Through Fading Colors

It's alreay mid-March and I haven't got a concrete outline yet for my magic show on April 24. Yes for those of you who don't know, I am, or used to be, a magician doing magic shows for kids and psychological illusions for more mature audience.

I'll base my routine mostly on the one I've been doing since time immemorial. I'm just concerned that the coloring book act is getting a bit old and tiring. Not that it's a bad trick. It's just that it seems that everyone (magician) has been doing this and the routine itself has exhausted most of its fun factor because of its wide use. My whole act will sorely miss this part of the routine. Not to mention the fact that buying a prop can sometimes cost an arm and a leg so it's really wise to utilize what you already have.

Or maybe I can breathe new life into this dying trick. I'll give myself a few days to really think of giving new twists and turns to the usual coloring book act. The same way with old songs, I think a cute revival is what I need here. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the meantime.
