The Vampire Bee by Tommy James

You display the backs of five cards each with a picture of a magic hat. Ask the children “What do magicians pull out of hats?” Of course they respond “Rabbits!” Turn the cards around and state that you have five different colored rabbits. There is a blue rabbit, yellow, red, green and . . . Oh no! The children discover on one of the cards there is a VAMPIRE BEE! ( A bee with BIG HUGE fangs!) You notice the vampire bee, place it aside, grab a fly swatter (not included) and give it a few whacks! The kids go bananas!

You now show four different colored rabbits. State that you will make one rabbit disappear when you say “Abra” and they say “Cadabra!” But when you count the rabbits again another vampire bee appears! The kids are screaming to let you know! Place the bee aside, grab the fly swatter and give it a few whacks. The children are in stitches!

Next you show three different colored rabbits. You attempt to make one disappear but, another vampire bee appears! Pandemonium! Grab the swatter . . . Whack, Whack, Whack! This happens two more times until ALL the rabbits have turned into vampire bees! You turn around to discard all the bees and, oh no! The children see a vampire bee hanging on your back! The children are in an absolute frenzy!

This is a high-energy trick with lots of excitement that really gets the audience responding! The cards measure 5-1/2” high by 4-1/4” wide, printed in vibrant colors on 16pt card stock with a protective gloss finish. Complete with detailed written instructions with lots of photos AND a private link to an instructional video to help make the learning process clear and easy. Fly swatter not included.
