Comedy Salt Shaker by TCC

Effect

The Comedy Salt Shaker is a classic magic prop designed to create laughter and surprise. When a magician uses it, the shaker produces an exaggerated, comical sound instead of the expected sprinkle of salt. This unexpected twist turns a simple action into a humorous moment. The shaker can be used in various routines, such as making objects change (like cards or coins) or enhancing sponge ball or coin tricks by "sprinkling" them with "magic salt."

The Comedy Salt Shaker includes:

• A genuine salt shaker (for switching purposes).
• A comedy shaker that produces the exaggerated sound effect.
• A taught three-ball routine (though balls are not included).

The sound design is finely tuned for maximum comedic impact, making it a reliable prop for performers. The genuine shaker allows for clean switches, adding versatility to performances.

This trick is ideal for:

• Comedy magicians who want to add lighthearted moments to their acts.

Difficulty

What Magicians Say
