Freddie the Magical High Jumping Flea is the go-to opener for seasoned magicians looking to kick off their children's parties and family shows with a bang. This routine has been part of Tizzy the Clown's act for nearly 60 years—proof that it’s not just a flash in the pan!
Jonathan Royle, Tizzy's son, has been dazzling audiences with this gem for over 27 years himself. He’s found it to be the perfect way to win over crowds, warm them up for the show, and get them on your side from the get-go.
Think of it as the Classic Monkey Bar Routine's cheeky cousin, but with a twist: three glasses perched on a small tray. One of those glasses secretly holds a vibrant silk.
In a hilarious twist, the silk magically hops from one glass to another, but only after the magician has cleverly hidden the tray behind their back. The audience will soon catch on, erupting with laughter and cries of, "You turned it around!"
With plenty of comedic interactions and audience engagement—something you can see in the two videos featuring Tizzy the Clown, who has perfected this over countless live performances—get ready for a double whammy of magic as the grand finale.
First, the silk makes a stunning leap from one glass to another right under their noses! And as if that’s not enough, it then jumps from the end glass straight into the center one, leaving your audience in a frenzy of applause and disbelief.
The idea of a silk jumping from glass to glass isn’t new—originally marketed by Abbott's Magic Company with Victor Trask's Tri-Fly-Silk back in the '60s, and later reimagined by Ken Brooke in the '70s. Since then, various versions have popped up from dealers around the globe.
With this package, you’ll receive a PDF eBook packed with all the details you need, plus access to several videos showcasing live performances of "Freddie" the Magical High Jumping Flea. You’ll also get 39 full-color photographs that will guide you in crafting the props easily and cheaply—just a few common items you can snag from your local dollar store.
This routine has been audience-tested across thousands of shows, and trust me, Freddie the Magical High Jumping Flea is one of the best investments you’ll make for your act! It’s a steal at just $20.00.
