I have owned this since it was released. Craig is quite creative and thank you Craig. I have taken
the time to do a couple of ways to use these receipts. First is I used to travel for work. So all
over the map is justifiable. But I sympathize with the guys… so yes you do have to get creative and
edit your own. I use power point and I have also used google slides to create printed artwork. Yes I
know those are presentation softwares but you can also us it to create printed items. What I have
done is I look online and I find mom and pop hardware stores or town lumber yards and I create items
with the prices. I do some other things with some Marc Paul ideas the same way. If you use small
suburb town locations around you and create your own, it’s even more organic.
Also chiming
I’m with Craig. Example:
If you are doing a box trick with an assistant, there is no
justification for owning a box with sliding tubes and holes. You can say I purchased a strange box
from Home Depot. But what do guys do… they try to convince everyone it’s a normal empty box.
Everyone knows why they are at your show and they expect things. The first time I presented the
trick I said nothing that was not true… I said I ordered something online and I got envelope full of
receipts. The strange things is they were from all over the place. I said before I threw them away,
I discovered something interesting. Then you perform it. Simply if you hand someone the receipts and
you do not dwell on them other than instruct them to look at what you want them to see… enough said.
You do not need to justify why you were in Arizona. I hope this helps someone.
Also making
your own receipts can make it where I can do larger copies of the receipts so you can perform it to
a parlor where many people can see them.
Once again, creativity. You have to look at the
effects for the concept and idea and run with it. Then MAKE IT YOUR OWN.
Once again, I
hope this helps someone.
