Product Description
Whatever you do, Don't Hit the Duck! Comedy Magic that totally quackers. Our smashing version of the three cup monte.
Under one of the three cups is a duck. Which one? The routine starts as a classic three-cup monte routine and has a smashing ending, literally, as a mallet crushes two of the cups leaving one cup with, let's hope, our rubber ducky underneath
Don't Hit the Duck! can be presented in any number of ways. In the most popular routine the performer hides a duck under one of the cups, mixes them around and invites a spectator to guess where the duck is. The second time round, the cups are REALLY mixed up. 'Let's see if you can fool me,' says the performer the third time. Now it's the spectator who hides the duck while the performer looks away. Can the performer find the duck? 'I'll need my magic wand.' Out comes the mallet, and SMASH SMASH! Two cups are flattened, and the third lifted to reveal the duck, safe and sound. 'It won't be duck pancakes for dinner!'
There are many different ways to present this effect. Play it for fun. Present it as a serious piece of mentalism. Swap the duck out for a watch, Christmas bauble, ping pong ball, tomato or any other small object to create a unique themed routine. Add extra cups for a Smash, Smash, Smash, Smashing ending!
Self-working method. Instant reset. Don't Hit the Duck can be put straight into a performer's show. Church workers can use the effect to illustrate that life is full of choices, and we don't always know the consequences. Life can get messy, and ducks can get flattened!
We guarantee that with Don't Hit the Duck! you and your audience will have a smashing time.
Comes complete with a rubber duck, mallet, enough cups for 6 performances and our exclusive booklet filled with ideas and routines.
