Ok, here's a fun routine I'v made up. Best magic trick ever.

Loreman

Ok, so do you want to know a very impressive magic trick that doesn't require any props, helpers, preparation or anything except for good storytelling skills?

It's great for DHV, attention, negging, kino... everything. Do it right, and you'll have the attention of a whole group of people, and smiles and laughter at the end. It's easy to remember, and you can perform it however you'd like.

You: Yeah, I know some magic. Real one, not that lame pick-a-card kind of stuff, but the real kind.
HB: Oh really?
You: Yeah.
HB: Ok, show me then!
You: Hey, I just told you, this is real stuff. I don't just "show it" for anybody. I mean, what's in it for me if I do show you?

Ok, try to build the whole thing up until she begs you to perform it. Aim for great expectations and dark mystery.

You: Ok. Allright. I'll show you, but you have to do exactly what I say, ok? Remember, you wanted to see this. So pay attention, because I'll do it just once, just for you.
HB: I promise!
You: Ok, good. Now, stand/sit back a bit, I need some space. Put down your drink and try to relax. Don't worry, you won't feel a thing. (Pretend to study her body, like if she's fit for this) Well, maybe just a little, but it's ok, I know what I'm doing.
HB: Uh.. ok. What are you going to do? Will it hurt?
You: Not really. You trust me, right? No, seriously, it won't hurt at all. I promise. Now, watch carefully...

Start by very clearly showing your hands, and let her and everyone see there's nothing in them. Roll up your sleeves, and make sure everyone knows you have no way of do something cheap. Act like you're actually going to have something appear out of thin air.

Put your hands together, like you are holding a bug trapped. Be very involved in what you do. Build up a sacred atmosphere. If people start getting prepared to protect themselves it's good.

Now, tell her this is where you need her help. Make her place her hands over yours (kino moment), close her eyes and take a deep breath to relax.

Ok, don't drag this routine out for to long, because the time from you showing that you have nothing in your hands to the reavealing moment can not be to far apart. People should still have the 'type' of the trick in mind, which is in the category of making things appear or disappear.

Now, while everyone is expecting to see what you will make apperar, you swiftly shift the whole trick in a new direction. Take your hands appart as if you've just made something magically disappear, and say with an dramatic guesture: "Gone!"

You have just made 'nothing' disappear into thin air, with the dramatic skills of a true magician.

Make sure everybody understand what you just did. It should be obvious that you were messing with them from the start, and they should be mad at themselves in the end for having been so gullible. Having to explain the punchline of this one is just a disaster, so learn to do it well.

What do you think? Very Happy

well what would you do as a follow up to transition this?

I would laugh at everyone and continue the convo where it left off
or start telling a story

You could say:

"Thank you, thank you everybody! You have been a lovely audience. I'm here performing all week, so tell your friends and spread the word. I even do birthdays and bar mitzvahs."

and then you turn to her and say

"traditionally I'd hand you one of my businesscards now, but I accidentally managed to make them disappear as well just before I got here. It's a blessing, it's a curse, what can I say... I'm just lucky my wallet is still here. I think I'm going to order a drink now while I still have the option. Can I get you anything?"

I seem to remember hearing that only AFC's buy girls drinks.

MrHappy · Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2007 9:44 pm Post subject:

XD remove wallet from your conversations. If you must, say you moved your wallet home, and get her to pay for the drink.

I'll show you a real magic trick if you get me a drink.
*poof* Mind control!

Yeah, you're right. Wallet and buying a drink should not be said. It's not very tactical, but it was kind of funny..

The mind control thing is great!

In a video on mystery picking up some girl. he does a trick where he "guesses"her middle initial and then afterwards in convo he tells her hes a magician and an illusionist. and then he says "im not even really here". its just really funny and you may be able to incorporate it

I'm all for new fun tricks but honestly I would never use this one. There are to many ways you could look like a chump and that you are trying really hard. Why try to impress people with something that is really nothing?
