Six stand-up effects from Martin Lewis. This is strong, audience-tested material from his parlor act. Martin shows you, in a step-by-step, hands-on guide, how to make the props on your kitchen table quickly and easily, with only basic tools and materials, needing no special skills. Then, in live performance, see how the apparatus is used to really make magic.
Includes artwork in 3 PDFs.
Instant Coffee: A few coffee beans tossed into a paper cup turn into real hot coffee.
Nigel: This is Martin's revival of that lovely old chestnut the Soup Plate and Handkerchief. For Martin, it is a story about a boy and his dog.
Coupons: This is a torn and restored effect using a single newspaper page. The beauty of Martin's method is that you end clean and can immediately hand out the restored paper.
Bank Job: The audience helps solve a crime in this highly customizable mystery with a surprise finish.
Coat, Ropes and Rings: Martin has featured this stage-size version of Grandmother's Necklace for over forty years. Here he tips it all.
The Test: A polka dot handkerchief and a red gift box, when placed into a paper bag, mysteriously transpose. The audience suspects a switch, so it comes as a surprise when you crumple the bag and toss it out.
