The magician displays a pole that's about 18" in length and 1.5" in diameter. At each end of the pole are two pom poms. Each one is a different color. The magician pulls on the red pom pom and the green pom pom goes up. He then pulls on yellow one and the red one goes up. The purple pom pom is then pulled and the yellow one goes up. This is done several times, and the audience thinks that they have caught on to the secret to the magician's shenanigan, and figured out the secret to the trick. They think that there is a string connecting all the pom poms together. To dispel any such thoughts, the magician separates the pole at the center to show that there are no strings attached. A great sucker effect for the kids shows performer, or even the comedic magicians...or any magician for that matter. Each pom pom measures approx. 2.5" in diameter. This is a fantastic price for this effect.
