Rocky Racoon
Posted: Jan 6th, '04, 23:39
Not really magic but there wasn't a reveiw so I thought I'd do one.
The Effect
As I said, not really magic. Rocky Racoon, or one of his furry friends, is a puppet. He can eat out of your hand, play dead, nod/shake his head etc.
You can also buy a Zig Zag illusion for your furry friend, I've seen it at Daytona magic, there's a demo there under Zig Zag rocky not bought one though.
Cost
£23.99 from www.magicbox.uk.com/product.php/005/00346/
They don't seem to be selling it here anymore but there is a demo www.daytonamagic.com/Main-Pages/videoclips.htm#browse
I'm not sure where else it's sold.
Difficulty
1/2 out of 5
The moves are pretty easy to master, but some work has to be done on getting them to look real.
Review
Very good, I showed this to my 5 year old cousin the other day (memory like goldfish!) and he loved it, he says he is going to look after it when I go on holiday ! My other cousin (8, I think!) said he wanted to strangle it( worrying), but I don't think he ment it as he gave it a hug and said goodbye to it when he left. My neighbour thought it was real, and absolutley loves it. So what else can I say except if you deal with kids, I would seriously suggest buying one. I don't have a lot of magic at the moment that I feel would appeal to kids so this, for me, is a good way of entertaining them. I would watch though, some people may think it is real and be afraid of it, my gran for instance, so watch who you show this to.
Overall
I would definatly recomend this. 100/10!!!!!!!
By the way, also watch this around dogs, my neighbours dog was keeping a VERY close eye on it!!!!!
