I am requesting for the creative among you to help a fellow magi in need. You are indeed half way there if you are reading this so let's get on with it.
Have you ever performed a trick, finished with the climax, only to be met with cold, long, uncomfortable silence with the spectators among you simply unimpressed? Well i haven't!
Okay maybe i have, but thats not the point!
The point is: have you ever performed the same trick BUT you left a beat before the climax and have gotten great reactions? This is rather common. It is our job as magicians to ensure that the spectator's mind does not connect the climax with the method. This is also my problem.
I have been performing a torn and restored for some time now, many of you probably know it. I have just torn two cards and could easily reveal the reconstruction of one of them, but I have realised that the reactions i would get are a bit...weak. However i think it is a very good effect and one that simply requires an injection of time to delay the climax.
Many people might use flashpaper to create the diversion, this however is not always practical, therefore a cross is placed on that idea.
I thought about ending with the spectator holding the pieces but perhaps YOU have a better idea.
Release your thinking doves and enlighten me!
