Fly Resurrection
By Kieth Crabtree
This trick is of medium
skill level
Effect:
You
are walking down the street and casually pick any spectator,.
You
ask them to come with you to a nearby car and pick a dead fly off the
windscreen.
You
hold it in your hand, do a few passes with the other hand and appear
to be really concentrating as the fly slowly comes back to life to the
surprise of the spectator.
Preparation:
Freeze the fly.
Method:
You
need to catch a fly and freeze it which puts it in a temporary coma,
this can be done by swatting the fly hard enough to immobilise it then
placing it in a small container in the freezer.
The
fly then needs to be quickly taken to a suitable windscreen IN THE
SHADE and placed there.
It
is important that the car is in the shade to prevent the fly from
defrosting too quickly.
Then
go and find a spectator and take them back to the car which should
appear to be randomly picked.
The
heat of your hand will revive the fly which should soon start to move.
A
lot of this trick is in the actions of you reviving the fly.
It
may be necessary to practice how long it takes for the fly to revive
itself.
Freezing the fly with dry ice or even one of these aerosol canned air
products for cleaning computers is a better way of freezing the fly as
it is quicker and causes less damage to the fly.
Question: What do you call a fly with no
wings?
Answer: A Walk.
