THE BLURB:
Vegas Vacation is a brilliantly designed effect that allows
the performer to predict every aspect of the spectators'
imaginary trip to Las Vegas. They will be able to freely
make a variety of choices. In a finale they will always
remember you will reveal a detailed prediction of all their
choices.
You begin the performance by telling the spectators about an
imaginary trip to Las Vegas that you want them to help you
plan. One person is asked to choose an airline, Delta,
United, or American Airlines. Another person is asked to
choose the type of accommodation, economy, deluxe or a
suite. Once these two decisions are made you pass out four
rack cards that might be found in the lobby of a hotel.
They are for the Bellagio, the MGM Grand, the Luxor and the
New York, New York Hotel and Casino. You tell them that you
would like to give everyone a chance to participate so each
person holding one of those cards will choose either the
accommodations, the spa package, the buffet or the Cirque du
Soleil show. As each person chooses, the costs of each
choice are written down on the outside of a pre-printed
envelope. Once all of the choices are made you hand the
envelope to another spectator who you ask to tally the
expenses. To everyone's surprise you have that person open
the envelope and read the enclosed letter that miraculously
predicts their first two choices and the total cost of the
trip.
MY COMMENTS:
This is a Las Vegas version of Larry Becker and Lee Earle's
CRUISE CONTROL (and generously authorized by Larry Becker),
which itself was a version of Larry Becker's CASINO ROYALE.
CRUISE CONTROL, incidentally, is one of my very favorite
routines, but I must say that I favor the Las Vegas trip
scenario just a bit more than the cruise trip presentation.
But that's my style. This can be stunning prediction
routine or one that demonstrates influence and control.
This is a very powerful routine that packs-flat-plays-big.
You can use it to demonstrate influence and control, which
is how I like to present it. You receive the promotional
cards (about twice the size of postcards) which you find in
most hotel lobbies, plus two different prediction letters
(for repeat performances or for variety) and an envelope.
In the four pages of instructions (2 double-sided pages),
there is also a link so that you can download the prediction
letters and the artwork for the envelope.
