"That
Sneaky Magician Guy"
 |
Magic,
Right Under Your Nose
This is for the times when a loosely
structured performance is desired. It's suitable for company
picnics, cocktail hours, happy hours, hospitality rooms, etc. The
repertoire is so vast that I've been known to perform for over an
hour, without repeating a trick. This can be performed in
conjunction with one of my standup shows.
I cause a finger ring to be trapped
on a string, while someone holds the ends. I then make it come free
of the string, despite the fact that the ring and string are
examined by the audience and the ends are being held. The finale
even makes magicians take notice, when a knot magically appears,
holding the ring on the center of the string! |
| I have an audience member
peek at any playing card in the middle of the deck, eliminating any
possibility that I could see the card. The deck is immediately
shuffled by them. When I take the deck back, I ask them if they're
satisfied that the seven of clubs is lost in the deck, proving that
the shuffling was in vain. I have someone else peek at another card
and shuffle the deck. I take a card from the deck, but it's not the
card that he peeked at. I look at the card, trying to figure out
what went wrong. When I turn it back around, it has changed to their
card. I then make it even harder for myself, when I find a card that
they merely thought of!
I bring out a couple of sponge
rabbits. They're my "low-maintenance" rabbits. The comedy
begins when I get Peter Rabbit confused with his wife, Gladys. I
then hand Gladys to one of the members of the audience. Peter
disappears from my hand and appears with Gladys, in the spectator's
hand! Obviously, they were interrupted when she opened her hand. I
place the two rabbits on someone's hand. She says the magic words
and feels something growing in her hand. When she opens her hand,
Peter and Gladys jump out, along with several baby rabbits! I tell
her she might want to wipe off her hand.
