Magic Tricks Revealed: The Voodoo Chicken Head Trick
If you like the idea of doing up close and shocking magic that they will never forget, this article is for you. This horrifying trick never fails to make the ladies scream, and the men whimper, and the magician talked about for years. Read on if you want to become famous.
Here's how it looks to your unsuspecting audience, who will soon be wondering if you recently escaped from the mental hospital. You tell them you have suddenly acquired special voodoo powers from an ancient priestess you happened across in a bar recently. Or you had a visitor from beyond that bestowed you with magical voodoo powers. You then produce a chicken. (Yes a real, life chicken.) You hold the chicken to the crowd, and let them check that it's a real chicken and not a fake one.
You then describe in detail how your magic voodoo powers allow you to rip the head off this poor chicken, and re-attach it. Naturally, they will think you have gone insane. A few may even be on their cell phones to the police, so you'd better hurry. While you are describing the history of voodoo, and how it gives you magical power over animals, you rip off the chickens head. You present the specimen to the terrified crowd, perhaps laughing as you do so, and then quickly hook it back up to the poor bird, and release the chicken. (Hopefully before the cops show up.)
Here's the trick. Of course, in order to do this, you need a gag chicken head. You get these from hobby shops, or anyplace on the Internet. While you are telling the audience of your magical voodoo powers, grab the chickens head. Naturally, they won't be watching too closely, and will most likely be ready to turn their heads in disgust should you be crazy enough to really pull off a chicken's head.
As they prepare to turn away in utter terror, simply tuck the chicken's head under it's wing. If you hold the chicken under your left arm, you can keep the fake chicken head in your breast pocket. People won't be looking nearly close enough to see you pull this off. Then when you tuck the chickens head under the wing, pull out the fake chicken head, and quickly thrust it in the face of a few audience members. Do this only for a couple of seconds. Then reach back, put the fake head in your breast pocket, and pull the chickens had out from under it's wing. If you want you can toss the chicken at the audience, further scaring into insanity.
After the trick is over, you can return the chicken to its owner (if you borrowed it from a member of the audience) or simply let it go, or give it to your assistant. Just act like pulling off a chickens' head and replacing it is an everyday thing for a voodoo master like yourself. Then simply go on your merry way, whistling your favorite Broadway show tune.
