Movie Script Ideas

The film opens with a close up of a coin rolling over the knuckles maybe one, two or three coins - macro shot maybe slo mo

the camera pans back and we see a beautiful close up shot, well lit, grainy in B/W Roll out to star manipulation classic feel

You know, I've been doing this sort of thing for a really long time. And in my darkest hour when the shit is caving in and around you. Those brief moments where I get to stare the real world eye to eye and say in the face of certain doom, FUCK YOU, yeah fuck you!!!

So I'm pretty much an insufferable card man, I hate to say it but it's true. For instance this brand new deck of Bicycle League Backs. . . . gives me a woody.

I like construction in an effect but mostly I'm into bullshit. If you can get them aboard on your weird wonderful world of magic, man that's like nothing else.

You see I used to like end my show by hopping up on the newspaper box and perform the linking rings

But then bureaucracy and bullshit ended my fun. . . . yeah right. Smirk

Something about being way up there a visual spectacle, to grab their attention and create that moment when the rings melt through one and other silently; I look at the crowd, smile and share that feeling. Shit I know how it's done and it still gives me the shivers.

To create good art is paramount. Suspension of disbelief. . . creating moments where special things happen, it's my life's work. I always thought it was a noble thing to make people smile. That's what I try to do with my audience. Create a giant collective smile. . . yeah and then I took two more hits of acid.

Yawns and puts head on hands

falling asleep . . . resting. . . . . . dreaming

Dream sequence music

In the dream sequence the cards are talking and the camera shot is from the Deck Cam Sound effects for cards like the perfect faro gets a "Whose your daddy!" Cards not happy about rough treatment from drunks and argue in small groups. Card cam as heavy set woman clutches and bends the card as she presses it to her bosom, all the other cards wince. Whole thing has kind of a Alice in Wonderland feel

Now up through the hands holding the cards I look down and comment that I'm a downward bow guy. Breaking in deck of cards is very important, with the forefinger of the right hand I flex the packet.
