One Cup

An easy cup routine with an "ungimmicked" chop-cup. It explores new possibilities using a different gimmick for more natural movements.

Out of This World X-treme

Axel Hecklau's version of a classic for extreme table hopping conditions. No table, no side switch, faster, and uses a borrowed shuffled deck

Cola Cap

Innovative, very visual, practical Cap in Bottle routine. (the "fooler" in the lecture)

Spoonaround

Pure comedy with a soup spoon in the mouth (the hit of Axel's first Germany lecture tour, "Effective" 2004)

Cue Control

Axel's proven system to cue music during a show by yourself. It is invisible for the audience and allows the performer complete and independent control - preventing mistakes by unreliable helpers. It makes it possible for solo performers to use music as an important stylistic and dramatic device.

... and many more if the audiance has enough energy
