Natural High

Brock read recently that knowledge creates a natural high. Well, I saw that proven in Brock last night. He performed a brand new show. Just being able to learn all new material and do it put him on cloud nine. He was so excited!

We have a fly show. This is the show we do when we must fly to the venue hence the name fly show. The illusions that we use in this show are small yet play big since we cannot fly with our huge props. In fact, the show we do now fits in a carry on bag. We call it our lost luggage show because if we lose our bag, we can go to Walmart and find all the objects that we need. The show involves rope, cards, spoons, bags, ping pong balls, and a florescent light bulb. Also, he does tricks with some of the audience members' rings and keys. It's a fun and very interactive show. However, we are doing some repeat "fly shows," so we invented a new fly show.

The new show uses all five senses to create the illusion of a sixth sense. There is a scent in the room as the people walk in. We have illusions that invlove sound, sight, touch, and even taste. Many of the illusions involve mentalism which are tricks using the mind. Since it was 90% new material, we had a "dress rehearsal" last night. We invited several friends, including the band Stellar Kart, over to our house. Brock just set up and performed in the living room. It went over very well.
