Exploding Legs Table
Hughes, Jack
Worked with great success by the late Arthur Dowler, Tommy Cooper, Ken Brooke ... those who have seen the above acts will testify to the value of “Legs Table”.
EFFECT: On stage, there are two tables (the four-legged kind). Wanting to show an effect more intimately, performer picks up one of the tables and advances to the front of the stage ... but ... Horror of Horrors ... one of the front legs DROPS OFF completely! Looking troubled, magician looks nervously around, wondering what to do, then, to his utter consternation ... the OTHER front leg DROPS OFF too! Looking utterly bewildered, he gazes here and there, as if silently appealing for help ... when ... all of a sudden ... WHAM! two legs APPEAR INSTANTLY on the front of the table, they are a shapely pair of Ladies’ Legs! He heaves a sigh of relief, puts the table down, and carries on with his normal show! You will “stop the show” with this one. It is such a “natural” that I have seen a member of the audience run up to the stage, to help the “unfortunate magician”! This of course, brings even more, and greater LAUGHS!!!
The Outfit consists of Large Table - the mechanical one. The table-top area measures 26 ins. by 15 ins., large enough to carry the biggest props. For easy packing and carrying, complete with carrying- handle. Mechanically perfect, and excellently made.
