Guide


SCRIPT:




Setting: Somewhere in Asia where an elephant is passing by.







Boy: (enters stage running and yelling). An elephant! Everybody, come see it, it´s coming, it´s coming. Everybody come out, come and see the elephant… An elephant!




(the blind men enter stage walking slowly with their cranes).




Blind man 1: I don´t know how an elephant looks like.




Blind man 2: Me neither.




Blind man 3: Me neither.




Blind man 4: I would like to know how an elephant looks like.




Blind man 5: Let´s wait so we can touch it.




Blind man 6: We will touch it with our own hands. Our fingers are our eyes.




Guide: (enters with the elephant). Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, this big elephant needs to walk through here. Be careful.




Blind man 1: (walking) Good man, please let this poor blind men touch your elephant. We want to know how it looks like.




Guide: OK. Get near one by one. He´s not dangerous. Don´t be afraid.




Blind man 1: (touches the elephant´s body). Mmmm, I can see: The elephant is like a rough wall.




Blind man 2: (touches the elephan´s leg). No, you are wrong. The elephant is like a tree.




Blind man 3: That´s a lie, that´s a lie! My hands tell me clearly that the elephant is like a spear.




Blind man 4: You are completely wrong. I also touched it and I am sure that it´s like a hand fan, and my fingers don`t lie to me.




Blind man 5: Nobody lies to me. The elephant looks like a snake.




Blind man 6: None of you know how an elephant looks like! I think that the elephant looks like a rope to tie packages.




Blind man 1: How do you dare to insult me? I am sure that it looks like a wall.




Blind man 2: I am telling you that it looks like a tree.




Blind man 5: No, it´s like a snake.




Blind man 3: Snake? Not at all! I am sure it looks like a spear.




Blind man 4: It`s a lie. It looks like a hand fan.




Blind man 6: It´s a rope! It´s a rope!




(the blind men start fighting with each other. There´s great confusion and everybody is talking at the same time).




Blind man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: No one will say that I am wrong… Take this! Ouch, ouch… but I am right…. It´s a rope… It´s a wall… It´s a spear… No, I am telling you that it´s a hand fan… A tree, it´s a tree… Who hit me? Ouch, my back!




Guide: Calm down, calm down! Be quiet! Listen… listen… I will explain everything.




(there`s silence in stage)




Blind Men 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 : Why? …Why?




Guide: (gets into the elephant) Because each of you only touched a part of the elephant. The one who touched the body thought it was a wall. The one who touched the leg thought it was a tree. The one who touched the tusk imagined a spear. The one who felt the ear tought it was a hand fan. The one who touched the trunk remembered the snake, and the shortest one, that only could touch the tail, was sure that the elephant was like a rope.




Blind man 5: Now I understand. Yes, that´s what happened and we all got angry.




Guide: You got so angry that you started fighting with each other.




Blind man 1: We behaved like fools.




Blind man 2: We were wrong.




Blind man 3: We got so furious.




Blind man 4: Because all of us thought we were right.




Blind man 5: But none was.




Blind man 6: Instead of trying to understand.




Guide: Of course, to know the truth we have to know every part.




Blind man 1: We thank you, and the elephant too, for teaching us that it´s better to agree with each other and try to know the truth. Now we know that reality is different depending on how we see it.




Blind man 2: Let´s be friends again.




Blind man 3: Let´s get to know the elephant.




(The blind men walk around the elephant touching it at the same time).




The End.


American poet John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887) based this poem, on a fable that was told in India many years ago.

Moral: there may be some truth to what someone says

5 Great tips for a live magic show



Hi everyone!

As a performer I strongly feel that magicians are an important part of our community. Today I would like to share some helpful tips for a live magic show with you. A friend of mine, who is a magician himself, helped me write this post:

Practice as much as you can. Believe me, this is the main key to success. Practice helps makes your tricks polished, flawless and perfect in front of your audience. It doesn't matter how difficult a trick is, all that matters is how perfectly you executed it in front of your audience, something that can only be achieved through constant practice.

Keep your eyes on the audience. Keeping your eyes on your cards or props the entire time will not make a good impression on your audience. Keeping eye contact will help you understand your audience.

However don't just look at your audience the entire time, interact with them while you perform. Try to start a conversation and keep them engaged, make them a part of your act by asking for volunteers. Again this is something that can only come through practice and experience.

Try to create and maintain a sequence in your performance. Your tricks must be structured, where one trick would lead to another and so on. You can achieve this through the usage of a story or theme. Saving your best tricks for the end of the show is also a great idea.

Keep the anticipation alive. Always give the impression that something even greater is coming next. This helps you prevent anticlimax in your shows and keeps the audience on their feet, eagerly anticipating the next trick.

Illusion, distraction and misdirection are your best friends. They are as much a part of a magician's tools as his/her props are. If employed properly they will give your performance that final push towards perfection.

Please give your feedback :)

7 Great tips for a live puppet show

Hi there! Today I am going to give you some great tips I have learned from my experience about throwing a great live puppet show. Live shows are great, you have the flexibility of adjusting your content and length of your show and you have the option of communicating with your audience and responding to them.
Okay, lets get back to the "tips"and here are few tips I have used to improve my shows.
live puppets show


 Memorize your script. That is a must, the worst thing you can do in a show is forget your lines and end up saying something you should never or read a script during your performance. Memorize the script well and you will be breathing life into your puppet.
Memorizing a script can be tricky at times. I usually create a bullet list of important things and this always works for me. It allows me in moving from one point to other without forgetting important lines I have to use.
At times a routine is still difficult even if I make bullet points out of it, in that case I rewrite it. Works for me, may be would go fine with you as well. Give it a try. Rewrite it and make it comfortable for yourself.

Always be mindful of your audience. I always rewrite and modify my routines to suit my audience. A good routine can be rewritten to suit any age group. Something funny for a preschooler might be boring and dull for the 5th or 6th grader and vice virsa.

I always try to turn my routines to real conversations. Do not perform your skit word to word, practice it as if it is a real conversation and engage your audience. Ask your audience to repeat your words, or ask them interesting questions.

Know your audience, each one of the crowd has a personality and is unique in his own way. Quickly identify their personality and you would be better positioned to get their attention. 

Develop a personality for your puppet, ask yourself questions like How old is he?, Where is he from? What accent he has? his family, friends, birthday etc.

Make your transitions perfect. A good transition helps the audience move along with you and understand the message you are trying to convey.

Last but not the least, always remember, puppetry is an art that involves discipline, great stage presence, enthusiasm and perfect timing. Practice is the key to success. You can use these tips to enhance your performances, with a little extra degree of effort and hardwork you will soon become a pro :)

Good luck for your shows! :)
