Jiggernaut

Jenest, Mark

(Based on 2 reviews)
Mark Jenest's Jiggernaut is a One Cup and Ball routine with a twist. It's 100 proof white lightning. In Mark's clever new cup and ball sobriety test, a cocktail olive repeatedly vanishes and reappears under a bartender's jigger. Mark then tops it off with the surprise production of not one, but two wine corks.

Because of the venues that I work in, I love effects that use organic items. This one is no exception.

I have been using this for years and it is a great way to put a cup & ball, chop cup or Benson Bowl-type effect into your act that still plays big but without the larger cups or bowls to haul around. I just have to point out for the purists that I have nothing against the others because I perform them too, but Jiggernaut is a nice stand-in and can even be impromptu in the right place.

It comes with everything you need (including a short DVD) and the instructions are very clear. Actually I was kind of intrigued for some reason at the layout of the written instructions. The instructions progress as you unfold the panel that they are written on, which makes them flow nicely and easy to follow along with the photos.

The DVD is quite short and only outlines the basic routine, but it is more than enough. The video and sound are crisp and clear and Mark does a great job of teaching.

I use this in restaurants, bars and hospitality suites where suitable props (grapes, cherries, olives, etc.) are available. Pick this one up - it may be old but it is great and you will not be disappointed!

This is a great magic effect that gets big laughs at the end. I've been performing this for several years at the bar that hires me to entertain. It's perfect for the bar magician. The props are easily obtained and the "cup and ball" routine is easy to do, but you'll need to wear a sport coat or loose fitting pants (with easy access pockets) to work this routine smoothly.
This routine plays big and never ceases to get laughs or looks of sheer amazement.
I learned this one from a video Mark made several years ago and bought or found everything I needed very easily.
Get this. You won't be disappointed.
