The Return of Stickman Bob (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by Kieron Johnson - Trick

Stickman Bob is one of the most spectacular, theatrical and entertaining ways to find a playing card... EVER!

"Such brilliant, mad, obsessive thinking that has created spectacular effects. You are a true one off. Keep up the brilliant work!"
- Andy Nyman

"Kieron Johnson is a genius."
- Fay Presto

"A polar vortex has hit the magic world."
- Wayne Dobson

"Without doubt my favorite routine using flash paper, a brilliant idea from the brilliant mind of one of my favorite performers/creators. A charming trick that leaves the spectator with an impossibly magical souvenir that they can keep forever."
- Jamie Raven

"Since seeing Kieron's original Bob routine, I've been hooked on this plot. The addition of the cannon, more fire and now the animated character bursting through the deck makes this a complete, wild and fun routine. I use it as a table piece at weddings and corporate functions, and the reactions are electric. It's an addictive story and will stay with me."
- Steve Rowe

Stickman Bob is no ordinary stickman, he will find your spectator's signed card in the most breathtaking way leaving them with an awesome souvenir.

A card is selected, signed, and returned to the deck. Introduce Bob, your magician stickman friend, and let the fun begin!

Bob is also a stuntman and will combine his death-defying skills to find their card.

A cannon is introduced and yes - Daredevil Bob is going to get shot out of the cannon!

The countdown starts, and Bob is shot from the cannon towards the deck and it bursts into flames.

The flames subside - Bob can be seen to have burnt his way through the box and the deck and his smoked silhouette remains are on the back of the signed card.

Stickman Bob is ideal for all types of performance, street, close-up, even parlor and stage.

It is very easy to do, has fantastic visuals, has great emotional connections and is an effect your audience will remember that leaves them with their signed burnt Bob card at the end!

You are supplied with the Stickman Bob Deck complete with laser cut-out burnt cards, smoking template and the fantastic NEW STYLE Toy Cannon for Bob to launch from.

Sheets of flash paper are not supplied due to international shipping regulations, but we do provide a flash tutorial that explains everything.

For those not wishing to use fire in their performance or are too young to use flash products, we include a non-flash version using an audio sound file with countdowns in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, German and Italian.

Stickman Bob is Kieron's homage to the great work of Bob Farmer, Andrew McCarthy, David Ben. The stickman drawing was inspired by Dan Harlan.

TV rights not included.
