BOBO THE MAGICIAN
 

Putting together a children's act takes a lot of time and money. Children are a demanding audience that can only be captivated with a well-balanced combination of humor, magic, excitement, and entertainment, and achieving this mix is not something that can be done overnight. Years of experience and the use of the right props are the foundation of a successful children's show, but imagine if others could gather that experience for you, package it into a brand-new product, allowing you to acquire all these elements in one purchase, providing you with the basis for a stage and afternoon-filling children's act. Ladies and gentlemen, may we introduce: BOBO, THE MAGICIAN!

 

On stage stands a beautifully decorated, life-sized magician with a table beside him and a top hat on it. The magician looks glum because he's having a serious dispute with his magic rabbit about the usefulness or absurdity of his top hat. While it may be THE symbol of magic, the rabbit believes it should only be his home and a place to occasionally pop out from, but the magician wants to use it for card tricks and other magic acts. The magician ignores the rabbit and does as he pleases, but the rabbit won’t let this go unchallenged and constantly throws a wrench in the works. The rabbit's frantic attempts to ruin the card trick provide endless comedic opportunities, as the young audience will undoubtedly side with the rabbit. The magician selects a jumbo card and places the jumbo deck into the top hat, but each time he utters a magic spell, the wrong card appears. How can this be? Then it becomes clear: suddenly the rabbit pops out of the top hat! The magician tries to catch it but is always too late, of course. Then the magician starts chasing the long-eared rabbit, who finds it all great fun, appearing on either side of the table (à la run-rabbit-run) only to finally reappear in the hat. The rabbit can also appear on the back of a child or in your inside pocket... no idea is too crazy! (An extra-large rabbit and a half rabbit (for the pocket) are included). In sheer frustration, the magician hits the hat, causing it to fall open and cards scatter to the ground. The only thing left to do is to call for the children's help: they can shout a magic spell to make the rabbit disappear or at least to find the chosen card. After much urging, they do so, but the only thing that happens is that suddenly a dove or other objects appear in Bobo's hand. In a final attempt, Bobo’s pants even fall down! But after a lot of hocus pocus, the rabbit makes a surprising finale appearance on Bobo's head with the correct card between its paws: all's well that ends well.

 

This in itself is already an afternoon-filling program, but BOBO is also designed to hold almost all the props for the rest of your show, and silks can also be pulled out of his breast pocket. Many of your older props will suddenly come back to life because they take on a whole new dimension in Bobo’s hands.

 

You have now realized that this is top-notch children's entertainment but certainly not a child's toy: high-quality finish and multiple remote control functions. And when we talk about remote control at this level, we mean reliable electronics that we stand behind 100% and that function flawlessly at all times, so you only have to focus on the presentation and the children. Can you wish for more? Yes? Well, BOBO can also be set up and folded back down into an easily transportable "suitcase" on wheels in no time. It's dangerous to say we've thought of everything in the development of this product, but we come pretty darn close!

 

A must-have for every professional children's entertainer!
