I'm pretty new. Would appreciate comments from you guys about my routines. Thnkx a lot. :unsure:

eh??no perform appearing cane??hehe... :P

nice day,

Dunno how 2 do it yet. Thanks anyway.
Still polishing my routines. :rolleyes:

How long is the whole performance
you've got quite a list there
do your routines flow nicely from one to another?
What kind of theme are you planning to present your routine in?

I hink the 3 uneven ropes thingy is called the Professor's Nightmare.

i notice you got a mixture of stage and close up effects there.
Close up effects are not gonna work unless you intend to do table to table or have a big screen with a handheld camera to follow you.

And your cameraman, if possible, preferable is a magician as well. He will know what to shoot and what not to.

I agree.... :)

Only one card effect? Aces to Kings transpo? That and Paper to money is the only close up right effect rite?

All the best in ya routines....

how many ppl is attending the annual dinner? some of the tricks that list there is for close up... if its 30 - 50 ppl...i suggest do rope trick , cut n restore, then ask a audience tie u up , n escape ... or bra trick maybe? its a very nice trick . all my friend love it ...hahaha... or maybe zombie? or dancing cane?

Thanks a million to all u guys there for your suggestions. There'll be about 90-100 ppl during d dinner at Sunway Hotel, Pg then. I'll have to redo my list. :D

Reevaluate your routines, cus some is just proper for stage, while the rest is close up. You don't want people to get headache from numerous switching from live to camera, you know what I'm saying? It's like at one point, people look at you on the stage, and on the next effect, people have to see the screen because the 80th person in the back is having sore eyes cus the damn bill to-be-switched is just too small to see.

You might also wanna think about the continuity of your routines too. I don't know how silk and money > aces and kings > joined necklace can be streamlined. But if you're confident and know how, more power to you dude :)

U can do the double rice chinese bowls??? Wait, i wonder if i know the same thing.......

Is it the one where u double the rice from 1 bowl into the other??? and make it into liquid?? Hope u can answer my question, pm me if u don't feel like posting it up public!!!

Thanks dave!!! Well, ur routine would go well if ur doing from table to table, but to impress a huge audience, maybe an illusion big stage kinda thing? Just my thoughts..............

I just realized...I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I really need to brush up on my magic.

Kam, gimme lessons?

You're right. The Chinese Bowls Trick is first to double d uncooked rice, then turn it into water. Still practising it so as not to spill any drop. Wish me luck. Thanks 4 all d replies & advice. My D- day is this Friday at Sunway Hotel, Pg. :rolleyes:

Let us know how it went ok?

Instead of linking chains, i suggest linking / unlinking safety pins

About my outing during the annual dinner, everything went pretty alright. They were quite impressed with my ring escape tricks. They've asked for a similar show next year. Need to think up new tricks, though.
Thanks for all the advice, buddies. :rolleyes:
