Mickayla's card manipulation tricks are really impressive. To someone who wouldn't know what to look for, its a very convincing trick. Her card vomiting looks promising but needs a lot of work for perfection. Her back palming (video below, not her by the way) is easily her most promising segment of her performance once it begins to come together.
Lexi's billiard ball disappearing act is coming along. I'm not sure what she'll do from here but I'm anticipating it a lot. The video provided is similar to what she'll be doing. (She is not the Vietnamese man)
Jackson's act is very unique to say the least. He's finished his own script and is refining and memorizing it verbatim. I don't have a video of his performance and am not sure if he wants it out but it's pretty top. He needs to get his cube still and then he can begin to solidify his idea.
More to come after the break.
I really hope to see these tricks in action one day. I thinks it's very cool how the drama people get to learn these types of things. This makes me wish I took drama in the past, or at least taken it this year. Anyways, I wish the best of luck to all the magicians.
ReplyDeleteA lot of educators struggle trying to figure out a way to keep freshmen engaged. Their attention spans are limited.
ReplyDeleteI love that you point out that Lexi is not a Vietnamese man.
I'm glad that he points out I'm not a Vietnamese man, too.
DeleteI enjoyed those videos a lot, I would love to see those tricks in person. Could it be possible that the freshmen are just trying to find an activity for free time thinking there was no reason to actually work in drama? Do they have work to do?
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post, it makes me feel a little sad. I really can't imagine drama club being boring at all. Maybe the freshmen have short attention spans? I would join but I can't, sadly. :(
