Description
The Purple Orange Eater: In this neat trick, a green shoelace about 70 cm long changes color to orange. Tell the story of a little monster who loved oranges while illustrating the story with shoelaces. Pull the ORANGE shoelace through one hand where it changes color to PURPLE. The children think you have the orange shoelace “in your hand”. But no – it’s GREEN! Finally, you pull the missing orange shoelace out of your pocket. But that’s not all – suddenly you S-T-R-E-L-E-R the orange shoelace from 70 cm to almost 150 cm long as you finish the sweet story of sharing with others. You get the laces and gimmicks along with a thorough explanation and entertaining story.
The routine was created by the famous American children’s entertainer David Ginn.
The trick is also known by names like Chameleon Shoelace and Color Changing Shoelace. In the video, you can see David Ginn doing another variation with different colored shoelaces.
