Ever wish you had seen David Williamson work his Rocky pitch? Was David Copperfield so inspired by the magic of a guy with a wooden board, and a quarter at Macy's, that he went on to become the most recognizable magician of the last Century? Introducing Anthony "Smiles" working the Squirmy pitch at Toys-R-Us New York City!
...and he will SCHOOL YOU!

Squirmy King at Toy-R-Us Times Square
Re: Squirmy King at Toy-R-Us Times Square
That was nice! I used the Squirmy at one time as an "overt stagehelp" for my cards to pocket routine.
I learned some touches from Dick Koornwinder who was a veteran at performing it (together with a certain mr. T. Wonder back in the days when he was still called Jos)
Tommy once told me that at a certain point he began to "believe" that the thing was really alive.

That guy is real good, Max, not just with the Squirmy, but with the skills one needs to attact a crowd and sell (olr perform) on the street.
I used to do the Squirmy to amuse little kids when I worked at a summer camp.
Ooooh. A cold shudder just passed through my body.
