The Assistant TestDevin KnightA comedy warmup that always gets laughter from an audience as the magician explains a test he uses to hire assistants. Technically, this is not a magic trick. It is something that magicians and entertainers of all types can use. It never fails to amaze, amuse, entertain and create laughter. It will often generate smiles from the most stone-faced spectators. I know this from experience, as I have used this bit of comedy in my shows for over twenty years. The magician tells a short story about a simple aptitude test that he always gives potential employees that want to work in his show,... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |

How To Do The Electric ChairsDevin KnightThis is probably one of the most ancient of all comedy effects, yet strong enough and entertaining enough to be part of the performance of many leading entertainers. The late mentalist Maurice Fogel made a big hit with this in his show. The basic effect is that five to six spectators are invited to the front and sit in chairs. In a few moments, they jump up and scream, saying that their chair shocked them. The chairs are examined and found to be ordinary; the moment they sit down, they jump up again, saying they were shocked again. This is repeated as often as the performer wishes. The performer... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
Sock It To 'EmGraham ReedA comedy and original "Just Chance" routine for children and adults with several presentation ideas. Very easy to do and to prepare.

Clear instructions explain how to prepare it in just a few minutes. All the items you need are easily found. In performance, a neat plastic rod is shown. Attached to this are three colored clothes pegs and three colorful socks. The magician explains that it is his own way to make a gift... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
The Dirty DealerJules Lenier & B. W. McCarronAn entertaining close-up effect where you attempt to teach the spectator how to "dirty deal", but always goes wrong when the spectator tries.

If the effect also combines comedy and mystery, then you have a triple threat combination that's sure to be remembered. The performer explains how he sent away for a mail order course in dealing cards. He offers to teach a spectator how to do it, offering a money-back guarantee. The spectator can't seem to follow directions, even though the performer... | $6 to wish list | |

Or add it as a feature to your regular act. Don't confuse this with the old "two person" comedy mindreading act. This hilarious routine can be performed by you, alone, without assistants, stage hands or stooges. Using a crystal ball, a jumbo electric light bulb, or even a swirly-painted bowling ball, you cause a laugh riot by apparently answering questions which have been merely "thought of" by your audience. There's no mystery to it. All you need is this clever... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
