Is there anybody left in Vegas that does NOT know all about "D-Lites"?
The last time I was there every Magic shop and cart in the hotels etc was demonstrating them and trying like crazy to sell those things. GlenD

Card on ceiling.............
how many times would you do it in one venue, on one night? when they see their card with another half a dozen scattered about, it must weaken the effect, or does it strengthen it... in a funny sort of way? cheers matt |

And for the finale, I do NOT do the double retraction move that everyone else does, but have a slow comedy move that I use to reel them in. The audience - and other magicians, seem to like it, too. I do a whole Abbott and Costello type bit in monologue about "this is the long of it and that's the short of it and now you know the long and short of it." It gets crazier from there, trust me. It's a short and sweet bit, which is great for a bar, because of short attention spans. It plays well because everybody on the other side of the bar can SEE them. And it is VISUAL magic. I honestly believe that the Sticks are one of the most underrated comedy magic bits out there. Bit I do get VERY tired of the "plucking a hair from the head" to get both strings to come back up" bit. That, to my way of thinking, is WAY overdone. Lee Darrow, C.H.

For a good resource on performing in loud clubs/venues where you won't easily be heard/effects which require no or few words check out the Cultural Exchange projects by Shoot Ogawa and Apollo Robbins.
