I still need help, please reply guys
I've had a bit of experience in this department, mostly with larger illusions BUT. . .
The first thing that must be considered is the actual piece;
* What Materials/Props Are Used
* What's the Storyline Behind the Effect?
* Is There a Cultural Background to the Bit?
With the larger scaled illusions I've worked on the solutions were simple "Shadow Vision" was so named because the casting of a shadow was a big part of the effect. Kenny's "Impalement" was again, simple to name because of the key thing that happened in the effect which ties to my own "Joker's Wild" and "Gypsy Hand" routines. In each example we're looking at the things set into the effect itself and in the case of Joker's Wild & the Gypsy Hand, we have a back-story that sets the mood around the illusion.
I've been playing with a new effect recently that was just named (like two weeks ago) "The Angle Box". I'll not go into too much detail, but it gets its name from the fact that the
Kabalistic Sigils representing the Archangels of the 4 quarters (north, south, east & west) are carved into (burnt) the old box being used.
The effect itself exploits the legendary power of these angels and their ability to contain and imprison malevolent entities . . . the box in question being akin to the sci-fi ghost collection box used in Ghost Busters, just more primitive.
Another example however, is a Rapping Hand I developed some time back, that is named after a very real Egyptian High Priest; the box that holds the hand is obviously, Egyptian and so it makes sense that I borrowed from that culture and the main character in the back story for the name of the effect . . . had I leaned on Native American or Japanese cultures the name would come from those influences instead. . . in that I'll never change the background of this effect to be anything other than Egyptian there is no reason to worry about those other elements. If I were to do so however, and the routine and packaging was the same, then the new version would have its culturally appropriate name with a foot note or secondary heading that denotes the effect it is based on.
So look at the effect you are trying to create and ask yourself what the best, easy to remember name is that fits said piece. Maybe jot down five or six different names and narrow that list down either by way of vote/opinion of a few trusted souls, or simply by way of your own habit and how you refer to the effect over time.
If the effect is a variation to someone elses piece you can always incorporate their name into the effect name such as we find in bits like
Einstein's Quandary or
The Trick That Fooled Houdini.
Think about it, you already have the solution to this question you've just got to trust your gut.
