Hello brothers and sisters of magic, I've been wondering for so long about this. I'm not sure if someone has posted this topic in the forum but I will start and ask all of you. I'm not sure if this is the right room for this topic. If it's not, then I'm sorry.
When you're performing, on stage or close up, do you have a giveaway trick for your audience? If you do, is it really necessary to do that? And what's your giveaway trick? Thank you for replies

I have items that I give out, but not tricks or effects.
In my opinion, giving away those types of items diminishes you, it gives the appearance that you perform tricks, and anyone can do them. Tony |

Money.
Not much, but the look on the face of the Volunteer is always amazing... Seriously.

Tony, what sort of items do you give and to whom?
Pakar ilusi, agreed..... And next question, not trying to be a teacher or interogator, what do you say or do when they ask you to teach them 1 trick?

He doesn't give-away items. He just teases.

Coupons for venue related sponsors. Sometimes rubber spiders or fake dog poo, depending on the show.

When I perform readings, for example handwriting analysis, the guest receives a nice little package with his/her analysis. The current ending of my platform show ends with the gift of a painting. For home events, I have my own BOR items, books, CDs, and several other items that I won’t go into here that are given away. The only events that I do not give any of “my material’ away at are those where I’m working for another (such as an event planner) as I feel it would be a violation for me to promote my own bookings in any way while working for another. Most of what I do is what people would call "psychic entertainment” so I’m not asked to teach a trick, but am asked to perform personal readings and answer questions. I have been asked by those who have a real interest in what I do to teach them, or where they can learn more about what I do. I ask them to contact me outside of the event, if they do, I point them to one of the colleges where I periodically teach classes and provide them with a reading list of books that fit their interest.

Is that a cold reading list or hot reading list? Seriously: good idea to have a list of books at hand if people want to know more.
