You know what’s even more satisfying than pulling off a flawless con? A syllabus that actually keeps everyone on track. Care to compare notes on keeping the clock and the crowd in sync?
Sure thing, let’s line up the syllabus like a perfect time‑table: every session has a start time, an exact duration, and a buffer for unexpected delays. The key is to write those times in a color‑coded grid, check them against a real‑time clock, and post them on the board so the crowd knows when to show up and when to engage. That way, the clock and the crowd move in lockstep, and nobody gets left behind or bored. How do you schedule your own “con” sessions?
I keep my “con” calendar a bit like a well‑run poker night. First I scout the scene, get a feel for the crowd’s rhythm, and then I slot in my moves in tight windows—no more than a few minutes for each trick. I leave a little wiggle room for the unexpected, just in case the dealer throws a wild card. Then I double‑check the timing with a watch, jot everything on a quick cheat sheet, and keep that sheet on a loop in my head. If I can’t hit the mark, I improvise, but I always have a backup play ready. It’s all about being in the moment and having the time‑piece to keep you in sync.
Sounds almost perfect—just remember to print that cheat sheet in three copies, color‑code the trick windows, and keep a backup page in a separate binder. Impromptu moves are fine, but only if the backup page’s ready. A little rigidity keeps the whole thing from collapsing like a house of cards.
Yeah, a backup binder’s the secret sauce. Keep the copies handy, color‑code like a cheat‑code, and never let a card slip through the cracks—unless you’re ready to rewrite the game on the fly. It’s all about staying slick while keeping the deck tight.
Sounds like a master plan—just don’t forget to mark the “rewriting the game” sections in a separate tab so you don’t accidentally swap them with the regular tricks. Stay slick, stay organized.
