Advice on my routine: UPDATE!
Hey guys,
I have been stirring up a little routine lately and I would just like to tell you guys a little story first.
With my whole 6 years I have been into magic, i have never been so impressed with the magic that is comming out right now. We got control, fallen and then Daniel Madison's material and which have been great.
I am planning on purchasing Fallen and Control to add to my routine I have created and I would like to share it with you guys and maybe get some feedback.
Opener: Bound
Then go into an ACR involving another spectator
- Finish the ACR with either the Braue Pop Up move or fallen, pending on angles
Then finish them off with Stop and control, once again, stop is pending on whether it fits.
Now here is why i structured it this way.
Bound: This is an impossible effect that happens in the spectators hands, in my opinion, you can't get much stronger then a card appearing between a taped up box. This effect will warm them up and make them wanting to see more.
My ACR: A very nice and entertaining routine which is not to long and not too short. This routine is very visual and it is almost pure eye candy.
Control: Now with a closer, I really wanted to hit home, I feel control will do just that. Like Dexter said in one of the tralers, you step away from the cards and coins and get more into reality. That is just wanted, somthing to leave them speachless, I don't even really want a loud scream but more of a shocked or disbelief or even scared face.
Now the patter for this, I plan on going about that By using almost no patter with bound other then the following:
"Select a card"
"we will then lose it in the middle of the pack and also give it a quick shuffle"
"watch carefully as I place the deck in the box, also, make sure I don't do anything sneaky"
*Show all sides of the box*
"Now I would like you to open your hand and place the box between your two palms"
"Now watch this"
(Magical Gesture)
"Did you feel that?"
Spectator then opens there hands and finds that there card is "bound" to the box.
Right about here, the spectators freak because it all happened in there hand and everything was soo clean.
After that I would move to another spectator, maybe on the other side, just to work the audience a little bit. I would then go into my ACR standard patter about the card being ambitous and what not.
After My ACR was finished I will then go into control, and right about here I am guessing many of you are asking, "How the hell are you going to make this flow?". I would put away my cards and talk to them for a second, get to knwo them on more of a personal level, then explain that many people ask me if what I do is real magic or just illusion and what I like to do is a bit of both, some of what I do is real and others are just illusion. I would bring the mood into more of a serious setting to build suspense. What I am going to do is not illusion, no tricks, but more reality. Then go into control.
It is still in the brainstorming stages but I would really apppreciate to hear your guy's thoughts on it.
Talk to you all soon,
