Without MirrorsChristopher CharlesMagicians and emcees know that comedy plays an important role in warming up today's audiences. No matter how great your tricks may be, if the spectators aren't laughing, they're not being entertained. Whether for TV, stage, casino floor show (night club), or lodge shows, Without Mirrors contains an excellent assortment of material to choose from to make you the center of attention. Memorize two or three of the one-liners and you'll also be prepared to deliver an apparently ad-lib, off the cuff remark, just as the late-night TV hosts do.

Who's Got the Snow?Graham HeyA comedy 'just chance' routine with a modern twist. The performer has five envelopes numbered 1-to-5. One of the envelopes contains cocaine donated free for PR purposes by a leading Columbian drug cartel. (They're not all bad, after all!) Go with it - this is a comedy routine.

The remaining envelope belongs to the performer - inside is the expensive white powder. This is a comedy routine with a brilliant visual ending that goes down a storm.

Which Hand GagGerard ZittaJust a gag! But with all those which hand tricks, it's a change. It can be an opener or a closer to a more serious which hand routine, or in case somebody asks you to redo a which hand trick, or if somebody is giving you a hard time with methods that are not 100% safe. Effect: You ask a spectator to put a small ball in any hand while your back is turned, and then, to put their hands on each side of your head, behind your back. You will guess in which hand they hold the ball.

Watch Winder: noise makerChris WasshuberThis little tool produces a clicking or ratcheting noise and is typically used for comedy bits to wind up a watch or crack somebodies arm or neck and other bits. The starting design came from Randi Middleton who gave me permission to use it anyway I like. I have made several changes to the design, rounded some corners and edges so that it feels better in the hand. Since I am using a stronger material I also could thin up the walls to make it slimmer and I optimized the tongue shape to maximize the noise. I also improved 3D printability. The biggest change is in my use of materials. The housing... | ★★★★★ $12.50 to wish list | |
