Is Control totally impromptu...

[ArtofDeception]

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum, but I have a question on Control.
Is it totally 100% impromptu? Like there is no setup before? Is there a gimmick of any kind, or is it just your arm? and if there is a gimmick how clean are you at the end?

Thanks

no gimmick at all. It's only your arm and your spectator as well.

alright good,
thank you

Is it totally based on the spectator's counting?

Doe the whole effect of the trick rely on the one spectator that is counting your pulse?

As in, it is not a visual trick, but totally relies on the spectators count?...

The spectator will be able to feel your pulse stop. The other spectators watching, of course, will not be able to, but they rely on the count.
I believe there is also an effect included by Daniel Garcia that allows the spectator to hear your pulse stop.

How can you hear a pulse stop?

I believe he meant that with Daniel Garcia's bonus effect, "STOP," a spectator can listen to your heart stop.

Your spectators will hear your heartbeat stop.

I recommend that you read the Control FAQ.

The other spectators reactions will also rely strongly on your acting. You have to be able to act to do this trick.

Acting is definatley a big part of this trick. Wayne goes over his performance of control from the stigamta DVD and shows how he evolved the performance since then. Other than that the trick is 100% impromptu.
