Product Description
'Great. Love it. Good for adults and kids. The pads are ready to go and enough for 30 performances.' Terry.
'Creates a very funny situation. This routine is still being used in my live stage show to great effect. It's a lovely bit of business.' Alan Wong
If you want to perform an easy, funny and baffling magic trick, Alan Wong's Tear No Tear A4 Pad is the perfect choice.
This effect allows you to rob an adult of their ability to tear up a sheet of paper, while a child happily tears theirs into pieces! The more the grown-up struggles, the funnier it gets, as they strain every muscle without even making a crease in the sheet!
The secret to this trick is that the first sheet in the pad is regular paper, while the next is indestructible Tyvek. Although they look identical, one is impossible to tear.
The pad comes with a scripted routine for TV magician Wayne Dobson's famous 'Do as I Do' routine. This charming and very funny presentation involves your young volunteer 'magically' restoring their sheet of paper, leaving you with a handful of torn pieces. This makes you the zero and the child the hero!
A favourite effect with kids magicians who use it in a game called 'Tear It Up.' Any child who can tear a sheet of paper in half wins the prize; everyone except the 'super strong' birthday child fails!
It's an endlessly versatile trick for church workers, as you can draw or write ANYTHING that matches your message on the paper. For example, illustrate how 'Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.' (Matt. 24:35) by drawing the world on one sheet and the Bible on the other. Or, for a 'ripping' story about how 'the weak things of the world to shame the strong' (1 Cor 1:27) you can draw David on one sheet and Goliath on the other. The same can be done with the words LOVE and HATE, where love proves to be indestructible. You'll soon be bubbling over with ideas of how to use this in your ministry.
For close-up and street magic, cut the sheets into smaller playing cards or credit card sizes.
Wayne Dobson's professional scripted routine and our ideas for gospel messages means you're off to a flying start. And with enough sheets for up to 30 performances, you really can't go 'wong'.
Comes complete with: One 60 page pad, (8.5x11 inches) with 30 pairs of tear/no tear paper. Written instructions with Wayne Dobson's pro routine and exclusive biblical presentations.
