Pour Some Sugar on Me


SUGAR RUSH
My latest trick released to the magic community is a quirky new take on the classic salt pour. By combining forces with my long time collaborator, Bob Kohler, we have taken the best aspects of what each of us likes about this plot and method and created a hybrid that has roots in the classical approach, but takes the trick to a whole new level. You can pour endless streams of "sugar" from your hands and the audience is laughing along with your predicament. And the best part is that when you end the routine...you end CLEAN. There is nothing to hide or get rid of at the crucial moment in the performance.

Now sure, there have been a lot of salt pour routines to hit the market in the past few years and all of them have their pluses and minuses. You ask why do we need another one. The answer is basically that no one has really solved the ending problem until now. Bob has really come up with something diabolical that not only allows you to keep pouring and pouring and pouring, but you end like you should....with nothing else to see. Actually to be honest. there are two gimmicks in play but the audience never sees them. The initial gimmick is crafted beautifully and powder coated with a matte black finish that virtually disappears into the shadows. It also has many improvements I cant really disclose, that help make the manipulation effortless.

What I really like about the entire thing is, that it's FUNNY! But not only that, it is a real fooler. I have been opening with this for a while now and after the show people always comment...."Where did all that sugar come from!?!"

Well...folks ...it comes from here:
