Nursing Home Performance

[Fritts1223]

Kay, so tomorrow I am performing at a nursing home.
It was kind of a last minute thing.
The entertainment they had set up cancelled on them so they called me since I have performed there before.
I need help thinking of a quick 30 to 45 minute routine.

Remember that they are the elderly so some tricks will not be suitable.
Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks! :]

For some reason a lot of old people like card tricks. Do not do a transpo or something like that. They do not like quick flashy things like fire or disappearing

Elderly people that have no problem remembering or seeing things often like card tricks. I often recommend that people perform spongeballs for the elderly. They are large, easily visible, and fun. Coin tricks may come into play also.

Definetly do card tricks. Elderly love them. Do things that are interesting but not to complicated. I definitely reccomend something like an ACR and other Audience-Involved tricks like the biddle trick and maybe a mystery card. Other than card tricks, sponge balls is good. I wouldnt go with coins though because coin routines can often get very confusing.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
