This trick was on the market about 10 years ago. If you have one and no directions, here are the original directions. If you would like to make this up, you can make it from a metal slinky you can buy in most toy stores. Very easy to make, and complete directions on how to gimmick a Slinky are included.
Just when you thought every possible penetration effect had been invented, comes this new novel idea. Magician patters that when he was a small child he couldn't afford to buy magic props, hence he did magic with his toys. He brings out a regular Slinky toy and shows it to be the toy we all grew up with. The Slinky is stretched out and the ends given to two people to hold. Magician stands in front of the slinky and grabs it. Suddenly, he pulls the stretched out Slinky right through his body.
That's right the rope through body effect done with a SLINKY! However, no funny looping or ties. Just the stretched out Slinky that you pull through your body. Spectators never let go of the ends yet somehow you walk thru it.
Here are the important facts.
- Doesn't have to be an opener. Pick up and do anytime in your show.
- No jacket needed, wear anything you want. Even do it outdoors with no shirt on.
- Self-contained. No extra parts. Nothing hidden on your body.
