Flash Birthday banner - Tommy James

The perfect way to begin your birthday party magic show! It is a 20th century production for the 21st century! Includes two 18" silks and a Happy Birthday silk banner 30" long by 8" high.

Use the routine as outlined or make the banner appear using a vanishing cane.

The Magician shows two 18" silks, a red and a blue.

"Boys and girls, the magic words for today will not be the regular magic words like Abracadabra or Hocus Pocus, not even Alakazam! I am going to spell out the magic words using these two handkerchiefs."

"A YELLOW one [the magician holds up the blue] and a GREEN one! [hold up the red]"

The kids will quickly tell you that you got the colors wrong! "Oh I'm sorry, a GREEN one [hold up the blue] and a YELLOW one! [Hold up the red]" The kids will let you know they are red and blue. "Oh I'm terribly sorry. A BLUE one [hold up the red]and a RED one! [hold up the blue]"

The kids will be SCREAMING that you are wrong again!

Finally hold up the red one and say, "THIS one is red?" [Kids will shout YES!] Hold up the blue one and say, "What color is THIS one?" (Kids will shout blue, but you pretend they just booed you.)

"Hey! That was rude! Oh! BLUE!!! Yes of course! I thought you booed me! Now I will tie these two handkerchiefs into a knot."

Finish tying the two silks together then put the ends into your coat pocket, a glass or if you're like Tommy James . . . your mouth! Then quickly pull the silks apart and a colorful banner 30" long by 8" high appears between the two silks that says: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

"The magic words for the show are Happy Birthday [insert child's name] !"

Use the magic words throughout the show and score some brownie points with the Mom and Dad and hopefully a nice tip!
