Andrew
Mayne (creator of Ghost Vision, Gut Buster and Ghost Ink) presents a
frightening, visual way to reveal a word or image to your audience.
The performer presents a mysterious dark substance. He alludes to
the idea that it was acquired through nefarious means. A spectator
is invited to choose a word or the name of a famous deceased person
(using a force taught on the DVD)
A blank card is placed into a plastic container along with the
substance. It begins to stain the card and form the word or the
thought of image. The bag containing the revelation is given to the
spectator to keep as a dark memento.
Stain can be performed close-up and on stage. Stain uses household
materials and can be prepared in minutes.
WARNING: This DVD also includes Andrew Mayne's short film: The
Stain. It contains disturbing imagery and is not intended for
younger audiences.
shiv
shiv: 1.). A makeshift weapon
2.). A deadly game player with a sharp object
Based upon Andrew Mayne's Stab'd effect. Shiv is a disturbing
presentation of Russian Roulette using a sharpened pencil.
One sharpened pencil goes into one of four envelopes - the others
containing harmless straws. A victim is given a totally free choice
and must eliminate three of the envelopes by stabbing their own
body!
The final envelope is revealed to contain the deadly shiv!
Shiv is easy to perform and under the performer's complete control.
No special props or gimmicks are required. It can be performed
impromptu.
