Ringtone

Good morning, folks. Been working on a stand-up performance
which would have me entertaining a group of ladies at a non-profit
event for 30 to 60 minutes. Any suggestions would be
welcomed. I am thinking black tie and mentalism. Tell me if
I am being sexist, but I don't think women relate to card
tricks very well. They need more effects with engaging
stories. Let me know what you know ...

This week I received ellusionist's "Ringtone". After seeing
the videos and listening to the trash talk on The Magic
Cafe, it was easy to surmise how the trick worked, but I
was interested in the performance nuances, so I made the
purchase.

Suffice to say Adam does a good job teaching technique to
sell the effect of changing someone's ringtone. I am
particularly interested in following this up with Daniel
Garcia's "Pressure" where you push a cell phone into an
inflated balloon (there's also a real nice twist on this
available on YouTube which has an inflated balloon with the
phone inside of it resting on the spectator's hand).

Anyway, the DVD is well produced and informative and the
accompanying gimmick is well-made.

It is a good trick and I am anxious to try it out. Adam
suggests routinely visiting your local electronics store to
play with the newest phones so you can stay up-to-date on
their differences. The truth is this is probably
unnecessary. Most phones work in very similar ways.

If you have any questions, let me know. Overall, I give it
a thumbs up but you are paying for a gimmick that is
readily available elsewhere if you know what you are
looking for.
