Tips for performing on Boardwalks?

[Jondoe1791]

Hey forum. I live on the Jersey Shore (go ahead make your GTL cracks in the replies) and we're infamous for our boardwalks here so I use this as an opportunity to perform, I was just wondering if any more savvy boardwalk performers had any tips? one of my biggest issues is with Dresscode because I generally perform to people who are along the rails on the ocean side of the boards so when I turn to do the change I reveal the entire trick to anyone passing by. I know there's a quick fix to this that's easy but i was wondering if there were any other pointer you wish to share. especially along the A.C. Boards which i haven't tried performing at yet.

Ahhhh Yeahh Boardwalk Yeahh!
Had to get that out of my system, sorry.
Anyways, I stayed at the tropicana llast year and i was tempted to perform on the boardwalk there near the beAch, but it was just so damn hot. On top of that you have tO watch out for all those cart guy that push tourists to the end o the other side. It's stupid but I couldn't help how annoying they were when your trying to gather a crowd.

Now onto your question.
I don't own dresscode, but I would assume it's the same as a Restaurant magician performing magic and the other tables could see whT he's doin because they're behind him at another table, but it doesn't matter. They see the secret but they don't know exactly what theyre seeing.
My advice: don't worry about it. It's not as big of a deal as you think. As long as your actual audience you're performing to can't see the flash, then you should be fIne.
Goodluck and have fun with it!
P.s. I apologize if some words are misspelled because I'm writing this from my iPhone.

thanks man. I'm not worried about the heat though because I generally perform at night.
