Lolli Hero by Steve Rowe

A Gimmick Engineered To Impress By Steve Rowe

Steve Rowe is one of the most well-respected magicians, performing artists and speakers in Europe. Hailing from the United Kingdom and working a wide range of crowds, you can trust that when he engineers a gimmick to be offered up to the performing artist’s world, it has been time tested to work right every single time.

Transmuting An Innocent Lollipop With Dramatic Flair

This Lolli Hero trick is a perfect opportunity for you to practice your dramatic performance skills and plays perfectly as your closer in a small group performance. It starts with a seemingly innocent lollipop like you would hand to any cute kid on a sidewalk. It will even stand up to some cursory inspection.

You then place the lollipop in your mouth and encourage a chosen spectator to call out the name of a selected superhero. This is where you can improvise using your jaw, teeth and tongue to cleverly mold and reshape the lollipop. Then when you remove it from your mouth, with dramatic flair, it appears like the head of the superhero the spectator chose.

Though what really makes this gimmick impressive is that it is just as easy to quickly reset and repeat as it is to perform. It’s a great option for times when you might be doing multiple small crowd performances of the same act in a single night, or you are practicing your street performance skills.
