I posted this on the Ellusionist forums a while ago and got a lot of responses. Members here have been complaining about the lack of good threads, so I'll post the same thing here.
This is something about spectators that has been bugging me for a while. I find it true with most spectators, not just the ones that are trying to screw you up.
Literally a month ago, I performed an ACR. It's my favorite opener. It's a great trick, but it doesn't really create an emotional connection. The spectator has been bugging me ever since to do the AC again. It's not like I haven't performed other effects for him. I've done Stigmata, Indecent, and Factory Sealed. Also, numerous other card effectss. Yet he still wants to see the AC. I could levitate 30 feet in the air and all he would want to see is me make his signed card rise to the top of the deck!
That's not the only thing. A couple of weeks ago I made a coin appear, dissapear and reappear. After that I did Bullet. Still, all the spectators wanted to see was me make the quarter appear.
This happens to me all of the time. All the spectators want to see is the first trick.
Does this happen to anyone else? Any advice?
Dave
Note: I no longer use the ACR as my opener. I started after I got the suggestions from the E forums.
