Description
I thought this might be a P&L Fire Cracker, but I could not find any hallmark and also it came with the famous RNT red corduroy bag so I am assuming it is from Rings ‘N’ Things Magic Co. – still great quality.
There were two versions of this effect – one with the built in bang feature which was called Mephisto’s Fire Cracker and this one which did not have that feature.
This is still a clever effect that will leave them guessing.
Effect: The fuse of a giant fire cracker is lit, then the cracker is placed in a previously examined nickeled case and a cover put in place. A spectator holds the case while the performer vanishes* a silk hanky. Upon opening the case the silk is found therein and the missing cracker is discovered hanging on the spectator’s back.
* Use your favorite method.
