Supernatural Routine

[heavymetalholic]

what are your ideas on a routine, that show superhuman abillities, what tricks would you use?

From Mind reading to levitations, which tricks would you use to make people believe you have real supernatural powers.

Coin bending, first and foremost. Sean Fields had his some stuff in Explicit Content that's visual, like causing a spoon to glow red with heat before breaking, water to visually boil (and also freeze, but I think that's on his X-Rated notes), and even more still, take a blank, uncut key and run it through your fingers, causing sparks to fly as it comes out cut.

E's got a trick coming out tomorrow, Frozen, where you display icy breath by blowing across a borrowed coin. Nefesch has a similar trick, except instead you encase the coin in a chunk of ice.

What's better, this bag of gold or that bag of gold?

They're both mentalism. Explicit Content focuses on making mentalism more visual and tangible. X-Rated is mostly a grab bag of wonderful ideas, theories, and techniques. Dig up some explanations of the effects from each, and see which sounds the best for you.

Look into Banacheks PSI dvd series, you will find a ton of stuff to freak people out.
As well as Ashes on Arm is another good one.

Hope that helps.
