Soul Survivor
See Eugene Burger Penguin Live Lecture Vol 2 @54:00
Script
Eugene: "A mystery based on the writing of Albert Camus. Dan, you and I will play a game in which together we represent the two hands of fate. Imagine the space between us is a village. And these few playing cards are people who live in the village. They go about their business, you can move them to. Some of them go to school, others go to work. Some of them go to the theater, others to the movies. Everyone goes shopping. And then, fate comes to our village in the form of a plague."
(1) "I will select two people who get sick. You decide which one dies." Dan selects a queen. "The school teacher."
(2) "You select two people that get sick. I say this one dies." King selected. "The town doctor."
(3) "I say these two get sick." Dan selects the jack. "The little boy."
(4) "You select two people that get sick. I say this one dies". King selected. "The shopkeeper."
(5) "I select two people." Jack selected "The town fool."
(6) "You select two people. I say this one dies." A queen is selected. "The widow."
"And so Dan, fate has come to our little village and rather tidied things up. The tidiness that comes with death. But one card remains, the sole survivor. The plague itself."
*I've made slight adjustments to the script.

Multiple Outs
Multiple outs relies on the use of alternate endings to an effect, by use of more than one potential method. Depending on how the effect proceeds, the appropriate ending is chosen and the necessary method is employed. The particular ending and method are determined by the choices made by the spectator during the effect.(1)

Fading Coin
Created by Tomoyuki Takahashi. Promoted by Eugene Burger.
See Performance and explanation on Eugene Burger Live Lecture Vol. 1 @55:00
Script:
Eugene: "Jacob, this is about that strange line between imagination and reality. So I want you to imagine that there is a coin right here. It's a US quarter, can you imagine it?:
Jacob: "I sure can."
Eugene: "Over here is a second coin, it's a dime. And here is a nickel. And so we have dime, quarter and a nickel. Three coins that exist only in our imagination."
"In a moment you're going to pick one up. But I want you to understand, that the coin you pickup is the coin you use. You will not be given a chance to change your mind. And so that no one in this room is confused when you pick up the dime, the quarter or the nickel, tell us in a nice loud voice what coin you are picking up. Jacob pickup a coin now."
*Dime or nickel picked up*
Jacob: "It's the nickel."
Eugene: "You've got the nickel. You can imagine it."
Jacob: "I can."
Eugene: "Put it in the palm of my hand. (pause) "That was imagination. This is reality." Drops nickel from his hand.
*Quarter picked up*
Jacob: "The quarter"
Eugene: "You've got the quarter. You can imagine it. You can imagine holding the quarter. I will pickup the nickel and the dime. Open your hand. That's imagination. This is reality" (as he opens his hands).
