Sleightly Sketchy: Steal*
Updated at 2:30pm to add a link to a post Shawn Farquhar made on Facebook today.
We're not even halfway through the second month of 2018 and already two significant conflicts regarding intellectual property (IP) rights have surfaced. At the end of January, Shawn Farquhar posted his most recent encounter with IP theft. A short seven days later, Michael Close posted this about his new Paradigm Shift ebooks. (And six days after that, another incident identified in a FB post from Shawn.) And that's just Canadian magicians.
Scroll down to the end of this post to see how you can get involved in combating this type of piracy.
* With thanks to Kidlet for providing the inspiration for the last panel.

Do you market with darts?
From the article "Marketing Your Magic Business - Do you shoot guns or toss darts?" by Peter Mennie at Magician's Masterclass:
When developing your magic business marketing plan there are two potential strategies: shotgun or darts. In my experience, most magicians use the shotgun approach which targets a broad base of potential clients with little to no focus.
I prefer the second strategy called D.A.R.T. which stands for Directed At Responsive Targets.
Guns are loud, fired from far away and hurt or kill their prey. Darts are tossed at their targets from 10 feet away and everyone drinks when you hit the bulls-eye.
Let me explain.

Los Angeles: Carisa Hendrix lecture
From Purple Owl Productions:
From Purple Owl Productions Twitter feed:
Bubble Tech 2.0 with Carisa Hendrix
Learn the benefits of bubble shows and how you can incorporate them into your current routine!
What are those benefits you ask? Take a look:
Universal appeal: Equally impressive and enjoyable for a wide rage of ages, cultures and genders.
Can be done silently: I have a bubble show in English and French and could easily put together one in Spanish with minimal effort because so much of it can be done to music or silently.
Cost Effective: Bubble shows are inexpensive to create, highly portable, and play big.
Fluid Integration: Bubble Tricks can be added to an existing clown, circus or magic show or be a show all on their own.

Bobby Motta at Crow's Theatre and his American television debut
From Crow's Theatre:
In case you missed it, watch Bobby's American television debut last Fall, as he entertains Steve Harvey. From Bobby Motta's YouTube channel:
Canada’s most coveted mentalist and mind-reader Bobby Motta retruns to Crow's Theatre with his show Cryptic on February 21st and 22nd.
Hailed by the New York Times as “one of the top mentalists on the planet,” Bobby Motta rides the twists and turns of the human psyche in Cryptic. Bobby sets the stage with tricky mind play, manipulating show-goers with deceptively simple psychology, then he goes deeper, pulling audiences into his mysterious world with his ultra-thrilling style and mesmerizing techniques. He grabs hold and blurs the lines between reality and the paranormal realms as he pulls you in.
Bobby Motta is Canada's own master of the unknown who earns props from celbrities here and abroad, astouding stars like Russell Crowe and Nelly Furtado. His incredible ingenuity and stage effects have also made him one of the industry's most sought after consultants behind the scenes, loaning out his secrets and effect to the consulting teams for worls class magicians lke David Blaine and Criss Angel, and consulting on some of stage and TV's biggest productions.
