Wondering if anyone has performed this from the Osterlind DVD'S and if so what kind of reactions you get?

Hi funemagic,
I just can recommend this old little stunt. It goes back many many years and its described in many books like the stunts made by the famous Lulu Hurst more than 120 years ago. Or in 'How to be a (fake) Kreskin'. I often perform it in within my programme and it always gets great reactions. Of course you have to set it up with verbal introduction like Osterlind also did on his DVD. This is one of those stunts which work due to psychological or in this case physical reasons. Thus you have to set it up a bit to get the rght reactions. But thanks to DVD you can learn it in an absolut amazing way like on Osterlinds DVD. Watch it again and again and try to understand the verbal insturctions and then just try it. I predict that you'll be amazed. And my predictions always became true so far ;-))) Hope I could help you. Greetings Thomas |

Yes, I love this trick and I use it as the second to last effect in my act. It is great because It has soo much spectator involvment and it gets HUGE reactions.

Here in Hawaii, the local police academy and numerous corporate trainers use this as part of their groupthink training, which is good and bad. It's good because, in almost any group, people recognize the effect and get others to pay attention (sort of like when someone gets you to do some trick for their relative or whatever, so he can enjoy the other person's reaction with you). But, of course, the downside is that it's no longer a "miracle" that you perform, so much as an interesting phenomenon that you are demonstrating. It's certainly not a closer, under these circumstances. But it's entertaining, nonetheless.

Used to do this in the playground,as some spooky trick to freak someone out.I think the patter was something to do with being in a crash and dying and their body being lighter than air! What are these type of things called.Whats the other one where you instruct the spec various things and mimic with actions-and they ultimately touch one part of their body even though you say a different part.Along them lines anyway.

The reaction is always pretty good as all the participants are surprised at the results, along with any onlookers. Well worth doing, and as mentioned, seems a bit more known.

I've had mixed results. Half of the audience is blown away and the other half comments that they used to do that at slumber parties and scout camp.
