Three Little Pigs by Jam Magic, Edwin Hooper

This effect was created by Edwin Hooper (founder of Supreme Magic) c. 1953. When it was first introduced it was built by and released through Jack Hughes and then c. 1966 by Supreme Magic Company itself.

A new version of this effect was recently released by Jam Stone magic here.

Effect: Are you looking for action, participation, story-telling and sparkling magic? This trick has the lot and they have spared no expense to bring you a really fabulously produced trick. There are three book covers in deep red, handsomely embossed in silver, showing the three little pigs. Then there are beautifully screen silk cards in full color. For the big bad wolf there are a pair of ears.

Four children assist you in the story telling. First of all there are three little pigs , and each is given a folder to hold. Then there is the big bad wolf (boo) The story of the three little pigs is told: How each pig built a house, one of straw, one of sticks and one of bricks (wise piggy!). Each of the folders are opened to show a holder with the front cut out front, and, from each holder the appropriate card is taken. The big bad wolf came along and threatened to huff and puff and blow the houses down but the three little pigs each turned there back to him (the cards are replaced with the holders back out) Along came the big bad wolf who huffs and puffs as he tries to blow the house down (and you can imagine the fun you will have here)

The house of straw is blown down, and when the picture is removed, it has changes completely for there is the straw blowing in the wind.! Run Piggy! He runs to the house of sticks, but it is not long before the house of sticks I scattered as well! They run to the house of bricks, but the big bad wolf follows and tries to blow down the house. Failing this, He tries to crawl down the chimney, But the three little pigs are waiting for him with a cauldron of boiling water!

All elements of great entertainment are here. Children adore stories, and here is one enacted before them with color, action and mystery! Real mystery because the pictures seem to change magically! This trick is a classic.
