Do bear in mind that some people built entire and very successful careers using nothing but Tarbell so I'm confident you can find practical material that you can use, the problem is, you don't have time enough to create a solid piece of business.
I've done magic for over 40 years (nearly 50) and I'd be hard press to create a show in 45 days. Of course I have other reasons why that would be the case, one being that I'm a perfectionist and won't deliver a second rate program if I can at all avoid it. I work within my limits, not my ego. There's lots of excellent PR charming magic out there that I like but I'd never perform it because it was designed with ego in mind; as big as mine is, I know my limits.
Listen to these guys they've been around the block a few times.
