Hi friends,

I am not stating out a question of what rope trick I should do when I face the scenario above. But those info is very helpful because I now know the source of some good rope routines.

What I'd like to hear most is how we would tackle the situation above. Any idea?

Niko, Francisco,

I ended up in doing a card trick with the rope. My audiences surprised!LOL

On the same topic, what do you guys think about close-up vs. stage/standup?

Can you be a working proffesional only doing close-up and tablehopping/strolling magic? Or do you need to have a 45min standup act?

What do you do(the strictly close-up performer) when you have a show booked, and they say that you are needed to fill 15-30min in between speakers for all 400 people at an event?

I have heard about magicians who go round 'table hopping' who only do 4 or 5 tricks per table, and make quite a bit of money every night - if the situation of
'What do you do(the strictly close-up performer) when you have a show booked, and they say that you are needed to fill 15-30min in between speakers for all 400 people at an event' happened, I think you would be quite in your rights to say that you havent trained in a standup/stage act, and I think it'd be quite unfair for them to come out and say that! but I suppose it would be very useful if you had a repertoire consisting of some standup magic - it all depends on who you are really I think

sorry for the long-windedness
