The card on ceiling was simply amazing. After the show I ran off to the dealers and bought it. I just wanted to know were you put the wax if you are repeating the effect? Thanks, Ste Michael Ammar V.I.P. 83 Posts Posted: Apr 27, 2006 12:37pm       I used the old bit of business made popular by Karl Norman, which was based on a gag by Ed Eckle, whose name is probably spelled different than that, but I don't have a way to check that at the moment.... but it is the gag of using an old tin of SUCRETS, the candy/medicine for sore throats, to hold a batch of rubber bands and a bunch of wax balls for doing the routine. The patter line is, "I'll show you one of the secrets..." and you take out the Sucrets box, for a tiny laugh. The tin version isn't really in circulation now, but they still use a box that looks like the metal version. Anyway, you reach inside to take out one of the rubber bands, and at the same time you secretely remove a ball of wax. This way you can be set to repeat the effect over and over without having to prepare anything. Stephen Williams Regular user 163 Posts Posted: Apr 28, 2006 10:53am       Thank you for the help.
