1. HIPPITY HOP RABBITS (Custom made)
This colorful comedy trick has a startling surprise climax - a great sucker effect in which the audience screams that they know "how it's done" just to discover they didn't know after all!
Two cute wooden cut-outs are show. One is a white rabbit and the other a black rabbit. A cover, decorated with a white top hat is placed over the white rabbit and a cover with a black top hat is placed over the black rabbit.
The magician explains that the rabbits will change places. This is performed at least three times - and the audience becomes more exasperated as the trick progresses. Yes, the rabbits change places, but the audience can't miss the way the performer keeps turning the covers (and their contents) throughout the sequence. At the finish, there is only one explanation possible - the white rabbit has a black rabbit on its reverse side and the black rabbit has a white rabbit on its reverse side. The younger and less inhibited members of the audience will not be slow in shouting out the "secret"- and that's exactly what the magician wants!
Imagine the laughter and surprise and applause when the reverse side of the white rabbit is shown to be RED and the reverse side of the black rabbit is shown to be YELLOW! The spectators may even examine the rabbits to prove to themselves that they are solid and in one piece.
You get the two rabbit cut-outs on their own stands, and the two covers. THESE WERE CUSTOM MADE, NO INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED. Watch a dealers demo. The rabbits stand 15 " tall. E-mail me for photos.
2. BABY TAIL SPIN
Printed in beautiful colors on a heavy gloss board, TAIL SPIN will make your head spin! This hilarious prop is guaranteed to make kids snort and bray! They won't be able to keep their laughter "burro"-ed!You show a picture of the cutest little ol' donkey you ever saw. But the poor fellow is missing his tail. Slide the donkey picture (a very visible 5 x 8.5 inches) into an envelope with a large window. A child pretends to throw the tail, and when you pull out the donkey, the tail is stuck to his nose. His eyes are crossed and his ears bent back in surprise! Kids howl! It's not the helper's fault -- you know how stubborn donkeys are! Put it back in, try again, and this time when you pull it out, the tail is completely gone. You look all around for it, and suddenly the kids scream their lungs out because the tail is hanging out of the back of your pants! Trust me on this, the children will weep with joy! This bit of tomfoolery can be used in a variety of settings. It's perfect for birthday parties, of course, but it works great in day care shows, library programs, and school assemblies. Based on an idea by Edwin Hooper with a twist by Selina Frederick. Using Selina's wonderful artwork, TAIL SPIN is printed in full color on heavy boards with a high-gloss finish. You're bound to get a KICK out of this one!
3. COLOR CHANGING SHOELACES
The performer shows a yellow shoelace and pulls it through his hand where it emerges green. When the audience members suspiciously point to the performers closed fist, he opens the hand to reveal a red shoelace.
4. SPOTTY
The performer displays a black cloth bag with white polka dots on the outside. From the bag he removes a plain white and a plain black handkerchief. The bag is turned inside out to show it's empty. Placing the silks inside the bag, the magicianexplains to the audience that he'll make them switch places. After saying the magic words he removes the silks saying that the white handkerchief is now blue and the blue handkerchief is nowwhite. The audience is understandably unimpressed. Offering to try something even better the magician then announces that he'll place the silks back inside and this time make spots appear on them. However, after removing the same old hankies from the bag there are more complaints from the audience (apparently they didn't believe that you put white spots on the white handkerchief and black spots on the black one!) The magician offers to try things one last time and places the silks back inside and...this time it works! You pull out a white hank covered with black spots and the black hank has white spots all over it! "But wait, there's one more spot left in the bag!" the performer explains, and turns the bag inside out transforming it into a hand puppet of a dog named Spot! Quality made by Ickle Pickle.
