Hey guys

I just wanted to ask for some opinions on something. In my mentalism act i do "Kurotsuke" by max maven. I frame it as psychological game as to figuring out who is thinking of the most disturbing thought (red ball = nice thought, black ball = disturbing thought). This is how i tell the audience what to think of.

"If you have a red ball i want you to think of something nice. something that makes you feel good. If you have the black ball i want you too think of something disturbing. It can be your grandparents having sex, the tulisa tape, stevie wonders eyes, I dont care but what every you find disturbing think of it."

The last stevie wonder bit always gets a groad and i want to make it something funny.

I wanted to get you guy's opinion as to what it could be.

Any ideas?

Think of me up on this stage, performing this trick with no clothes on.

All the best

If you have a red ball think of a pleasant memory, something nice, like the last time you had sex.

If you have a black ball think of an unpleasant memory, something shameful or embarrassing, like the first time you had sex.

I like this version.

Whichever venue you perform at--lines like-
'Grandparents having sex' & Stevie Wonder's eyes' WILL upset someone. A possible booker?

To most ordinary people--Grandparents are in a sort of cosy, loving, nostalgic niche.
and Never make fun of any person's afflications.

You will alienate someone at sometime and that could be fatal to reputation & bookings.

IF you must use the sex so called gag then use a topical person of the day--whom people either joke about already or a person's name that will not offend anyone.
As a politician--a celebrity who may be renowned for 'illicit sex, cheating etc.

My good friend, please heed the advise of Mr Tipton. Both the Grandmother line and that refering to Mr Wonder are wrongly placed. Perhaps a reference to the mother-in-law would be more apt as well as a comment of self-deprication as suggested by Mr Deano I'm certain would raise a chuckle or two from your gathered audience.

"If you have a red ball i want you to think of something nice. something that makes you feel good. If you have the black ball i want you too think of something disturbing. It could be a large bill.....delivered by your mother in law......on your day off.

SOMETHING NICE:
1 Winning the Euro Millions Lottery
2 Being told--No more income tax for you.
3 Being married or as a girl friend-- the latest beauty in the news.
4 Your age reduced to 24 for 90 years.
5 Winning a month's holiday in ??
6 Having good health ALL your life.

SOMETHING NASTY
1 A huge Income tax or electric bill arrives.
2 You get the mumps
3 You forgot to buy your Lottery ticket this week and your numbers came up
4 It rains all day, every day, for a full year.
5 You cannot drink anymore
6 You have to go on the Jeremy Kyle Show.
