Paul Smith: Thanks for answering these questions Doc, it's been great reading

My basic question is, do you feel magic is sometimes held back by certain aspects? Is there anything you would like to be able to change about the world of magic in order to make it better in some way?

Doc Eason: I don’t know what could be done to improve the world of magic.

If more magicians would focus on that space between us as humans rather than just do tricks... that would be good.

Andy C: Hi there.

I've been a big fan of the Doc's for a couple of years now. Since I first bought his bar magic series. This fanship (Is that a word?) was increased when I attended his lecture and master class last year. Great information, freely given.

As soon as I found out about his new release I ordered it. It arrived a few days ago, and I started watching it this morning, (My birthday, 44, thanks for asking.) I had been emailed by the Doc to warn of a possible glitch in the disc. After 5 minutes or so the glitch showed itself, and unfortunately I can't watch the entire Disc.

My Point. How many other dealers would alert their customers to a possible problem, and offer a fix with one email. No returns, no postage no problem. Indeed how many would even tell their customers, After all, a large proportion would probably not bother to complain, and indeed if they did, I can think of some dealers who would just say, "It plays fine here, It must be your machine." NOT the Doc! A really ethical guy

Cheers

Andy

PS On the 5 minutes I have seen, Great lines, Brilliant Colour changing Knife routine, To the point, Funny, magical and entertaining. Like all of his stuff. Can't wait to see the rest!

Doc Eason: As a person who sells stuff to the magic community, I really don’t think I had any choice in the matter... I have to make it right otherwise get a reputation of not caring about my customers... and that ain’t me...

By the way, I am still hassling with the re do project... hopefully it‘ll be done by mid September.

Thanks for the kind words, Andy...

Sean: Hi Doc

Kind of a general question here, but what, in your opinion, are the defining qualities of a magician?

Doc Eason: This is only my opinion...

I think the magician should be presentable, pleasant, friendly, glib, competent in the magical arts... I think it is important to be able to converse with people on subjects other than magic. I don’t believe that you have to be a magician 24/7...

Michael Jay: A big "Thank You" to Doc Eason for taking his time with us over the last week. I know he still has to get to these last few, but we knew there would be a bit of a lag toward the end. Don't worry, though, if you have a question out-standing, then it shall be seen to!

Today is the last day for questions, so, if you got 'em, you only have a short time to ask 'em!

Mike.

Admin: A hearty thank you from myself too.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these threads and I have learnt a great deal in the process. I would like to thank Doc Eason for taking the time to visit these boards and for leaving such a wealth of information.

A vote of thanks to you, Doc Eason, your time and input was very greatly appreciated.

Sean: Thanks a lot Doc. We know how busy you are and its great that you've taken the time out of your schedule to do this.

Thanks a lot

Rich: Although I haven't asked any questions, I have certainly learnt a great deal from your answers, thank you again for your time here

JohnStevens: I've got quite a lot of info from reading the archives! I'm just sad I missed Docs visit

Doc Eason: Just returned from Houdini days in Appleton WI... what a great time... it was a great hang with Finney, Aldo, Bargatze, Ammar, Joshua Jay, Gene Anderson and a whole host of other folks...
