Liepzig cigarette paper

[Michael Westen]

This is what I believe to be one of the greatest routines ever conceived. I love the fact that it is done so pin point in your face. I wonder if anyone else does it and do you get "Hey! I wonder what you do with those papers"
I perform it all the time and that is all I use the paper for but
I would also be interested in those that don't do it based on the association of what the paper is generally used for.

I will tell you if you don't perform it you should it kills!

I think with so many states legalising weed nowadays, there could be a whole routine built around that idea.

Actually I have thought of that myself. I have found that this "Oh I wonder what you use that for" is very common. I try to shrug it off and get past it quickly. I have tongue in cheek at times said something to the fact that its good you have experience with this. It puts the joke back on them a bit. I have also said "is it your brand?" I don't do this except for people who are not offended by such props to start with.

Michael Skinner performed this with a soda straw wrapper. The straw itself provides plenty of cover for the restored ball.
