Hello Friends,
I am in need of some advice on a small gig I am doing for a friends restaurant.
My friend owns a restaurant and they are going to have a comedian do a show and wanted me to do some magic (5-10 minutes) before to warm up the audience.
I have never done magic like this before, I am mostly a strolling walk around kind of guy. Almost all of my material is close up and as I said before I have close to no experience outside of close up.
I was thinking of something along the lines of 3 trick: Fast opener (bottle production?), Some kind of smaller but fast-ish effect for the middle, and a take on a Gene Anderson torn and restored newspaper with the comedians name reveal as a finish.
Sorry if Im beating a dead horse but I am a bit nervous about doing it since they are very close friends of mine.
little more info: They want me to do it the first Wednesday in may so I have some time to practice anything new so not looking for anything too complicated. I have already told them I am a bit nervous and it is out of my element and they said they don't care and just want me to be apart of it and to have fun. Finally, I don't think I have to mention this but want to try and answer any and all questions ahead. I will do it for free so of course I am not charging my "walk around" fee for the event.
Thanks again and I appreciate any and all Input!
