Zooloo – Bob Kline

An original Bob Kline invention remade with permission.

Zooloo – one of the most versatile kids’ effects we have ever seen. Not just one effect, but a whole world of possibilities!

Here’s one of the effects you can do with Zooloo:
Show a large wooden cage. It’s 13” tall, 12” wide, and 3” deep. Made of wood and beautifully decorated in red, gold, and green. Inside the cage, and in full view of the kids, is a large white card. explain that you took a trip to the zoo, looked in the cage, but there weren’t any animals! Well, we’ve got to try and get some animals in the cage! Tip the cage over and remove the white card. Show it on both sides. It is absolutely blank. Slip it back in the cage. Now, bring out a transparent bag full of animal names. There are all kinds of animals – Lions, Tigers, Bears, Parrots, Elephants, etc. Ask one of the kids to pick one of the names. Let’s say they pick the parrot. Ask all the kids to think really hard of the Parrot and say the magic words Zooloo- Zooloo- Zooloo! Well, when you take out the white card and turn it around, Lo and behold! It has changed into a beautiful picture of a parrot!

Here’s another effect: show the cage with a white card in it. Turn the cage over and remove the card. When you turn it around, it shows a beautiful picture of a Parrot. Put the Parrot back in the cage, white side out have one of the kids pick an animal name. He picks the Bear (lots of potential here as you can pretend that he picked the Parrot, miscalling the Bear Parrot!) well, you say the magic words, and when you remove the card from the cage, it has turned into Bear!!

Lots of other routines will come to mind once you start to work with this dynamite prop.
Comes complete with the “cage” & large cards (nicely silk screened), the special gimmick and instructions.
