Fork Candles
Product ID: 2971
Loosely based on a sketch by the Two Ronnies first broadcast in 1976.
You tell your audience about an incident that took place in an ironmonger’s shop in Hayes where a ‘buy three get one free’ offer was on.
A customer walked in and requested, “Four candles” so you show four laminated cards with a picture of a candle on each, you lay three of them face down and the fourth one is slipped ‘free of charge’ into the customer’s top pocket, really your own, where it remains in full view.
The customer then says he didn’t want candles he asked for, “Fork ‘andles!” (Fork handles).
Not to be caught out the canny shopkeeper said, ‘I also saw that sketch by the two Ronnies, and that is what I have given you - fork handles!”
So saying, you turn the pictures faces upwards one at a time and they are indeed all pictures of fork handles!
This is a clever play on the original sketch with apologies to the great Ronnie Corbet and Ronnie Barker!
No difficult sleight of hand, no rough & smooth or sticky stuff is used. All cards can be left for examination at the finish.
This trick is based on wordplay & homophones in the English language and may not be suitable for our foreign customers.
Comes complete with the laminated picture cards (approx 3.25 x 2.5”, 8 x 6.5cms) & instructions.
