Angel Zero is good
CAAN = soo fun to do
Shifty with ACR is aways good unless you have hecklers in the room

and you should do stigmata if it matches your style
and
things like bad influence, lapse .. etc from dangerous

I don`t know which trick should yo not but
i don`t recomend the cartoon deck.. beacause you will have to switch decks soo yeah..

And about the order:
i do not know
just make it flow

What type of setting is it? (table or walk-around?)
What type of environment is it going to be? (loud music, quiet, moderate, etc.)
What type of audience is it? (how old and how many?)
How long is your performance going to be?

Listen to Shanku those are very good questions and until then, I will not be able to tell you which effects are good to perform.

What Shanku said - you shouldn't perform Out of This World if you don't have a table, obviously - but it's probably too slow for a party anyway. If you're going walkaround, you want different types of tricks than if you have the stage for half an hour with a table and a camera.

1. i have a table

2. i think its moderate

3. people with the age of 30-40

4. ca. 15-20 minutes

thanks for helping

Well you didn't specify how large a crowd but here goes...

Do tricks such as Invisible Palm, Travelers (aka card to pocket) and collectors. These will play well for any audience (except huge stage - unless you have a camera with a projector). Throw in Angle Zero in there too.

Just a thought: Should you be performing for an audience in a week if you don't know what type of tricks to perform way beforehand?

Cheers,
Shanku

PS. I hope the performance goes well.

No, he definitely shouldn't - but that's probably not gonna help now.


1. Angle Zero - Yes. Be creative with where you put it.

2. ACR with "Shifty" - Depends how big the crowd is. If they're small enough to surround you in a layer one person deep, go for it. Otherwise the effect of Shifty is probably too small to reach all of your audience.

3. Revolver - Yes. Good effect that's big enough to be seen.

4. Cartoon Deck - No, the animation is too small.

5. Half Vanish - Yes, unless the audience is very large.

6. Mystery Card Variation - Yes

7. CAAN - Yes

8. Out of this World - No, too slow for this setting in my opinion. It's really a sit down effect, whereas all your other ones are pretty much standing up ones, or should be due to the performance situation.

9. Biddle - I'd say no, but I will honestly say that I'm a bit biased, I don't like Biddle.

In offering the above recommendations, I would also add three things: Firstly, they are recommendations only. Secondly, I'm assuming that you have complete mastery of all the effects listed. Thirdly - this advice could change depending on the number of audience members you have, and where you are performing - as in, can they all see you, are you elevated on a stage, can seating/standing room be elevated, etc.

 

[adjones]

Yes. Be creative with where you put it.

Ooooh... praetoritevong, you dirty boy.
