About five years ago, Practical Magic marketed a trick called ‘Christmas Lights’ which was hugely popular, but they have often been asked for an all year round version. Well, here it is, thanks to the fertile mind of Steve Dimmer.
You are supplied with: four 18” picture silks, a packet of mini candles and a light-up thumb tip. (You will also need a two or three way Change Bag, which is not supplied.)
Announcing that you are going to bake a cake you show a picture of a mixing bowl. In the routine, which we supply, there is all the fun of the ‘Baking the Cake’ trick. After some funny mishaps, the picture is shown again, and there is a beautiful cake – but there are no candles, and, as this is a birthday cake, we need some candles. You drop in a small packet, stir up everything and remove a picture of a birthday cake with candles – BUT THEY’RE NOT LIT!
Reaching into the air, you catch little red lights at your fingertips, and finally show the cake in all its glory with lighted candles! A fabulous all-year-round routine with some really eye-catching magic!
“This trick is superb! Brilliant! I’m so glad I bought it!” Jack Cohen
