Spooktacular Halloween decor: how a witch hat can transform your pumpkin lantern

By admin

A witch hat on a pumpkin lantern can be a fun and spooky addition to your Halloween decorations. The combination of the classic witch hat and a glowing pumpkin lantern is a perfect representation of the Halloween season. The witch hat, traditionally associated with witches and magic, adds a whimsical touch to the pumpkin lantern. Its pointed tip and wide brim give it an instantly recognizable silhouette, making it an iconic symbol of Halloween. When placed on top of a pumpkin lantern, the hat further enhances the spooky ambiance and adds a touch of mystery. The pumpkin lantern, on the other hand, is a quintessential Halloween decoration.

The pumpkin lantern, on the other hand, is a quintessential Halloween decoration. Carving a pumpkin and placing a light source inside creates an eerie glow that is both captivating and haunting. The combination of the orange pumpkin and the witch hat's dark color creates a stark contrast that adds to the visual appeal.

Here we go men!
Walk around situation:
You have 6-9 minutes for each group.
No table.
A deck of card.
And I am nice, one odd card.

What would be your strongest set.
And remember everytrick has to be a closer trick by himself.

What would be one of your sets.

Only cards. (sharpie marker included or not?)
Why only one gimmick.

Why not use other props.

What do you do for repeat customers. or people that were sitting at the table next to the one you just performed for.

I admit that I have a limited experience in walk around settings, but I realized (please other correct me if I am wrong) that sometimes your best set is not even magic at all. Only a polite chat/conversation (or a good joke, to make people comfortable if they do not seem to know each other) has sometime a better impact than any magic tricks.

Can I suggest you do a search in the "Table Hoppers & Party Strollers" section of this forum, since your question is related to that setting/situation, or just flip through the pages of posts in that section and read the ones that interest you.

Please answer my questions. And it will help us answer your question(s).

Joe Karson's "The World's Fastest Card Trick."

How many of you even know what it is?

Saturnin,
last month I lost my close up briefcase in the train to my show. It was just magic for cocktail.
I was very lucky because I always carry with me a deck of card, an odd 6 of spades and 3 or 4 ruberbands around it.
And suddenly I couldn't perform my sponge ball routine, my coin work, my rope trick.
So I just wanted to know if you were in this situation what would be the different card tricks you would perform?
That's all.

PS:
Mr Biro: effectively I don't know this trick at all.

Forget the odd card.

1. Set it four aces at the bottom and start with a four ace production - last one one behind glasses.

2. Spectator shuffles and straight into a four ace colour seperation - red aces in black half and vica versa.

3. Ambitious card routine.

4. Signed card to mouth.

5. Ok lets use the odd card place it on bottom reversed and control its match to top - gives a nice in the hands card reversal finisher.

The World's Fastest Card Trick.

This trick, honed to perfection by Karson, was published as a booklet and sold to the magic community. The performance of this trick was the epitome of Karson’s comedic talent. Other than "Zombie," this booklet, or a performance of the trick, is often the only other thing remembered about Joe Karson. When this book was published in 1948, Karson was riding the crest of his wave of popularity. The World's Fastest Card Trick was often a show stopper when Karson performed it at various magic conventions and shows.

Karson released the entire work on this trick. He gave the reader the presentation, the method (what little there was), the patter, and most importantly, the timing. This was truly designed as a personality piece. Not much magic happened at all, just a simple card change. However, in Karson’s hands, this trick literally got screams of laughter when he performed it in his act.

The book was only ten pages, and with the exception of the cover art, had no illustrations. Karson printed and sold a lot of these little books, primarily because so many magicians had seen him perform the trick so effectively. Although over fifty years old, the book is still available today and it's not that difficult to find original (and often autographed) copies. This book should be studied by every magician with comedic aspirations.

then you should really read this thread, as it is about a very similar situation:

Right, in that case I'd open with that. People are familiar with card tricks and coin tricks. Rubber bands are different enough that they can really set you apart.
