11/05/10 BACK IN STOCK! We have a limited number of these available again. If you have already ordered one, we will be contacting you very soon, so there is no need to order again. In 2009, Practical Magic published John’s outstanding book: How to Create Kids’ Magic and Triple Your Income. One of the routines included in that book, and one of the very best, was John’s version of the Washing Machine. Some versions of this wonderful trick were very heavy; some were top loading; with some you couldn’t let the children remove the socks; some were too large.
We think that John has solved all these problems with the Wacky Washing Machine. The prop weighs only 1.5 kilos (about 2 lb), and the approx. dimensions are H 12” (30cm); W 9” (23cm); and D 5” 13cm).
But it’s what the prop does which really matters. Basically, this is a comedy of errors in which a pair of socks change size, become spotted, are full of holes and finally return to normal. Because of a clever locking mechanism, the children themselves can remove the socks from the drum each time. Added to this, there is a bank of flashing lights and a noisy buzzer. However, a simple description such as the one above gives no inkling of the FUN which the prop can generate. This is a feature effect in any show.
Please note: this is a small-run limited edition. It has taken over 3 months to manufacture these and it is unlikely that we will have any more once current stocks are exhausted. The prop is aimed at the professional children’s entertainer who is looking for outstanding workmanship and comic potential.
