We have a kids show in a few months with a building and construction theme, so I had the idea of making a square circle out of drain pipes.
The outer box is a piece of channel drain, and the tube is a piece of PVC storm-water pipe. I have deliberately not decorated the pipe, to make it look simply like a couple of pieces of drainage parts. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10xZrYM1......=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/15d-Lydz......=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mwP2VY4......=sharing The routine I am considering would have the following premise: A builder/homeowner is having trouble with their drains being blocked, but looking right through the drain and the pipe, they can't seem to find the blockage. Then of course, out come a whole bunch of things that would explain the blockage. e.g. some silks, a tennis ball, a stuffed animal, a few small rubber ducks (anything that could perhaps block a drain). It is then shown empty again, showing that the blockage must be clear, meaning water should be able to now flow, and finally a bottle of drinking water is revealed. One question I have is regarding a base. Most square-circle illusions come with a base to put the apparatus on. I understand how this can help as a reason for putting the box over the tube before taking the tube out again to show it empty, as well as separating it from the table. However, I'm wondering whether a base would seem out of place with this apparatus. I'm thinking to leave it as it is. Secondly, the top of the B**** A** tube can be seen from anywhere greater than a 10 degree elevation above the channel drain. I'm wondering whether I need to cut the tube shorter, or just make sure I always perform this at or above eye level. Any thoughts? Thanks Stephen
