I am working on a new family show for shopping centres. This is NOT a children's act but designed for the whole family to enjoy together.

I don't want to alienate the kids but, at the same time, I want to make sure the kid's enjoy the performance.

For example, I'm currently looking at a bill to lemon routine, baby gag, a Russian roulette with boiled/raw eggs, a card stab and a straight jacket escape (with chains!)

That Russian Roulette with an egg sounds like a good effect for a father and son participation.
What system will you be using?

As much as I like straight jacket escape I would have it with me but shopping malls often have very young kids in strollers. The straight jacket escape may me a bit strong for them in the eyes of some moms. So I would add it in after evaluating the crowd.
PS, hope you do get a crown!

I use Steve Price's routine which is brilliant! It's a got a bunch of fantastic bits of business and the method, while as old as the hills, is used here very, very well!

Is the Steve Price routine commercially available? I have been looking for a good russian roulette routine using eggs, but haven't come up with one I like yet. This one sounds interesting!

It is available. I'm sure if you email him he will be able to help.

This is the current e-mail address on his web-site info@stevepriceillusions.co.uk

He also released a dvd of this and other routines last year.
