I know someone who once used the birthday gift surprise with a ball python. Also, I think Tommy James' Library Rabbit Production would suit a snake nicely.

See above, my post for July 19!
I just remembered! It was the late, AL ROBBINS. Al lived to be almost 100! This thread has certainly had some "interesting" posts!!!!!

No, Richard...That was "A" Robbins! I never did know what his first name was! I never saw "A" live. He and Senor Wences were the "show within the show" in a vaudeville 'history' movie, in the late '40s. I think it was, "I Remember Mama". Dan Dailey starred.
Years later, I got some "dubbed" VHS tapes of "It's Magic", a black & white TV show of the early '50s. Many of the top magicians from the New York area, were on this half hour "local" production. --A. Robbins, Roy Benson, Al Flosso, Fred Keating, et al. It was somewhat like a 'two act, vaudeville'! The '40s movie had both Robbins, and Wences, doing their acts in a hotel room for the children of "Mama", and Dan Dailey. Robbins didn't have his "train"! It wouldn't "fit" in a hotel room! Wences did his little boy routine (the fist puppet, somewhat like Jay's "Lefty". They were both "#7" (next to closing)acts!!!

I've used button quail - I don't recommend them.

Back in the late 90's, our radio station had a remote at a car dealership. I had just bought an M-Glass and was going to do the white silk to white mouse trick between on-air breaks. It worked perfectly-except...the white mouse jumped off the table. The women screaming and standing on chairs was CLASSIC! I was told to NEVER do a magic trick at a remote. EVER!

Hrmn...I already do productions of rabbit, dove, and am working on fish. Perhaps something other than production would be warranted...maybe as a "danger" aspect to one of my escapes... I'll probably ponder another 8 months...

I was doing a stage show.
I was using button quail for my cups routine because of their size and their very short tail. I had 6, for a second reveal. At home, they were ok, a little nervous. On stage things got bad. When I first put 3 under the cups, they started jumping and the cups would jump around. Then the three I had stashed away started jumping all over . . . and onto the table. I was panicking trying to catch these little birds as they ran out into the crowd. I was completely humiliated with the crowd laughing at me. Later found out that the crowd thought it was on purpose and it was "the funniest thing they'ed seen". |

Really, you just stuff an animal into a strange environment without any pre training. Horrible actions on your part.

Who said I didn't do pre-training? I didn't. I said they were fine at home. Maybe it is a reflection on you? Always nice to see someone jump to negative conclusions. Bill, perhaps you should inquire more before you insult someone - it is terribly rude and immature.

Here's an idea. How about a monkey production. Use a mini fire cage.

I've seen dogs used and I think Penn and Teller used Madagascar hissing cockroaches for a gig on David Letterman (only use the males in case they get loose).
Yes, I am a magician. No I did not make my hare (hair) disappear... it just took early retirement.

My competition here uses a monkey production from a fire cage.

It is good in advertising. Not too many have a monkey.

I just acquired a used, extremely sturdy large drawer box on Ebay. It was this awful bright yellow with multicolored star stickers all over it, so I removed the stickers, distressed it a bit, and misted it with a bit of brown paint to darken it up a bit. It's still ugly (which actually works for my presentation), but not garish. The thing is built like a tank and works like a dream.
Okay, the animal part: My snake loves this thing. It's easy to load her in, and she settles in and gets comfortable (heck, I'm even using it as a holding area for her while I clean her cage). Now to flesh out the routine and rehearse her a bit more before going in the act!

Working on this bit where I'm a wannabe superhero who's worked hard and can now manifest, with a great deal of effort, some weaker versions of superpowers (mind-reading, x-ray vision, etc.). Just had this idea of saying, "And now, like Spider-Man..." and conjuring a tarantula.
