This is a magic show - focus please!

This is turning into the best summer ever! There seems to be an increase in people this year, I suspect it is from the new advertising on TV33. TV33 is a local station that plays nothing but commercials for various Grand Strand businesses. Most hotels set the default channel on the TVs to TV33, which makes it a great place to advertise to tourists.

We are going to post a new video soon, we want to film some closeups of the magic so it will look better on YouTube - a YouTube screen is so small and compressed that it really does help to have closeup shots to really highlight the magic. The new video will have my new dancing hanky routine ... give us a few days or so ... here's a snapshot to hold you over:



If you've been with us over the years, you may notice that I have changed the camera position to get a head-on shot. The new location seems to be working well, although sometimes people stand in front of the camera and other times we pick up background noise of people chatting. I have also noticed that the camera's auto-focus seems to focus on the audience, and not on me. Its not that bad, but would be nice to have me in better focus. I'll play with the camera settings, see if I can't make it better.
