Pretty basic but it is seriously hard hitting. Just give it a mentalism slant. The trick is finding an effect that suits your personality and putting yourself into the effect.
So just what are you looking to become? What's your current repetoire? If you're a card man, then an ID with a mental presentation might be ideal.CharmingCheat wrote:I am not looking to become a mentalist but it has always been an area of interest and I'm looking to expand my repertoire.
Seriously? I firmly believe you're looking at this entirely the wrong way. Simple in method, devious presentation is the way forward. By a long country mile, the strongest effect I'm currently performing is almost free of moves. There's a tiny tiny switch that is so miniscule I'm reluctant to call it a switch. The presentation though is thorough, involves the participant entirely and at the end has a kicker that literally puts jaws on floors. All with the easiest switch in the world.CharmingCheat wrote:Simple in presentation, I don't have a problem putting in the time for a difficult method if necessary.
Strangely enough there's a dark and slightly grisly effect in the current Mystic Menagerie entitled Two Headed Mutant Sponge Bunny of Death. Kid's magic it ain'tVanderbelt wrote:If you're a sponge bunnies kind of guy... well, you're on your own there
