Recurring Fly

Recurring Fly

Product ID: 2438

An enjoyable effect for children or adults based on George Blake’s Recurring Card which in turn is based on the theme of the ‘Ambitious Card’ or the ‘Persistent Joker’, this version is with an important difference!

The Recurring Fly supplies essential interest from beginning to end and concludes with a comedy situation that makes it ideal for compere, platform, close-up and walkabout work. Children love it!

You start by introducing “Five delicious cakes!” You count five cake picture cards from hand to hand. So that the audience is certain, you count them from hand to hand once again counting four cake cards but the fifth card turns out to be a stranger – a black FLY, “Goodness he is after my cakes!”

The intruder is placed aside and the four remaining cake cards are plainly counted from hand to hand, but when you count them again it is seen that you hold three cake cards and a stranger – that fly is back again!

This novel effect is now repeated again & again; three cakes become two and one FLY – two cakes become one and that darned fly, until you hold just one single card – this must be a CAKE but no! it turns out to be that recurring fly once more.

Your audiences will have a load of fun when you comically try to kill each fly with a swatter, rolled newspaper or fly spray can (not supplied); the children especially will love this kind of clowning nonsense!

At the finish you end up with a fan of comical looking FLIES and have to explain that you, “Got it all wrong – it should have been a trick with five FLIES – so when I have practiced it I will show it to you the next time!”

In an alternative finish after you have dispensed with all the flies, one further fly ends up on your back!

This is a fabulous finish to a classic effect in magic that you will soon be featuring in all your performances. Resets in a moment, requires just a little handling practice but you should learn it within thirty minutes or so of opening the packet.

Comes complete with all the necessary A6 size (100 x 140mm) laminated cake and fly cards, full George Blake routine plus detailed instructions.
