Cold reading, weather control, various bends, PK touches. Have a look at '7 Deceptions' for some great ideas. In fact, many bizarre routines are best performed 'impromptu'. Use the old 'It's funny you should mention that because I know an experiment we could try...' gambit.
I've recorded MY favourite routine here in the 'Al fresco bizarre' thread: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......14&4 Regards, Caleb Strange.

Cloud Busting, Pulse Stopping, and all number of mentalism stunts lend themselves to the impromptu.

Cloud busting? Is that where you concentrate on a cloud and try to dissolve it?

I love to do a bit of cold reading maybe combined with a bit of centre tear fun if it's right. Pulse stopping effects are good, and I do like to carry a set of Zenner (ESP) Cards with me 'just in case'.
And, although it's not strictly Bizarre, if I'm pushed then there's always a balducci levitation. |

This is not strictly impromptu, though it can seem so. It's a bit like being ready to do the 'button trick' at any time. But in a similar vein to cloudbusting, it is possible to smooth out the waves on a small pond on a windy day. The gimmick is something that many bizarrists would be carrying anyway. You could call it 'Troubled waters'.
Regards, Caleb Strange.

Are you speaking of Penn and Tellers Button trick??

No. I mean, I think, Malini, ever ready to do his thing. Please someone correct me if my magic history is wrong. It's important, I think, we get these things right.
Regards, Caleb Strange. I came across this story today, which is, in of itself, some sort of 'impromptu' magic. Edward Lear was in Turkey, a guest in a postmaster's fine house. While taking a parting cup of coffee, he accidentally knocked over a handsome, valuable pipe bowl. Crash. But nobody moved. Lear apologised, to be told by his Muslim host, 'The breaking of such a pipe-bowl would, indeed, under ordinary circumstances, be disagreeable; but in a friend every action has its charm.' Isn't that just wonderful? Magical by itself. But... One could have a 'priceless' pot or glass broken accidentally by a guest at a party. They are mortified, but brushing the pieces into an ornate cloth, you say, 'The breaking of such a glass would, indeed, under ordinary circumstances, be disagreeable; but in a friend every action has its charm.' And as you say the word charm, you slowly remove the cloth, to reveal that the object is now restored. Regards, Caleb Strange.
