I am going to start by inviting passers by to a demonstration of the paranormal as hopefully ths will generate some sort of interest from passers by. I will be in a tent.
The subsequent effects are silk through rope, rope throug neck, torn and restored card, Get Sharky. patter is: Some speak of Uri Geller, some of Nostradamus and others of the yongi bongi bo, but greater than these is the Chinaman Huang Loon. Huang Loon lived with his wife Small Loon in a beautiful mountain valley with rich paddy fields. It was idyllic but for one large, dragon sized problem. Every day Small Loon would wash their clothes and hang them on lines to dry and every day the dragon Yang Pi would let out a mighty roar and the wind from his roar would tear the clothes from the line and into the mud and Small Loon would nag her husband until he stomped off in a huff. But Huang Loon was cleverer than the wicked old dragon, he took the washing line and cast a mighty spell. He tied the silk washing to the line, and when Yang Pi roared, the clothes stayed on and this time Yang Pi stomped off in a huff. Huang Loon chuckled to himself and pulled the silk from the washing line. (silk through rope), and Huang Loon’s fame grew throughout the neighbourhood, through the cities and to the ears of the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor said Huang Loon is famous and his name exceeds my own, I shall denounce him as a sorcerer and he shall die! Guards arrested Huang Loon and tied his magic washing line around his neck to strangle him, (Rope through Neck) but the line was magic and passed straight through. Next they decided to tear him to pieces and burn them to ash (tear a card) but Small Loon said to herself I took his hand in marriage and it is mine by right, so she stole away his hand (give card fragment to participant), and whilst the guards burned the other body parts to ash, she cradled it to herself and wept. But Huang Loon’s magic was mighty, he had planned for this event, and his body reassembled (card restored) all except for his hand which his wife held, so he nagged her until she went off in a huff! Some say Huang Loon is alive today, where he performs magic with but a single hand:- (Get Sharky) Thank you very much if you have enjoyed the show tell your friends and give generously in support of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. |

I'd really have to see your style to see if it works. Sounds like it has possibilities. The thing about the streets is you'll find out quickly what works and what doesn't. Is this your style or is it a contrived character??? Be yourself. If you can sell this story it could be cute.
You are doing a lot of talking. . .you may want to engage the audience a bit more. If you are a great story teller it might work. Do you have your tricks down cold so you can make observations and comments on the fly? CAUTION: If you ask a yes/no question they might say no if they're shy. Than you are dead. Better off to stop them with some eye candy. Coin manipulation, invisible thread, contact juggling, misers dream pulling coins out of the air ask them to grab some invisible coins in front of them and throw them into your can with the convincing clank. Now they're interested. ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE. Fire wallet, linking rings, card manipulations. . .Make them want to stop and watch. Announce your "card trick of death" that is upcoming if they stay. Book will go out tomorrow. It has lines, asides, do's and don'ts. Let me know what you think after you read it. Send me any further questions. Thanks for your support, -Gary |
