Illusion Brainstorming


Last night Brandon and I had a lot of fun planning our new show. In case some of you didn’t know we will be rebranding our entire business through the rest of this year and we will have a new name, logo, promo video, and website being launched in January of next year. With this rebrand I will be a much bigger part of the show so as of now we are designing routines that will include me as often as possible. As opposed to the normal of me just being on stage for just illusions and maybe one or two other tricks, I will be onstage the majority of the time.

Current Illusions

Well we officially picked our next 3 illusions that we should be getting in the next year. One will be released with all the new rebranding material and should hopefully be on the promo video. This is an original illusion that no one has seen before and we are really excited to get it done! The other two we will buy in 2014. I cannot wait to perform them! As of now Brandon and I constantly perform 3 illusions and our 4th illusion is in the workshop being redesigned so it isn't pictured above. We actually just got rid of 2 illusions to make room for bigger & better things. So in our magic career we have retired and given 3 illusions to better homes.
 
Past Illusions

So our show is definitely in the transition stage as of now. When living in Columbia it was always about perfecting the show, and just building it every so often. Now being in a tourist town, we have to be able to revamp our show every year and switch out routines and illusions in order to keep our audiences happy. People will come back every year to the same place just to see you perform and that’s awesome! We have definitely been extremely happy with the way things have turned out since we moved here. This town has so much more potential for us.

I feel like with this completely new dynamic for us with our new look we are finally finding “ourselves” as performers. We always thought we knew what our look was but sometimes it takes an outside eye to help you really see. Now that we have a logo and a feel for who we are, it seems to be so much easier to decide what tricks and illusions fit us best. We don’t want to blend in with other magicians and illusionists. We want to stand out in our own way. Even if we don’t have the most unique tricks out there, we want to be known for our entertainment value. That is our main purpose.
