The Act | Create a STROLLING ACT with NO COINS for under £50!!!
This video from 'The Act' team, in collaboration with magician Kevin, presents a tutorial on creating a budget-friendly strolling magic act for under £50, with a unique twist: no coins are allowed, and Craig Petty's products are initially off-limits (though 'Gossip' eventually makes the cut!). The team brainstorms and ultimately recommends a three-effect routine designed to be engaging and adaptable. The act kicks off with the 'Mental Colour Cube' by Dan Har, a versatile mentalism effect perfect for grabbing attention. Next, 'Gossip' by Craig Petty provides a more substantial mentalism routine, offering opportunities for fun and interaction. Finally, the 'Invisible Deck' serves as a powerful closer, praised as a remarkably strong gaff deck that can be used to create a sense of continuity throughout the performance. The video highlights the importance of budgeting, selecting effects appropriate for the strolling environment, and structuring the act with a clear opening, middle, and closer. They also demonstrate how to stay within the budget, finishing with £7 to spare. The team emphasizes the value of the Invisible Deck and encourages viewers to experiment and personalize the routine.
