Ok, I only wrote that once, but twice is fine. If you don't know that I'm editing the message (which was the same as above) to this one, well, now you do. Sorry, I don't know how to delete it.

Why not leave it with an opne prediction of something "that will happen" that they then discover at a later date etc...always a nice kicker having the audience react when they get home or at a bar later : ) keeps them talking.....

Do you mean something like Hoy's 'hurling the headlines'- I think that's great, but I agree with hoy that it should be a sort of encore. I'm not sure if it'strong enough to leave with, but it will be something nice as an encore or the lead up to the finale. I don't perform stage shows, but I do use they hurling the headlines on my friends and family and I have had some scary hits.

Thanks for the tips on the Carlyle Touch DVD, will get a copy ASAP. However i realised most of the stuff can be forced and i may as well go really clean and just write down the forces. Thanks anyway though! (Oh and PS, realised is NOT spelt with a Z)
