This routine, affectionately known as The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine, has been a staple in Tizzy the Clown's shows since he learned it from the legendary Mas-Kar, "The Great White Yogi." Tizzy shared the stage with Mas-Kar during the Christmas pantomime, "Sleeping Beauty," back in 1971 under his other stage name, Les-Le-Roy. Ah, the nostalgia!
The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine has been tried and tested by thousands of children’s parties and family shows. It’s like the classic sitcom of magic routines—always delivers a laugh!
All you need is a glass, a bottle of soda pop, and a magic wand (or a wooden spoon if you’re feeling cheeky). This routine is packed with fun, and let’s be honest, kids love to shout out and join in—just try to keep them in their seats!
Here’s how it works: you pour soda into a clear glass, give it a stir with your wand, and voilà! The liquid magically transforms into an ice-lolly. But wait, there’s more! The wand gets stuck in the "solid" treat, and then it hilariously becomes stuck to your hand! (No, you’re not pulling a muscle; it’s magic!) You can even open your fingers wide, and there it is, suspended in mid-air for all to see!
And just when they think it can’t get any more ridiculous, you spin that wand like a pro, showing off the 360-degree glass rotation—without a single drop spilled. Now that’s what I call solid proof!
Finally, the wand comes free, and the liquid returns to its former fizzy glory—perfect for a cheeky sip to wrap things up. Tizzy’s been rocking this routine for over 46 years, and Jonathan Royle, his son, has been dazzling kids with it since 1989. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, eh?
This package includes a comprehensive instructional PDF, featuring 65 full-colour photographs and two videos—a live performance and a ‘how to’ guide that will help you whip up all the props you need without breaking the bank. (Seriously, a trip to the dollar shop could do the trick!)
You’ll even discover Jonathan Royle’s go-to routine that leads perfectly into The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine—because every great trick deserves a solid backstory!
Making the props for this routine is easy-peasy and can be done with items from most bargain shops. This is undoubtedly a “worker’s” routine that will keep both kids and adults giggling, and it’s a steal at just $20.00. What are you waiting for?
