What's a couple good routines for school?

seanybravo4 · Oct 17, 2008

Well lately I have been performing a lot at school. Since a lot of people know I'm the magician of the school I had a group of about 15 kids burning my hands from all angles. I need a really good trick for school that wont get hecklars ruining my routine. Please respond!

The only thing i can really suggest is LAPSE from daniel madison's DANGEROUS.Or in one of his Pdf's.
You just made me realize that i do alot of tricks that require a good deal of misdirection.I love using the gamblers cop though...
Also,i hope your performing of your own accord and not when your friends or whoever wants you to.

Here's a trick: practice dealing with hecklers. No matter what tricks you do, if you can't handle hecklers, it won't work. Perform on your terms, and practice until you don't have to worry about your sleights. Know your angles, use them, and practice your existing tricks so that you can deal with hecklers and they become your really great tricks you're after.

Try to perform when you feel like it not when someone tells you to. Beside that try the invisible deck as it always get good reactions.

Stigmata is good and can get everyone participating and very easy to do! But doing basics fo r school is good too, like ambitious card, colour changes worked into a mini routine very easy!

Also you could do some quick coin vanishes and productions. Trust me bro in school quick tricks are the way to go(at least for me they are)

irreversable, triumph, fork bending routines. but yea only do magic when you want to. if you dont feel like it then your magic will fail.

I do mentalism. They can't figure it out, but you have to have really good presentations.

I find, Digital Dissolve is an amazing trick to do in the hallways between classes.
