THE LONG & SHORT OF IT is not a card trick.
THE LONG & SHORT OF IT is not a coin trick.
THE LONG & SHORT OF IT is David Regal’s magical reimagining of the classic boomerang illusion, a complete routine full of wonder and entertainment, suitable for all ages. Laughter ensues as large pieces of wood seem to transform into increasingly intriguing and colorful combinations.
An elegant burgundy pouch contains four brightly colored pieces of custom-made wood. The theme of the routine can be tailored to the audience:
- A demonstration of audience hypnosis
- A look at poor quality control
- The reason you failed geometry
- The wonder of “verstelbaar hout”
- The power of suggestion
- What happened when you tried to assemble that IKEA thing
- Or even…
The techniques behind classical architecture (Regal’s routine)
THE LONG & SHORT OF IT adds elements to the classic prop that is doors, opening them up to comedic opportunities and magical chaos. It’s three minutes of fun, packed with moments of surprise—that’s THE LONG & SHORT OF IT.
