The performer shows a large cut-out of a cat with a long black tail. This is his cat, he tells the children, and his name is Midnight. What Midnight loves most of all is being stroked. The performer strokes him, which the cat obviously enjoys, but unfortunately, Midnight’s tail falls off! Attempts to replace the tail fail disastrously, until someone suggests using magic. Midnight is placed back on his wall, and the tail is popped into a bag, from where it mysteriously vanishes. “No problem!” says the performer. “It’s obviously back on the cat,” which of course it is, except that when Midnight is uncovered, he’s now got a bright YELLOW tail! The business is repeated, but, this time, things are even worse as Midnight has a PINK tail! The children are asked merely to wish for a tail. As they do so, INSTANTLY and VISIBLY there is Midnight with his proper black tail! This is a lovely, and very different children’s trick, with plenty of color, fun, participation and magic. It packs flat, but plays BIG! (Overall height is approx. 26”) >
