Just a new routine I came up with and it gets BIG reactions. I start off with the card version of stigmata, complain how much my wrist hurts and move into fixing it with disjointed, then I say how much it hurt and I think I broke something and get them to check my pulse (control). Any thoughts?? Everytime I do it the crowd goes NUTS

It seems okay.. at least it flows. And if the people love it, then it's good I suppose!

ending with control is not good cause IMO its a less appealing effect compared to stigmata because one one person can feel the pulse whereas everyone can see the markings on your hand.

Very smart. It flows good, and when you are done you have shown a degree of complete body control.
As for the transition from disjointed to "control" I thought about saying:
That was very painful. Sometimes I experiment with my body so I could make things less painful. Here, fell my pulse...
Although I see your perspective is more a random one (something hurts and then something happens, rather than you showing control over it). A lot of different perspectives could be used with a routine like this. It personally fits me better to have control over my body, than everything being random. I like the way you present it though.

sounds pretty good. Just I would make sure that you tune up your patter a little bit becuase honestly this is such a good routine that you can seriously play it up with the right story.

Thanks guys, but I can't really say my patter here because it changes depending on the audience :)

How about an overview of what it is usually? I'd love to hear it.

For me, instead of saying that it hurts, say that your hand is losing circulation. Maybe you broke a bone which is cutting off a blood vessel.
