Effect

CAPSTONE'S "Torn & Restored Pirate Treasure Map" is a new twist on a time tested classic effect!

Why use a boring sheet of newspaper when you can display an antique parchment treasure map and present an entertaining story about pirates and buried treasure? Here’s an outline of the routine: The magician introduces an old piece of parchment which is folded into the shape a small pirate hat. As he unfolds the piece of parchment, the audience realizes it is a treasure map. A volunteer from the audience joins the magician. He is given the job of Captain of the Pirate Ship and will lead the audience in the official pirate cheer: “ARRRRRRRGH!”

As the magician tears the map he tells a hilarious tale about a band of 9 crazy pirates and how they tore their treasure map into 9 pieces so that no one would find their buried treasure. Of course the magician uses magic to restore the torn pieces in an instantaneous and visual flash restoration! Along the way there’s loads of comedy and participation by both the volunteer and the rest of the audience. You receive 10 pages of instructions by Chris Capstone. Included are all the patter lines, jokes, and bits of business, plus 25 lucid illustrations by the renowned Tony Dunn. And here’s the best part: You’ll have a practical, real world, routine created by a full-time working pro. That fact alone is reason enough to add this to your show. Another important benefit is that all of the maps are already prepared and ready to perform! Have you ever spent an afternoon making up torn and restored newspaper sets for your shows? No more!
