I recently joined a networking group that meets every week. During each meeting I give a thirty-second commercial for my magic business to a group of about forty people sitting at a couple of long tables. Several people have suggested that I include a quick effect each week; I figure that about ten seconds for the effect and twenty for the chatter is about right.
Obviously, if I do this I would prefer not repeating effect, or, at least, having several weeks intervene between repetitions. Obvious ideas would be silk productions or vanishes, coin productions or vanishes, maybe a quick Ninja Ring link/unlink. Any other suggestions? |

The tricks should be so quick that they are over before you even start! I'd suggest effects with little to no patter and a flashy finish.
Fire is always nice! Open your wallet, flames come out, close it and open it again to reveal some business cards which your hand out! I'd suggest a lighter on a p*** with a bit of f**** P**** in your fingers. You pass your hand over the lighter and it vanishes in a ball of flame. My what a lot of a*******s! I should **** and ***** before I *****! ******! Kennedy's card stab. Patter like this. "My name is S2000magician and I'm a magician so I'm afraid I'm going to have ask you to pick a card. I haven't got time to find it properly but let me take a stab at it!" I'd also suggest you check out the works of Jay Scott Berry. I dealer once described his lecture to me as "an act consisting of nothing but openers!" But its good flashy stuff! |

Do you know the one where you pull your thumb off?
No set-up or extra stuff to carry and can be performed in 10 seconds or less! :giggles: But seriously, Dancing wand or cane might be nice (10 seconds would be appropriate) floating bill or ring... if you could get a ring from someone "you sure this is 14 carats ?" it feels a little lighter to me... then separate hands as it floats for a second or 2 then return it. What can I say, I got into l**ps this year! Have fun whatever you do! GlenD

How about a quick PK effect with a business card or a flyer (pun intended)? There are zillions of ways to do it and it's very quick and visual.
Other than that I also backup the flash paper proposal - very quick and very visual. |
