A classic comedy prop! The magician can fan himself, but whenever a spectator tries, the fan breaks apart!
Basic Effect: Magician opens a colorful fan and asks a spectator to help by holding it. Much to their surprise it falls apart! This is a great prop to use in kids shows. Property presented it gets lots of laughs. Ideally the magician will make the joke be on himself or herself and not the child that you hand the fan too. This technique actually makes the fan bit funnier.
