Thanks a lot for the responses . Usually my style of show is ( dont know if this is my confidence issue, but worked well many times ) : I used to make my show lengthy with my interactive magic like below : ( This always gave me good response)
Interactive Magics :
- Marked Card clubbed with calling a friend of mine
- I can I can't - For this effect I call one spectator and ask him if he can bend a steel spoon his mind's power. He will say No. Then I will
if he can bend a picture of fork . Answer : No. Then I will tell him because of his attitude he came weak, etc etc . Then I will use non-tearable paper torn form a pad , writes "I CAN'T" on one side and he won't be able to tear it. Then I will do some talks , empowers him , do some magical stuffs. then the steel spoon will be already bent in his pocket. The fork picture is already bent ( Bending fork picture magic) . Then finally I will write "I CAN" on one side of the paper and ask him to try to tear - He tears it ( through the slit already made)
- Diamond pip card
- Magician's Insurance Policy
- Inject 2.0 - Newly added item in my list . I will call two spectators A and B. will ask A to launch
www.google.com in his phone's browser and think a word about B and search it. I will use the meaning of that word to emotionally connect A's mind with B. Then I will look A's phone and searched word and make the google page clear ( home page of google) . Then I will give A's phone to B and ask B to touch that phone some time and place it upside down. B will then select a card from my deck of cards without looking into that card B will place the card also upside down near to phone. No one knows what card it is including magician. Then I will ask B to give his phone. I will launch google page in B's phone and give that phone to A. A will search a word about B. that is it....Magic is done. B's selected card's image will come in A's phone google image page ( placed upside down). And A's searched word will be predicted by Me. So far this got good response. But not sure it will work with large group. Because when I showed this in front of 300 people 40-50 % people got distracted( There were no LCD screens to project) . Finally the selected will disappear from deck and I used to produce it from my fire wallet as burned.
- Slush powder water vanish with one kid called from Audience with some comedy - I like this always
So the above kind of magics are my favorites and I am comfortable to show. But as there is nothing visual I will add some items alternatively or after two or three interactive magics just to show them I am a magician as everyone is now behind mentallis,. That includes below :
- TT silk streamer with kerchief
- Dove pan with dove in India. In US i never performed with Doves so usually use flower fountain and silk streamer
- Balloon Silk frame
- Aqua change vase
- Mouth Coil Mylar
- Polka dot silk
- Gift Cube boxes from Empty paper bag
- Multiplying bottle
- Umbrella production - from belt
- Instant appearing tie ( Not an usual item for me )
- Mirror Production Box
So I explained these just to give an idea about myself. I felt like for the upcoming opportunity if I am going with my interactive magics It won't add much values. Also it will take more time. Always I used to show for 30-40 magics so that I can adjust my show with my interactive mentallism and conjuring. But here I am little bit confused. I can show the able visual ones. But I am feeling like it is little bit outdated. Also wondering if I need to invest in more as this show is a kind of advertisement and will give me more birthday magic and I won't get paid for this big event. Please advice. I am feeling to proud to be a new member to this group. I was following this for years to read the reviews , but recently became the member.
I have one month to prepare
The ones I bought and never/rarely performed
- Pro thumber
- Taratula
- Racer Wallet
- Eternity - performed one and got good response
Thanks and Regards
