Hello,
I am new at this and never done a mentalism program (show). So forgive me if this may sound like a dumb question to some. I hear mention of chair routines from time to time. The latest is Comedy Balloon Chair Prediction by Sebastian Black! I would like to know of the others. I have never seen a chair routine and only have a small idea what it is. I would like to gather the routines both the serious and comic. This way I will be able to put together an act/routine/bit that BEST fits me. I will add my own take/ideas of showmanship to give it my personnel flavor. Thank you for your time. Ray |

The Lord has a few real good chair routines in his books. Look him up in this forum.
Lord of the Horses. Same with Patrick Redford. He has a brilliant chair thing. That reminds me I have to get TRIANGLE. John |

Magical Dimensions,
Just like magician, they try to create their own "Cups & Balls" routine or their own take of "Coin Accross" or other Classic feats of Magic....now with Mentalist I think everyone (Including me...) is trying to create their own take of "Chair Test" the point of learning other people Routine is try to create your own take of the "Chair Routine" without duplicating other's Mentalist effect.... so know your self first then create your effects |

Isn't that what I said in my opening post?
I have been preforming for 26 years and I know myself and what I want. LOL I hope.. Maybe I am thinking like a magiain but seems to me that entrtainment is still entertainment no matter how you slice it. I want my act to be me and not a copy of others. I will pick this and that and add my own. This way I will be me and not a copy cat. Ray |

Ray,
Just clap your hands three times... send me an e-mail... and I will send you a chair-routine. I have created 5 chair routines during the years and you'll get one for free, as a free sample, if you want it.
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

Some of us just created pieces that fit us, and fit a need we had. When my routine was published, chair routines were not yet popular again. I created mine to fill a need of a 10 minute routine that could be done without having anything, and utilized and entertained the entire audience. There is NOTHING else like it in print.
Maximum Involvement with 1 minute's preparation. In my case, there was no consideration of what had been done previously, I wanted something that played big at banquets that was essentially impromptu. Tony |

No mesmer you can not pre-order it first, I'm at the front of the que and have been pestering Paolo for months, take your place in line. lol
You might say reality is the result of complex negotiations between the observer and the observed. But that is simply a point of view.
Many Thanks Garrad |

I also placed this in the Inner Thoughts forum after I found the other thread on chairs.
I have an idea for a comic bit. Why use chairs? How about having everyone stand and place toilet seats over their heads! What a sight that will be! PLus have everyone hold a roll of toilet paper or a plunger! It has to be funny! Anyway this is the type of routine I want! I guess that I am not your typical performer! LOL Best Ray P.S. Thanks again Lord of Horses for the E-Mail. It is a KNOCK OUT routine! |

Lord of the Horses,
I find it hard to believe that your Chair-Night could get better! Are these little touches on your DVD? Ray |

Chair night is very cool. Same with chairvelopes both in Paolo's book OMICRON.
I have been working with both of these excellent chair routines. John |

Paolo's thoughts and routines are very good. I'd hate to make such a blanket statement...and I'm not saying this because Paolo says nice things about my own published work... I always find something of value in his ebooks. He also has some very good thinking on the chair routines that aren't cluttered with procedure.
