In a previous article I
discussed the technique of "pointing up" your Furthermore, by enclosing your prop in nice wrapping, you create an increased sense of value. Have you ever received a present wrapped in really nice wrapping paper? It seems more special than one in cheap wrapping paper or not wrapped at all. Advertisers often use this technique to give a product a sense of value. Crown Royal Whiskey, for example, puts the bottle of whiskey into a royal purple bag before putting it into the box. You can have a little fun by using a Crown Royal bag in your presentation! Don't say anything about the bag or you'll risk offending the teetotalers in your audience. Just casually display it, then remove the object. The whiskey drinkers in your audience will sit up and take notice when they see the bag, and then chuckle when they see that the object isn't a bottle of whiskey. The technique of unveiling a
props can be taken even further by using multiple layers of wrapping. For
example, put an object into a box, that is inside a bag. You create
even more suspense by having multiple layers of wrapping to unveil.
Consider the "Dance of the Seven Veils" Works for the same reason. |
