I perform Chris Philpott’s “Speechless”
When I first learned about the “100th Monkey” effect years ago, I knew that I had to learn how it was done. Obviously I’m not going to give the secret away, but all I’ll say is that it’s a brilliant concept. However, I ended up sitting on this for years, mainly out of fear that it wouldn’t work. There’s an inherent risk in dual reality tricks that something will go wrong to ruin the impact for the chosen participant and the rest of the audience. This week, however, I decided that it was finally time to give it a shot. While there was a little issue at first, I’d like to think that I managed to steer it back on track for a strong finish. Definitely a routine I’ll work on refining for future performances.
Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I shamelessly borrowed the “I am hypnotizing you” bit from Jonathan Ian Mathers and the “Letters letters letters letters” bit from Dan Povenmire.
