Pom Pom Stick – 12″

Description

This is one of those effects of magic that has no “theme” and makes no sense! Yet it has been the favorite of many of the great performers, a hit with audiences over the years, and a feature effect with comedy magicians like Ali Bongo.

In effect, the performer shows a “bamboo” rod, with a pair of pom poms on strings at both ends. One pair of pom poms are on a long string and one pair on a very short string. Actual colors of pom poms may vary in various sets, but we will presume your set has a red and blue pom pom on a short string at one end and a yellow and green pom pom on a long string at the opposite end of the rod. The rod is held horizontally. If you pull up the green pom pom the yellow pom pom goes up, and if you release it the yellow pom pom goes down, “proving” they are attached to the two ends of the long string. Then you pull up the red pom pom on the opposite side, and the yellow pom pom goes up and the red and blue pom poms are now on a long string and the yellow and green ones on a short string. Pull up the red pom pom and the blue goes up, release it and the blue goes down obviously as you would expect. But then you pull down the yellow pom pom and the blue goes up. This is continued over and over again, it seems every pom pom is attached to each other in a magical way.

The apparatus supplied consists of an approximately 12 inch imitation bamboo stick with the large pom poms attached. A prop highly visible even for stage use.

Note: This version of the Pom Pom Stick uses a solid stick that does not break apart at the center.
