Any good?

I saw this thread after I'd logged out for the evening (nice to see Iain back, even if it's only for a while).

I had two ideas, but magicdiscoman's posted one, which makes my choice much easier!

I think the centaur would perform 'Echo'.

The centaur brings up a celebrity volunteer (no stooging), a local football team's striker.

The centaur hypnotises the footballer, and sends the player's mind into the future, where he is asked to remember the word he sees. He is brought out the trance, and writes down what he saw.

Another member of the audience is given a free choice of page in a book, and selects an interesting word from anywhere on that page.

The freely chosen word matches the one written down by the footballer.

In summary:

The centaur sent a centre forward forward for a word.

This person is a brilliant communicator, though is proneto be quite self-critical. They are good at organising themselves and others, and their ability to communicate well obviously helps in this. They expect too much from relationships and set very high standards for their partner(s). They are very good with money, although sometimes they might be just a touch too stingey. They're very down to earth and have no belief at all in what they would regard as this kind of nonsense. They are very much a facts and figures kind of person.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Whatever the centaur does it'll probably be half assed.

Thank you and goodnight!

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

wandy, collins gem does a nice palm reading book, poket sized and with way to much imfo in it.

Well i think the cenatur should just do his regular sTable hopping set ....

Mind you shame we dont eat horse meat in this country or it would give a whole new meaning to the phrase "wanna grab some dinner and a show"....

take another wild guess at who else won't be winning!

i can neither confirm nor deny whether the young ian has a chance of winning or not yet...

keep 'em coming...if you can be arsed that is..

They quite like their music don't they, perhaps they'd have someone think of a tune and then play it on their pan pipes. Or maybe they'd do the good old dart card stab but with a bow and arrow.

The Amazing Sawn in Half...Metamorphosis centaur

The Centaur is lulled in to a hypnotic dream state with the aid of his beautiful female Pan assistant ( Top clothing garments optional )
playing a mesmorising lament on her pan pipes.

The Centaur is placed within a long wooden box with his head sticking out of the top and his four hoofs poking out of the four corners of the box,his beautiful Pan assistant then proceeds to saw the box in half - separating the two halfs showing that the centaur is really cut in half.

Two wardrobes are brought onto the stage,the lovely Pan shows the wardrobes to be empty and places the them a leg width apart from eachother then procedes to place each half of the sawn centaur still in his boxes into the empty wardrobes she has just shown.

The top part of the centaur in the left one and the bottom half in the right one - the Pan shut's the two warbrodes and locks them using a single very long arrow through a haspen lock sealing them both

The Pan then proceeds to cover the front of both wardrobes a satin red cloth and stands astride them shaking and shimmying the red cloth,in the blink of the eye the Pan raises the cloth above her head and no sooner is this done the cloth drops to the floor revealing a naked human Male standing on top of the left wardrobe and Red Rum standing on the right one........and the beautiful Pan assistant has vanished!

The Male quickly grabs the cloth to hide his embarrassment and holds it up over his head covering him and red rum out of view..in a split second the cloth again drops to the floor and reveals the Centaur standing astride both warbrobes

The Centaur then proceeds to break open the arrow seal & opens the two
warbrobes showing his beautiful Pan assistant in two halfs inside them,he then proceeds to push the two boxes together and reforms his Pan assistant whole again.

Both take a bow and exit stage left.


Note - I wonder if this routine would actually work
Im Just off to visit uncle Professor Digory Kirke, who lives in a country house in the English countryside with his housekeeper, Mrs Macready, as well as three servants called Ivy, Margaret, and Betty....im sure the old codger has got a spare wardrobe knocking about his gaff somewhere

** claps wildly .............

Fantastic stuff!

I confess I did sort of linger in thought a while towards the end of the first sentence...

A quick phone call to my uncle Professor Digory Kirke has saved me a trip to his country house in the English countryside - Sadly he went and traded the wardrobe on ebay to some user called....Queen Jadis, The White Witch for turkish delight

Caffa wins...

if you can pm me your email address - i'll send you a copy this week...
