Hey my education in performing arts teacher asked me to perform some magic at and up coming show not just for the school but for all the town and people that want to come along.

They have four cameras set up like this

So are there any suggestions as to what tricks i should do and i can do a card trick or a coin trick

Well, How long have you been doing magic? Whats your thing? (Cards, Coin, that sort of thing) Where do you usually perform?

"Emotional Intelligence" by Luke Jermay is pretty good as you are a mentalist/card kinda guy. You can find it over at Penguin Magic.

I would definitely do some mentalism. perhaps a group mindreading.

Or, if cards or your thing, you could do a big multiple selection routine, using four or five members of the audience? camera's would be perfect for catching this!
