ive been scripting and rescripting this set list for about a month now, and finally put some last tweeks into after some of Jamie's posts.
Set Onepatter about power of suggestion, perception and altering your reality.
Portal/Biddle-(i present them as one effect, one quick then slowed down and explained) power of suggestion to make you think your card is here, when its actually there
CMH- talk about reality being manipulated, to allow the bands to pass through
Coin Bend- Talk about more concrete reality warping. Coin bending in their hand
now depending on reactions, setting and time i might end the set there, otherwise end with
Torn-either with a card or a business card
Set Twolocation, location, location
Coin routine-begins with flash paper production, change into metal sharpie, do coin and pen routine, hand sharpie to be held and end on jumbo coin
Criterion-Multiple selections found, involves the audience and the sharpie is already out in the spec's hands
ACR-using one of the selections, do a routine, two regular phases, then Clipshift, Then Shifty, then Card to Mouth, then warp reality again saying card was never in there, Card to Pocket, misdirection for 51 card ditch. "deck vanish" one card left, their card.
Set ThreeThings MOVE
talk about a tip i recieved introduce bill Greed
Triumph- i use either sloppy shuffle triumph or Guy Hollingworths. Depending on the audience i dont do the sybil variation, looks more skill oriented than magic
Doc Dayley's last trick/Be honest what is it- i present this as one effect as well, repeating the same idea in "their mind"
French Kiss-just a killer closer and leave them with a souvenir
Extras - stuff i do at the end of a gig or sometimes sprinkle throughout for time. Also what i sometimes do for a host to get a gig
Stigmata
Ishkabibble Sandwich
Five Speed
Stairway debating on this one.. i have all the props with me anyway and it is strong
If the opportunity presents itself these are a few effects i dont routine in and prefer to use if the moment is there
Pressure- obviously if a phone is out, or being used while im performing i do it. Seems so off the cuff and organic and if you leave it in the balloon it serves as a souvenir and a way to prevent further texting during your performance haha
Ring routine- a mixture of several ring routines, sometimes involving a rubber band, depends on how its playing. I also occasionally carry Gaeton Bloom's ring flight and use that if i have the foresight to load the wallet on a spectator and see a workable ring
thats my set list as it is now. Im still playing with it and re-working it . Love to hear your thoughts. Again a lot of the important parts, like the patter and the story aren't there but it flows well together.
