Two volunteers assist you to re-create the story of William Tell. An apple (wooden) is examined and a silk handkerchief is marked for further identification.
The apple is wrapped in a paper napkin, while the marked silk is loaded into a clear “shotgun shell” and inserted into the rear of your “home made” Pop Gun…
To help the audience follow the silk’s invisible flight across the stage, you blow up a balloon and isolate it in a round holder…a bit like a tennis racket with no strings.
The apple is placed on top of one helper’s head while the other levels the Pop Gun at the balloon. The trigger is pulled…
POP! A banner pops out the end of the gun! POP! The balloon breaks! The apple is unwrapped and the hanky removed by the helper. It’s their marked silk!
