Hey, there everybody!
First of all, Happy Turkey Day! I hope you all stuff your face and get fat! That's what America's all about! All joking aside, I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving.
Second, my next video "Street Magic Vol. 2" has been postponed due to weather. For the past few days here in Texas, it's been pretty cold. I absolutely cannot STAND cold weather. I hate it. With a passion. So of course, I don't like to perform in cold weather. I will, but I don't prefer it. So filming for Vol. 2 has been postponed until it warms up a little bit, or until we find a warm place to perform. We were thinking about hitting the malls. We'll see how that turns out.
But for now, i'm gonna go stuff my face.

Happy Turkey Day,
Anthony Bass

Anthony Bass - Street Magic Vol. 1: Coming Soon
Hey, everybody!
For the past couple of months, me and ACP (Around the Corner Productions) have been shooting and editing my newest video, Street Magic Vol. 1. The video will be about eight and a half minutes long, and will contain three of my favorite tricks, and special guest Jack Sparrow. I titled it "Vol. 1
" because I did not include all of the footage we filmed in the video. There will be at least 2 more videos after Vol. 1 with more of my favorite material. The final video release date is: Wednesday November 5, 2008.
Here's the teaser:

The Rockstar Magician
That's right folks! I've dubbed a nickname. Lately i've had friends calling me a "rock-magician", because most of my stage performances are done along with rock music. And then one of my friends started calling me "Anthony Bass: The Rockstar Magician". So it stuck. =]
Nicknames rule,

Anthony Bass and ACP
Hay thur er'body!
Sorry, long time no blog. Life has been pretty freakin' hectic lately. I just thought i'd fill yous guys in on a few things.
First and foremost, I have just teamed up with a new YouTube production company called Around The Corner Productions (ACP). They'll be helping me film and edit some new, hi-def videos. Filming is starting within the next few weeks, so be expecting something from me soon. i'll also be making a couple cameos in some of their videos (I did take acting classes after all). Keep an eye on these guys, they've got potential. They don't have many videos as of now, but they've got a bunch of things cookin.
Second, I haven't been booking many gigs lately, so here's a shameless plug: If you live in the Dallas/Denton, Texas area, and you need someone like me to provide entertainment at your next party or what-not, hit me up with an email at anthonybass_magic@yahoo.com. I'll be glad to do so (for a small price of course).....=)
Third, I have this really bad itch on my right forearm.......really buggin me.
Anyways, just thought I'd fill you guys in on some important issues. If you wanna chat sometime, that's too bad, cuz i hate chatting. But you can email me! Or you can contact me on my myspace: www.myspace.com/anthonybassmagic
Love, peace, and happiness,
Anthony Bass

My Love/Hate Relationship: YouTube
I have kind of a love/hate relationship with YouTube. I'll start by telling you my views from both sides of the fence.
Why I Hate YouTube:
Exposure. There are countless, countless exposure videos on YouTube, some even exposing some of our favorite effects. I've seen many exposure videos of effects like Stigmata, Fraud, Greed, I even came across an exposure video of Distortion. Most of these videos are removed when legal action is taken, but that's not going to stop them all. There are alot of immature so called "magicians" out there who have this sick idea in their head that if they reveal effects, their videos will get more views, and their channel will get more subscribers. Let me tell you right now, this is the absolute stupidest way to gain views and subscribers. It's low. If you really think you are a skilled magician, it's alot cooler to post up performance videos than to post exposure videos. I don't care what other people say. If you want me to consider you a "good magician", show me some performances, not revelations. It's low, it's unethical, and it's just plain stupid. A real magician would not reveal secrets to get views. Come on guys. Let's grow up.
Why I Love YouTube:
Let's face it, magic exposure on YouTube will NEVER end. It's inevitable. Unless they make some kind of world-wide law about not posting magic exposure videos on the web, it will never be stopped. But instead of complaining about it ALL THE TIME, let's try to look on the bright side of this situation. Alot of people who see exposure videos on the Internet, they get inspired to get into magic themselves. I'm not one of these people, but I've met some really good magicians who said that the reason they got into magic was because they learned a trick on YouTube, and was hooked. When people reveal effects on the Internet, it not only gets some people into the art, but it also inspires our wonderful magic creators to create better, harder-hitting magic than ever before. As long as there are masses of exposure, there will be masses of new creations. And that's my view on it. Also, YouTube gives us "real magicians" a great opportunity to advertise ourselves. I don't care if it's a video of you performing in front of a webcam, a street magic video, or a video of a stage performance, if you're performing for YouTube, you're advertising, and you enjoy the benefits of it.
So like I said, there are alot of things that hurt magic not only on YouTube, but all over the Internet. But, at the same time, this exposure helps magic in some ways. I'm not going to say I absolutely HATE YouTube, and i'm also not going to say I absolutely LOVE YouTube. As for now, i'm on the fence with this one.
