This trick could NEVER FOOL ANYONE. I've seen it LIVE and it RUINED the REPUTATION of the magician who performed it. DON"T BUY THIS, you'll THANK ME LATER. I agree with DAI VERNON, JOHN HILLIARD and ROBERT HOUDIN all who agree with me that THIS IS THE WORST TRICK ever invented since CANZ and PASSING THRU.

Just kidding, I thought I'd save QuantumFizzicks the trouble since he hadn't spotted this thread yet. Seriously, the demo looks great and Kevin may have another winner here.

I've worked out a method but I'm having trouble finding a deceptive palm for the tinsnips and the clean up of the soldering iron is also a bit problematical. You need to do some serious stalling while standing there dirty before you put that sucker back in your pocket! Needless to say, early practice sessions were more than a bit dodgy. I'm hoping Kevin has found a slightly more elegant solution.

The tin-snips go up your sleeve attached to a strong spring. All you need to do is jump off a chair with your arm by your side and when your feet hit the floor the tin-snips will pop out of your sleeve and into your palm. NOTE: You need to grab them quickly before the spring retracts and sends them flying into your arm pit.

For the soldering iron you DO need some strong misdirection. I personally use a funkenring and some flash paper to ignite a small domestic cat, I find this creates all the misdirection I need. Admittedly the reset of the cat does take some time (and it's only good for a few performances) but it's this extra effort that separates the pros from the cons.

For the clean up - No need to stand around 'dirty' waiting for the soldering iron to cool , just send it into your topit. Ofcourse the iron will still be very hot, so the moment it hits the topit, I immediately take off the coat and throw it over the cat. Voila!!!

Billy, I fear we've said too much already. We should probably move this to secret sessions before this gets out.
