The basic technique used in Quarterly Report is far from new. Max Maven had a whole DVD on the
subject, but no effect I've come across has excited me like this one. It is so simple and direct,
but can be very powerful in performance.
Rick's presentation is incredibly engaging and
thought-provoking. He could probably perform this in a TED Talk in front of psychologists and they
would buy it. That being said, certain aspects of the presentation don't fit my performing style,
but the routine is flexible.
Those new to performing may want to stray away, as the method
demands boldness. I can only speak on my own personal experience, and I will say that I would not
have had the guts to perform something like this when I was starting out.
All in all, it's
a simple and dynamic effect that packs incredibly small and leaves a lasting impression.
