Is it worth it?

Postby Beardy » Jul 14th, '06, 10:34



I am thinking, for my next magic gig (a walk around, table hopping wedding) to put in a new effect as my opener - Gregory Wilson's "Heavyweight Boxing". It is probably the best opener that I can think of doing, and one of my favourite effects to date - though it has a reset (only 10 seconds worth - but still a reset). Is it worth it, to reset it in my suit jacket, before I move on to the next table? I guess it sholdn't matter, but I am wondering what you guys think, as a fair few of youhave more experiance in this kind of matter.

Love

Well, I openly set stacks under the cover of wondering how the previous effect happened, so I can't see a problem with this. I think you should practice it first though, so that it looks like you're doing something innocent; maybe fishing about to find your phone to see if you have a message, perhaps?

that is a good idea - though Seige showed me something new I can incorporate into my acts - outsmokin! It is absolutely superb!
