Tricks to perform whilst standing

Postby leighton » Jul 12th, '06, 13:24



Hellp people,

I have a straight forward question for you:

What tricks are good to do whilst standing up without the use of a table?

I find it difficult to perform most of my tricks without a table, and seeing as it is not convieniant to carry one about with me all the time, do you have some sugestions for me to try? I would like to be able to do a small routine whilst standing or walking around, any help would be most appreciated.

I made my wife dissapear just by arguing with her!!!

most of my tricks are done standing - what would the setting be? inside or outside? when inside I tend to do things such as ambitious card, triumph, jokers wild e.t.c

Love

Dr Daley's ace effect is a good standing routine. I usually start out by saying people dont let me play poker because strange things happen and start with 1 card poker, then go onto daley

not a fan of sigs, so I won't bother adding o..... oh

D'lites :D

Or, if you're female, going to the loo standing up is quite a good party trick :O with or without the table.

Or try mixing Dlites with a spongeball routine. Fantastic visuals...

Check out Born to Perform, Oz Pearlman, I don't think he uses a table for any of his tricks on there and shows you how to use the spectators hand as a table when needed
