WHACKED by MARK ELSDON
(Originally sold for 180.00)
(This is not the download - this is the original release with everything needed to perform.)
The performer introduces a book, "Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure",
which he says he has enjoyed reading recently. After briefly explaining
the concept of 'Googlewhacking', he passes the book to a member of the
audience, who looks through the book and eventually decides on one of
the 'Googlewhacks'. After some typically funny byplay and a couple of
false starts, the performer gets serious and tries a proper test. He
detects subtle inflections in the participant's voice and is able to
discern specifically which letters the participant is thinking about and
consequently the exact words which comprise his chosen 'Googlewhack'.
The participant is allowed to keep the book as a gift and a souvenir.
So
what exactly is 'Whacked!'? It is a 10 minute mind-reading routine
which revolves around Dave Gorman's best-selling book "Googlewhack
Adventure". If you've no idea what that is, you can bring yourself up to
speed by heading over to http://www.davegorman.com/googlewhack
You
receive everything you need to perform this incredible routine,
including full details of Mark's script and psychological approach -
which is one of the things that lifts 'Whacked!' head and shoulders
above so many other book-tests. The presentation has been honed over
many, many performances for a wide variety of audiences, which ensures
that the routine plays as well for a group of top professionals at a
business luncheon as it does for a crowd of hip college students at a
birthday party. The presentation is funny, sophisticated and guaranteed
to deliver a great audience reaction every time it is performed.
The
technical demands on the performer are minimal: no pre-show, no forces,
no anagrams to remember and the book used, "Dave Gorman's Googlewhack
Adventure" is absolutely normal and may be given away at the end of each
performance (in fact we encourage you to do so!) The 'method' is
entirely self-contained and will withstand the closest scrutiny. There
literally is nothing for any spectator or participant to 'see'. Also,
there are no extraneous props - everything used to perform 'Whacked!' is
entirely natural to the proceedings, with no justifications required
for any aspect of the handling. This leaves the mentalist free to
concentrate on just one thing: entertaining his audience.
Finally,
you'll be pleased to know that the principles and techniques used to
accomplish 'Whacked!' are not dependent on the use of Dave Gorman's book
and that ANY book may be used in ANY language. This booklet contains
full instructions on how to alter the method for use with other books.
Whilst not impromptu, the preparation is minimal and does not need to be
repeated for subsequent performances. The method makes use of modern
technology, but there is nothing to break, run out or let you down
during a performance.
'Whacked!' is not another book-test to add
to your collection. It is a fully developed, real-world performance
piece designed to be used by a professional performer at paid shows.
