This is my first review for Talk Magic. I hope you like it.
The Effect
You show two wooden paddles, one with a parrot and one with a cage. With a little magic you make the parrot fly to the other paddle and land in the cage. That is basically it but of course you can beef it up a bit with the correct presentation. For instance you could start with the Parrot in the cage and tell a story of how it escaped etc, etc.
Cost 7.50 from Loony bin. or 5.00 from Prudhoe Magic.
Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
Its a paddle trick so you have to know how to do the Paddle Move but there is a detailed account of how to do it in the instructions. 2
Review If you like Paddle tricks as I do then it is a great addition and Adults and Kids will both like it. It is a different angle from the usual Paddle Tricks where spots or jewels appear and disappear. The fact that it is a bird and a cage should give a good presentation. The props are well made and the paddles are wooden which adds a nice touch. All in all I like this very much.
Overall A great effect, lovely props and a nice price.
