My agent really wants me to audition this year for AGT, but I'm drawing a blank on what to perform Ideas?
Have fun! Break a thread!I'm auditioning November 14th in Cincinnati, I hope you are able to find something to perform!
They didn't like the Triumph and asked me to avoid card tricks at all unless super visual. :/Your version of Triumph could be a candidate. I wonder if that GREAT sponge balls routine of yours would be suitable - a bit small, close and personal - for the judges directly?
That would be cool! Can I make a suggestion? Maybe out of the purses you make some balls appear (which you are already doing), then you make 3 small cups appear for a cups and balls routine, or one small chop cup for a chop cup routine? Then you can end with making them vanish back into the "purse". Bring out a pen for a magic wand, and you are left to close with Double Cross.Im testing new material with the invisible purse. May be a good time to bring it out to the public? It is mainly the sponge ball routine but the actual star of the show will be the purse. Producing different objects out of it then maybe ending with "double cross?" strong visual magic that doesn't require much talking to set up... haha

P.S. Just make sure you contact the Creators of any effects about using something. Some people don't like to have their stuff on TV.
This is such a key thing that we as magicians forget is what actually entertains laymen. Laymen are not as interested as what magicians are unless it is as she said "super visual". That is such great advice for anyone on here.They didn't like the Triumph and asked me to avoid card tricks at all unless super visual. :/
I like the purse idea! I hate it when they just do some self working trick.Im testing new material with the invisible purse. May be a good time to bring it out to the public?

What's wrong with a self worker?I like the purse idea! I hate it when they just do some self working trick.
Fair enough.On television I want to see what skills they have. They're a skilled magician and are on national television because of that, I want them to bring it.
On YouTube to me a video of a self working trick is just a trailer where you don't tell me who makes the trick. This is just a rant I have about TV and video magic, not about self working tricks in other contexts.
I love watching sleight of hand on television and can't wait to see Mr. O'Brien and (not see) his invisible purse!

I pitched my spongeballs routine so waiting to hear back what she says.
