my act in competition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok guys, I am going to be competing in a magic competition. I have a good act together, I just need some feedback on what you guys think. This is my first competition so I will admit I am kind of nervous but anyways it will go like this. My theme is time.
TO START OFF I WILL HAVE A TABLE SET UP WITH A COUPLE CHAIRS FOR SOME SPECTATORS TO SIT AND WATCH A LITTLE CLOSER. TO START OFF I WILL PERFORM THE MUSCLE PASS TALKING ABOUT HOW SOMETIMES YOU CAN REVERSE TIME. I WILL THEN PERFORM A FEW COIN VANISHES AND APPEARANCES TALKING ABOUT HOW IT TAKE TIME FOR COINS TO TRAVEL AND EVERYTHING. ONE OF THE SPECTATORS WILL HAVE A WATCH ON AND I WILL STEAL HIS WATCH AS I DO DIFFERENT COIN SLEIGHTS. I THEN WILL PERFORM A TRICK THAT I LOVE CALLED DIVINE TIME( YOU HAVE A BAG OF WATCHES WITH ALL DIFFERENT TIMES ON THEN AND YOU HAVE A SPECTATOR PICK ANY WATCH AND YOU NAME THE TIME- GREAT TRICK) . AFTER THAT I WILL PERFORM A TIME MAGIC TRICK WITH CARDS, I BELIEVE I LEARNED IT FROM ONE OF THE LOOPS DVD'S (WHERE THE SPECTATOR CHOOSES A TIME AND WHATEVER TIME THEY CHOSE THEY TAKE THAT MANY CARDS OFF THE TOP OF THE DECK AND CUT THEM TO THE BOTTOM. YOU THEN MAKE A CLOCK OUT OF 12 CARDS AND NAME THEIR TIME AND YOU HAVE A PREDICTION WRITTEN DOWN OF THE CARD THAT FALLS ON THAT TIME. THEY CARD AND PREDICTION MATCH) FOR THE LAST PART OF THE ACT I WILL PRESENT A WATCH THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN AND STUCK ON A SPECIFIC TIME. I WILL THEN PRESENT A CIRCLE AND A HOLE PUNCH. I WILL MOVE THE HOLE PUNCH ALONG CIRCLE AND PUNCH A HOLE WHEN ONE OF THE SPECTATORS SAY STOP-completely free choice I THEN FLIP OVER THE CIRCLE PAPER AND SHOW THAT IT IS A CLOCK AND THE TIME THEY SAID STOP ON IS THE TIME THAT THE BROKEN WATCH HAS BEEN STOPPED ON. THE WATCH IS IN FULL VIEW THE WHOLE TIME.
I think that this routine has cards, coins, and a little mentalism in it, I know they are all really different but I think that the time theme keeps it all together well. Please let me know what you guys think about the routine, can I make it better? Is there things that I should take out?
Thanks in advance for your help.
