Good video footage of your act is very valuable these days. It can be used for promo, social media or simply just to get better. With 4K video cameras being fairly inexpensive, you really have no excuse to not have a decent promo video.


I try to record most shows, and that footage can be used however I need to. Normally I do this with the camera on a tripod. If I’m in the same place for a while, I can put the camera in different places and get different looking shots. With different angles of the same venue, in theory I can cut them together and make it look like a multi camera shot.


Sometimes I’ll give the camera to a magician to record. It’s interesting what most magicians tend to focus on. They focus on the trick, not the the bigger picture, or the reaction to the trick. Personally I want a tight shot of the me and the person on stage. This is the beauty of using a 4K camera, you can crop it to the trick, or the reaction, or leave it as is.
