The Doug Henning Magic Wand Club

 You got a great gig, walk around doing magic. There are the people are, your magic is ready, how do you break the ice at the initial contact?
Some formats require you to approach people somewhat randomly to perform, for example restaurant table hopping, greeters at shows and walk-around in lobbies, parties or fairs. To make things worst, you’re not the reason they’re there, you’re a side event – the entertainment between events. Kids are easy (remember to touch base with their parents first) but most adults are hesitant – how can we break down that initial reluctance to watch your effects?
April’s meeting will be a brainstorming session among members to exchange and workshop techniques to make positive initial contacts with strangers. Once your performance starts you ‘score’ or ‘die’ on your own ability, but making a good initial contact is essential to at least being given the shot.
Bring an effect that has worked for you and your own ideas and a notebook as no doubt there will be lots to inspire!
