Gather 'round, kids! We’ve got a delightful mishmash of your favourite furry friends!
Picture this: a magical piece of folding paper that expands like your uncle's waistband after Christmas dinner... and it's crammed with vibrant cartoon renditions of animals that all the little ones adore. Now, every time you unfold this paper, those images start to morph into one another. That, dear friends, is why Animal Mistake will have the kids in stitches, eagerly pointing out every blunder you make while they giggle at the grand, visual finale.
“Do dreams come true?” you ask as you reveal a prediction envelope.
One lucky child picks an animal from a cheeky little colouring book. You whip open the envelope, only to reveal a rabbit. Cue the chorus of “Wrong!” from the audience—and that’s when the magical animal morphing kicks off right before their wide eyes.
With each unfolding, the paper grows and the illustrations magically change. Watch as the rabbit transforms into a small dog, then stretches into a dachshund, morphs into a seal, and then a chicken before finally becoming a stork.
Every time you insist you’re spot on with your prediction, the kids will gleefully shout, “You’ve made an Animal Mistake! It’s supposed to be an elephant!” (Honestly, kids are brutal.) You drop a cheeky line about storks and their supposed baby-delivering duties, then unfold the last section of the enormous paper to reveal the stork is actually carrying a tiny elephant!
Luis Zavaleta and Professor Otto have crafted this prop and routine based on Dick Stoner's "Grave Mistake." Kids can’t get enough of watching the paper grow as it unfolds, revealing a brand-new creature each time!
You get:
A pre-folded, super-sized (23 x 15 inches/57 x 39 cm) animal prediction printed on high-quality paper and encased in plastic for durability.
A special Svengali colouring book filled with animals, making it a breeze to force that pesky elephant.

If you're performing magic or clowning for children, trust me, you won’t go wrong with Animal Mistake at your next show.
