A LUMP OF CLAY COMES TO LIFE!

You bring out a small gift bag and pull out a standard container of kid’s clay. You peel off the lid, pull out a lump of clay and let your audience freely squish, pull and play with it. You then help the audience mold the clay into a little man (or woman!) The only reason you help is to insure that his little proportions are correct.

YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS EMPTY. THERE’S NOTHING INSIDE THE CLAY!

A spectator then takes a final bit of clay and shapes it into a tiny clay heart. She warms the heart in her hands… and for a moment… she THINKS SHE MIGHT feel a tiny heart beat. She gently sticks the tiny clay heart onto Little Man’s chest. You then stand the little guy on the flattened empty bag. Someone gently blows on his heart. Then a moment later…unbelievably… Little Man takes his first step!

YES, HE’S MOVING FORWARD AND ACTUALLY WALKING… ONE ASTONISHING STEP AT A TIME!

This is where you have to see the on-line demo to experience the devastating wonderfulness of it all. His entire clay body VISIBLY TURNS AND LURCHES FORWARD with each dramatic step. And not that you’d want to, but you could leave the room, go out for a burger, and Little Man would keep on walking! And after about 6 or 7 steps, when Little Man finally stops, anyone can immediately SQUISH HIM INTO A BALL OR TEAR HIM APART… AND THERE’S NOTHING TO FIND BUT A LUMP OF CLAY!
