| To have a successful show, a magician must draw the audience's attention to the important elements of his routines. Often, this directing occurs unconsciously, and therefore there's a risk of misdirecting attention. This not only diminishes the effect but also unintentionally alerts the audience to the trick technique. In this book, Wolf Fisher shows you how to determine the right focus, optimize the effect on the audience, disguise the trick technique, develop your own presentations and work with few props in front of a large audience. For the first time, Wolf Fisher describes proven routines from his practice and uses these examples to support the theoretical findings described. The trick routines all fall into the category of "professional and practical"—lightweight but with a big impact on the audience. They all feature subtle touches that could only have been developed through years of practice in front of paying amateur audiences under a wide variety of performance conditions: Simplex Card in Sock: a simple and practical version of the “card in a sock,” suitable for both table hoppers and stand-up magicians! Finding Mnemo: a useful memory aid for mentalists. Card Cloth: Wolf's routine for the well-known card cloth set. Balloon Prediction: a powerful mental effect with a little subtlety. Wolf's Grab Bag: an effect originally conceived for a product presentation that can easily be adapted for other purposes. Madame Thusnelda: a visual prediction with a touch of comedy. Amazing Socks: Wolf's most famous effect, in which a sock and a scarf swap places – on the performer's leg! Each individual routine and the experiences it contains are a true gem for the practitioner. Wolf's explanations of the correct use of the thumb tip and his thoughts on the card sword round out this practical book. Tips and tricks straight from practice! This book is once again a genuine "real world" product. 80 pages DIN A5, softcover, with many photos. |
