I found some cheap worms, but the only problem is that it says "String" on the package.

It says "Pull hidden string - watch it slither" curved around the top of the clear bubble that contains the worm.

Does anyone think this will be a problem with selling them? I am thinking of making the comparison of a dog on a leash to the worm to try and cover for the package.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Why would you want to sell a magic trick that has the secret printed on the OUTSIDE of the package?

Price. I will already have an order in with the company for magic tricks, I figured I would get them there since they only cost about 60 cents a piece.

They look to be the same ones as the Squirmles (google eyes).

I found another cheap source, but it is only one color, pink. Any thoughts on only one color?

Wrong Answer!! You're supposed to be a pitchman, not the Masked Magician. SETH

My thinking is that the packages are not rack mounted or on display so you're not giving anything away. They don't get the package until you have the money and then they get the instructions anyway. Maybe have them prestuffed into the plastic or paper bags ready to go.

The disadvantage is the packaging being seen on the ground or in the garbage (although digging through trash for magic secrets might be a waste). You don't want people coming up and asking if this is the worm on the string.

This is probably the same company that sold a cheap dancing cane in toy stores for about $5 as a toy showing how you swing it back and forth on the cover.

Makes you wonder!
