The ending of my opening magic routine in the school assembly show wasn’t hitting as hard as I thought it should. Originally it was:
Educational content
Educational content
Show ice cream and put into cup
Spoon manipulation
Ice Cream in a cup turns into streamers
I think it wasn’t hitting as hard because there was too much time between putting the ice cream in the cup and it changing to streamers. I realized I could logically do the spoon manipulation, then put the ice cream into the cup. I gave it a try at a show yesterday, and it made the ice cream changing to streamers play much better. The new order is:
Educational content
Spoon Manipulation
Educational content
Ice cream goes into a cup, then changes to streamers
It’s way better, and I also like having two shorter educational chunks than one longer one. This morning, I rearranged the video that goes with my show to reflect this in hopefully a more seamless way than yesterday.
