TADA!  Pop-Out Hands - Ideas page

Magician Ken Scott performing his adult show at the Magic Castle with the Magic Drawing Board and the "Tada" Hands.
"I have loved the Magic Drawing Board since they first came out and have used it in many thousands of shows. It is without a doubt one of the top 5 magic tricks ever invented. The TA-DA fnale is icing on the cake. I have been usingTA-DA for several months now ... It is a great addition for all of your shows but I have found it especially nice for those clients who might have seen you before. It says to them that you are still growing and improving your act..." Dal Sanders
IDEAS

The hands when configured to go straight up also looks like the " Wave".... You could start the wave around your audience a few times and then end with the board throwing it's hands up.

Or the hands UP looks like a hold up. After arguing with him for a while about "say goodbye it's time to go"....the drawing keeps talking and ignoring you.... You hold a gun to it....(or just your hands in the shape of a gun)....and he throws his hands up... OKAY I'LL GO.....GOODBYE FOLKS".

Hands up can hold a banner as shown in the video. Happy Birthday is included in the package. You could also make a custom banner for any show you would do. A scrap of fabric and a marker will do the trick. It could say...

"Happy Anniversary"

"Number one Salesman"

"Applause"

"Congrats to Mary & John"

"God Loves You"

etc.

What else for hands UP?

HANDS DIAGONALLY -

The diagonal look has more style like that of a big ending to a song as in the video. But there are probably some other ideas....

What about taping a chosen card in the far diagonal hand?

After the drawing guesses the wrong card 2 or 3 times... the hands pop out....TADA! Is that your card?

A colored silk could be taped to the far hand, or two colored silks in both hands....

What else could be done with the diagonal hand set up?

Attach the "Happy Birthday" Banner...

to the back of the hands with duct tape or stick on velcro.   If you come up with another idea, please tell us!
