Annistons got talent 2013 HELP!!!

[CalebBowers]

I registered to perform at a local talent competition with a $1,000 prize and a visit from a talent search agent. I have to perform a routine in less than two minutes and I'm not quite sure what I should do. Please help me make a routine that is quick and mind blowing.

How long have you been performing for?
What material do you know?

This - What do you perform already and what are you good at?

 

[TylerRouss]

Also have you ever made a routine before?
Do you have a character?
A preferred medium of magic?

It's hard to say without knowing what you're already good at, what you know, and your performing style. But if it were me, I would go with mentalism so you could look into a mentalism routine that's under 2 minutes. And I know some people on the forums aren't gonna be happy i said that.

This prompts two questions.

1. If you knew some of us would disapprove of that recommendation, why did you go ahead and make it anyway?
2. Do you even know why some of us would object to that recommendation?

That said, learning new material for the sake of one 2-minute talent show spot is a fool's game. You won't have it polished in time. It's been 3 days and you still haven't told us what you're already good at. The clock is ticking so I hope you have an answer for us soon.
