Hello guys I just wanted some advice on a talent show coming up on Oct 27th the winner get $250

I am a card, closeup, and mentalism kinda guy about 3 yrs exp

I have about 20 mins to perform I was thinking since i be doing this in front of a relatively large audience (it's at a restraunt) I would just do some mentlaism so it would b easier and no one would b missing out

I was thinking of doin the following tricks

Celebrity Baby Gag by Devin Knight
&
4th dimension by Bob Cassidy

Jus wanted some advice on this routine and some dos and donts

Thanks guys!
 
Just looking at the delux baby Gag. -it's really funny. But I feel there needs to be a payoff. I feel like you actually need to predict a celebrity. It felt anti-climactic that there was no actual prediction in the envelope. Maybe consider using a forc epad to make them choose a name that's in the envelope. I'm not familiar with the second routine, but I would hope it allows you to follow the celebrity reveal well. If not, I would find some way to reveal the first celebrity, and then 'take it a step further' with the second routine.
 
I was told 20 mins jus for me I have no idea how many people are in it
But yea Thts exactly how I'm doin the baby gag trick with The force pad n the celebrity picture kicker And 4 demension is 3 ppl think of a person or place n I read each of their minds. Lik a 3 ahead principle but bob Cassidy style
