Hey Guys,
I starded this thread because I want to discuss ways we can adapt an effect to be in the spectators hands. I will explain what I mean. I think that the strongest type of effects are the ones that happen in the hands of the specators. (sponge balls for example) I think we tend to limit ourselves by not using the spectators as much as we should. For some reason when a spectator does something they feel like they played a key part in the trick and they remeber it for ever.
So what I want to do in this thread is mention some tricks that we can adpat so that to the spectator it will feel like it happens in their hands. I think we under estimate our possibilities. I will try to give a few examples to get the ball rolling.
Ego by Daniel Garcia- This effect is a great effect but lets say to involve the spectators even more you had them wave their hand over the deck as you perform the ego move. It would feel to the spectators like it happened in their hands or at least they played a part causing them to remember that effect all the more.
Extreme Burn by Richard Sanders - Instead of doing the regular change have the spectators put their hands out and knock the bills against their flat oppened hands as you perform the change. It will feel like you changed the bills while they were holding on to them.
Invisible Deck- Have the spectators pull out the inversed card and flip it over.
Any Kind of Prediction - If you have an effect where you have a prediction in an envelope have the spectators hold on to it.
Coin Bend - Have the spectator push up on the coin and bend it themselves. (or so they think.)
Crazy Man's Handcuffs - In my opinion the most powerful part of the entire routine is when it happens with the spectators holding one of the rubber bands.
Levitating Dollar Bill - Levitate it off the spectators hands.
Cups and Balls - Perhaps depending on the setting you could have the spectators flip over the cups.
So what do you guys think? What effects can be adapted so the spectators play more of part? I will be very interested to here what you guys come up with. So post away.
Thanks,
Christian
