Candy Kiss Machine

Scotty York

Viking

(Based on 1 review)
After many years this great effect is back in production, the original Scotty York Routine.

This routine is available ONLY from Denny & Lee and Viking Magic. All others are unauthorized knock-offs.

  • A spectator is shown a small brass container with a cork top. You explain that this is a candy machine. Spectator tears open a bag of sugar and pours it into the container to add sweetness. Then a cocoa bean is dropped in for the chocolate, and finally a dime is added for the silver wrapping.
  • While held in the spectator's hand, the contents vanish and in its place is a fully wrapped Hershey's Candy Kiss. For the finale, the tube is smacked and out pours a whole handful of candy kisses. This is the basic routine for the Candy Kiss Machine but there is more. Included with the apparatus is the Diamond Mine routine for the ladies and the Heba Haba Al Pea Can routine which is perfect for the bar scene.
  • This is a high quality piece and includes an excellent booklet of routines.

Note: The version offered by Viking uses a cork stopper, not the plastic stopper as suggested by Denny. This is due to a manufacturing problem, but does not affect the handling or use of this effect.

This is a Scotty York classic, now available thanks to Denny & Lee and Viking.

The machining is excellent, as expected. I got my copy directly from Denny & Lee in Las Vegas, so I got the rubber stopper. I haven't tried it with a cork, but I'm guessing Denny is right in suggesting rubber.

What was most fascinating was the booklet included with the props. It covers a lot of the history of the "Pea Can." I had no idea that it was originally an adults-only routine.

Scotty's version with the candy kisses will work for any audience. It's entertaining, full of surprises and based on a great script. While it's not self-working, the one necessary move is well within the capabilities of even a newbie to magic.

In addition to the "candy kiss" routine, you'll find several other full routines, including the original "adult" routine.

This is the perfect routine for the strolling magician. There's a nice gift at the end. If you're working anywhere where food is served, it'll be easy to slide into the script.
