I won't give you all the details, but basically you reach behind someone's ear and produce...an ear! A fake human ear! Great sight gag. I've taken this idea to more of an extreme than that. For example, I've got ideas with fake noses, too. I put together a booklet with about 30 ideas all together! What a great reaction the basic ear routine gets with all the silly ear puns that go with it. One of my favorite kidshow presentations, that I've come up with anyway.

As a switch on this, it is a great gag to show a coin, then produce a (rubber) ear from it, instead. In fact, I liked this idea so much that I did my entire Showtime column in the Linking Ring magazine of September, 1998, on it. Truly, nothing new under the sun! My "ear from coin" routine has appeared several other places since. cheers, Peter Marucci showtimecol@aol.com

But I got it now. And talk about giving them more than an earful - give them an ear!!! Good one guys! BroDavid If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

Then later in the show you produce part of your ear from their coat or something . Just a thought. Actually I am going to try it now !! The simplicity of magic.

WR Special user Utah 945 Posts	Posted: Aug 22, 2002 02:24 am 0 Depends on the kids.... I also like to take the 3 inch coins and, palming them, produce them from behind kids or teenager ears. I then drop them for a lound CLANK to prove they are real. And Peter I already do the ear from the coin..An eye hu...Hmmmmmmmm Most magically yours, WR "Tell Em WR sent Ya."
Lance Pierce Special user 878 Posts	Posted: Aug 25, 2002 07:41 pm 0 Just as an aside...something I used to do in the restaurants: A coin vanishes, is reproduced from the elbow. Vanishes again, is reproduced from the knee. Vanishes again, this time it goes to the pocket. Vanishes once more, and I reach behind the ear of a kid and come away with about fifteen twenty-dollar bills all in a neat fan. It always killed 'em. TCR
