You have never done it before but with the help of an assisting adult you will try it. "I have never done this. I just bought it and I don't really know how to do it but I have the instructions here, so if I can get an adult to come up and read the instructions I will do the trick." I always get a parent or, if at a school, a teacher or the principal; or cub master if working for scouting group, etc. The spectator reads the First Step (the book is in steps, one per page). A boy is brought up and a cup placed on his head, then an egg is broken into a mug and poured into the cup on the boy's head. The cup is covered with a plate and according to the instruction is turned UP SIDE DOWN and placed back on boy's head. Now you see the comedy as it develops. The instructions then tell you to remove the plate from underneath the cup. The finale is very funny. This is different that the Don Allen routine where the instruction card is used to cover the container on the head. This never made much sense. Here the instructions TELL YOU what to do. You act skeptical, but after all, this is MAGIC, so they must know what they're doing- and so you do it. This is a very funny, funny routine. Comes with cup, Instruction booklet and gimmick.

You then insert a corner of a silk hanky into the cup and out through the bottom so that cup is centered on the hanky. You push six sharpened pencils right through the side of the cup and apparently through the hanky. You tug on the hanky but it does not move because it is impaled by the pencils.

But they must watch you very carefully because you will try to fool them. You show a silk hanky and push it into the hand making a 'funny looking' move indicating that you did not put it in the hand but placed it in your pocket. "NO, NO" you say, "It is here in the hand." You show the hanky in the hand. "Watch again." You repeat the moves - but now show that the hanky has changed into an EGG. You then tell them how it is done. You show that the egg is really a plastic egg with a hole on the side and the hanky is inside. You then show the audience how to do the trick, and AT THE END you tell them, "Very easy to do BUT you must practice it. I would say practice it every day, twice a day and after about - thirty (depending on your age) years you should be able to do this." With that you bring out a glass and crack the egg into it. This is not the old method where you take out a coin or some other stupid object to wave over the hand. THIS ROUTINE IS CLEAN IN HANDLING AND EXECUTION. THE BEST YOU WILL FIND. This is so strong that I use it in most of my adult show as a closer.- - - - $15.00  SIMPLEX DOVE HARNESS - See Dove Harness above. #213 SILK PRODUCTION TUBE - (Simplex) You show a rolled up stiff tube and open it out to show the inside completely empty.

At the end you break the balloon and show the two needles crisscrossed inside the tube. GREAT FOR CLOWNS OR BALLOON ARTISTS. - - - $20.00 #308 WHAT A POKER DEAL You play three hands of Poker with a spectator and never lose. NEW CLEAN METHOD. NO SLEIGHT OF HAND. Ten JUMBO CARDS are shown and shuffled by a spectator. You then deal out two Poker hands to a spectator and yourself. YOUR HAND WINS. Have the cards shuffled again but this time instead of dealing out the cards you have the spectator tell you whether or not he wants a particular card as you go through them. Give him the cards he wants and you take what you want. STILL HE LOSES. Spectator shuffles the cards again for one more hand. This time you deal out two hole cards, one to the spectator and one to yourself. The cards are now held with faces showing and the spectator can choose if he wants the card showing. BUT he also controls the cards you get because the ones he rejects become your cards. HE STILL LOSES. Great routine with a Himber wallet where, at the beginning, you show three bills in the wallet and wager them in the three Poker hands, each time showing the bills. At the end you you say, "Don't feel bad sir, look, we weren't playing for anything anyway." YOU SHOW THE WALLET EMPTY. One of the features in my adult shows.
