The idea for Fumble Filtered comes from a remark made by Mike Ammar. He never realized that his casual remark would lead to such an incredible version of the classic Torn and Restored Cigarette effect. The audience sees the performer tear a cigarette into two pieces and then, in a moment of confusion, restore the cigarette with the filter in the middle. The restoration with the filter in the middle lends novelty, humor and entertainment value to the routine. The performer then realizes his mistake, re-breaks the cigarette and re-restores it correctly.
The cigarette can then be examined. It is ordinary in every way. Item 302 is a fun idea that lends itself to many engaging presentational approaches. We supply you with a complete routine but you'll adapt it to your own personality. Magic and fun combine to make this a must for the bar and restaurant worker.
