The Act I A TABLE act with NO COINS for £200+
This video is a fantastic tutorial demonstrating how to build a compelling table magic act within a budget of £200+, with a unique twist – no coins are allowed! The creator, part of the Alakazam team, walks you through the process of constructing a routine from scratch, using a dice-rolling system to add an element of surprise and engagement. The act cleverly incorporates five key props from Alakazam: 'Color Psychology' by Adam Wilber, praised for its visual appeal and strong ending; 'The Professional's Fire Wallet' by Murphy's Magic Supplies Inc., used for a striking card appearance effect; 'Limitless and FREE refill' by Peter Nardi, enabling a seemingly impossible card reveal; 'Color Match Pocket' by Promystic, a compact version of the classic effect perfect for table magic; and the 'PMR Standard Receiver' by ProMystic, essential for the Color Match Pocket to function. The creator details a specific act structure, starting with the Fire Wallet, moving to the Limitless card reveal, then engaging the audience with a collaborative Color Match Pocket activity, and culminating in a powerful prediction using 'Color Psychology.' A particularly clever idea is the Christmas-themed variation, where the Color Match Pocket is used to create a personalized Christmas sock design, with business cards printed on the back of the drawings as a giveaway. Overall, the video is enthusiastic and inspiring, encouraging magicians to experiment and adapt props to create their own unique and engaging routines, especially during the holiday season.
