Yeah. Don't do a magic trick with fuzzy little bright-colored animals for adults.

Steve, don't mean to step on your toes. But every magician is not the same. I can understand if you like doing it, but some magicians do not.

paisa23 - I don't know the exact patter you are talking about and how edgy or blue that it teeters on for adults BUT if you are interested, I will share my audience tested adult sponge bunny patter. Just shoot me a PM and I'll help you out.....

Cheers,

Justin

I understand that, but for Natanel to say not to do sponge bunnies, as if it's definitive is just ridiculous. I was simply posting because sponge bunnies friggin' rock. ALL AUDIENCES LOVE THEM!! I'm sure many more will agree with me on that one.

I like sponge balls as well but I wanted an adult version of that as well. Ding dong is to big to carry around. But trust me Everyone my age group 22 to 35 love the bunnies, especially if you make it about how Bunnies Procreate. Im in the Airforce and work with a bunch of guys who love that stuff.

What he said.

It's been said before : Sponge Bunnies is the trick that is only done by rank amateurs and hardcore professionals. I think Ammar called it one of the strongest closeup tricks ever, and he's 100% right.

Sponge bunnies or balls are a solid close up effect for adults and children. I suggest any worker getting a good sponge routine. Its a great diversion from cards and coins.

I do sponge bunnies for female adults and it really does kill
guys prefere a good card effect that can really baffle them but the bunnies get everyone laughing, screaming as they hop out and let the rest of the function know your there really!
I held back from bunnies for to long thinking there to simple/cheesy but give them a go, you'll be suprised

THe bunnies rock and if you can do a total vanish at end with a dad or guy at table for kids/girl it blows the table away. Guys like being in on the action and they are more receptive to anything to come after the bunnies.

It is not ridiculous to him. That is why he posted it. Some magicians will say doing the matrix on a table rocks. Some will not because they think it is rude by being in the way.

Not all audiences love them because it depends on the way it was performed. Not all magicians are in a high level with Sponge Bunnies. Some magicians do not like using the bunnies, but the balls instead. The magician might have a better performance with "Cigarette Thru Quarter" instead.

I perform Sponge Bunnies too. That is my favorite close-up effect. But not to all magicians. Just because we love doing it does not mean everyone magician must do it.

Haha. I knew many will disagree with me. Sponge-anything tends to deeply offend my aesthetic sensibilities, but I will concede that the right performer can probably get great mileage out of a a sponge-related effect.

Still I would encourage everyone to make sure that one of the least elegant effects in all of magic (and that is truly saying something) fits their performance character perfectly, because their are many alternate effects out there.

Elegance isn't a matter of what you use but in what manner you use what you have. Some of the most elegant performers in the world use sponge objects, one simply has to be creative enough to fit it to what you do. That doesn't mean coming up with some excuse as to why you have what you have. Honestly, people don't care. They know you're a magician and they know you have odd objects on you, you don't have to give some intricate reasoning as to why you have a sponge item. You're a magician, that's why you have it.

Eric Henning once performed sponge bunnies at the White House. He's the only magician to have ever been invited back. If the White House, which is a black tie affair, isn't considered elegant, I don't know what is.

Mike, once again you're failing to understand what I'm saying, but at the same time you're proving my point. It IS ridiculous for him to say so definitively not to do sponge bunnies. That's his opinion, but how he originally posted, it made it sound like sponge bunnies were the worst thing in the world for adults. Which really, I think it's one of the best tricks to perform, in any environment. At the end of the day, elegant setting or not, people are people. Sponge bunnies can get reactions from everyone.
