Hey guys.
I did a kids show at my aunt's work for Grandparents Day, and one of the relatives of someone who lives at the nursing home told me that he has his own 'once-a-month' local television show that he'd like me to be on and perform. He told me that the show is just like a public type of show, and the majority of this show is my performance. I'll have 25 minutes of the 30 minute show, and the other 5 will be for him to make the announcments he need to make. All I need to know is which effects would look nice for the camera. There are 3 camera's in the studio, I am going to be doing about 25 minutes of magic (with a commercial break in between), and he is also going to interview me (either before or after my magic... do you guys think before or after I perform would be better??) I was thinking that Gene Anderson's T&R Newspaper would be great for the show, and maybe a card routine or two that would hit home (the camera could zoom in on my hands)... What other effects do you guys think would be good for the television show? I have The Lemon Game - do you think it would be a nice closer? Please guys, any help is appreciated... Forgot to tell you that we're recording in 2 days (Tuesday). LOL, I know it's VERY short notice, but I know the material and am already staring to re-practice it. Thanks guys! -Vinnie Posted: Oct 8, 2007 7:09pm Any help guys? I know I'll be performing the following: -Gene Anderson's T&R Newspaper -Royal Flush Triumph -Queens Out Of Control -Borrowed $1 into Mismade Bill Any other help? Please... -Vinnie |

Do the most visual or stunning magic Vinnie.
When is your appearance? I would do: Newspaper Tear, pointing out the headline of the day. Bill in Ice Cube If there is audience: Tossed out Deck (Gazzo Version) Pavel's Super Walking Knot and end with a Newspaper Headline Prediction like Kneppers Perfect Prediction. You will be in the paper the next day... Cheers Silvio Posted: Oct 8, 2007 7:29pm Just re-read your post. Yes, do the lemon game! It's unfortunately too late for a prediction but perhaps include some mentalism as well like a drawing duplication. Do you have any Illusions?

If you were in the audience what would impress you? Too many performers are impressed with the "workings" of an effect instead of considering the effect on an audience who will only see the results.

Hey guys! Just wanted to thank you again for your support and thoughts, and to let you know that everything went great last night!
I ended up performing: -Mismade Bill -Bigger Finish -Queens Out Of Control -Royal Flush Triumph -GREED -Anderson's T&R Newspaper -The Lemon Game The only thing is that when I arrived, I was about to setup and open up my Lemon Game case, but some how the lock must have changed combinations on the case. So, after about 20 minutes of fiddling with the combinations, I decided to grab a screwdriver and break into it. that's a problem with me - this isn't the first time I've had a problem with the lock on this case. I'll contact Malloy Modern Magic and share my thoughts. It seems that the lock that is put on this case is very low quality, and therefore forced me to break it open to get inside. Anyways, after that was all said and done, we started filming. I was asked a few questions by Mike (the host of the show), and then I took to the stage. The studio was excellent! There were 3 PROFESSIONAL camera's set on pedestals, and the lighting was great; and hot! =] They said it would take about 4 weeks to edit and get it ready to be put on the air and that he'd call me when my copy of the show is ready. When I get it, I'll share the performance with you guys!! Thanks again! =] -Vinnie |

Pretty soon you are going to be the "Great Vinnie" because of your dove act. Why not do a few dove tricks next time?
Vinnie, when I see you, can I have your autograph? Because you are the man. How does it feel being a movie star? |

HAHA! Thanks for the kind words, Mike!!
I was thinking about bringing the dove, but decided not to. I don't know, it just didn't really go with the stuff I was doing on the show... When can you see me? Hmmm... 4 weeks. =] LOL! I'll provide the link to the performance here when I get it. =] Autograph, sure! Haha... I know Michigan isn't too close to NJ, but would happen to be attending Metro Magic III, Bob Little's Super Sunday, or Kutztown Convention this year (next month)? Thanks! =] -Vinnie |

Hey, Dove's are OUT, Parrot's are IN...LOL. Just kidding Vinnie. Congrats on the successful show. Now you are IN Bro! No, it's good that you didn't perform your doves. Especially in a 'foreign' envoirnment like hot TV studio the birds can react strange.
Keep up the genious man! And, we all want to see the show once you get it Best Silvio
