Adam’s Pea Trick

This well made trick in brass is really a catch – mystifying, amusing and saucy. The performer shows a natural coloured pea and three coloured ones. The performer turns round and one pea is chosen and dropped into the tube while it is held behind the performer’s back. No matter which colour is chosen, it is always the ‘natural’ pea that trickles out from the tube. Supplied by Davenports with instructions in a smart box.
