If you have seen Terry Herbert’s DVD ‘Children’s Magic the Herbert Way’ (which, incidentally, is outstandingly good) you will know this effect and the fun you can get from it: you show a blooming flower in a pot which you have bought as a present. Unfortunately, the flower makes you sneeze, and the petals fall off! The stem is covered and the children help you with the magic. Of course, you need a magic wand, but now the flower grows on the wand – but you never see it! The children think it’s under your arm, but no, it’s back on the wand! Eventually, you do see it, and invisibly throw it towards the covered stem. When you whip off the cover, a moment later, there is the flower, back on the stem! Complete with Blooming Wand.

If ever you wanted a riot – here’s your chance! This is fantastic fun, colourful, comical and visual magic.
