Non-Children's Tricks with Tootsie Pops

Postby Richard Kaufman » June 18th, 2016, 4:06 pm

I've recently developed a new-found appreciation for Tootsie Pops. Are there any published tricks to be done with them that are not meant for children?

Not published that I know of but easy to acquire and not expensive either.

That's not necessarily a kid's trick. Due to the nature of the props...I mean pops, it's a bit difficult to get away from the kid's aspect if you know what I mean.

I'm not doing a trick with a Tootsie pop and a brown paper lunch bag for an adult.

I'm sure you don't have to use a brown paper bag. It appears to me that anything that will hold the pops will work.

How about a European carry-all? ;)

obvious idea #1: wrap a ball in a duplicate wrapper (sealed and secured appropriately). pretend to pull that off the other end of the stick (keeping real hidden in hand). do ball and wand moves. can also put stick back in pocket and switch for regular stick. or can stick candy end in breat pocket with end of stick staying visible.

do short routine with the ball. can even add color changes etc.

at end reattached ball up stick, open wrapper and enjoy.

I think Tootsie Pops would lend themselves to a variation of Stewart James' "A Kiss In The Dark" (Stewart James in Print: The First 50 Years, page 65). This wouldn't work with most lollipops, considering the nature of most wrappers. However, Tootsie Pops have a wrapping that could work well for this.
