Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from La Vellma´s Vaudeville Budget for Magicians, Mind Readers and Ventriloquists A clever Crystal Gazing act still holds the attention of audiences. from all indications acts of this sort will continue to meet with public favor for some time to come. Of course there are acts and acts. In the near future there will he less acts of this sort, if any, working in oriental costume. New methods will see light and performers will be presenting a crystal gazing act in a full dress suit or tuxedo. Truth is an act of this kind working in full dress or tuxedo will entertain and mystify a modern audience more than the customary Turkish cigarette costume with all the familiar regalia, turban, etc., which arouses suspicion. An entertainer presenting a crystal gazing act should avoid repeating a query as it was written by spectator. If the questions are repeated it is sure to arouse suspicion. Get right to the point give the spectator an answer to his question and if it is answered well that will convince the one who wrote it as well as those around him. He´ll he a booster for your act. Inject some comedy into your answers whenever the opportunity offers itself. Cut and dried answers grow tiresome and then again someone might come into the theatre another day to see your act. If you "plant" a question at every show be sure if you are doing three shows a day that at the two evening shows you use two entirely different queries and two different "plants." If you wish to "plant" questions use different "plants" at every performance. A clever worker can dispense with "boosters" out front. Should you be using a "contact" or "induction" method after answering a number of questions take a small card (upon which your assistant has written the gist of from three to six questions together with the names or initials of the writers) and "palm" it in hand holding crystal ball. Throwing aside your turban (which will make the "wise" ones out front wonder), answer the last query transmitted to you via the electrical method, then as you walk about the stage, every time you wipe the crystal with a large silk flouard, upon which ball rests in your hand, glance at a question and answer them as yon go along. With care you can walk to and stand on rundown and also walk into aisle. While in aisle you are above (in height) the audiences´ beads and this gives you an opportunity of seeing what they are supposed not to see, namely what is written on card you hold in hand. Be careful if you are working this in audience as it isn´t quite as easy as it sounds, but a clever performer can do leaps things and get away with it. If you are capable of working this bit of business in your routine von will find it heightens the effect of act a great deal.
