Well, you deal off 21 cards, and then...... What effect do you enjoy watching the most? Why do you enjoy it? Is it because it was entertaining or impossible, or both? Take a good effect, present it poorly, and it stinks. Take a simple effect, present it very well, and it's good. It's...

I recall this or something very similar from Jay Sankey. Shoot him an email. :)

Something else to think about is your opener. If you don't open well, you will lose the energy of your show. So make sure you have a good strong opener. Good luck! J **As far as a closer goes, I strong piece of mentalism can work nicely. Especially if the information is personal in nature...

Out of curiosity, how many people can register? It says that seating is limited.

Well, it looks like the cost for me to go would be 1200 (not including food). :( My wife isn't going for it. I looked at taking Greyhound, but it would take me 2.5 days there and another 2.5 days back. :( Sad day.

:rolleyes: I know this comes up in every church/magic thread, however hear me out. I think stigmata is a fantastic effect, and very personal. Obviously I don't call it stigmata or refer to it in any sort of religious way, but the effect is very strong, and allows you to be not only...

Agreed. Good for you for having the guts to approach the camera crew like that! If you can do that with success, then you will do great table hopping. A lot of the people here are not near that point. Good job. Post a link here if you find one (or at least pm me with it, if you don't want to...

I don't really do "spooky" magic, but I would assume that it would depend heavily on the patter. Find a good "true" ghost story and use that to base your script from. The more popular the story the better. Make sure you the story is short enough that it is not boring, and keep it exciting. j

I haven't had a chance to watch the special yet, but isn't he doing something to the television audience, (sticking them to their seats or something?)? Watching some of Darren's other stuff, some initial preparation is often used. Perhaps he's preparing the nation with subliminal messaging of...

I believe you should pass this through Jon first. j

If you are approaching the manager for the first time, make sure you know their target client demographic. For instance if they are not trying to get families, then make sure your magic does not come off as 'going to bring in the kids', but rather appealing to an older audience. Use your age to...

hmm, still no registration details. I was hoping when they said details were coming this week that the details would have some detail. ;) I need to know cost so I can book my flights while the seat sales are on! :confused:

heh, I hear that H.C.E. is a pretty good routine!:p

Or you could follow them home.... ...crrrrreeeeeeeeppyyyyyyyyyy ;)

Very clever. I have an idea how it was done (and how anybody could do it too). I'm looking forward to when the show goes up on youtube. I love DB stuff.

Ha ha, now she is going to think you are a creepy stalker who has been in her room looking at her pictures (hopefully that's not the truth). lol :p

I second this.

hey great post. just thinking about it and (random thought) you could have a second folded card and slip[ that card into their wallet in a smaller pocket (out of sight perhaps) while you are putting the other card in (so that you are one ahead). So they would see you put int the first one...

As long as they are not saying "He's pretty good, but not as good as Criss Angel..." Make them forget they ever heard of those 'other' guys. ;)
