And of course, card tricks using Bicycle's Eco Deck.

I have Barry mitchells garbage buster f/s here in uk.

There is also a "chop" garbage can with gaffed flies that uses small plastic bags full of trash as the final load. (I think I got mine form Hank Lee)

Please watch the Penn and Teller BS episode about recycling first so that you're imparting balanced information in your educational show ...

Dan Rodney developed a great show for McDonalds about 10 years ago. He can be contacted through the SAM administrator.

I think it might be fun to work some of the everyday item tricks in with a reuse/recycle twist. "Did you know that the rubber band and paper clip you just threw away could be magic?" Maybe a shell trick with bottle caps. It could also end up providing for a cheap giveaway if you show kids a trick with a really common item and then let them keep it.

Does this hope of show still go over well? How many of you are doing this type of show?

I am thinking of picking up the recycle show word waver silks Barry Mitchell has

Yes more schools are coming on-board with these shows (even in the UK through sponsorship schemes. Also quite a few energy companies are reforming their education teams after a twelve year gap.)

It's also worth looking at this puppet http://www.onewaystreet.com/product/racc......_puppets

I'm currently trying out ideas for the word wavers

Nice tip on the raccoon.

Yes, that is why you use recycled paper and I have a small phrase on mine that says it is recycled and I also say - please be kind to the earth - color me and hang me up. Do you want to guess what happens? Parents call me from those coloring sheets.

I just put out a prop JUST for this type of show...
you can order it right from me.. or you can get them from Hocus-pocus magic.. it's exclusive from them and me!
