Ok, FINALLY got a clip of me using my new Measle Teasel Comedy wand in front of a pre school. Due to the lighting and quality of camera, it is hard to see the spots appearing and vanishing on the video, but in person and as you will be able to tell from the children's responses, live . . . it is as clear as day. I will get a new video with a closer shot tomorrow at the same pre school so the changes will be able to be seen on video. I think my backdrop kind of drowns out the lighting also.

Enjoy and feedback welcome.

Fantastic reactions from the kids and a great 2 1/2 minute routine!! I've used my Measle Teasel wand numerous times and the kids love it.

Great video Tommy!

What a great routine and performance. I bet it sells a bunch of wands.

Good luck it,

I loved it Smile
wish there was a kicker ending to it. spots change to different colours or the wand disappears something to make it finish on a high?
Best Job in the world

Thanks Jeremy and Mr. Shiney, glad you liked it!

I actually did discuss with a magician friend of mine, some kind of ending. We discussed a different color change at the end but came to the conclusion that sometimes simplicity is the best answer.

Kandu has a great idea: to add a noise maker to the inside of the wand so when you blow to make the spots vanish, there is a loud noise with it. I Love the idea but I do not have a noise maker to test it with but will be looking into that in the near future as I really feel it would add some novelty to the wand. Any opinions?

As for the Christmas sale . . . Come on guys these just came out . . I can't have a sale yet! LOL I JUST came back from a show and a little kid ran up and tried to grab the wand tonight as I was not SEEING the spots, he was trying to "Show me" the spots. (It was really cute.)

Do you mind if I use your "red e" bit at the beginning? Smile

The wand is great. I'll definitely pick one up in the future.

It arrived this morning, and I LOVE it - how's that for Practical Magic service!

II was going to ask about the Red E bit - thanks again, Tommy. Yes, it is funny.

Have a good Christmas, all.
