Worlds Greats feat (feet) of Magic

Postby Jonathan Pendragon » July 27th, 2015, 12:57 am

I am at family get together with West so I missed my appearance on the TV show "Don't Blink." I believe it was the segment where I presented my original card effect "Feat of Magic" for international star Ronn Moss. In the run up "Blink" used the catch to hype the series. My question for those who saw it. Did you feel the trick was spoiled because of all the pre-show and pre-segment teasers. When I present it, I inform the audience that they will see the "Worlds Greatest Feat of Magic!" The impression I give is that I will catch the card mid-air with my hand. Only after the effect is completed do I point to my foot with card between my toes and exclaim, "The worlds greatest feet of magic."

I can't speak from a layman's point of view because I figured where you were going with it.

However, my feeling is that the POP TV teasers didn't telegraph the finale.

And congratulations, Jonathan for being on two TV shows this season (Masters of Illusion on the CW is the other one)!

Make that 3. Also saw him on episodes of "Extreme Escapes" on the Reelz channel this year!

I am home and I saw it. I thought it went really well and caught my goofy close-up persona right on the nose. My only regret was that a gag came off looking like a really long load. I load very fast and then I do this bit were I apparently fall asleep while the spectator is shuffling. It plays better in person. My wife belongs to a writer's newsgroup, many of whom have become my fans because of the TV shows. When they saw Feet of Magic, their response was, "Finally, he smiled."

Yeah Jonathan, don't worry.
Why would you be concerned that this teaser could possibly have telegraphed the denouement? ;)

Humor, a difficult concept to grasp. :D
