Folks, I hope you will forgive the intrusion of a mere magician into the clowning forum, but I have a prop question that I suspect is best asked here. Does anyone know of a source for a giant fly-swatter? I am looking for one for the 'Troll Hunt' routine in David Ginn's 'Kid Biz', and all I can find is promotional firms that want to sell a minimum lot of 100 at a time.

Many thanks, in advance.

Whoa! Very quick response, and an excellent resource, as well. I see many more goodies that can be adapted for children's magic. Many thanks, Steve.

Clown antics is a great site. I was just at their "shop" today picking up some supplies. very nice people.

Cool, they have a shop now? I remember when it was a call before you come garage/mail order operation. Ron, Sue and Pam owners of clown Antics are top shelf.

Regan,

Texas flies have trailer hitches and fog lights.

Bob,

Those suckers must have some powerful wings! On take off I bet they probably stir up as much Texas dust as a helicopter would.

Of course, this begs the question... and just what Texas-based pants maker would make a pants with giant flies???
