Approx. 13” long and 11oz ea.
What the Effect Does:
This classic set of Chinese Sticks features two metal tubes finished in a muted blue enamel with metallic gold end caps and traditional red tassels. The performer holds both sticks side-by-side, displaying a long cord hanging from one stick and a short cord hanging from the other. When the short cord is pulled, the long cord on the adjacent stick magically draws upward, implying an invisible connection between them. Even when the sticks are separated or held at wide angles, the mysterious synchronization continues until the performer delivers a classic comedic climax showing there is no physical connection at all.
Why Add It to Your Repertoire:
Chinese Sticks are universally recognized as one of the greatest "packs small, plays big" comedy magic routines ever created. Vintage metal construction offers distinct advantages over modern lightweight plastic sets, including smoother internal weight action, durability, and a satisfying tactical feel during performance. The classic retro color combination gives this set a timeless, collectible aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for platform shows, kid-show comedy, or display in a vintage magic collection.
