Adairs Black Hole Bat (FT) | D. Robbins & Co.

A white bat is first shown, having a black hole through its centre. A small red-colored silk is slowly pushed through the hole from the bottom. The performer continues to push it halfway through the hole and displays the white bat on both sides, with the red silk going right through.

He then rubs the red silk on the white bat, and the bat instantly changes to red. The bat is now seen as red on both sides.

The projecting silk is now whipped out of the hole, and the red bat instantly transforms to white. It is again shown on both sides to be white, with the hole down the middle.

Ian Adair was the undisputed master of Paddle effects. with two complete books on the subject, several dozens of ideas in books and magazines, and dozens of off-beat marketed effects. This is one of his finest, and latest Paddle effects. While the working of this one will be obvious to magicians familiar with Paddle effects, it is a visual stunner, and very effective in performance for the lay audience. The artifice of showing the other side of the paddle to show the silk “goes right through the hole” makes for a strong impression that both sides of the paddle have been shown to be of the same color, as well as the instant transformation when the silk is whipped out of the hole.

We supply the special paddle, which has a hole running through its centre and the small red colored silk with complete instructions (including those for performing the Paddle Move, for absolute newcomers) at a very low pocket–friendly price for an eye-catching and off-beat pocket effect.
