I recently came across a paddle trick (how it became part of my magic "junk drawer", I have no idea) and it has been intriguing me for several weeks. The paddle is blank on one side and on the other has a yellow spot at the top,a red spot in the middle, and a green spot at the bottom. Also included with the effect are three sleeves. One has a red spot on it,one has a yellow spot, and one has three spots to match the three colors on the paddle.
I used to own a paddle effect called the Meteor Paddle with a similar theme but the dots were all one color...driving myself a bit insane trying to figure out the routining of what looks like a fun little paddle trick...anyone familiar with it???

Look at http://www.porperoriginals.com and click on "paddles" you might see it.

Thanks Pete...I took a peek at the pwebsite and did not find the type of paddle I'm refering to. I'll keep searching. I'm bound to find info somewhere.

It's called Traffic Lite. I believe Rick Herald and Bob Kohler manufactured it over 30 years ago.

The effect is that the colored spots jump one at a time from the collars to the blank paddle. Then, all three colored dots jump off the paddle and assemble onto one collar.

This is Ian Adair's Paddle Waggle. It was marketed but also appears in his book which I believe was named Paddle-Antics.

The Meteor Paddle was a knock off off Paddle Waggle. I know this because I showed Paddle Waggle to Brian shortly before he came out with the Meteor Paddle.

So, it appears that Paddle Waggle and Traffic Lite produce the same effect. I wonder which came first?

Al Cohen was demonstrating "Paddle Waggle" in the 1980's!

Traffic Lite by Connie (Conrad) shows a 1960 copyright...
