This is a true classic trick. It's been around for years which proves how good it is, the Children love it. Very easy to do no sleights needed. The noisy crank, the mismade socks etc produces laugh after laugh. If you are looking for mind blowing magic forget it, but if you looking for real good solid entertainment which all proper children's entertainers look for, than this is for you! I've been doing it for over 20 years and everytime I try and take it out of the show the Kids moan at me! Need I say More.

This routine is so good, I use it all the time in my own kidshow. Show a pair of socks which are clearly in need of washing. Explain that you will wash them with the aid of your Chinese Washing Machine and a young friend from the audience. Needless to say, before the socks are cleaned, there's tremendous comedy as the socks keep changing. They get chopped up, they shrink into a pair of tiny socks, they blend into one giant red and white sock, they go crazy. And so will the kids with this laugh provoking routine, all built around this big beautiful prop - a Chinese Washing Machine built out of wood, with a noisy crank on top and gimmicks inside to do all the magic. For a finish you can produce candy for all the kids. (Just make sure to get out before the sugar rush kicks in.) Ideal for the kid show performer.
