All over the world...
Hello friends,
We don't mind tooting our own horn once in a blue moon.
Back in late 1999, Ronjo showed me an unusual device. It was telescopic rod (closed about the size of a pen) with a hinged, pivoting mirror on it. He was trying to create a new type of card revelation with it. He had the perfect prop and a killer concept, but the idea was incomplete and it needed quite a bit of rethinking.
After playing around with it for a while, I came up with some funny things to do with it.
We put our heads together and a new trick was born. PEEK A BOO!
Peek-A-Boo by Ronjo
Have them rolling in the aisles! A spectator selects a card and is asked to stare at it while you attempt to "read their mind". In the meantime, you take out your Y2K magic wand (actually a telescoping silver wand with a mirror on it). Tell them to concentrate while you try to get good reception. You extend the wand, turning it into an "antenna". Now you place it behind their head and draw them in close for a better transmission. For the first time everyone but your spectator can see the attached mirror.
Over the next few years, we quietly sold them here and there in our showroom and a handful by mail order. It is not the prime in store "demo" item because the routine plays best for a larger group and it is a time consuming effect. Getting a group together for a five minute demo between phone calls, deliveries and other customers all for an $8.00 trick, just doesn't happen too often.
Anyway, those who have purchased this effect get a lot of mileage out of it. I used this at a High School Prom I was working at and this effect was well received by the entire student body. And I loved doing it!
This little prop really does get a lot of mileage if you are into comedy.
Anyway 6 months ago, one of our distributors picked up our little gem of an item. It has since become a staple in the magic industry and can now be found in almost every magic shop and magic website on the net.
Would you believe I found one online dealer in Australia selling our product for $35.00 in Australian funds? That's about $27.00 in US$! More than 3 times our price. Wow.
yesterday I found 3 blogs from magicians about Pee A Boo. Two were from Japan and the other one from Australia.
For $8.00, you have a full 5 minute (or less) sucker routine that uses audience participation. It plays well to any size audience, from 2 people to a full theater. It can even be done one on one but you will loose some of the comedy and the sucker effect will not be the same. Its great for restaurant magic, kid's shows or adults. And it fits in your pocket. What could be better?
So if you didn't get your yet. What are you waiting for? The entire hysterical script even comes with it.
Thanks for reading!

You try to get a clear view of the card. Everyone is laughing hysterically except for your spectator. Your spectator will be curious as to why they are laughing. Your volunteer will try to turn around and see what you are doing but you will always be one step ahead of them. After the laughter subsides, you show that the back of the mirror has a label printed with the chosen card! This is a very funny bit that is a sure fire hit!
Peekaboo Includes 10 assorted card stickers with a hysterical routine.
