  Wedne sday’s Performance Tip: Master Your Act. If you have not yet gotten your act down pat, don’t perform it. The audience deserves better than a half-baked presentation.

  Leodini's Inner Magic — Authority: 116
  Lengthy introduction is a surefire attention killer. It kills interest in your speech, if you are an after-dinner speaker.  It turns off potential buyers, if you are a sales person.

  Leodini's Inner Magic — Authority: 116
  Words of wisdom from superstars don’t always apply in the Philippine  magic scene. Take for example signature acts. Someone I idolize has been spreading the Gospel of building a signature act.
