Thomas Moore Creative and Magicbox Present:

Francis The Uneducated Duck by Joe Francis

It has taken 5 months to create this batch of 25 ducks, each one signed and numbered.

The worlds FIRST remote "Dippy Duck" takes a classic short comedy routine and turns it into a multi-phase sequence of comedy moments and ends with an impossible magic effect. This is not just another card duck. Its a card duck for the modern performer. Its been painstakingly designed and built from the ground up By Thomas Moore.

A hands off remote card duck, but can do SO MUCH MORE; Brining out a wooden transport crate covered in warning stickers you mention that it contains a ferocious wild animal, as you talk the crate starts shaking and rocking as the beast inside thrashes around. After some byplay you open the crate to reveal..... a retro wooden toy duck.

Placing him on the table you begin to point out his features (the exquisit curved neck, the refined wooden plynth, the curvacious card houlette) the static prop suddenly comes to life and attacks your finger.  Once you have recovered you produce a deck of playing cards and have one freely selected and signed by a spectator which is returned to the deck and the whole deck placed in the houlette. You explain that in a moment Francis will dive forwards and pluck the signed card from the deck; as you are describing what is about to happen behind your back the duck slowly creeps down to take a closer look at the cards but jumps back just as you turn around to look at him - something which the audience won't hesitate to tell you about. After admonishing Francis you further hype up his incredible abilities and on your command he dives forwards and begins randomly pulling multiple cards out of the deck and tossing them aside.... "I didn't say he'd find the card first time!" you admonish him again and he bows his head and lets out a soulful "Quacccck"

After some more byplay (including fitting him with a blindfold so he can't peek at the cards) you give him one last chance and he dives forwards once again and slickly plucks a single card from the pack... it is of course the spectators signed selected card. A genuine miracle amidst all the chaos and comedy that will leave your audience baffled and as they applaud Francis even takes a bow!

All this movement takes place when you're not touching the duck - a complete hands-off performance.

Includes TWO remotes

A four button remote control programmed with the animated sequences and an alternative slider remote to activate the movement as you want.

• Carry crate, used to transport the prop AND can be used in performance
• Ability to make box shake via remote
• Sound chip allowing up to 12 seconds of sound
• Four button remote, pre programmed with separate functions
• Slider remote to move the head to your input
• Animal stickers to "dress" the crate as you like

REMOTE BUTTONS:

Single card pick - (like original) Duck reaches down and produces spectators card

Chaos! - Duck goes mad! Picking up one card after another and throwing them away! This button also activates the box rocking feature when cased up

Hesitant - Duck slowly creeps down then snaps back. Maybe when you are not looking!

Sound - Duck will quack (or whatever sound you pre-record on sound chip) when button pressed. Maybe answering your questions or maybe your duck self identifies as a lion?
