Hey folks,
We are VERY excited to release our newest and most VISUAL effect! The ROAG TOAD! This has been in the workings for many years and with the help of Arthur Atsma and his son Clarence, we think we have a WINNER! Just wait until you see the kid's faces when they see finale of the trick! Description as follows: The ROAG TOAD Created by Chance Wolf With Concept input from Clarence Atsma and Arthur Atsma Routine by Arthur Atsma Basic effect: The magician begins by introducing Roagie the Roag Toad. After a bit of discussion of what frogs like to eat? The kids scream out various foods, insects etc as the Magi fans out eight 4” x 6” JUMBO CARDS showing various CARTOON BUGS that match the kid’s guesses. Jokes are thrown in as each card is shown, as some cards are ridiculous Cartoon Foods that a Toad would never eat. The Magi then explains that Roagie would like to perform his first magic trick for the kids today! Dressing up the Toad for the part, the Magi places a large Top Hat onto Roagie and the fun begins! It is said that the Psychic Toad will LEAP into the child’s MIND and tell him what his favorite food is! The Toad’s EYES MOVE BACK and FORTH in approval. A child is asked to select a card and the card is lost in the deck. The deck is placed into the Top Hat and Roagie begins his Magic as his EYES MOVE SLOWLY then SHAKE RAPIDLY SIDE-TO-SIDE as a CARD SLOWLY RISES FROM HIS TOP HAT!! The Magi shows the card and cues the audience for applause but…no applause is heard. The Psychic Toad has FAILED. His eyes slowly look away in humiliation. Roagie is told that he has another chance as his EYES SHAKE RAPIDLY SIDE-TO-SIDE in JOY!!!…Yet only to FAIL at locating the card yet two more times. The Magi looks at Roagie in disgust wondering why it went so well in practice. The Toad apparently whispers something into the Magi’s ear. The Magi leans into Roagie…“What you say? YOU ATE IT? NO!!! Did I not FEED YOU before the show?! His eyes slowly move away. “Come on Roagie, spit it out!” His eyes SHAKE RAPIDLY SIDE-TO-SIDE! Let me help you, I know the HEIMELICH maneuver. The Magi slaps the Toad on the back. “Come on Roagie! Out with it. Spit it out!” On the third slap, the TOAD’S MOUTH FALLS OPEN AS A 30” RED TONGUE ROLLS OUT WITH THE CHOSEN CARD ON IT’S END!!! You receive: The Roag Toad stands 18” Tall w/ Top Hat on and 15” Wide. The Custom Art and Hand Silk Screened done by Chance Wolf on Aluminum/Nylon Core material in brilliant Gloss Enamels. Top Hat with Houlette built to the back with basic card Rise feature. No reset as the cards rise by use of your fingertips or an easily gimmicked Wand. (Not provided) Hat slips onto Toad’s head and locks on with Magnetic catches. Side-to-Side Moving Eyes! Magnetic Lock-Catch Mouth. Nothing to release. Swing Out Footings so prop can be sitting on any flat surface. 16 Custom printed Cartoon Cards (Two of each design) A FANTASTIC routine written by our friend Arthur Atsma! Packs Flat (only 1 ¾” Thick) and Plays HUGE! Resets in less than 45 seconds! Introductory Price $295 plus shipping Replacement Deck of 40 Cards available at $25 plus shipping.

Why do you make these things so big?

Harv,
Because if I made them smaller everyone would ask... "Why do you make these things so small?" Kidding aside, in my experience as a manufacturer and performer, I have always found that most effects of days gone by were simply too small for various venues. I feel that bigger is better when marketing or performing a prop (as long as it is not HUGE) as it will play for school auditoriums or a living room birthday party. I would rather kill 2 birds with one prop rather than offer two sizes. Believe me, if I made these props small, I would hear FAR more complaints that it is too small so I choose to stick with less complaints. I hope this helps and thanks for the question.

Thanks for the answer Chance. It really does look good, but I'm not convinced that big is necessarily better. I do not do school shows...99% of my shows take place in a living room or party room and I don't need something that big. However based on the fact that most of your items sell out I guess I'm in the minority.

Just as a FYI I just got off the phone with Chance and placed my order. "These are going fast so if you want one you better get your order in or be left out".

Anyone got theirs yet?
Are we the only state in the country with a differnt Library theme? Ours is about being a STAR, read! or something like that. So I had to put together something totally different. But our Inscetaruim just opened, and I have an engagement there this week end. But it is walk around. Would love to hear a review of this! ACE

I talked to one I will be doing, and they are in a trailer, as they have not rebuilt yet after the storm( which is sad, the USA has enough $ to fix this, but the $ goes elsewhere). She said the max Capacity in the Library is only 19!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is SAD! I have been doing summer camp schools every day, and most put me in a small room crammed with 50-100 kids. When I get there and see the area, I have to leave a lot in my car. These kids are sitting about 2-3 feet in front of me. Some things(like my Funhouse) only the few directly in front can actually see the transformation. I turn it from side to side, and all my build up is good. And It goes over good. I just think the ones not dirrectly in front cannot see it. I have a front row 2 feet in front of me and 20 to 30 feet long. So I just adjust and make the best. But I'm probably in the minority, like you. all the best... ACE
