Brazen Blindfold

THE BLURB:
Previously, you have been bending a bit, and have collected
the parts and pieces of forks and spoons in a cutlery tray,
box or some such. Later on during the set, you are going to
be blindfolded for an experiment. When that time comes, you
use two of the broken off tablespoon bowls from your spoon
bag/cutlery tray, box or etc. You and a spectator tear off
strips of black electrical tape, cloth adhesive medical tape
(or even use large Band-Aids), and tape a spoon bowl tightly
over each of your eye sockets. Small strips may even seal
the bottom and top of each spoon bowl, precluding any light
of sight.

And yet you are able to have almost perfect vision.

MY COMMENTS:
What a devilishly clever prop! Tom has discovered a type of
spoon that looks exactly like a regular everyday table
spoon, however it has unique properties that allow you to
use it deceptively and effectively in a blindfold routine.
The drawback is that these spoon bowls cannot be examined
closely by the participant and you must also have done some
spoon bending in your act. Otherwise, pulling out spoon
bowls would be incredibly suspicious. If you perform metal
bending earlier in your act, the audience will assume the
bowls have already been examined and are ordinary.

The package comes with one page of instructions, which is
all you need. It also includes two spoon bowls to get your
started and eight extra spoons, which should last a good
while. Remember, the spoon bowls are already broken when
you pick them up so you're not using up spoons during each
show. The spoon bowls, if handled carefully, should last
for many shows. I should also mention that the price is
incredibly reasonable. If you do metal bending and
blindfold work, this is highly recommended.
