In reply to OldZombie. Bobby . . . If you weren't my son, I'd hug you.

I hope I can meet that situation. I always prepare for that kind of case

Ok, I feel left out and it has been ages since I watched King of the Hill so I had to search online and I found this:

That boy ain’t right.

One of my favorites too! All the more appropriate that it was about 6 am here when I wrote it.

In reply to OldZombie. @OZ - I can't believe you used that quote. That is my all time favorite quote from King Of The Hill. Bobby stripping down to his underwear in the kitchen to put on new warm clothes from the laundry basket. I love it!

Six O’clock in the morning and already that boy ain’t right. (Another is more obscure Hank Hill reference)

In reply to OldZombie. @OZ - Yep (Imagine my best Hank-Hill-Standing-in-the-alley accent).

I think a good jumping off point for ‘jazzing’ is the Ambitious Card routine. I learned it for Daryl’s DVD, and he says exactly that, it is like jazz music you know how it will start and end but whats in the middle is up to you. I don’t think I ever do it the same way twice, depends on the spec, how they are reacting, if they are into it and playing along you can try things that are more bold, if they are the grabby types you can pull back a bit, the possibilities are pretty much endless.

Another reason to spend more “mirror” time working out the moves of the trick, so that you can be more focused on the audience and not the effect itself. More opportunities to “go with the flow”. Also, it is important to take good stock of reactions in the crowd to know who will be a good victim…I mean participant in audience participation effects!

In reply to Steven Dickinson.

@Steven – no doubt about it man. When I perform for my kids just one on one, I never know what the trick will be. It’s just fun to play with the moment and see where things go. I love when I’m about to make something vanish, and they look away for a half second. I quickly ditch the item in my pocket, but I pretend I’m trying to hide it from them in my other hand. Too fun.
