BE MORE FUNNY by Christopher T. Magician - Book

\n

Be More Funny ist ein Meisterkurs zur Erstellung komischer Magie-Routinen von Grund auf. In seinen 492 Seiten legt Christopher W. Barnes (internationale Bekanntheit als Christopher T. Magician) achtundzwanzig klassische Komik-Tropen dar, die Sie in bekannten Routines finden werden. Paaren Sie jeden Trope mit einer gewünschten Effekt und schaffen Sie Ihren eigenen, originellen Routine, der sicherlich zum Lachen führen wird.

\n

Zusätzlich zu den achtundzwanzig Tropen enthält Be More Funny auch achtundzwanzig vollständig skriptierte und lustige Routines, die in Comedy-Clubs, Festivals, Varieté-Shows, Konventionen und anderen Veranstaltungen für Jahre geprägt wurden.

\n

\n
• "Lemon Party." Der Magier versucht, ein verschwundenes Geldstück im Lemon zu reappear, aber die Ergebnisse sind vollkommen unerwartet und lustig. Magiker nennen dies das beste Bill in Lemon je gesehen.
\n
• "A Cheesy Trick." Wert der Buchpreis! Geben Sie einem Bühnen-Zuschauer eine Packung American-Cheese-Scheiben, und erhalten Sie einen automatischen Ansturm von Zuschauer-Lachen.
\n
• "Nail-Biter." Die traditionelle Smash and Stab Routine kann gefährlich sein und ein wenig anticlimactic. Nicht diese Version. Während der Bühnen-Helfer im Versteck ist, sind die Zuschauer in dem Geheimnis, vollständig bewusst, dass es absolut keine Gefahr gibt ... oder ist es das?
\n
• "Deck to the Future." Der klassische Card Story Plot wird auf die Zuschauer konzentriert und macht es viel interessanter als andere Versionen. Es endet mit einem schockierenden Kicker, um eine magische Note in den Komik-Prozess zu bringen.
\n
• "Vaper Caper." Magiker haben über die Jahre Geldstücke, Uhren, Ringe, Schuhe und alle möglichen persönlichen Gegenstände von Zuschauer-Mitgliedern geborgt und zerstört. Christopher bringt den Plot "Borrowed and Destroyed" in die moderne Zeit durch das Bashing eines geliehenen Vapegeräts während einer missglückten Karten-Trick, was den Mitwirkenden ärgert und den Zuschauer zum Lachen bringt.
\n

\n

Zusätzlich teilt Christopher vierundvierzig "Card Force and Reveal" Ideen mit, um die Vielseitigkeit jedes Tropens auf der Liste zu demonstrieren. Obwohl nicht skriptiert, sind sie der Ausgangspunkt für potentiell lustige Karten-Routines.

\n

Aber warten Sie! Es gibt noch mehr! Be More Funny enthält auch unentbehrliche Informationen zur effektiven Findung Ihres Bühnencharakters sowie Tipps zum Schreiben komischer Dialoge und deren Hinzufügen zu Ihren Routinen.

\n

Be More Funny ist unerlässliches Lesematerial für jeden Magiker, der Komik in seine Aufführungen integrieren möchte.\n\n

Be More Funny is a master class in building comedy magic routines from the ground up. In its 492 pages, Christopher W. Barnes (internationally known as Christopher T. Magician) lays out twenty-nine classic comedy magic tropes you've no doubt encountered in some of the most famous routines in magic. Pair any trope with an effect of your choice, and the result will be your own, original routine, guaranteed to leave audiences in hysterics.

In addition to the twenty-nine tropes, Be More Funny includes twenty-nine fully-scripted and hilarious routines, each one honed in comedy clubs, festivals, variety shows, conventions, and other performance venues for years.

Routine highlights include:

• "Lemon Party." The magician attempts to make a vanished bill reappear inside a lemon, but the results are completely unexpected and hilarious. Magicians who've seen it have called this the best Bill in Lemon ever.
  
• "A Cheesy Trick." Worth the price of the book! Hand a package of American cheese slices to an onstage volunteer and receive an automatic onslaught of audience laughter.
  
• "Nail-Biter." The traditional Smash and Stab style routine can be dangerous and, frankly, a little anticlimactic. Not this version. Unlike the onstage helper, the audience is in on the secret, fully aware that there is absolutely no danger ... or is there?!
  
• "Deck to the Future." The classic Card Story plot updated to focus on the audience, making it far more relatable and interesting than other versions. To top it off, it ends with a shocking kicker to bring a bit of magic to the comedy proceedings.
  
• "Vaper Caper." Magicians have Borrowed and Destroyed money, watches, rings, shoes, and all sorts of personal items from audience members over the years. Christopher brings the Borrowed and Destroyed plot into the modern day by bashing a borrowed vaporizer to pieces during a misguided card trick, much to the chagrin of the volunteer and the hysterics of the audience.

Along the way, Christopher also shares forty-two "Card Force and Reveal" ideas to demonstrate the versatility of each trope on the list. Though not scripted, each one is the starting point for a potentially hilarious card routine.

But wait! There's more! Be More Funny also includes invaluable information on effectively finding your onstage character as well as tips on writing comedic dialogue and adding it to your routines.

Nothing is spared. Be More Funny is essential reading for any magicians serious about adding comedy to their acts.
