The effect for the prop as supplied runs as follows. The performer shows a large wooden baton, with three cords running through it. At the end of each cord is a ball, two of which are of the same color (say red), and one a different color (say yellow). The performer shows the cords run freely through the holes, and the balls are securely tied on the cords. He claims he will make the ball jump from one cord to the other. He passes the baton behind his back, and the odd colored ball jumps from one end (say left) to the other (right).
The audience is not impressed, they know you are just turning the baton around behind your back. You repeat this once again, and even the politest member of your audience will not hesitate to express their dis-enchantment. You appear offended at not be believed, and offer to prove conclusively that the balls do jump from one cord to the other. The baton is passed behind the back once again, and when brought to the front, the odd colored ball is now tied on the middle rope, between the two similar colored ones.
The model we supply uses thick cords, and large balls, making it very visible even on the larger stage. However, you can easily adapt the baton for use in any of the other presentations that have appeared in print. You could perform this with three large silks, two of the same color, and one a different color. In this case the silks could be examined, then passed through the holes in the baton (with the help of a pencil or slim magic wand) and knotted on top. A very clean cut presentation, not possible with the traditional Monkey Bar. You could use colored ribbons in place of the cords.
Another popular presentation has a set of linked rings from a Linking Ring set tied to two of the cords, and a single ring to the third cord. The linked rings are adjacent to each other at the start, and the single ring appears between them at the finish. Other presentations involve different a fish at the ends of the cords. The fish is at the end of the fishing line. You could use any toy (birds, a monkey, rabbit, or even glo-bugs or aliens) tied to the cords, depending on your presentation theme. A mechanical prop, very easy to use.
Read the Bottom Shocking Climax!
The magician introduces his friend Lily, the ladybug. The children see a large, colorful flat figure, 14 inches high and 10 inches wide, which can be seen even on a large stage.
What do you think, how old is Lily? Immediately the children shout four, because they can see that Lily has four spots. This starts off a jolly game in which the spots change all the time.
First of all there are four spots on one side and two on the other. Then there are six and three. Suddenly one of them has disappeared and there are only five.
All the children are looking for the lost sixth spot. Finally the children pretend to throw this spot to Lily. What a surprise! Since so many children have thrown a spot, Lily now has at least 20 SPOTS! You might think that the trick is now finished, but no, the new spots that have just APPEARED & TURN SILVER!
Boretti has thoroughly revised the old points card and created a completely new game. The previous you've been fooled effect has been done away with so there is no disappointment on the part of the children.
NO Strings, NO Magnets! Easy to transport! Suitable for all ages!
