 30:08It's like you're going to be stuck for a bit for your first 200 shows at this value.
- 30:14It doesn't matter what the value is. It's like you're stuck here.
- 30:17And then suddenly, bam, your show is now here.
- 30:20It and then no matter what you do it's that
- 30:23you'll get the old one that's different but
- 30:27the averages come out weirdly the same and
- 30:30then it's the next bit in the next bit and you can just keep pushing and there
- 30:35are a few things i found that have changed it the obvious one is i bought a
- 30:40card reader yes yeah actually before you jump into that there's a question here
- 30:46saying that like Like, do people carry cash?
- 30:49And so how are you sort of taking these payments with regard,
- 30:53whether it be cash in this sort of cashless society that we're slowly moving towards?
- 30:57It's interesting, actually, because you'd expect there to be a lot less cash.
- 31:02There's still almost more cash than card, which is weird.
- 31:09But it really depends on what you push.
- 31:12So I don't find there's an issue too much. but when i didn't offer an alternative
- 31:18payment though of course you're limiting yourself,
- 31:22i got myself one card reader that was yeah i didn't love it i switched to a qr code,
- 31:29that's good i think that's that's a nice option i've still got that but recently
- 31:34i've got a new you saw a card reader and that thing cracked it, that's good.
- 31:42So yeah, that's the first key I found.
- 31:46Give options. More options there are, the more chance you have.
- 31:52Then there's small things that that's, that's the pain aspect,
- 31:54but if you want to like get the show better, more original, I think is good,
- 32:02but when I say more original, it's more you, so you can do someone else's stuff,
- 32:07but it's gotta be you like when I, I did cups and walls for a bit mass,
- 32:12not me, I was doing it cuz everyone else was doing it.
- 32:15Cut that from the show entirely show got better.
- 32:18I did the balloon swallow for a long period of time now there's various reasons
- 32:23for reasons why i shouldn't have done that i'm sure some people can come up
- 32:29with their own reasons why ma'am explain what are they oh it's 15.
- 32:39Me right so that again wasn't me doesn't work cut that from the show show got
- 32:47better But when I started doing the DMT stuff, it felt more me because it felt
- 32:52natural, which I got better.
- 32:55So it's just toying around with what's new. There are small things I've heard,
- 33:00like some people use rope to mark a crowd.
- 33:03So apparently that can help. I've never used it myself. I prefer a more natural thing.
- 33:09Yeah, can we talk about that real quick with regards to how to edge your audience?
- 33:14I used to use just a bottle of water. I used to bring a bottle of water with a pop cap.
- 33:18And then I would just spray a line of water. And I would explain to everyone,
- 33:21please come a step forward to the line just to make sure the sidewalk's clear.
- 33:26And then the council doesn't shut down my show.
- 33:28And people go, no, I'm not going to move. They're going to shut down my show.
- 33:30You need to keep walking.
- 33:31I'll just get, if you're not going to play, you know. So, yeah.
- 33:34So when it comes to creating an edge, and the edge is important because let's
- 33:38just say that there's a situation.
- 33:39Where they got to catch a bus and they go we have to
- 33:42go you got to close that gap and create that edge
- 33:45and as you have that edge you'll end up having four or five
- 33:47people deep and be able to hack your show more appropriately so that's
- 33:51for the folks who are unaware of what we're talking about what edge
- 33:54do you use what are your thoughts so i like
- 33:57kind of incremental thing so i find if
- 34:00you can lock in that front few people then
- 34:04you can yank your table back and you'll notice if you watch performers they
- 34:08do this all the time where they're busting they pull their table back one step
- 34:13and throughout the show they're moving back quite a long way they'll end up
- 34:17at the start of the front of the pitch and they'll end up like five meters back
- 34:20and it's just very substantial.
- 34:22What that does is it locks in your front edge and then
- 34:25you start building around the sides as you need to move your table back and
- 34:30then you end up with that semi-circle that's what i use if people are watching
- 34:33really far away there's some lines you can use that you've got have you ever
- 34:38seen close-up magic before no not from that far away come on in you might as well.
- 34:45More thank you yeah i know it's world class i'm here all night there's coming
- 34:52close it's not like tv there's no radiation let's don't worry if people watch them out the back,
- 34:58There's a few lines for that. You have backstage passes, all that sort of stuff.
- 35:01Get people in front of your show to fill in that front and then the sides.
- 35:06That's the important bit.
- 35:09So I don't use any water or rope or anything like that. It's just a matter of
- 35:13pulling people in, getting close.
- 35:16I don't mind a small show. I'm not fast. I don't need a thousand people.
- 35:22So yeah, for me, pulling close and it'll build naturally.
- 35:26Yeah. Yeah. And how do you go about closing those gaps if anybody walks away?
- 35:31Closing the gaps, it's again, kind of use of lines.
- 35:35I'm not that fussed because I think if you get too worked up about it,
- 35:39people go like, no, we should try and build more.
- 35:42We're not that valued. He's just trying to build more people. No, no, no, no.
- 35:46But if you just like pass in comment, like guys, I'm in London.
- 35:49I don't like gaps. The tube tells me all the time.
- 35:51So that sort of thing, that probably, or it looks like he's farted moving guys, seriously.
- 35:58Stuff like that just know the lines and just run off and on the whole it will
- 36:04work and if it doesn't work yes there is there is one golden line that i'd like
- 36:08to share if you if it if it's going to be of any benefit to you if i may it's
- 36:11actually going to be published in a something,
- 36:13hoonish i think it's in it's like editing stage or whatever but what i used to do
- 36:18when i came to doing my show is before i did my my finale
- 36:22i would do one more card trick one more little
- 36:24thing and i would ask people i'd say like have i'm in a good time you
- 36:27guys have a good time and they would say yay and then in return
- 36:30i would say can i do like the finale's about
- 36:33to start but can i do one more before we get into that like is anybody in a
- 36:36rush does anyone have a train to catch like can you stick around and they go
- 36:41yeah we can stick around and i go great they're not going to walk away in your
- 36:44hat line now because they said they got to stick around but that's stops a little
- 36:49bit of gold for you. Yeah.
- 36:53Now we've got a guy that's doing so many shows. What I'm really curious is,
- 36:57is, uh, the crazy stories that sometimes happen.
- 37:00So I was thinking, Nick, maybe we should do a gig story segment.
- 37:04That's a great idea. Let's roll into a gig story.
- 37:11So, Gig Stories is a segment of the show where we talk about wonderful moments
- 37:14of magic, whether we're performing for our friends, family, or even on the street.
- 37:18And who better than to tell us an awesome gig story than our guest, Samuel Osborne.
- 37:23Son of Ogby. No, I'm kidding. Or if you need a second, we can jump in, but you let us know.
- 37:30Oh, yeah. Awesome. I'll go, I'll go, I'll go quickly. I'll give Sam a second.
- 37:36Just a little, a little detail that I didn't expect.
- 37:39I did an event in Airlie beach last week, which is just like a two hour flight
- 37:44to like a touristy destination area in Queensland and doing this event for 50 people.
- 37:50But I'm there for three hours, which is a weird, normally you wouldn't be there
- 37:55for that long, but they sort of flown me there. So I'm like,
- 37:58Hey, I'm there for your event.
- 37:59And it just sort of worked out that, that I end up staying the whole time.
- 38:03So you're getting through a lot of material and there's a routine.
- 38:06There's a, we all know the effect double cross and we've talked about it at
- 38:11lengths on this podcast before.
- 38:13I always have it on me, but I never use it because I like knowing I have this
- 38:17thing on me, but I prefer to not have to bring it out.
- 38:20Like, you know, the other 150 magicians that will use it that night.
- 38:25The condom of magic tricks. You want to have it on you just in case you need it.
- 38:30That's, That's a nice way of thinking of it. So I'm getting,
- 38:33you know, I'm sort of, I'm getting through a lot of material now,
- 38:37but also the women at this event are also, you know, starting to get drunker.
- 38:43So there's like a line here now where double cross is sort of needed because,
- 38:47you know, anytime you perform to the same group again, you kind of want to top
- 38:51what you just done in levels of like entertainment or amazement anyway.
- 38:56It's finally time to bring out this double cross. So I, I, I dust it off out
- 38:59of my pocket, get off the cobwebs.
- 39:01And I use the version that has a love heart stamp on it.
- 39:05Cause I'm original like everyone else is. And so love heart,
- 39:10right? So do the thing. Love heart disappears.
- 39:13She opens her hand and she completely screams in utter disbelief,
- 39:18like proper screaming, like the party stops.
- 39:21Like she's lost her mind. I did put this up on my Facebook. book.
- 39:25It was on my stories a little while ago on Instagram.
- 39:27And then what I didn't know, and I didn't show this in the recording,
- 39:31but after she had been screaming for a while,
- 39:33she then pulls up her sleeve and she has a matching heart, actual tattoo on her bicep right here.
- 39:43Like the exact type of just a black outline, almost the exact same shape that this was.
- 39:49And that's why she lost her mind so hard. And so she's like,
- 39:53looked at this, freaked out, freaked out with her friends, pulled this up,
- 39:57seen that now I'm freaking out now we're all crying. Now we're all having this. No, I'm not.
- 40:02But it was just a mental moment that like, you know, I didn't know what happened.
- 40:06And then once I saw that, I was like, this is the best thing ever.
- 40:09And no doubt I'll be booked to go back there next year because it was just like, it was insanity.
- 40:15So that's my little gig story. did something and then they already had that
- 40:19just to blow their minds it was if that could happen in every gig that would
- 40:26be great yeah yeah you just got to bring that person to every single gig or
- 40:30just like make friends with the tattooist and be like who did you tap this week that.
- 40:36Where do they go out what do they drink it's not
- 40:38a bad idea there's got to be there's got to be a a thousand
- 40:42there's got to be a thousand people who get like an
- 40:44awful butterfly at the lower of their back
- 40:47and you just sort of go like look a butterfly and they turn
- 40:50around and show their butt crack and be like oh my god josh i
- 40:55love the comment josh equals voldemort i could you know that i was called voldemort
- 41:00at that party too so it's kind of funny you know what i get a lot i get i get
- 41:04either hey agent 47 i'm like i got a beard go away and then i get oh johnny sins and And I'm like,
- 41:11if you don't know who that person is, then you are not an adult,
- 41:14but I'm glad you get that as well.
- 41:17Yeah. It could have been anything. Could have been a magician.
- 41:19Could have been an astronaut.
- 41:20Yeah. Do you have a gig? Do you have a gig story from the gig that you did after
- 41:25we were chatting last week?
- 41:26The one that made you wait like an extra hour to start because of the speeches? Yeah.
- 41:31Crap. Which one was that? You were backstage and, uh, yes, that was like the rooftop.
- 41:39Yeah. So, so what had happened was I get this phone call and they're like,
- 41:44Oh, look, you know, we, we, we just want to get you in there for like the hour
- 41:47and a half that we got you booked.
- 41:48We had you booked for four 30 originally come earlier.
- 41:51Cause I reckon at the moment those speeches are done, you're good to go. And I'm like, cool.
- 41:55So I go there a full hour earlier in the expectation that like,
- 41:59I'll be ready in five, 10 minutes and ready to rock.
- 42:02And I rock up and then she's like, yeah, now we're actually going to start late.
- 42:06And so I was like, just stuck backstage for a full hour.
- 42:09But thankfully my good friend, Josh gave me a call whilst he was in transit
- 42:12on the way to this lovely gig we just heard about.
- 42:14And we got to talk about all cool ideas and it's always nice to chat with Josh.
- 42:18And we're just planning some cool things for you guys to enjoy in the podcast.
- 42:21But these things happen. Sometimes you want to actually pay for that privilege
- 42:26when you're doing these things. The lesson learned is this, that sometimes you
- 42:29want people to pay for that privilege and sometimes you want to be cool about
- 42:32it, you know, to maintain a relationship with these people.
- 42:35So sometimes let's say people go, oh, we're going to book you for an hour.
- 42:38I go, great. You do 30 minutes at the start of the night, 30 minutes in the
- 42:41night. I'm like, what? Over a four hour period.
- 42:43You're nuts. Like, no, you don't pay for the time I'm performing.
- 42:47You pay for the time I'm there.
- 42:48If you want, if your speeches want to go 30 minutes into my set, that's on you, not on me.
- 42:53There's those little things like that that you sort of need to take from.
- 42:56And that's the lesson to be learned from my gig story.
- 42:59Although we're super excited to hear about Sammy's one. Samuel, are you ready?
- 43:04Yeah, I can make it up. Yes. I don't know. I think I had this a couple of weeks ago.
- 43:12I did a gig rather than straight.
- 43:16I'm not super, I don't do too many gigs. I want more gigs. Gigs are fun.
- 43:20No, no. I think the busking stories probably are the more crazy ones,
- 43:24to be honest. Like the things I've heard, you know, people flipping your table,
- 43:28like all sorts of weird things like that do happen on occasion.
- 43:35It's not as often as you might think I've had, I think it was like the first,
- 43:41like two weeks into me doing it.
- 43:43Some drunk guy came in like really rowdy, lobbed an entire bottle of water on me.
- 43:50Like one go. I was drenched I just went alright man finish the show,
- 44:00there's a boom in the cloud and it's like what the hell you wanna back off man
- 44:06tell me about it I finished that show and then shook the guy's hand and we all
- 44:11went off and we were all good,
- 44:14that doesn't happen very often good I'm glad that's I don't need that happening
- 44:19I don't need But yeah, I'll distinctly remember that, because that was early. It was really early.
- 44:26But yeah, no, stupid things do happen all the time. You always get the old spectator
- 44:31who's just fun to work with and will just go off script and you just kind of go with it.
- 44:38I did that yesterday on a show.
- 44:41Just a poor spectator on stage. Can I do it for my finale? I said, who likes helping out?
- 44:46Two people, usually it's the younger ones, sometimes it's the older.
- 44:50So I got one young kid came up and a girl came up
- 44:56and she was like really energetic love the show and i asked like do you guys
- 45:01know how to teleport cards and then he said no she said yeah all right i gave
- 45:08the deck of cards i joined the audience,
- 45:10that's when the show is yours she just started doing stuff.
- 45:16Round with it and um really built the
- 45:19show so yeah it
- 45:22was that was fun just kind of play around
- 45:25with the audience and make it up as you go along
- 45:28how funny would it be if you just like all
- 45:31right you take over ladies there's no worries and she just like
- 45:33finished her show and had it for you and she was like you're welcome and walks off
- 45:36that'd be like that'd be like cape crusader stuff i love it yeah if i can do
- 45:43that every time that'd be nice and the audience is ready to play like that's
- 45:47the best like when they're there to go for it yeah well the thing There's going
- 45:52to be so many more stories to come. Obviously, you're very early in your busking career.
- 45:56Do you foresee yourself traveling to locations and what locations would you
- 46:00like to attempt to perform in? Non-English speaking?
- 46:04Would you like to come to Australia? What do you have on your bucket list of
- 46:08places to travel to for performing busking?
- 46:12Yeah next year is my my like what i'm eyeing up right now since i'm now like
- 46:18kind of taking it full time i've got a bit more like i want to toy with it more and make the most of,
- 46:24being my own boss going around so next year end of reference i want to do the whole month,
- 46:30haven't done it there's a load of people i've been told it's really good you have to do it so that
- 46:37i will be doing so that's all of
- 46:39august and then at some point next year potentially
- 46:43early on i'm not quite sure yet i want
- 46:46to do australia giletta said and jason and mika they said both come down do
- 46:52it so that's kind of number one i really want to do that i've never been to
- 46:58australia so that's a bonus as well gets usually general traveling you're going to be so mad when
- 47:04you come here you're gonna be so mad when you get here because you're gonna
- 47:07be like crap we sent our convicts here this place is freaking awesome.
- 47:18Oh man but yeah no my bad i don't i don't think you had anything to do with
- 47:27it i think you're right yeah i don't think at 18 years of old you're responsible
- 47:30for sending folks down here i think I think you're, you're cool.
- 47:33You, you are a time traveler.
- 47:35Well, that's right. He's a time traveler. Yeah. Yeah. It's still on my mind.
- 47:39The, the, the, the wisdom you have in there and knowledge that,
- 47:42that, the thing we haven't touched on yet as well is you're 18,
- 47:46you've, you've, you got into magic during COVID and somehow you have a social
- 47:50following already larger than the both of Nick and I, so what is your journey
- 47:55into the social media realm?
- 47:58It's quite different to performing in real life. So how did that kind of kick off?
- 48:03Yeah. So I did that straight off the bat.
- 48:06I was doing, the moment I got into magic, I just started posting it,
- 48:09which arguably was a mistake because they're unlisted now, but the videos were terrible.
- 48:16But I just started rolling out videos and eventually I started putting myself
- 48:20in the video rather than just like hands and stuff.
- 48:23And for a while, I enjoyed it. It was all right. You start rolling stuff out
- 48:28and it didn't get too much traction.
- 48:30And then I kind of stopped for a bit. Or at least slowed down.
- 48:34And it was when I met Jason in 2023.
- 48:37He just said, post-mortem. Do it.
- 48:41And I did it for like a solid month. I think I posted once every day or two.
- 48:47Just constantly rolled them out. And at the end of that month,
- 48:49one of the videos just went ridiculous.
- 48:53It was, bam, right to a couple million views.
- 48:58Just from nowhere. Don't know why. And yeah, since then, my stuff's been alright.
- 49:04I tried to make it a little bit more quality.
- 49:08I've slowed down for now, that's because I'm so heavy on the street, it's a lot of stuff.
- 49:15But yeah, I think it was partially luck, also a lot of postman,
- 49:22you just got to do it quite.
- 49:25So, I mean, I know you guys have been doing that.
- 49:29Josh, I see you finally kind of cracking big pieces.
- 49:34I must spend. No, no, I love it.
- 49:37And, you know, you say it's luck, but, you know, you posted every day for a
- 49:42month. You know, that's not luck.
- 49:44That's just constant, as Jason calls it, constant buying a ticket to the lottery.
- 49:50You know, you need more tickets for one of them to go off and win.
- 49:54And I've seen the video that you're referencing and what it,
- 49:58it suddenly has such a good hook and it looks so organic and not overproduced
- 50:03that obviously hindsight, it seems obvious,
- 50:08but you know, just looking at it, I can, it makes sense why it's done well,
- 50:11but you know, you're a young guy,
- 50:13you've got this good persona, it gets into it straight away and you want to see what happens.
- 50:19So has that, like, people have this perception that, because a lot of magicians
- 50:26are trying to post very often and it's, the content is questionable sometimes
- 50:31and sometimes it's good.
- 50:32But at the end of this rat race, like, I guess where I'm going with this is
- 50:37like, does it change anything?
- 50:39Like where you're following is now, does that affect your performing in any
- 50:44way or any advantages that you found? The eventual production, which is a weird thing.
- 50:51Now I'm treated as a more credible performer. My skills got better, even if it hasn't.
- 50:59People just treat you as like, all right, this guy has to be somewhat decent,
- 51:04right? He got a good video.
- 51:10Because if I didn't get that video, if I didn't get that, yes,
- 51:15my follower count would have gone and up but nowhere near as rapidly i
- 51:20i down i get that same kind of perception i have it where because my social
- 51:24was on my sign on my street it's for my street show people like follow that
- 51:28and go like whoa this guy's got a lot of followers it's like oh now i'm good
- 51:33okay it's it's cool but it It seems like a perception thing,
- 51:40but in terms of actually my performance style,
- 51:44not so much.
- 51:46I prefer performing in person than I do on social media.
- 51:50I just prefer the interaction with people more so than I do straight to the
- 51:55camera after far too many takes of me butchering a sentence over and over and over again.
- 52:01If I do that on the street, no one cares.
- 52:05So, yeah. And now I think I've seen you adapting the hybrid of that,
- 52:11which is to film your busking shows, right?
- 52:14To find those moments that are one-offs that you can post about,
- 52:18which I think is the best format because now you're not spending extra time
- 52:23to film stuff. You're just documenting.
- 52:27But how has that experience been? Because it's different.
- 52:31It's an interesting one. I bought myself the 360 camera to have on my table
- 52:37so I could record the shows.
- 52:39I think it isn't as good as it should be.
- 52:44A cat i was gonna say he's a tiger of run.
- 52:51But yeah no so those videos annoyingly i i i did my big video and i switched
- 52:58style and then none of them did as good so that i put down to the fact it's
- 53:05it doesn't feel as natural as such,
- 53:10i'm pulling bits essentially scripted bits from the showroom bits that happen
- 53:13all the time The best bits that work like that when it's front street is the impromptu moments.
- 53:19When I was running such a scripted show for that bit, they didn't pop up very often.
- 53:27So for now, I'm not bringing my camera, I'm just nailing the set.
- 53:31If I get the show right, then that can come.
- 53:35But yeah, it's a nice way of uploading. I think it's the content is there.
- 53:39You can upload it, but it gets arguably repetitive.
- 53:43I'm trying to avoid that.
- 53:47That's something that's a hundred percent. And, and for anyone listening in
- 53:51that same boat for content creation,
- 53:54that's something that I've been trying to tackle as well, which is how do you
- 53:59find something in your show that, that can be repeatedly posted and seems different.
- 54:06So, and that has to come from the audience's side. Like what can you do that
- 54:09the audience will give you a different thing each time?
- 54:12Like for me, it's the name of card and tell me how you'd like me to find it.
- 54:17But, and you know, so that way I can post that same segment and it's always different.
- 54:23But I wonder if you could literally say, like point to someone and be like,
- 54:27what is the most impressive magic trick I could do for you right now?
- 54:30I wonder if you were to say that, what people would say to you.
- 54:35And if there's a chance that it is a thing you could improv off and do even
- 54:41in the funniest, slightest way of it, you know, and then if it is too far fetched,
- 54:47yeah, like I, I would love to see it if I was a busker, that's what I would
- 54:51try because imagine, imagine it's something that, that you can do And within your toolkit,
- 54:58well, now you've just done the most impressive thing that they could possibly think of. Yeah.
- 55:03And if they say, I imagine if they.
- 55:07And I imagine if they say something that that's too crazy, like make a car appear
- 55:11or whatever, you could just, you know, be like, well, what about a country,
- 55:15you know, and just make it humor and then go into the rest of your show.
- 55:18Or, or like, yeah, or, or you can do is you can actually like start taking inventory
- 55:25of all the things they say.
- 55:27They might say, make a lion appear, make a disappear.
- 55:30You can just like in your closeup bag or in your pockets, have these things. Great.
- 55:34At the end of this, here's the deal. i will make your dreams come true i'll
- 55:38give you the show you've exactly asked for and in return you will put a nice
- 55:43crisp 20 pound note in this you know or there about i'll take,
- 55:49i'll take two 10 pound notes whatever it might be but if i make a car up here,
- 55:53that's what's up and then you just go like you know get a silk and mini matchbox
- 55:57car thank you 20 pounds you know yeah they could that could even be a line like
- 56:02what what is the most impressive magic trick i could do for you right now they
- 56:05say it and then you could be like and how much would you pay to see that most impressive magic trick.
- 56:12No no yeah i would love to see it man feel free to run with it,
- 56:18that's a good means for a headline you go great so something like mike copperfield
- 56:22would do and what would you pay to see that privilege to see him make a giant
- 56:25vanish a ship or whatever else yeah great that costs you hundreds of dollars
- 56:30guys at the end of this show i only want a fiver or a 10 or a 20.
- 56:34And you can actually weave that into your stuff.
- 56:36And if there's an opportunity to make a car appear or whatever it might be,
- 56:40Yeah, that could be fun. But by all means, take inventory. That could be funny.
- 56:45Now I'm just getting into it. Imagine you just have in your case just a bunch
- 56:49of stuff that people could name to like miniature versions, like an elephant.
- 56:53Oh, my God. Because now obviously you can use it as a hat line.
- 56:57But for me, in my head, it's the content idea. Like now it's the video.
- 57:03That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. I love it.
- 57:07I love it. Well, bloody hell. Hell, we want to chat to you more, Sam, but yeah.
