This routine, affectionately known as The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine, is a gem that Tizzy the Clown has been tossing into his performance arsenal since the days when disco was king and Mas-Kar, "The Great White Yogi," was showing him the ropes. Tizzy first wowed audiences with this routine back in the Christmas pantomime of "Sleeping Beauty" in 1971, under the moniker Les-Le-Roy. Talk about pedigree!
The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine has stood the test of time, being audience-tested (and giggle-approved) through countless children’s parties and family shows. Seriously, if you’ve got a gig with kids, this is the secret sauce.
What’s the setup? Just a glass, a bottle of soda pop, and your favorite magic wand (or a wooden spoon if you’re feeling rustic). It’s a rollicking routine that not only amazes but also gets the audience involved with plenty of opportunities for them to shout out and join in the fun. Who doesn’t love a bit of chaos?
Here’s how it goes down: you pour soda into a clear glass, give it a stir with your wand, and voilà! The liquid magically transforms into a solid ice-lolly. Yes, you read that right—solid! And just to rub it in, the wand gets stuck in this now-‘solid’ concoction—can’t get it out? Oh, it gets better! Suddenly, the wand is glued to your hand. You can spread your fingers wide, yet the glass and wand remain floating in midair. Cue the gasps!
Then comes the pièce de résistance: you spin that wand around like a pro, and the glass rotates a full 360 degrees, no spills in sight. This lolly is as solid as your last gig’s paycheck!
Finally, the wand comes free, and just like that, the liquid reverts to normal. You can even drink it! It’s the perfect way to wrap up the routine, leaving your audience both amazed and thirsty.
Tizzy’s been rocking this routine for over 46 years, and his son, Jonathan Royle, has also been using it in his kids’ shows since 1989 with fantastic results. Family legacy, anyone?
This package includes an instructional PDF, loaded with 65 full-color photographs, plus access to two videos: one of a live performance and another with all the insider tips you need. You’ll learn how to whip up the props on the cheap, making it a stellar addition to any children’s party or family show. And guess what? You’ll also find out Jonathan Royle’s secret routine that perfectly leads into The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine. Trust me, it’s a natural fit!
All the materials you need to create the props can be snagged easily and affordably at your local dollar or pound store. Seriously, this is a real “worker’s” routine that’s practically a steal at just $20.00. Get ready to impress!
