Perfect.
Now, let's say hypothetically that you took the subjects of mysticism you see in the lyrics of Zep and The Doors and used them as presentations for your effects. I'm going to take a second to mind dump dramatically and pound out a couple ideas. Keep in mind, most of them will suck because I'm thinking off the top of my head, but there are strictly for illustrative purposes only.
-There are rumors that Jim Morrison drank tarantula venom to induce hallucinations. Russian roulette routine using Mark Edwards' method from Restless Plots.
-The lyrics of Kashmir can be used as Kenton Knepper's method of producing glitter (or in this case, "the dust that floats high in June") from the Sorcerer Series.
-The rock and roll heartbreaker. Torn and restored paper heart.
That's all I can come up with at the moment, I'm a little burned out from working all day. And like I said, they all suck because I'm just free-forming.
The point is, adding a touch of rock to your character and presentations would have a ring of authenticity to it because it genuinely interests you, and an audience who also is interested in it would recognize that passion in you.
And it doesn't even have to be in the effects. Jim Morrison was actually painfully shy and reticent. But he struck up his famous poses, body language, and mannerisms by (and I'm not kidding) studying Classical Greek sculpture. He modeled his body language on that, further adding a mythological dynamic to rock culture. Do you think maybe you could do that?
Great read, Im actually thinking in a lot of new ways to present the tricks now, thank you, the other problem that I have there is that as you have seen, I live in mexico, so not a lot of poeple kinda know those bands, and the music here is well, amm, garbage, anyway, I think if I still talk about the stereotype of the rockstar and then mention Jim morrison case and other interesant facts I might grab their attention, I can still work something...
The thing that I have been using is ego, ( and I dont mean mine) and their desire for power, now, when I usually perform I talk to them and explained them how the mind can be made to think that certain things happen, just like Psycological Pregnancy ( when the girls think they are pregnant and their belly grows up but there is no baby), even their eyes can be deceived, and I make them think that through words, by just talking to them like a normal person would, I can change the things they perceive...
Now, how is that related to ego and their desire for power? we as humans, we always dream of how wonderful would it be to be able to make people believe in things that we believe in, to change other people perceptions, and they "see it happen" so a lot of times they feel interested for that kind of thing...
Take the submission of my battle where I used the "see force"( I dont know how is it called) on the girl,I mean, I may sound as a arrogant guy, but I am pretty proud of that particular clip, As I said at the beggining of the clip, that was the closer, the last trick I performed for her, and in all those tricks I keep telling here about what I said above, now, it was very gratifying to see the girl actually taking the card in her hands and trying to change the card in the one she was thinking of. I mean, She believed it, a minute or two but she actually believed it.
thanks a lot man, after this I have to rework my performance from the ground.
