Daffy-Nitions by Elbert Gardner

If you perform in Living Rooms,
If you perform in social halls,
If you perform on stage,

or all of the above

then this is the trick for you

A full five minute of laugh filled entertainment you can perform without having to memorize any patter, or practice any difficult moves.

Effect: THe magician shows a paper bag to be empty, and place a length of ribbon within, bringing each end over theopposite sides of thebag. Anumber of alphabet cards are now shown, and also placed into the bag. Next, the magician displays a packet of 3x5 inch cards, each imprinted with a word.

One by one the wards are shown, and humorously defined. The cards are then fanned, face down, and a spectator is asked to select one. "the magic is made", and the ends of the ribbon are rasied and spread apart between both hands revealing the name of the selected word spelled out by alphabet cards attached to the ribbon.
