I don't say a word, but usually start immediately with something strong. People are so accustomed to being talked at or listening to patter, that leaving out seems to make an impact. At least for me, anyway.

In order to "get" what I do 1st you have to know my character. I am very dark and creepy. The spotlight comes up and I am glaring out into the audience. I stand there for just a breif second longer than the audience is comfortable with, and then I do a "Hannibal Lecter 'Ftftftftftftft'". It gets a huge laugh. Then I say:
"While attending a physics symposium in Las Vegas one year, Albert Einstein, to the astonishment of many of his sober-minded colleagues, spent a fair amount of time at the craps and roulette tables. "Einstein is gambling as if there were no tomorrow," an eminent physicist remarked one day. "What troubles me," another replied, "is that he may know something!" Knowing the future has always been a dream of man’s. What is problematic with making any kind of prediction is that if I said to you, “Tomorrow you will be in a car accident”, and in fact you did indeed get into an accident, skeptics would say, “Well, that is just a coincidence.” On the other hand, others would say, “It was fate. The man predicted correctly.” Tonight we will have a test of coincidence and fate. In the 1930s, at Duke University in North Carolina, J. B. Rhine and his wife Louisa tried to develop psychical research into an experimental science. To avoid the connotations of hauntings and the seance room, they renamed it "parapsychology." While Louisa Rhine concentrated on collecting accounts of spontaneous cases, J. B. Rhine worked largely in the laboratory, carefully defining terms such as Extra Sensory Perception etc. and designing experiments to test them. A simple set of cards was developed, originally called Zener cards — now called ESP cards. They bear the symbols circle, square, wavy lines, cross, and star; and those five symbols are repeated five times to make up a deck of 25 cards. In a telepathy experiment the "sender" looks at a series of cards while the "receiver" tries to name the symbols. To try to observe clairvoyance, the pack of cards is hidden from everyone while the receiver tries to determine the symbol. To try to observe precognition, the order of the cards is determined after the guesses are made. In all such experiments the order of the cards must be random so that hits are not obtained through systematic biases or prior knowledge. The cards are shuffled. An advantage of ESP cards is that statistics can easily be applied to determine whether the number of hits obtained is higher than would be expected by chance. Rhine used ordinary people as subjects and claimed that, on average, they did significantly better than chance expectation. Later he used dice to test for psychokinesis and also claimed results that were better than chance." I then go right into my effect, Coincidence & Fate. |

I say good evening and let them know I am there to entertain them. I also let them know I will not embarrass them so I can get them on my side immediately. I also let them know we are going on a journey of mind experiments and some experiments may not work but that they will hopefully be entertained. If that doesn't work I do my best Hanibal Lecter cold reading and go fffffffffff.

Good evening. I know what you are thinking right now. Some of you are thinking, "MY GOD! HE'S FAT! -- You should have seen me a few months ago. I tried Cortislim for three months. I lost a hundred and thirty one dollars."

Good one Bill. I will try replacing a few words:
Good evening. I know what you are thinking right now. Some of you are thinking, "MY GOD! HE'S BLACK! -- You should have seen me a few months ago. I tried Michael Jackson's skin bleach for three months. I lost a thousand dollars." |
