Sand

Postby Ian The Magic-Ian » Oct 16th, '08, 03:11



Does anyone know any trick involving sand? I just picked up 60lbs of sand that I can't do anything with so is there any thing to do with sand that anyone knows?

Anything is appreciated!

Thanks!

Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Some TT vanishes and productions? Gary Darwin's Encyc of TT has some material using salt. Sure there could be some good comedy in the initial production.

a) Sand Frame - where a card or picture is revealed?

b) http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic4594.php (Dale will remember that one!)

c) Add 20lbs of cement, some water, and build a really solid foundation for your act? No? Thought not, sorry.... :oops:

Not a lot you can do with 60lbs of sand, other than make a sand pit for the kids, add to garden soil which is full of clay, soak up spilled oil on the garage floor and so on... Wilson Kepple & Betty (Google for the details) come to mind...

Bob Cassidy's effect 'A Rat in the Desert'.

The old 'dry sand from bowl of water' trick (there are at least two methods, but I don't have a reference for you).
