As someone who performs the effect and contributed to it, I agree with you about the potential in the Kids market for the trick. However, I feel your comments about the effect being impractical for restaurant, street and strolling are incomplete. Where there is a will, there is a way. I have plenty of years working restaurants, street and strolling under my belt to say the effect can be done in those situations. With that said, there is a preconception that assumes every performance needs to be a verbatim repeat of the previous performance. This means keeping the W.M.D. in your jacket until you find a situation, or certain individual like a decision maker you want to drop it on, is considered good strategy. Chance favors the prepared mind, not the unprepared. The effect requires some prep of course, that is nothing new. I believe your comments seem to focus around wanting to do the effect at every table, each individual, every angle, etc.. Obviously a table of some sort is required to rest the bag on, but that in no way rules the effect out from being done on the street where you might find a bench, table, box etc... Not everyone has to stroll up to a person or group in a sterile sleeves up, hands empty approach or do the same machine gun act 10 times nightly.

Thanks Sean for the kind words. Lots of possible ways to present this effect.

Love to hear how others are presenting this.

Cheers,
