Gig

Postby ultimatecreate » Jun 17th, '07, 02:29



Doing Oz P's Ambitious C routine for a gig in London on the 14th a few days back. Did the third part of the routine (where you give top half to spec and keeping second pack in your hands, making their card jump from middle of yours to top of theirs) All cards signed of course, but when I told her to turn over her top card (being the signed one), instead of turning over the top card, she turned over the whole pack. The bottom card had been signed 'Abi' - the girls name. Never spoken to her or did not even know her name as she signed the card 'hello'. Then proceeded to get her to turn over the ACTUAL top card.

Absolute magic. :D VERY pleased with myself. Milked the reaction for allllllll that bad boy was worth.

Just thought you should know.

That's great! What a coincidence. Is Abi a common name here you were performing? If not, then you just got yourself another booking in the future for sure!

I actually use the Oz ACR but find that this is the weakest phase of the whole routine so you came up trumps there :lol: . The rest I find to be strong

Really? Think it depends of the person, I have some people shrugging their shoulders over the erdnase change and literally shitting themselves with excitement on the third phase.

Brill huh :D Abi is not really a common name in the UK. I think its actually normally spelt Abbey.

I find that the Erdnase always fries them.

It's just that by the time that you get to the phase where you pass half of the deck to the spec, they're already expecting the card to be on their pile which I find disapointing, despite that they can't understand how it got there.

The card to mouth is a great part and again, always fries them and gets a laugh as well :lol:

Card to mouth is killer. Had a few friends at this gig and one of them followed me around for some time. He watched the card to mouth 3 times and while i wasnt performing for personally (he was only overlooking from the outside) I nailed him each time and each time he laughed harder.
