Hi. Does anyone have a good childrens routine for this trick?
Thanks in advance,
Josh

Josh,

Go to http://www.ring2100.org/ropes.html
for some ideas to get you started.

By the way, you should also join the mailing list (assuming you're an IBM member... and if not, you should be)

In my Showtime column in the Linking Ring magazine of January, 1994, I have a routine titled Jack and the Beans Talk.
I used it in kids' shows for years, with all sorts of asides, gags, and various nonsense.
If you want it already made up, golden egg and all, Graham Etherington, of Abracada Promotions markets it out of Australia http://www.mrtricks.com.au/

I use a three bears story when I do it for children, I say the ropes are the three bears, they were cold in winter and a wizard gave them a hot water bottle. they all curled up to sleep and their sharp toes split the hot water bottle and the magic contents came out. when they woke up they were all the same size. A quick trip to the wizard corrects the problem. Throw in a few funny's lots of silliness and the kids love it.

Thank's Emazdad, that's the one I'm going to use! Josh
