Magic Whack Teach-In #1
Hello Whack readers,
I've decided to do something constructive for the world of magic and give you some free magic tips. In this, my first 'Teach-in' I'm going to show you how to create bizzarre magic effects.
Creating your own bizzarre magic isn't as hard as you may have imagined.
1) Pick a trick out of Magic for Dummies or any basic book. Let's take for example the bouncing bread roll trick.
2) Make up a spooky story. If you can't make one up then go to the library and get a book that has some in. It needs to be quite a long story, at least 10 - 15 minutes. Let's say it's going to be one about a spirit that possesses someone for a bit of a laugh.
3) Buy some flash paper.
Now simply tell the story, be as mono-tone as you like, bizzarre performers are usually dull fuckers. After spending 10 minutes on the story, light some flash paper, make an 'oooohhhhhhhhhhh' noise and bounce the bread roll and say "see even the bread is possessed".
It also helps if you grow a really stupid looking beard.

Dead on. Bizarre magic is nothing other than lackluster magic wrapped in long, meandering stories. Bizarreists are just like a guy who "gets thirty minutes" out the change bag, only in this case we have two-bit melodramatics.
My friend told me of Doc Hilford going twenty minutes with some lame effect featuring a copper/silver coin. This has to be illegal in some localities.
