First of all, when is this show? Second of all you might want to consider some of Andrew Mayne's effects. They're cheap and visual!

Sorry my friend, you're asking too much for a good trick for less than 30 bucks.

But I found a perfect one for you

Sorry my friend, you're asking too much for a good trick for less than 30 bucks.

On the contrary, there are a number of good stage-like effects out there.

For example:

Pull out a handkerchief and vanish it (TT) and pull out of pocket. Repeat but this time pull out of mouth. Repeat but this time it doesn't vanish. Try again, but still doesn't vanish. Shrug your shoulder and produce bottle instead. (Multiple methods out there) Pour yourself a cup of Welch's Grape Juice and let go of the glass in mid-air to leaving it suspended in mid-air (Air-Born).

There's a good 3 - 5 minute routine set to music that will definitely work on stage for 200 people...

...and be under 30 bucks.

Without question for what you are asking you cannot go wrong with the vanishing Bandanna...it is such a great trick.....

Here is a link of Copperfield performing it...

I couldn't agree more...it's a great trick for the audience (I've never seen any bad reactions for it), and it's super easy as well! Just make sure you can convey your emotions without words--that's really the only difficult part about the trick. Presentation is pretty much the only thing that needs attention.

those are all good ideas the only problem with the bandana idea is that people can go onto youtube and figure it out in 30 seconds and as all of you know it is very annoying when people figure it out

The problem with andrew maynes effects is most of the stage ones are like dissapearing which is like witchcraft (i go to private school). but if there is a really good one tell me

Also the talent show is a few months away. but im just getting some ideas

P.S. Please no stooged stuff

thanks

Andrew Mayne has one where a helper....puts a green light through your body and it comes out of your mid section. You would have to have a helper though. It is right around 30 bucks to construct. I cannot think of the name right now.
Definitely look at Andrew Maynes stuff.

Here's an idea....

Bring out a smaller cooler with a big sign that says prediction on it.

Have a spectator come up and select a card out of about 10.
These cards all say different body parts on them. Read these out loud to the audience and the spectator. Force one the spectator that says "brain" on it.
Tell the spectator to reach inside the cooler and pull out the prediction envelope.
Be ready for a scream. Lift the lid and....
Reach into the cooler and pull out a big rubber brain.

The place will go nuts. If you smear vasoline and red food coloring on it it looks pretty darn real.

I've seen this done before and I think it is a Mayne effect with a twist.

If the show is around Halloween....all the better buddy.
Hope this helps or gives you an idea.
