Something Silly With Shoot

Every magician needs a few humorous tricks to engage their audience. In this unique performance, Shoot reveals his technique for launching a rubber band from his fingers, which amusingly spins back to his shoe. You’ll also learn how to bend a silver spoon at a 90-degree angle, only to restore it to its original form, delighting the owner. Watch as Shoot detaches his thumb while it appears to float in midair, and then stretches it away from his hand, all while maintaining control with his other fingers. Finally, he demonstrates a whimsical trick involving a crayon that seemingly shrinks as it travels up his nose and emerges from his eye—pure visual delight! The experience concludes with a classic Daffy Duck cartoon, where he tries to persuade Porky Pig to help him become a Hollywood star.
