Switchcraft - the download which just keeps on giving!

What about a script? Have you rehearsed?
Does your presentation (your rehearsed script, your blocking) allow for misdirection? Or in other words, does your "offbeat" follow the scheme AND the theme?
I find there's a lot of great information for mechanics, but not so much their application in context.

If you're worried about using the method, you shouldn't be using it - first of all. Your participants and audience can smell apprehension. It's written all over your demeanor. Get comfortable by plotting and rehearse your plot and demeanor. Everyone type of performer needs a solid plot. Even musicians. And if they don't have an established demeanor -- Oh, have mercy!

And my reply applies to Switchcraft as well. I respect Elliott's work and you should handle it with care.
