Dick Oslund Inner circle 8357 Posts	Posted: Mar 31, 2014 12:33 pm 0 Yes~~! I saw Nate Staniforth's college concert show awhile back. (about 350 in the audience) He did an hour, and carried the props in his pockets. His CLOSER was the Gypsy Thread! He killed with it! SNEAKY, UNDERHANDED, DEVIOUS,& SURREPTITIOUS ITINERANT MOUNTEBANK

Mary Mowder Inner circle Sacramento / Elk Grove, CA 3661 Posts	Posted: Apr 11, 2014 07:37 am 2 I have one patter based on string theory, one based on a string of bad luck and silently. You've bought some versions that you are allowed to use to start with. It might not be a popular idea but I think it will save some uncomfortableness on the part of early audiences (and you) to use someone else's general performance as a guide at first. Do the effect for a while and get comfortable with the handling. Then think of several things that make a whole in your own life. If nothing comes to mind from your life just try for the category and the practice may lead you back to something you would feel natural talking about. 3 Branches of Government 4 seasons Departments in a company Kingdoms of living things members of a family Teams in a league Fruits in a salad members of a band Pick a couple of interesting directions and give writing a try. You've heard enough versions so you have some idea of the structures patter lines are apt to take. The plot can be as simple as the effect or you can "spin a yarn" so to speak. Your first tries will probably be awkward but you have to work through it or it's going to be "other people's patter" for ever. -Mary Mowder Elk Grove Magician Magician in Sacramento
CHRousseau Regular user Registered Lurker from Lakewood WA 120 Posts	Posted: Apr 13, 2014 06:28 am 1 RON SAYLOR of LA was performing at Wizard's Theater in Orlando, FL and I asked him to include his tribute version to Alain Choquette's poetic interpretation found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq1VavZvfPs of the Gypsy Thread for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. A consummate artist and gracious gentleman, he gave them front row seats to his performance and did the routine as if my folks were the only other ones in the room. My mother cried, my father misted up and when thread was finally restored everyone there that night had seen real magic. It was a moment I will never forget (my father passed away not long afterwards) and for which I will be forever grateful to Mr. Saylor for the memory and the lovely metaphor my mother still recalls fondly whenever magic is discussed to this day. Arthur C Clarke was mistaken--Magic has always been the most advanced form of technology.

That was a beautiful rendition and a reminder that magic can and should make a lasting impact on an audience when done well. Thanks for sharing.
