My brain is doing mental press-ups today.
I've got a choice between two expensive tricks and I don't know which to go for.
The first is a giant-sized version of the old walnut shell and pea con trick. The 'shells' are about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide with the 'pea' being a 2 inch green ball. It's going to cost about £300 to bring in from the USA but I'm not sure how people in the UK will react to it. I've asked the people on my business network to have a look at a video on Google of somebody doing the trick and feed back their comments to me.
The second is a costume that I reckon will go down a storm whenever and wherever I use it. Imagine the standard magician carrying a top hat with a rabbit in it and then turn it around so the rabbit is carrying the hat with the magician in it! This is going to cost about £500 (gulp) and will be made-to-order so will take as long as the trick to arrive. The positive side is that I would be able to walk around at an exhibition and help to promote my client in a more direct way. The downside is that I don't know if the jacket has any pockets to store tricks or if I can store them in the hat or whatever. I'll just have to keep pushing the supplier for an answer. Perhaps the threat of losing a large sale will spur them into action!
May the magic be with you.
