I have an act that winds down at the end. It is called Citizen Erased after the mucus I use by Muse, and the music is very "up" at the start and "down" at the end. It gets a good reaction from audiences, partly because of the shape. It starts with a technical 5 club routine and ends with me balancing a club on my nose, then laying down, then letting the club fall as the lights cut out and the music ends.
At a convention recently I was booked to do two acts in the gala. Once I saw the line up I was quite adamant about not going on last with that routine. I suggested the show end with a big diabolo number instead, and it turned out to be a good call, partly because ithe Diabolo act ends on a much bigger high, and partly because I dropped in my act more than I would have liked so the shape of my act was messed up anyway.
