Treasure Trip Eye Ball Idea


Something neat always happens when I work conventions.  I will be talking with someone about the way they use my products and they share their really creative idea.  All I can think is, “Wow I want to try that and can I share it with others.”  Most are happy to share.  A very nice lady at Kapital Kidvention in Washington DC area shared this creative way she uses the Conradi tube with my Treasure Trip Silks.

Watch the routine here so you’ll understand what I’m talking about as I share the simple improvement.

As I look into the audience, as if using a spy glass I am showing the end of the tube.  A quick eyed audience might see the split mirror from the end of the tube.  I admit this is VERY unlikely, however, I always move the tube quickly just to cover.  My friend said they she decorated the end cap of the tube to look like an eye ball.  This allows for a slow movement as well as a funny look to the audience and not showing the gimmick inside.  Simply brilliant.  I can’t wait to perform it again with this improvement.  I made a page of eyeball art that can be printed out on adhesive paper.  You’ll only need one eyeball for your Conradi tube but it was easier to make multiple eyes on the page.  I’ll also be packing all my future orders with the stickers.  Email me directly if you would like the pdf of the eyeball art.  barrymitchell@aol.com
