Product Description
Invite Houdini to personally perform some baffling magic for your audience. A banknote or any piece of paper, vanishes from the spectator's hand and appears inside a bust of Harry Houdini that was held by a second spectator. The answer was in Houdini's mind all the time!
This is a great close up effect that also plays well to any size of audience. The bust is an original collector's item that looks great on your desk or shelf. And here's a bonus. The hanky is a very useful utility prop that can vanish any number of small objects, from coins to ladies watches. An invaluable tool that a performer can use in dozens of different routines.
Ask Houdini is recommended for any performer and church and youth worker looking for a polished and professional effect with an orginal twist. Another clever magic effect from the Italian masters of magic, DiFatta.
THE EFFECT
A banknote is borrowed, signed and covered with a hanky. The spectator holds their banknote through hanky. The small bust of Harry Houdini is given to a second spectator. Everything so far is fair and square, except when the perform whisks the hanky away, the note has disappeared. One moment it's held by the spectator, the next it's vanished.
The second spectator is asked to unscrew Houdini's head! 'He's clearly lost his head!' Inside is the signed banknote! It seems even now Houdini can perform the most amazing effects.
PERFORMANCE IDEAS
Use the bust by itself to reveal the prediction for your favourite card or mentalism trick. A number, a word, the name of a playing card, a Bible verse, even a drawing. When it comes to the reveal, turn and say 'Let’s ask Houdini!’
GOSPEL IDEAS
Revealing the predicted word or Bible verse from inside Houdini is a powerful illustration on any message concerning the heart. All that we value and hold onto in life can be so easily snatched away, (just like the vanishing banknote), it’s what’s inside our heart that is truly important. “I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives.” Jer 17:10
For a more challenging message, the effect can be used to illustrate this verse. “The things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.” Matt 15:18
