The last couple of nights I’ve performed at corporate holiday parties. At both of them I did some roving magic. One of my staples of what I do is a trick where I guess a color someone it thinking of. Over two nights, I have very different results from the trick.


The first night’s event had very loud music, so I really couldn’t do the normal talking that accompanies the trick. That night the trick really fell flat. It was getting a response, but not what it normally gets. The flashier stuff that night played much better, and I stopped doing the color trick about halfway through the gig.


The second night’s event wasn’t nearly as loud, and my normal talk up to the trick was able to be heard. This night the trick played really well. The difference was that I was able to use the premise of the trick to connect with people, versus just telling them what they were thinking.


The trick is solid, but the conditions just weren’t right for it the first night.
