FURTHER EDUCATION - John Archer

Hvis nogen inden for denne branche har ”funny bones”, så er det i den grad engelske John Archer, der på formidabel vis formår at kombinere mentalmagi med comedy. Hans tidligere EDUCATING ARCHER DVD’er var intet mindre end fantastiske, og nu har han netop lanceret denne opfølgende dobbelt-DVD med 10 nye rutiner for scene, stand-up og close-up.

Her får du chancen for at opleve en fuld LIVE optræden med en John Archer i topform. Bl.a. får du vist ”Blank Night” rutinen, der snød Pen & Teller i et populært TV-show og gjorde, at John vandt en Las Vegas kontrakt. Selve numrene – se listen nedenfor – er super gode, men der er lige så meget at lære ved at se på, hvordan John håndterer forsamlingen med gags og en ualmindelig fin fornemmelse for timing og situationskomik.

Efter showet giver han dig, sammen med Peter Nardi, en fuld og udførlig forklaring på alle mentalnumrene og tankerne bag. De lægger det hele frem, så du selv kan plukke den eller de rutiner, der passer bedst ind i det eget show. I alt 228 minutter, som du ikke må gå glip af, hvis du underholder det voksne publikum!

Indhold:

Blank Night: John’s extremely clean version of the “bank night” plot is a super-charged routine that is jam-packed with perfect in-built comedy, audience participation and a plot packs in plenty of entertainment value for an opening routine! Something, nothing, mine, yours or… sex?!

De-Ja-Tu: A girl is thinking of a card and a man is invited to deal freely through a shuffled deck of cards. Amidst a cavalcade of comedy, the couple end up with a coincidence that is as baffling as it is entertaining; in short, a brilliant two-person mind reading effect that appears to happen between the minds of the spectators.

One Lucky Number: Serial divination given the Archer treatment! Imagine taking a usually smaller effect and turning it into a full stand-up performance piece! Think serial number, burnt & restored note and signed note in wallet; all rolled into one mega, magical extravaganza!

Soundbox: A hilarious routine in which you gamble everything on a simple game of choice! One box, one lock, five keys and tonnes of entertainment! A well-constructed presentation and excellent method make this a logical, funny and baffling lock and key routine. Bet everything you have on the power of your auditory sense!

Comedy Killer: A brilliant new routine based around a very funny presentation about learning to become a mind reader – your audience will become engaged in your studies with Professor Hoffmann when honing your ESP abilities, before they themselves get the chance to test their own. One envelope, one choice and one stunning climax!

Starstruck: Stars of Stage & Screen are the theme for this popular item from John’s act. A real lesson in how small props can be used to play a much larger routine that is clean and direct mindreading at its very best. A simple plot that can open up a string of revelations that will give your spectator the feeling you are really reading their thoughts.

Stick with It: Multiple audience participation; several random numbers, one prediction and a stunning kicker that will knock their socks off! A multiple number routine like none you have ever seen before. No gimmicked notepads required, this is a really organic approach to the add-a-number plot using a small number of items to create a routine large enough to fill an entire stage.

Streetwise: John’s brilliant book-test that uses remote viewing as a premise, a street map for a prop and a series of revelations with different audience members; this is destined to become a classic and combines all the best elements of the best book test routines to take your audience on the ultimate mental journey! Please note that although the prop is explained in full, the book i ts
