Seance - The History Daisey Mae

Monday September 26 - Preview of the new show.

It is not unusual, theatrical shows and events before the official premiere dates on the run ...

It is common for actors to try the material on a selected audience before going on tour ...

So I guess the wizards would do the same ...

For me it was the first time you run a preliminary test of a show full two hours before an invited audience and I'm not sure why it took me so long to do it!

OK, the downside is having to cover the cost of renting the place, but the positives far outweigh these costs.

It 's almost impossible to practice without the general public Mentalism Show, and despite scripting, denial, routining that have to do until there are real people to look at what you do you may not make sense, "efficient" one show all its own.

Session: Daisey Mae story is a two-hour show ended in a single session. I spent years on the back story that links the effects I wanted to use and we hope to create a sense of realism that, in effect, a very surreal sight.

Monday, a small audience of about 30 people, including a pair of professional media, came to see "Preview". They said it was a work in progress ...

I can not describe the valuable feedback I received, what they said, what I observed and how they react.

Virtually everything that could go wrong went wrong in the second half of the show, but none of this appears from the perspective of the audience as quick thinking in the interval meant that I could cover for things wrong not to do when they got to know who pre-round-2 set-up. A magician friend in the audience knew what I was "going after" the second act, but said he was used to cover about 20 minutes were consistent with the rest of the show. In essence, it was the old trick of the audience not knowing what to expect, so there is no missing what they did not know ...

The public was very positive in their comments about the entertainment value of the show, and all said they would return that shows reserved for pay in November.

So from this experience, I not only learned the value of making such a striking example, but also has some valuable information on how to streamline the show and do "public performance" so much better ... I also did a bit of a buzz that I might be able to "roll" in the local shows in November.

So now, to sell the program to a wider market.

I guess the idea is not new for many, especially those with regular performances in the full night. But I suspect that many magicians are faced with the challenge of creating a two-hour show will try to stage their repertoire of cabaret and mix and match the routines of the test. Repeated course, have dress rehearsals and technical execution throughts - but I wonder how many obtain their raw materials not tested "out there" in a preview show?

Nice to hear from those who do ...

And if you do not, then you ... You learn a lot about your performance needs tweaks before it goes "live" and of course, grows with the performance continues.
