Magic Performance week? What will you perform?

[Austin Fields]

So the week before Halloween I plan on performing the whole week, sort of as a tribute to a great contributor to magic, Mr. Weiss. So I want to open it up to see if you guys would like to see anything performed, I mainly do cards. I have trouble coming up with new stuff to perform, so this is kind of like an idea thread for me as well, but i'll have a camera guy with me, so I'd love to hear some ideas, and i'll post the videos throughout the week (if I can edit that quickly)

Also, what do you guys plan on doing for Halloween? Anything you're looking forward to?

Just to share a little about the culture in my country:

There are some people over here hthat do celebrate hallowen, but they aren't a lot of people.

What we do over here is to pay tribute to our loved passed away people by making altars with all their favourite things in them, like food, books and things like that

Onto topic now:

You could readapt your aptter in your routines so that they can have a spooky or a cool theme regarding hallowen.

Day of the Dead!

I heard about that. Sounds spooky.

I just plan on scaring little kids and getting me some candy.

Now just to find a costume that'll make me look like a ten year old...

well, it´s not that spooky, it is very fun to me, we get to eat candies called "alfeñiques" that is basically sugar with lemon, they taste very good and comes in different forms and shapes

The "Altar de los Muertos" is some kind of gift for the dead people, we put their picture and we put a lot of food and candies and candles and other things as a way to remember them and pay respect, in the tradition they come in this night (that is actually 2 of november) and they feed on the food and they visit us and watch over us.

in fact,Tim Burton´s "The Corpse Bride" is more based in this tradition

This week? or next week?

Next week. The week leading up to the 31st of October.

I plan on re-scripting a few simple effects, as well as doing more 'voodoo' style presentations. I recently learned a few new effects that should be ready to test in performance.

I might run up to Duke Hospital and see if the childrens wing could use some lifting up.

I wanted to be an old man for halloween and go down to my cul-de-sac and do things like the dancing cane, basically be an old magic wizard and see if I can get people to come up, and I'd do things like spongeballs and whatnot

Just an idea!

Beans,

I'll be performing at a local veterans hospital with S.A.M. Hopefully everyone is performing in one way or another more so than usual during Magic Week.

that is an awesome cause man! More power to you, spreading the gift of magic is a great thing to do man.
