So for the past few weeks there has been numerous announcements about the "Talent Showcase" , talent show, that will be held at my High School on January 28, 2009. At first I didn't want to do it because I really like doing close-up tricks and I don't know any really great stage effects. But, after my teachers and friends, and random kids telling me to do it I decided to try it. So I went to my animatioin teacher who is running it and asked if there would be any way to do card tricks during the show, so together we came up with a plan.
When I come up on stage to do my act a table wil be brought out for me to work on. In addition, either a person with a video camera or a tripod with a video camera on it will be placed on or around the table. The camera will be hooked up to a laptop and a projector. The tricks will be projected onto a large screen behind me. That way the whole auditorium of about 500-700 people will be able to see the amazing card tricks. Tomorrow I will be seeing him after school to do my audition. hopefully I make the cut.
**********************************************************
My act will consist of 3 card tricks. altogether they will last from about 7 - 10 minutes. The all flow smoothly together. The entire act is as follows:
1: I introduce myself. (Half the school already knows me)
2: A teacher helps by picking a card and I do the finger print smear trick from the ultragaff.
3: I then follow up by using that same, now blue deck, to perform David Stone's Travelers.
4: I then proceed to use the Aces in my own variation of Grandpa's Aces. (Dream of Ace's)
NOTE I: The first two effects use patter. The last effect, Grandpa's Aces, is going to use no patter and instead play one of tw songs. I haven't decided yet. It will either play: "The Love Theme From Cousin's" (like copperfeilds) or "Mad World" by Gary Jules.
NOTE II: For those that are wondering, the first place talent show winner gets a check for 200$.
