I have always been a fan of awful puns and sight gags. I think most magicians have been. We just received a great sight gag from Meir Yedid. It's called the B.S. Board.
Basically, the magician pulls out a sheet of paper and reads aloud "Being an entertainer is a unique opportunity which lets me bring joy into your lives…" Once finished reading the sentiment, the magi then folds the B.S. Board and says, "And I mean that sincerely," the spectators will slowly begin to notice what the first letter of every line now spells ( it says bulls--- ), which will cause hysterical laughter. Yes, it's PG-13 humor, but when done for the right crowd, will KILL!
Oh, and FUN Incorporated also manufactures the SNARF silk. The magician produces a 24" square silk handkerchief at the conclusion of a trick. On it, in big, bold letters, are printed the words "Thank You." Or are they? No matter which way the magician turns the silk, the Thank You message never reads quite right. Great situation comedy with the laughs built right in. Packs super flat and plays mega big.
I'm also a big fan of Mike Mode's NUN ( none ) trick. A coin is taken out of the magician's hand as he asks, "What's one minus one?" "None!" the spectator answers. The magician's hand is opened and a nun is discovered there in. Yes, it's a horrendous pun. However, it's totally worth it!
