Pick A Pet - by Neale Bacon

Reviewed by Michael "Close Enough" Norden

Here we are again with another great packet trick. This one if from Neale Bacon, a magician and ventriloquist and an all around nice guy.

‘Pick A Pet’ is another take on the old Tony Curtis trick - “One for the Ladies”, just like Matthew Johnson version. However, this is a kid friendly version! That's right...an adult-themed-trick-turned-into-strolling-kid-magic-trick. Very good idea!

It uses the Australian Count (down/under/down/under) method to have the children pick a pet from the custom made cards. Maybe a dog, cat, hamster etc...you demonstrate the trick with you getting a bird. When it is the child's turn they get...the skunk! Or you can make is so YOU end up with the skunk and the child gets a regular pet.

Very cute and well thought out. I love tricks that are interactive with children and a good strolling card trick suitable for kids is hard to come by. 6 high quality cards are included and it comes with great instructions. Highly recommended!
