Good evening,

I need some advice really if possible.

I have entered a talent competition at work (30,000 + employees ) and got voted into the last 20 or so people. I performed E.B. 2.0, Sudden Deck 3 and the Mental Photography Deck together in front of a camera. People will now vote on who they want to represent the brand in the finals.

If I make it to the finals I would need to perform in front of around 300 / 400 people.

I was wondering what effects would be good for a room of that size. There will be no cameras or screens etc. The act can last around 10 minutes.

I was thinking of opening with the Sudden Deck 3 to show people who may not have seen the audition video and then use a disposable deck etc. Maybe mention people don't trust magicians who always hold the cards and ' dispose ' the deck.

Then go into a ID routine. Get the room involved ?

I have never done anything like this before, so all ideas are appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Marc Oberon’s E-Wave works well for a room that big, but it’s slightly over $100!

If you want to stick with cards you may want to look at some of my stuff through the link below. I’ve performed some of those routines for rooms that big.

Oh look at Richard Osterlind too. Predict-Tac-Toe!

Wonderful recommendation!
You can do it with a MemDeck as well!
