I don't think I've ever laughed so much when watching a magic trick. The presentation behind this trick is just incredible.

This is perfect for any stage show or kids party. It will have your audience in stitches and kids will just go bananas (pun intended)!

I use this in all my kids shows and It never gets old. Plus you recieve a staple part of the magicians tool kit - the devils handkerchief!

Perfect for the working magician or clown!

I use this in every show where I want to get a laugh and it never fails. Audiences of all ages really enjoy this one. It is important to do your part in the routine as the presentation is extremely important. If your show includes a sense of humor, then you will be very pleased with this addition.

I don't actually own the trick but I did see it in a magic show. I thought it was hilarious. I love magic with humor.

Why re-invent the wheel? David Cooperfiled, along with many accomplished magicians have used this entertaining illusion with great response. This is a super duper product to use for young and older than young alike. THIS CAN BE EFFECTIVELY PERFORMED CLOSE-UP OR ON A PLATFORM.

For anyone that does not have this effect you are missing one of the easiest and best effects ever. I have used this for adults, children and church events. I have never received anything but praise for the effect. The clean-up is very easy and you just have fun doing it.

This trick is a little pricey for what it does. It is your basic “Devil’s Napkin” disappearance trick with an extra prop to add some humor into your show. I’m always looking to get a laugh or two, so I decided to give this trick a go. The effect is described very well in the description at http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=455. When performed, it IS funny, IF you act your part. If you don’t act surprised when you pull out the banana, then the audience will just sit there and wonder what this trick is all about. I’ve done this in front of an audience now and I stop the tape, look around in the box and on the floor and ask the audience if I should continue…They seem to love having a say in the show. From there, the more disgusted I am at smashing the banana up, the more they enjoy it. And “Hamming it up” is great. Why the instructions say “FLING OPEN THE FOLDED FABRIC,” the people cringe because they KNOW they are going to get banana goo all over them. It’s a great trick. I’d recommend it. There are some downsides to it. It IS stage magic. No close up stuff should be done with the devil’s napkin. (Well I don’t feel comfortable doing it close up.) The tape, is only one sided. It would be nice if the routine were recorded on the other side as well. (I know – rewind.) I have a variant with this trick where I do not use the cassette tape. I have the instructions, that were on the tape, printed out on fancy ACME letterhead paper. I then have someone read the instructions a step at a time. Sometimes I read while my assistant does the trick.. Sometime my assistant reads while I do the trick. Sometimes an audience member reads while I do the trick. I think the trick is a little overpriced. You can find a devil’s napkin for around fifteen dollars (Elsewhere on the net). The extra 15 dollars to make up the price for this trick would be for the tape and a cardboard box. Overall, the trick is a blast. Don’t do it at the start of the show though, because your hands will be very goopy. I’d give this trick 4 of 5 stars. (minus on for the price.)

Great trick, highly recomended. Plays well with kids, plays better with adults (if you do it right!)
