The Magicanada Project

Here's an intriguing question... to those of you, like me, who wouldn't touch geek magic with a 10000000 foot pole... If you had to perform ONE geek effect, what would you perform?

For me, it would be Pop-Eye... a truly disgusting effect in which you pull your eye out of the socket.

Well, there are two "geek magic" effects that I use occasionally - though neither is used in the "Maynian" context.

Bleeding Hearts (by me): Magician slices his arm with a selected playing card. As blood runs from his wound, he cleans it away with a paper towel. The blood has stained his arm and has left an impression of the selected card's initials (7C, 9D, etc.)

and

Pocket Sawing in Half (by Andrew Mayne): At some time during the performance, the magician chats about sawing people in half. As a gag, he takes out a piece of paper with a silhouette of a man and holds it in front of his torso. he then has a spectator cut the paper across at the same height as his waist (cutting the picture's waist as well). Ta da! we've cut a man in half! The magician then turns sideways to reveal that his torso and waist have separated by nearly 12inches. After "pulling himself together" he moves on to the next effect.
