Hello friends. I am interested to find new openers for a solo act.
OPENER which grab the attention. Usually I use the fire hat to dove.(the only negative factor is that I have to seat up and sometimes I don't have any cover for that, especially when I work in public spaces) I also use floating sunglasses.(the negative of this is that the thread is visible in day light because the sunglasses is kind of heavy and even the thread is invisible still can be seen) The best opener I use is vanishing cane to silks. (this is great because I can use it anywhere and also I can prepare this a long time ago at my house or in the car). Unfortunately this effect is a part of my act where I use it in the middle and I don't want to have it as an opener any more. some ideas that I have is: - torch to cane - gloves to flowers or doves QUESTION: what other effects do you know where can be good openers? I am interested most for an opener at a very strict environment BUT IF U HAVE ANY GOOD OPENERS FOR STAGE LET ME KNOW TOO.

Why do you not start with Candle to Dove?
Or Candle to silk to Cane, then Make a flash light and produce the dove... There are many interesting ways to open your show... REGARDS Nick Jegor |

Thanks for your input but since I already use this effects in my act I look for something else for an opener.

How about -
Kabuki Streamer Opening - pull streamer back and appear a cane and for a continuity of this 10 -15 seconds opening Stroke the head/top of the cane to appear a silk and then split the silk into 2 silks and from which you can appear a ... Dove, or Candle, or another Cane, or flower bouquet, or fountain silks, etc |

Are you in a tux and tails? Is this a classical act?
I say you produce a silk and go right into an effect where the silk is used? The pop silk production from Vito Lupo is beautiful, (you reach into the air and literally a silk materialises at your fingertips, looks so impossible) but you need sleeves that have some room... Simply come out smile at your audience, make eye contact, and as your scanning your audience to give everyone personal attention something catches your eye, you look closer and take a step forward, reach into the air and POOF a silk is seen hanging from your fingertips. You could even add a puff of fire, or smoke, or a flash of light for heigthened effect. DJ |

Considered Weller egg followed by silk to egg? Ending with real eggs is real magic! (And cheap!)
