Hi there folks.......

As some of you may be aware of I had a gig at a nightclub last weekend!

The issues I found were obviously the noise of the music, although this wasnt to much of a hinderance it was a pain having to explain stuff at the top of my voice.....

What Im looking for, for my next appearance at the club in 2 weeks is some new material that highly visual and doesnt need much speech!

A small list of your favs would be great please...

Thanks peeps x

(not dlites as I use these already)

Glowing zombie ball?
Or you could learn to contact juggle

The following are the effects I tend to do in loud enviroments where patter must be kept to a minimum.

Ninja rings
Fibre Optics rope routine
fork bending
Slydini silks
crazymans handcuffs
3 fly III
spongeball routine
Raven coin vanish off the specs hand

sponge balls or silks can work brilliantly in a noisy environment

Just as a thought, have you thought of painting your coins with UV paint for in the clubs???

Ooooh im a little excited by that

Would look great with a muscle pass, but youd have to make sure any coin sleights are rock solid, because a flash with a UV coin would be quite visual

I've done this befor and it does not work well. I got some ghosts cards purely because I thought it'd make for some good tricks in the clubs I was working at, it did, in a flourishy kind of way; So I thought I'd try it with some coins too and UV'd up some poker chips. note: you cannot hide in a palm a coin that is glowing! similar principal applies to backpalming a UV reactive card, we had a good laugh about it at the time but it does limit what you can do (or at least it does for me, how am i supposed to do ANY coin work when I can't palm the thing? Gah!)

But if you're just going to do some (non palming) flourishy stuff then getting some UV reactive cards/paint could be a very good idea.

I took my Ghost cards and totaly forgot to even get them out dammmitttttttt........I will remeber for next time! dur forgot they were U.V !!!!!!!!

You must excuse my ignorance but arnt Ninja Rings just linking rings with a different name ?

Yep, but they are small enough for close up

I like the rope idea...I take it these are UV ropes? I saw Craig Petty doing some stuff at the NEC with ropes, was nice.....

I like stuff that doesnt look like your using odd props....so although Ive got linking rings I wouldnt use because the average Joes doesnt carry around huge rings in their pockets.........although a sudden thought! Linking Chav gurls hoop earrings would be a laugh lol, Im so copyrighting that "Chav Hoops" lol

Ha! "Chav Hoops" great idea!!!!

I know Jay Sankey has a version of the linking rings that is done with key chain rings, I can't remember what they are called but it moves away from the "why are you carrying those giant rings" question, but then again how many 'normal' people usually have a deck of bikes or some rope on them?

So you find a hen party, and ask four girls for their hoop earrings ....
BIG BA DA BOOM.....

Now ropes, there's a brilliant idea. I'd imagine that white ropes would glow beautifully in a club. I might even try that out myself this weekend.
