Lee Alex has cooked up something rather delightful with the OLD MACDONALD'S GAG BAG, featuring a cheeky routine idea from the talented Rafael (Belgium).
This is not just your average Chameleon/Gag Bag effect; it’s got a splash of nostalgia, marrying it with the beloved children’s ditty, "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". Yes, the outside of the bag flaunts a charming barn where all the critters reside (and yes, you'll wish you lived there).
Get ready for a rollicking good time, with plenty of audience involvement as they take a stab at guessing which animals are frolicking on Old MacDonald's farm. You’re in control, so show off those animals in whatever order you fancy! The audience gets to belt out a rendition of "Old MacDonald" and, of course, they can make those animal sounds as the bag gets turned inside out (it’s all part of the fun).
And there’s more! You also get an optional routine from the renowned comedy magician and illusionist RAFAEL. Picture this: the magician is on a mission to help Old MacDonald track down his elusive dog. The kids spot a picture of the dog when the bag is flipped inside out. But the magician? Not a clue! One by one, more animals pop up, and still no sign of the dog. In a twist, the magician peeks inside the bag again, and lo and behold, there’s just a silhouette where the dog should be! It’s like a bad game of hide and seek!
But wait, there’s more! After another cheeky rummage, the magician pulls out the dog’s "leash" (which is, spoiler alert, a long modelling balloon). Inflate it and voilà, you’ve got yourself a model dog to gift to the birthday kid or a willing helper (because who doesn’t love balloons?).
As a cherry on top, you’ll also receive a 2D cut-out of the dog that can make a surprise appearance on your back, a child helper’s back, or wherever else you fancy (it’s all in good fun, isn’t it?).
Crafted from brightly coloured custom printed fabric, this bag showcases 6 familiar farm animals:
