"I now know that Celebrity Smart Ass is the reason I created the Smart Ass concept in the first place. It's a perfect marriage of bulletproof method and commercial presentation. AND it's no longer a card trick anymore! Celebrity Smart Ass a permanent piece in my show...and now it can be for you too!" - Bill Abbott
Routine: Prepare yourself for a delightful romp through our collective obsession with celebrities. You’ll kick things off by testing the audience’s celebrity smarts with a selection of cards featuring their first names. As you rattle off names like "Paris!" the audience chimes in with "Hilton!" (it’s a crowd-pleaser, trust me). You’ll up the ante by inviting a ‘celebrity expert’ from the crowd—someone who fancies themselves a bit of a psychic when it comes to celebrity recognition. Once they’re on stage, you present them with a large envelope and a chair (yes, they’ll be sitting on it). Now, with a sprinkle of their so-called "celebrity intuition" (and a bit of cheeky humour), they’ll try to guess the mystery celebrity hiding beneath them. After a series of enchanting decisions—tossing away half the names and cutting them down to the final few—the volunteer lands on "Tom" for Tom Cruise. They hand you the envelope, and voila! Out comes a photo of a six-month-old Tom Cruise, looking adorably bare (yes, naked as a jaybird)! Expect laughter as you unfold this photo, cheekily asking the crowd whether they think baby Tom was cuter than the adult version. Just when they think it’s all over, you flip the photo to reveal a stunning grown-up headshot of...you guessed it, Tom Cruise!
