First video from my one man show - Tony!

Postby mrgoat » June 16th, 2014, 11:43 am

I hope you enjoy this, Tony Sagittarius - The World's Sexiest Mind Reader.

I'm uploading the first part of the one man show now, but I thought some of you may enjoy this...

(Never edited two cameras before, the colour balance is wrong, but it's good enough for now...)

wow - that was superb!

That is a real lesson in how to craft a mentalism show. And very funny as well.

Nice handling for the Barrie Richardson trick at the end! I love seeing a trick migrate from a book on to the stage. Excellent thinking.

I think anyone interested in mentalism should study this as an example of how to best put together a performance like this.

I just loved the premise behind the show as well. It works on so many levels - it is the best premise I have seen for a mentalism act.

Really good stuff!

Joe

I was thinking of so many gags, lines and tricks that would fit the premise as I was watching the show.

That is a sign of a great premise for a show. When you find one that works well - the show almost writes itself.

Bravo!

Joe

PS I nominate that this video get added as a More GENII Speaks extra for the digital edition of the magazine!

PPS Damian has a great subtlety for the nail writer which I am sure is in print somewhere - but was new to me. And the use of a "safe" word to justify the riffle force was genius!

There is a lot to learn from this performance. It is an example of how the correct presentation can help justify a lot of the 'inconsistencies' required for the method. A great presentation won't just be entertaining but will help justify the actions required for the method. This actually makes the magic stronger. Too many magicians overlook the fact that the correct presentation can double the impact of the effect.

Very good. Who was the girl in the picture?

If you come back to the US for the 2nd Genii convention, I hope you bring Tony with you!

A little bit of Tony always is in me, as it were.

Baba... is not Mark.

And I am tired of ALL of you.

Today is NOT the day to test me.

I'll ban the lot of you without a moment's notice and all of you can take your BS over to the "green place."

I am going to WASTE a boatload of MY time now deleting the CRAP you all have spewed on this thread in your worthless dick-measuring contest, and then I'm going to lock it.

But I swear, if ANY of you post another thing that I even think is "troll-like" all of you are gone.

TAKE A BREAK AND KNOCK IT THE F OFF RIGHT NOW!
