A gross oversimplification perhaps, but we're facing the right direction
simplicity, simplicity, simplicity, or is it location, location, location, IDK just rambling.
Okay why not go the true bizarre magic route and actually tell a story revolving around something supernatural and then replicating things in the routine.
Like talk about a homicidal maniac whom lived during the 19th century and was caught and sentenced to death but was released after a lethal bet. John Manson was not known to lash out at people, but to think he murdered 5 people was unlike him. 1816 their was a chill in the air, even though it was July. John Manson was on trial for being accused of killing in cold blood a family of five. John pleaded to the court that he did not lay one finger on any of the members of the family. There was of course evidence that indicated he was guilty of the murder. He was sentenced to hang by the neck till dead. Dead and cold.
Manson waited in his cell after his physical punishment, he asked to talk to the judge. He pleaded and begged in his cold cell until he got his answer. The judged agreed to talk to Manson in private with 2 guards by his side, just in case. Manson was brought into the judges house where they sat in his parlor. Manson begged for his life, the judged refused. Manson was persistence, he knew the judge loved to gamble, so he asked the judge to give him a challenge anything he wanted. If Manson was able to complete the challenge he would be let free, if not he will hang immediately. Manson asked if he would win this challenge would the judge be willing to loose his life instead? The judge smugly excepted his challenge.
The judge walked to his desk and pulled out a pack of cards he took two cards and carefully stacked them into a triangle he took two more cards and placed them in front of the already made triangle. The judge said only a prayer can save you. The judge then ordered that Manson to turn away from the desk. The judge then said " John this is your challenge if you can knock the farthest stack of cards over without knocking the stack in front of them down, you may be let free. Do not speak Manson the only word I want to here is Amen. When those words leave your mouth you had better hope that the cards fall." The judge stood behind his deck and ordered Manson "Say it."
There was a short but long pause even though it was mid-day during July it was still very cold out. It seemed colder in the room death was lingering at the door breathing his icy cold breath into the room. "Amen" the back to cards fluttered off the table, as if someone had flicked them off the desk. The judge was horrified, Manson was chuckling. The judge and guards stared at the desk in disbelief. "you really should have believed, that I didn't touch that family. Amen." at that moment 3 more lives left the earth, Manson was free. No one knows how the judge and his two guards died that day, or where exactly Manson left to. You then state. "But I know, I know he moved to the new country called United states. Some say he isn't real, but he has lineage." during this story you set up different objects on a table 2 card triangles, and 3 pens behind the last triangle. "He was a freak, Just Like Me" this last part is said facing away from the table.
"Amen" once you say that word the farthest triangle of cards falls and then the 3 pens.
You end their.
