Hi!
I'm currently trying out to work in a night club. I usually mingle with people standing in line outside the club. The problem is that now that winter is near, it is hard to peform some effects due to numb hands. I can do a few in a row but then I have to go inside to warm my hands Can you guys recommend any effects that can be performed wearing gloves? /Christian |

In a word? Mentalism. Lot's to do and nothing needed but your mind and voice.

Could you be more specific with material?
After talking to other magicians who have worked in clubs I've learned that mentalsim is not always a good choice since there is a lot going on around and since alcohol is involved. What are your thoughts on this? I'm looking for direct effects where sleight of hand is not as important. When I do table hopping Kolossal killer is one of my favorutes. Do you think I can make it work in a club environment? /Christian |

Christian, my Swedish amigo, do a search and see if you can find on line video of a fellow named Cardini. He performed a manipulation act so beautiful that it made him world famous and all with gloves on. He learned to work with gloves during World War 1 in the Trenches (he was from the UK) and since it was cold he wore gloves but still wanted to work with cards and coins.

Sorry I didn't get specific but once you see Cardini you'll realize most every card trick can be done with gloves on.
