Michael Kras On Stage... A Different Side Of Me

[Michael Kras]

Here's Part One of a set of two videos, depicting my performance on stage this past Tuesday at the IBM Ring 49 Christmas Party, to which many laypeople were invited and it was a packed audience. I would love to hear your comments, feedback, suggestions, anything of the sort! Enjoy, and thank you.

That was great. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not take this offensive but I have seen you on youtube all over before, why does everyone know you so well already? He said in the beginning you arealready known world wide. Once again please do not take this offensively.

 

[tally-ho]

good job, great performance. you seemed very natural on stage.

 

[Michael Kras]

Thank you for your compliments .

And magicman1212, the MC was probably referring to people that know me from my released work and Youtube videos. But he also likes to embellish a bit, especially when it comes to me. For example, when we meet in public and there are others around, he plays it tongue-in-cheek and acts like I'm God . He's just a good friend from the magic club.

And NO, he doesn't actually dress like that he has done a comedy bit before my act in which he played the part of a nerd.

 

[Donald C.]

OH ok thanx for clearing that up

 

[RickEverhart]

I really liked the rope routine. You do seem pretty natural up there and it looks like you were having fun. Nice job.

 

[Michael Kras]

Thank you reverhart!

Ooh, very nice. You seemed very confident. I liked it.

 

[Retype.SW]

Seems like you had a very young audience! Am I right in thinking you weren't expecting that!?

Very good job though, seems like you got through it just fine.

 

[Michael Kras]

You are spot-on in thinking that... it was a show at IBM Ring 49, I expected some kids but not kids as young as 3, 4, 5, or 6 years of age. However some sort of youth group was invited, and they made up half of the audience. 30 screaming little kids! But, I feel like it went well and am happy with my performance.

 

[Retype.SW]

I feel like it went well and am happy with my performance.

You should be! I think kids are the hardest audience to perform for, so you did very well indeed. I certainly would have been bricking it if I were you

 

[Dylan P.]

Very nice Michael. I think that you were very natural on stage and worked with your audiance in a great way. I really liked part one a lot but the second part lost my interest because it was a bit too drawn out for my taste. Good though.

By the way. Where can I buy that rope trick I have always wanted to perform it but can't find the right resource. Any suggestions?

[Michael Kras]

I routined the rope trick of myself using moves that can be found on Richard Sanders' Fiber Optics DVD. Thank you!

 

[Michael Kras]

I would also love to hear some more thoughts on Part Two... it would be amazingly appreciated. Thank you!
