Description
Sun & Moon Mystery: The magician shows a holder shaped like a cloud, opens it, takes out a sun (or, if you prefer, the moon) from the holder – and leaves the holder closed. The magician then takes a box with two compartments. He opens the two doors and shows it empty inside. In one compartment he places the sun and closes the two doors. He asks the audience to remember where the sun is. The box is tilted and the door to the room where the sun was opens to show that it has now disappeared!
The audience, who heard the sound of the sun slipping into the other room, asks the magician to open the other door. The magician closes the first door, then tilts the box again and opens the door to the second room to show that it too is empty. He repeats this gag of pushing the sun from one room to the other several times until the audience asks him to open both doors. The magician opens them and shows the empty rooms: the sun really has disappeared!
He then opens the holder with the cloud that has been on the table all along. And here is the sun!
A classic in children’s and family magic. The routine has been used in performances of Bakkens Pjerrot for many years.
You get some great props. The trick is quite simple and it allows you to concentrate on telling a story about the sun hiding in the clouds.
The sun has a diameter of 10.7 cm. The box including the support leg measures 27.5 x 14 x 4.4 cm.
Includes explanation in English.
Also known as the Moon Man, Pierrot said to the moon.
