Where I Stand - Lady Gaga????

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110525/ap_en_ot/us_going_gaga

Whether you like her or not, Lady Gaga knows how to promote. She knows what is going to work. She's like this giant Anti-Popular thing that almost anyone can feed in to. It's hard for me to tell, but I don't think she's an unattractive person, but nobody is perfect and she seems to amplify those imperfections with her make-up and outfits. The confidence she has within herself is likely what helps pull it all off.

Basically what I'm getting at is, if you are looking to market something, currently look no further than what Gaga is doing.

I'm not saying that I'm going to dress like an insane cross-dressing sideshow clown (no disrespect to them or L.G.), but what I am saying is that I am going to take a little more of the reckless abandon approach and "go for it."

With that said, this is my 200th blog post in the "Steve du Jour" blog, and I believe it will be my last. I'm moving the blog to a new location and starting fresh. I've done the same with my YouTube page, facebook page, and soon with my website, creating a "The Used Magician" cohesiveness instead of a bunch of fragmented websites scattered across the internet.

I have a few goals for this year including getting a consistent paying magic job, making at least one of my YouTube.com/TheUsedMagician go viral, getting a ton more fans on my facebook page , and who knows what else. A newspaper story would be cool, for instance.

The point is, there is no limit and I deserve this. I've put enough time into it and now it's time to get something in return.

Do you have a similar story? Do you want help making a video go viral, or getting views for some personal cause? Share your story in the comments or post it on my Fan Page. Keep on eye on www.TheUsedMagician.com for the new blog location once it is made available.

Thank you for any support.

"Steve, The Amazing"
The Used Magician

UPDATE:

The new blog will be located at TheUsedMagician.blogspot.com
New posts will begin later next week as well as a new series of videos on The Used Magician YouTube channel

Outsourced - "Save Lie to Me * "

Outsourced is a section on my blog where I highlight something from the internet. This post is dedicated to a website trying to save one of my favorite tv shows: Lie to Me.

I've been watching the show for a little over two years now and it is right up my alley. Such a great cast of characters and a very different kind of show. You're following a character that always knows the truth, so in that regard you can kind of relax, but there's still drama in finding the end result each episode is looking for.

As a magician I like to watch any serious magic project, but they are rarely on tv more than once a year. These are the types of shows I watch instead and I'd really rather not lose them!

Magic Monday - Doppelganger

I've found not only another "Used Magician", but one who's name is also Steve. What a strange coincidence! So for Magic Monday I'm going to tip my hat to Steve Hart, the "Used Magician."
