Clown Noses

Postby AJ » Mar 14th, '07, 23:14



I found a pretty cool begginer sponge trick but i need a better TT. Mine doesnt flex it is hard rubber and i need a slit on it for this trick. Its kind of like a routine combined it to a trick. This will be the basic patter:


Effect: Magician asks a female spectator: “Have you ever seen a clown?” As she
answers, the magician removes a red sponge ball from his pocket. “You have
probably noticed clowns always wear these silly little noses on their faces. What
you may not realize is if you pull on one just right...it splits in two.” The magician
pulls at the one ball with both hands and produces a second one at his fingertips.
“Now, clown noses are very lonely beings, when you place them into a dark
place, like your hand,” the magician sets one ball down and puts the other into
his left hand “they get scared, and run away.” The magician shows both hands
completely empty. “And they run over here and hide in my pocket.” Magician
reaches into his right pocket and removes the sponge ball. “Would you hold this
one for me? Hold it tight and don’t let go.“ The magician puts the ball into the
spectator’s hand, then picks up the tabled one and puts it into his left hand. “I’ll
take this one. Did you see it jump? Because mine is gone.” Magician shows his
left hand empty. “Open your hand! “Spectator does and now has both balls in her
hand. “How did you do that? You’re great!”

Spnge balls are brilliant fun, I always love performing them.

Have a look in Mark Wilson's book, he's got a really nice routine which is along similar lines to yours

Alakazam is your friend here, JSB i shall say no more.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

I too am baffled as to why this routine needs a TT at all

No need for a TT at all as far as I can tell.

Have a look at Mark Wilson's routine, that's what my sponge ball routine is based on.

Ok that book is shipping hopefully it will get here soon. I think my favorite magic is sponge balls, coins, and cards but hopefully his book will help me find what i like the best.
