depending on what I'm doing I use Spyro Gyro's morning dance, particularly for doing rope tricks. This piece just flows without distracting from what you're doing and if you have a routine that also flows then I've found this to be a good combination.

Would love to find some tricks that work well with Black Sabbath though :wink:

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

Have a word with Simon Drake, perhaps. He did that show with Iron Maiden, after all. :)

Bizarre magic and illusions might fit in with that sort of stuff.

I have never used music.

i like to have some music to enter to as it can help with timing and setting up as it keeps the audiance intrested! at the moment i am using "magic" by "pilot" from the 1970's
its a nice track as it mentions magic i then go on to queens magic and then if i am feeling really brave i go on to

If you work at a more relaxed pace, try the Barry Manilow original as it's a wee bit slower. I'd really love to suggest 'Knees Up Mother Brown' but I won't.

I don't think that I have any tricks that would suit Black Sabbath music although they're one of my all time fave bands (showing my age now).

Incidentally, I was going through my music collection with the magic theme in mind and it's surprising how many artists have released songs with the word magic in the title.

My faves are Magic by the Cars, Magic is Loose by Roger Taylor (Queen's drummer) and Santana's Black Magic Woman
