Hi there maybe you guys already seen this vid for the ones that did not

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx2gYy_e ... re=related

That trick i did yesterday with the same objects... but i dont like the objects because they are strange why those?

so i wanted to make my own selection of 3 items but what 3 items???

i was thinking about a

OLD KEY that belonged to one of the locks of Houdini
Maybe a SPOON or something but URI still alive.... so... that would be strange

does anyone have ideas ? 3 great items easy to gather/make

and the prediction :P write it on old crumbbled paper? in a little bag or necklace :P what do you think

I quite like the spoon idea. You can say you once had the pleasure of meeting Uri on a (plane/mountain/beach/brothel) and you got talking and he gave you a spoon to practice on. Beat it up a bit and explain how you never did manage to bend it, but you've always kept it as a souvenir.

One of Houdini's keys is also a nice touch. Or maybe a lock of white hair from Siegfried and Roy's tiger? Not sure on that myself, but you might like it.

if you intend to use a box, as in the clip, think of it as a jewelry box.
you can then have a ring, a neclace, and a broach.

If you think of the box, as a toy box, you have a car, a soldier, and a ball

If you think of it as a cabinet of curiosities, you could have a sea shell, an old coin and a tooth.

Identify what the box is, as thats in a way the most Illogical item in use, and you have the items, and the routine.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....

so far i tried it:D 8 times and got GREAT reactions... first 5 times with a black marmer box with a pentagram on it.. inside a little bag i got from bazara de magia .... on a shoelace with a prediction written on it on normal paper slip

3 objects a parker pen/ key/ and a coin

now got a new box with wooden carving :D

with a old rusty key/ a burnt ripped tarot card (the devil)/ and a coin..

also made the prediction more old looking burnt edges crumbled etc...



IM going to a fantasy shop this weekend:D gonna go for a

fantasy coin ...
an pendolum
and a old key/lock

also gonna buy an ouija board whooeoeoeoe

Ohh for the people that wanna know my routine...

I produce the box and give them the pouch with prediction... they put it in there pocket bra around there neck whatever... i pick up the objects and tell them a 1 minute story about every object and give the object to them for examination after the story...

i start with the key then the other object and when im done with the coin i french drop it and tell the spectators to also examinate the coin... when the reach out to get it from the hand THEY THINK its in i make a little gag about the coin thats still on the table.. (just casualy place it on table with the hand u french dropped it in..)
