Description
The performer invites several children to assist him to change a plain black cube into a colourful alphabet block by magic.
FIRST THE LETTERS FOR THE BLOCK ARE MADE… This creates a lot of fun as the children are instructed to "finger draw" the letters designated by the performer. After various bits of business, the performers "peels off" the invisible letters that the children have drawn in the air, and drops them into the upturned cover. The cover is then inverted and dropped over the PLAIN BLOCK. One of the children then uses a white wand to make the letters appear on the block. The performer opens the door to show that this has indeed happened: A LARGE WHITE ‘A’ can now be seen in front of the block!
NOW THE BLOCK HAS TO MADE MORE COLOURFUL… This time the children use YELLOW, RED, AND BLUE coloured wands to bring about this change.
Finally, the performer lifts the cover again to reveal that the plain black block is now A BRIGHT YELLOW with RED, BLUE, ORANGE, AND GREEN LETTERS ON ITS SIDES.
COLOURFUL APPARATUS…MYSTERY…AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION! All the essentials of children’s entertainment.

Colourful Props and Great Routine!
Well, this is my third long discontinued children effect built by Alan to be added to my collection. It’s quite a handful of props, but a beautful apparatus overall, and it has everything for a great colourful, clever, and easy to perform effect that will have the kiddies participating extensively in the magic to follow.
These are large props; the ABC block itself measures 3 1/2 inches. His children effects sure take up a lot of space, especially if your collecting interest lies mostly on close-up or mini-magic apparatus, but I wouldn’t hesitate to add more if possible. Alan never fails to impress me with his magic, despite quite a collection, and Alphabet Antics left me with more admiration of his inventive mind and outstanding craftsmanship.
