Same sort of ones as me by the sounds of things :wink:

Anyway, back on topic...
I used to have crowds of people watching me dance at clubs because I'd use my d'lites to pull a light from the DJs lights and then throw them around and generally incorporate them into my dancing... Once I'd finished or fancied a rest I'd then go and stick the light back - normally to applause and people offering to buy me drinks :twisted: 8)

If you're really nice, I'll even go dig up the video...

Cheeky cheeky :wink:

Anyways, as promised, the d'lites stuff.
It's not great I know and the original file sharing post pointed out many of it's shortcomings, but you'll get the idea.

I won't say I told you so...oops :D

In similar sitations I use the Fibre Optics rope routine, sponge balls, silk & TT routine & fork bending. You can mime what you want the spectator to do if they are involved and make sure you over-emphasise/mime looks of amazement on your own face when the magic happens.

To take out a deck of cards in a night club is ludicrous as far as im concerned,i think it seems geeky.

i think that off the cuff spontaneous effects work best,as if ya just though ''hey ill show ya this trick''

Also do the ''1-2-3 throw over shoulder'' trick with a folded in quater beer mat.Its fools the whole crowd gathered around ya and ya dont have to worry about whos drink it lands in cause you didnt throw it ;)

The Cultural Xchange dvds have some good stuff as Disco mentioned, beware though some of it is gosh darned angly. Very direct though, there's a couple of nice packet transpos in the spec's hands for example. There's nowt wrong with an ACR in a loud enviroment, no need to speak just crack on with it, they'll get the idea.

Is it just me or is there a scary likeness between Richard Sanders in the Fibre Optics dvd and Ross out of Friends?
