This time, we're providing ten routines that have served us incredibly well over the years and will get incredible reactions from EVERYBODY in the room.
So, in no particular order..
- Appearing Lollipop from Flash Paper - This is killer and looks amazing too. Imagine the surprise when a lollipop appears from a burst of flash paper!
- Cards Across - Cards travel from one side of the room to the other. It's a classic effect that's always a hit.
- Sponge Balls - One ball magically travels from your hand into theirs. It's a simple but powerful trick that never fails to amaze. With a bit of additional routining, all sorts of incredible magic will happen. Why not vanish both balls at the end and make them re-appear in a wine glass that is upside down and covered by a napkin!
- Pocket Size Colouring Book - The stage version gets killer reactions, and so does the close-up variation. It's a versatile trick that's perfect for kids.
- Vanishing Handkerchief - Vanish a silk and make it reappear anywhere. David Kaye makes it appear in a kid's sock, I make it appear out of my mouth. Combine the two and you have a killer routine!
- A Rope Routine - Richard Sanders' Fire Optics Extended is an amazing resource, and my rope routine has served me well on stage, up close, and just about everywhere else.
- Divorce by Justin Miller - I have said it before and I'll say it again, this routine is so versatile EVERYBODY LOVES IT.
- Linking Jelly Finger Rings - It's not officially available yet, but for now, grab yourself two jelly sweet finger rings, a craft knife, and stick one back together so they are linked. Simply switch the sweets using a standard Bobo's pass as you pass them from hand to hand and link them together. Eat them to destroy the evidence!
- The Amazing Coin Box - This close-up illusion fits in your pocket and at £15 it's an absolute steal. Click [here].
