Buma’s Amber

Description

An effect millions of years in the making! Amber is fossilized tree resin that has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times.

Effect: The performer introduces a piece of Golden “Fossilized Resin” AMBER, it is seen to contain within its clear hardened resin center an embedded spider, it is freely passed around for all to view and handle, explaining the fossilization process takes up to 10 million years! The performer upon retaking hold of the AMBER proceeds to demonstrate how the spider found its way to being entrapped within the AMBER, he does this by momentarily encircling his fingers around the AMBER, at the some time he requests one of the spectators to extend out one of their hands palm up, the performer then visibly holds the AMBER with its entombed spider just above the spectator’s outstretched palm and request all to focus on the entrapped spider, as they do this they suddenly begin to see the spider ever so slightly move within the AMBER, the movement continues when all of a sudden the spider leaps FREE onto the spectators outstretched palm, leaving the solid piece of “Fossilized Resin” AMBER now visibly empty of its once entrapped and entombed spider.

The spider now lies free on the outstretched open palm of the SHOCKED spectator and in full view of the astonished audience!

Note: If you do this for the right audience there is no doubt you’ll freak them all out. It does require a switch of the resin but Buma provides a useful gimmick to make this easy and because the item is switched well before they know what to expect you should be ahead of game before they realize what to look for.

Very nicely made and very unique as with all of Buma’s props. Just be careful not to scare them to death!
