RealityOne, I am looking for a good trick to end my Edinburgh show with this August. I'm asking now so I can practice!
When it comes to experience I've been working cabaret clubs for the best part of 2 years ending with a rope escape, however I'd like to do a more magic ending as the show I'm devising will mostly have magic in as apposed to my usual Freak Show stuff, although that will be making an appearance.
Character on stage is fun and outlandish, and I tend to wear flamoyant shirts and green eyeliner, with sometimes a fedora hat.
Budget currently is anything below or around £150. It will only be a cabaret venue that I wil be performing in (I know because I've been to check it out) so nothing to dwarf the stage, but something that plays big.
Rick, I did used to do a call back thing where I got them to choose an envelope at the start from 5 different ones and throughout the performance I'd get audience members to pick a newspaper report and a business card, then at the end of the show in the envelope was the newspaper report that they chose with the name of the business from the card incorporated into the report. It was good, but I'd like to think of something more visually appealing to do.
Thanks!
