I just got called to appear on local TV for halloween. This is a repeat appearence so I cannot use the same effects. They want halloween stuff and I just don't think they will accept me eating razor blades.

Any suggestions much appreciated. My show schedule is pretty busy and and I still have another job also.

I can only think of a few PK effects off hand and due to the cold in the studio, that might not be a good idea (T TImber etc).

Thanks for any help.

Things that came immediately to mind...
Saw (My current favourite...Have a new presentation bit I am working on)
Gutbuster
Iron Garotte
A skull zombie ball
Ghost vision
Anything from Baba's book (Especially the voodoo dolls)
Of course, I don't really know what would fit your personal style, but I hope this helped.

You might be able to dress up some of what you normally do with a Halloween flair (as you said, it is a busy time for you, and you won't really have time to build new routines). You do own the Dracula Book Test right?

What did you do at the last performance? If you don't want to say in public, PM me.

Thanks Gwyd,

The first time I was on there, I did the voodoo doll. It worked great, I should have saved it. Unsure if they will let me swallow razor blades but I WILL ask.

Mostly I perform mentalism. I may try my temperamental T Timber and PK pens...
Key bending.....I already did spoon and metal bending. Deciding is more stressful then being on TV to me anyways. Need something it wont go wrong or really explain beforehand this stuff just doesn't always work.

Thanks Tony!

I had forgot all about Dracula! Funny, I saw the producer a few months ago along with the host at a nightclub gig I was at and had Dracula with me at the time so I used it on them:)

DBT with Moabt as a choice. On my list now.

My last performance I did a card prediction, spoon bend, voodoo doll (darn it) and
a bottle to glass production at the end.

Haunted Key!Preferably with an antique key not the commercial shiny one.

Time is running short Candini.If you already have the technique down,let me know and I will 'see' if I can dig out a balanced antique key from my collection..that is if you are interested. Smile

I will second the Ghost Vision idea. You can use a phone borrowed from one of the crew and alter the presentation a little to become a spooky mental effect.
