Hey I have a question. At the end of my cups and balls routine I use carl andrews ending for loading the first lemon under the cup from my pocket. Then after showing it I load a second lemon from my servant. I can load better from the servant, I have trouble catching on my pockets.
Do you think it would be alright to load both lemons from my servant. I was mostly worried about two final loads the same way. Thanks Shane |

Don't see why not. One of the most popular (i.e. copied) routines out there involves six loads from a pouch. If the misdirection is strong enough you can get away with just about anything. Just try it and see what works well for you.

Very true. You know while thinking of that and other routines. For once, Gazzo's routine did not come to mind. I think if I spend my time working on the misdirection and will make it easier, plus save me from this odd bulge in my pants.

It's amazing using the advance search there are 35 hits for the words "bulge in my pants" on the Café...

It's also amazing how many people do not know the difference between a servant and a servante.

After I posted that I knew I was going to hear something about it.
Bill, Im horrible at spelling and when I typed servante it came up wrong so I assumed the spell check on the site for magic to be correct. I wasn't really thinking at the time of loading my lemon from a person working in service of myself. |

I wonder how loading from a servant would work? Pretty well, I imagine. Most help staff are nearly invisible. They come and go without anyone giving them a second thought. I suppose one could be making the rounds during a dinner performance, lift a cup, clean up under it, and set it down loaded and nobody would even notice.

If you are loading and then revealing all at the end then where they come from doesn't matter if you have the correct timing, technique and misdirection and the loads are not seen.
If the loads are flashed then it is also immaterial *where * they came from, the important factor is that they were seen and the 3 points above need looking at and working on. |
