Hi Jim,
I recently subscribed to "The Magic Menu" and find it to be a great tool for the working magician. I have always seemed to struggle with routining and wondered if you had any thoughts on the subject? Thank You, Tony

Routining is a slipperly slope in the world of restaurant magic because we're always being interrupted by one thing or another. This is also why long, complicated routines or tricks with elaborate presentations and storylines don't work that well, either.
I prefer to think of routining in terms of restaurant magic as to how I can get in and out of tricks easily and make each effect a closer if I have to (for example, say if the food comes). Also, think of routining in terms of prop management, also. For example, if using a gaffed deck effect, use another non-card trick as a buffer between the trick with the gaffed deck and one with an unprepared deck. |

I think I would be awesome at restaurant magic, then. I love to move around a lot, and I really get nervous trying to come up with elaborate storylines -- with as little performing experience as I have so far . . .
