Very nice, Ran. Great to see a routine using music as a hook.

Exactly! It’s the difference between being hurtful and helpful.

Very nice routine. Like a chair test with bells. I liked it. This would fool an audience for sure. But it is not really Equ******. So I think he fooled them. I wonder what Mike and Johnny thought. Of course it was a !@#$*. Penn mentions that too many times.
I also loved the way you let her switch notes 1/5 or 2/4. Very clever. Only a musician might catch that. But not the first time. A+. Thanks for posting. I missed that episode. |

I believe the reason that Martin is expressing that the showcased version on Penn and Teller is not a potential closer (I probably shouldn’t speak for Martin and might be completely wrong) is simple and something not to be overlooked. In almost all cases to get a ‘standing O’ the performer must be on stage on his/her own with one extra kick as the closer to get people to their feet. If stage isn’t your thing, pick your favourite performer and just watch the last ten minutes of their act. This is one of the first things you learn when writing an act or a stage show.
If there are audience members on the stage and you close the show, the ending is left messy and doesn’t quite feel like a definitive conclusion. I think this also might be due to the audience being accustomed subconsciously to most shows ending like this and therefore it puts them into a state of confusion which can dampen the way they react at the back end. The advice shared by Martin on purposefully creating an act that is dynamic and moves the tone/ feeling in the room is spot on and a great piece of advice for anyone wanting to build a stage act. I like this act and like the choice of song and the fact it drives people to their feet - I’m intrigued to hear what the final kicker is once the participants leave the stage. Ran you were cool, composed and concise. Thanks for sharing, Frankie |

Well in most cases I hand the bells to the first row, which means Im alone on the stage at the second climax

As a musician and ŕ mentalist too, I liked your routine. The little lines make the choices process interesting and not boring at all.
I agree with some here : I don’t believe P&T have grabbed everything. Just one of the tools. There is nice things to do in this direction, I mean combining music and magic. Keep going ! |
