Volume Five – The Ovation

In this fifth of five volumes, Scott teaches you about the “Rule of Three” and how to create an effective closing effect for your show. Revealed in the Director’s Guide on this volume are tips and tricks on getting standing ovations, using callbacks, running gags, and effectively planning your entire show program. In the Character Building section, Scott reveals how scripting inspires confidence, consistency and star quality. Also covered in this section are crafting your image and consistency on social media, and making people want to hire YOU!

On this DVD, there are four examples of opening tricks described and explained in full detail, including:

HUMAN SEWING MACHINE
A streamlined and inexpensive version of Scott & Puck’s The Needles — strong enough to be used as a closer or anywhere in your show.

TOXIC ACAAN SQUARED
The Magic Square gets a reboot by infusing the classic ACANN plot TOXIC FORCE and a kicker ending that makes the audience jump to their feet.

STARS
A warm and enchanting closing effect combining Dan Harlan’s Starcle and the classic Snowstorm, creating an ultraviolet and unforgettable audience experience. Scott closes with this one a lot because of its strong audience appeal.

HYDRO-TASTIC GLASS
A thoughtful version of the Hydrostatic glass you can make for pennies, combined with a wonderful premise based on the philosophy of Bruce Lee.
