Hi all
I am aware that there are several topics on different details of cruise ship work already in this forum but I am interested in what sort of show other experianced cruise performers offer. What sort of effects Play well? How many Illusions are practical and possible to take on? What sort of routines go down well for international audiences? I know that different situations and different cruise lines call for variations. Maybe some of you might like to discuss the content or flow of your show. I am aware that we all need to to safegaurd our acts, but general disscusion would help us understand what sort of tried and test material works on a cruise. Kind Regards Paul Dabek |

Hey Paul, How are you?
I second Pauls request and I'm sure many other Café members would also. Im just wondering is there anyone who does a full illusion show on board cruises or just a stand=up act highlighted with illusions? Cheers, Robert Temple |

Good question Rob!
I saw a review of a stage show on a cruise ship by a female artiste called deja vu, she had a lot of illusions. with a few smaller peices of magic set in for variety. It looked like a great show! Paul |

I saw Lavent on a ship a few months ago (he was excellent!). His stuff was more of the packs flat plays big variety. I would imagine the whole act would fit in a standard suitcase.

Paul,
I have read reviews of Deja Vu's act and seen photos but never seen the act. I think I read she's been in vegas recently. Which cruise ship did you see her on out of interest? Cheers, Rob |

Deja is a fly-on act for Carnival. She works on the Congest and Lives in Vegas. Wonderfully nice lady.

Everyone has their different styles but what sort of material do you guys thinks is a safe bet to work in the cruise situation.
I.e some ships have passengers of lots of different nationalities and it is better to work silently. I find by adding music (even if I am pattering) to a routine it means it is not so hard (or boring) for a spectator that doesn't speak my launguage. Also I always try to say goodevening in as many different laugages at the begining of my act so as to add a connection to all members of the audience no matter what their laqngauge. |
