The original Bathing Beauty effect was a great one, with a large Banner, and those lucky enough to own one know how well it goes with any audience. This is a pocket version of the same effect, (plus an extra kick at the finish), that is ready to use any time, any place.
Performer displays a paddle with the picture of a dressed lady on the beach. Picture is seen to be the same on both sides, as performer comments the lady is rather overdressed for the occassion. He passes his hand over the lady, and she is now more appropriately dressed in a one piece swim suit. Again he shows the picture is the same on both sides. However, the performer is obviously carried away by his magical powers, and being something less than the perfect gentleman, carries his experiment a step further. He passes his hand over the picture once again, obviously to make the swim suit vanish. It does, but the tide comes in to rescue the modesty of the damsel in distress ! This time he forgets to show the other side, as he casually hands the paddle to a spectator for a "closer look". When the spectator turns the paddle over, he sees just what he should have expected, so why is he so surprised ? Cute, very good value for money, and a great little mystery to carry in your pocket. |
