Instant Magician

This is a wonderful audience participation routine. The performer invites an adult or child onstage dresses them in a magicians costume. The spectator stands with his hands behind his back and the magician puts his arms through the costume and performs some magic. It looks as if the spectator is doing the magic. The magician verbally cues the spectator how to react and the illusion is perfect and very funny. This great idea allows you to reclaim some of that old material in your magical junk drawer. This version also has a feature where you begin by showing a small black bag. You put some magical items into the bag (cards, rope, handkerchief, etc.) then you turn the bag inside out and it transforms into the magicians costume with all the items in the pocket ready to use. This used to be a favorite routine of Lance Burton.
