Magic Tricks

Watching Terry Ward get information from the audience is great. A simple question "how do you 2 know each other?" got a huge laugh as did simply asking a volunteer how she spelled her name. These are the little things that you can take away from Terry's performance that will make you so much more memorable as a performer.

Terry teaches his routine Coins Across and Chicago Opener, as well as a nice Si Stibbons deck routine. These are good, but chances are you've seen something pretty close to them before.

The 3-shell game is where he really teaches an extremely original and entertaining routine. Terry's 3-shell game has a lot of room for jokes and playing with audience but he never makes the audience feel like a sucker, even though he weaves lots of magic and sneaky moves into the routine. If this routine doesn't make you go out and buy a nice set of shells, I don't know what will.

His final cards to pocket routine is also very clever and again, the great part of the routine is how he uses multiple members of the audience and works them into the routine.

I did miss Dan as the host, I felt like a few things got glossed over that Dan would have pointed out. For example, alot more time could have been spent on the Si Stibbons stack, both as an explanation about what the stack is, and also why Terry likes it so much and how he uses it.
