Stop Light Trick......$12.00
Here's a really great sucker-type trick that will get the kids all excited
for they think they have caught the magician and figured out the trick.
Three jumbo cards, each with a colored spot on both sides, are
show to the audience. The cards represent the colors of the traffic
light. Green for go, Red for stop, and Yellow for caution. The three
cards are squared up and placed into a folded piece of newspaper
or under a large cloth.
Now the magician removes the red spot card and shows it on both
sides and then places it aside. Next the green spot card is removed,
show on both sides, and also placed aside. That leaves the yellow
spot card inside the paper. The magician claims that the yellow spot
card has vanished from the paper, looks inside, and tells the
audience it is gone, without showing the audience inside the paper.
Of course, the kids don't take the performer's word and want to see
inside for themselves. Here's where the performer can have a lot of
fun and this can be played up to the best of the performer's acting
abilities. Finally the performer opens up the paper and shows there
is a card with the word "WRONG" on it in big bold letters. The paper
is shown on both sides and can be crumbled up and tossed into the
audience as there is truly nothing inside. It appears that the yellow
spot card has indeed vanished and the audience was WRONG in
thinking it was still inside the paper.
But wait, now the kids want to see what's on the back side of the
WRONG card, as the magician has not yet shown that side, so the
kids think the yellow spot is on that side. So now the performer
engages is some more comedy by-play with the kids about turning
the card over to the other side. Any of the old classic gags can be
brought into play at this time. Finally, with the kids in a frenzy, the
performer turns the WRONG card over to the other side for the kids
to see, not the yellow spot, but "WRONG AGAIN" in big bold letters!
