I was hit in the face earlier with an oppertunity that I could not pass up, there is a local open mic competition on the third Thursday of every month at a restaurant and bar where the winner is awarded $500 cash. Tomorrow (possibly today) at 7PM is when it starts and I have a set act in mind right now, wish me luck everyone...

Good luck Jake,
Please follow up with a report no matter what the result. It will be interesting to hear your take on how a lay audience react to a mentalist on an open mic contest.

Do not waste a second of your few minutes up there.
Pay as much attention to your opening as you do your opener. Ensure your effects can be readily understood and explained in a sentence. But if you really want the money, don't leave the hypno at home Good for you for putting yourself in a spot many would find tough. Most of all enjoy it and learn from it. Anthony

Thank you all very much for the good wishes and advice, I would like to report my two routine set consisting of a triple punch opener where I revealed a thought of name, guessed the ammount of money in someones purse and transmitted a thought to the audience finishing with a two envelope bank night closer I remember reading in a Jermay book somewhere. The audience really loved what I was doing and even before my act started and I started doing a few mentalism things to my friends at a table, people were already mesmerized by it. Mentalism plays great for an open mic situation, but be prepared because I almost really messed up on the envelopes because the girl I brought up was really feisty and wouldn't let my Dunninger ploy work covertly, but luckily she picked the envelope with the easiest and strongest outcome If you want to perform mentalism and hypnosis open mic, just make sure you have balls of steel, can think on the fly and try to pick audience members that look very dosile for any suggestion based effects or hypnosis related work (save the sure fire stuff for the ones that want to try to catch you out). I will be performing every third Thursday at this venue and hopefully get the invitational return in July for a chance to win the $500, I will post on this topic after every show to share what I learned and what not. Thanks again guys and happy holidays in case I am busy the next few weeks!

Haha that is what I thought too, I think I did break a few skulls there, people were really amazed afterwards and kept talking to me about how I got started and what not XP
