Peanut Butter and Jelly Trick by Timothy Wenk, Metempirical Magic
(c. 1986) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Effect: On one side ot the stage (or living room) is a jar ot Peanut Butter, on the other side is a jar ot Jelly. Each jar is covered with its own black tube. After some sucker byplay the Magician (that’s you) places two slices ot ordinary, real bread into an ordinary brown paper bag. A child volunteer helps out, holds the paper bag, and stands between the two jars. At your command, the Peanut Butter and Jelly jars magically switch places! As further proof of their invisible flight across the stage, the Peanut Butter and Jelly have left some evidence behind: The child removes the slices of bread from the paper bag and instead discovers a real, delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich (his or hers to keep)!
Here’s what you get. You receive two gimmicked peanut butter jars. These jars look exactly like real jars because they are real jars! Don’t worry, they’re not glass, they’re built tough to withstand real use. You also get two of our exclusive black tubes. They will never chip, are practically indestructible, and custom made to last a life time. Not only that, they make the trick even easier and they’re washable. Of course you also receive fully illustrated, easy to read instructions. It all adds up to top quality props you’ll be proud to own and use tor years to come.

This is a great effect, that I’ve been using in my magic shows for younger children for years! It’s well built and can get great reactions depending on how you routine the effect.
A very simple effect with a peanut butter jar and a jelly jar that changes places underneath a couple of black covers. The covers are strong, flexible, and after using my set for years seem to show no sign of wear. the peanut butter jars look great and they look like glass jars thanks to the perspex, they are plastic though and very solid. You must supply your own jelly jars. I went with glass jars so I have to be careful, but if you are rough with your props you may want to find some nice plastic jars of jam.
Two challenges with this effect. First off, it’s a piece that requires a good routine to get a good reaction. I’ve seen a standing ovation for this effect ( really, no kidding! ) and I’ve seen this done terribly More often then not it gets a good reaction, but please give it some thought, throw away the included routine and create a good original routine and you’ll be surprised how well you can do. The second point, and it could almost be seen as funny. a few times it’s been mentioned to me and once a lady came running up to me in the middle of my show concerned because a child in the audience had peanut allergies. We know the peanut butter jars are props, but our audiences don’t and it could cause problems if the children are close up. Before every show like that I always mention to the staff that the pb jars are fake.
