Im doing another performance inside a arena at a professional hockey game. This will take place during intermission. Ive done this twice before...the first time I performed my version of master prediction system, second time I turned water to ice while standing bare foot out on the ice.
This perfomance will be done out in the middle of the ice, and keep in mind there are large jumbotron screens that the crowd can view if the props being used are small. Also, I can use crowd members if they are needed in the performance. I guess the only limits I can think of is being surrounded, which in mentalism isn't so much of a limit. So, what would you do yourself, or suggest doing? I have a few pieces in mind, but thought someone may throw something out I'm not thinking about. Mentalism ONLY please! Thanks |

Turn the rink into a swimming pool with your mind

Amira... that's what we did as far as the master prediction goes. Great suggestion though.
Samurai....will I get better responses there? Not really looking for secrets but more suggestions of routines I may not be thinking about. May do it regaurdless though. Right now I'm leaning towards the floating table routine. |

1. a participant hide the hockey "ball" somewhere and you find it via psychic powers ;D
2.use ice to reveal something (maybe a thought card inside a cube) ?

Blindfolded Zamboni Drive.
Have them blindfold you, then set up local celebs...or hockey fans, whichever...as obstacles you must avoid. |

Gonna do a souped up version of the floating table!
The zamboni idea was good, but those things are hard enough to drive with full vision...no way the arena would insure that stunt. Good thinking though. |

They are there for a game, and in the interval will presumably be trying to tank up on beer. So I would not be too sophisticated. An electric chair routine would go down well, and some of the Russian Roulette varients, such as Smash and Stab, would also play well.
In othe words I think the mentalism should be visual and perhaps physical.

Thanks Tony.... this is why were are going with Floating Table.
I also have researched the games and made the contract very specific. All lights must be off except for two spotlights on the act. This should help draw attention to the center ice area. We do understand they have the option of getting out of seats at any time, so we felt that if enough focus was put on center ice, we might keep a few extra butts in the seats. There will be about 10,000 at the game and have been told that normally 7000 stay in the seats during intermission. Either way, this is huge for us. Also, the complete act is being shown by way of two camera angles up on the jubotron screens, in which 30 tv monitors in the concessions areas also show what is happening on the ice. One thing we wanted to do was elliminate the need to speak to the audience much, this is why we didn't do the electric chair or smash and stab. Thanks for the suggestions!!! |

Besides, I wonder if using a malloy is "mentalism" or rather a nice and expensive toy for magicians ?
