Cub Scout Related Tricks
1. The Knotty Neckerchief:
Effect: A Scout neckerchief is visibly tied in a knot. With a magical gesture, the knot vanishes!
Method: Use a false knot or a quick-release knot. Practice the handling to make the vanish smooth and deceptive.
2. The Compass Caper:
Effect: A compass is shown pointing North. The magician covers it briefly, and when revealed, the needle mysteriously points South (or any other direction).
Method: A small, hidden magnet is used to manipulate the compass needle.
Trick to Teach: The Jumping Rubber Band
Effect: A rubber band visibly jumps from the pinky and ring finger to the index and middle finger.
Method: This is a classic beginner trick using a sneaky finger switch. Plenty of tutorials are available online. It’s easy to learn and teach, making it perfect for younger Scouts.

Blue & Gold Sparks Show Specs.
The Blue & Gold Sparks Show packs small and plays big.
The space required for the show is a 4x4 foot area. Usually the kids sit on the floor and the magician performs at his magic table.
It's recommended that the performance area be against a wall. Usually a living room, basement, party room or garage works best. If performing outside, a deck, or under a tree works best. Also a canopy tent works great. If performing outside, please have a back-up plan in case of bad weather. A canopy tent or inside would be a good plan.
