Good stage Trick?
- Thread starter Axe
- Start date
the show can be as long or short as i want and criss angels levitation doesnt have vary good angles
for the stage criss' levitation has perfect angles.
if you want a full routine that is cheap easy and always works and gets great reactions I would pick up PreThoughts by Banachek.

You're not only expecting to learn the secret in a week and get the technical aspect down, but in the same week get down the presentation aspect down? Sorry, but it's not going to happen. If you didn't have enough material, you shouldn't have agreed to do the show... or offered to do it. Good luck getting yourself out of this.
Axe, this is probably exactly what your looking for. It teels the plans for illusions. Houdini's Metamorphosis is also there under Substitution truck (Although that would require an assistant and probably quite a bit of practice). Browse through them though because I am sure there are some good ones there. Here is the link:

i agree find at least two good tricks practice them non-stop and just go for it! look good and remember to have fun with it. don't just entertain them, entertain yourself to get involved with your audience, and get comfortable with them.

In some cases, yes.
But not to Build & Constuct, Learn the Method, and Perfect something such as a Stage Illusion.
They are usually quiet large, and will also cost quiet a bit of money to construct.
No way can it be done well.
axe post back when you find out what you are going to do fo next week i would like to know. and dont listen to adjones give this gig a shot its all you have take it, but make sure you gave a backup plan.
Here is the way I see it.
He has said yes to performing at an event, he is clearly not ready for.
Within 5 Days he expects to:
Maybe we sound 'harsh' but we are being completely honest and fair.
I performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and that took 4 Solid Months of practice and perfection (and construction.)
It is not possible, within his time frame.
Sorry man.

Within 5 Days he expects to:
- Find an effect (Stage Magic) he likes.
- Find out where to buy blue prints for the effect.
- Buy the blue prints.
- Wait for the magic shop to send the blue prints.
- Wait to receive the blue prints via mail.
- Read the blue prints, understand them, and work out materials needed.
- Buy and find these materials.
- Construct the prop.
- Test the prop.
- Perfect his act, work out a script and practice the effect and script.
- Get a friend to help with the act, and understand everything he knows relating to the effect.
- Get the prop to his school and find a place to store it.
- Perform the effect WITHOUT FAULT.
