As a comedy magic performer I'm always looking for more ways to make people laugh and gasp at the
same time. This is one of those rare ones that gets it done real fast!
I am incorporating
this as part of my opener, after making a bowling ball appear.
The amazing part of it all
is that it squeezes down to the pretty flat (about 2-3 inches) which allows you to produce from
almost impossible places (a large manila envelope, etc.)
Or you could use it like the
normal Vanishing Bottle routine as well, no problem.
No instructions came with mine, but it
wasn't too tough to figure out what to do with it though it would be nice to have a few additional
ideas.
I used a scissors to open up the place where air enters & exits because the original
size made a whistling noise and it made the 'inflation' of the prop slower. After widening the
opening, the whistling noise was gone and the prop almost pops open instantly, which is perfect.
It DOES get a few scratches and markings everytime you squeeze it flat and stuff but in all
honesty, it makes it look MORE realistic!
If I had the money, I'd buy 10 and make it a
running gag in my show!
