I am talking about volunteers. Perhaps my post takes some pondering to understand. If you have any specific questions on my views, I'd be happy to oblige! I love you too Al Smile Just don't call me a jiggling bimbo or you'll regret it Smile

Obviously it depends on the particular routine that you are doing, but I agree with all of you. For example, when I perform Fantasy Magician for adults I always try to find a guy that is taller than me so I am hidden behind them better and I need someone that is going to have good facial expressions. For floating rose I agree with KOP. I find the most beautiful woman/girl in the audience (it makes the show a lot better for me).

Hey Red, fancy meeting you here ;-)

There's an excellent article by Brad Hendersen in the April issue of Magic Magazine called "Women and Children First"; it looks at why magicians so often seem to pick women and children out of the audience but not men. It seems to boil down to power, much of the time.
I think it's an important read, there's a lot of ugly truth in that article.
The best line is use "magic as a tool, not a crutch", and (paraphrasing here) "seeing a 12 year old use magic for the power it gives the magician, as a form of social adjustment, is perfectly normal, seeing a 40 year old man do that is creepy".
Just hanging out with the rest of my fellow dregs.

I would say avoid little kids or people with short attention spans.

It is a topic that jay Sankey covers in his book beyond secrets.
