Classic Pom Pom Pole – Comedy Magic Favorite
This is one of those timeless magic effects that makes no logical sense — and that’s exactly why it’s such a crowd favorite! The Classic Pom Pom Pole has been performed by legendary magicians like Ali Bongo and remains a staple in comedy and stage magic. Its combination of visual confusion, audience laughter, and endless surprises makes it a must-have piece for any performer’s act.
Effect Description
The magician displays a glittery rod with four colorful pompoms attached — two on long strings and two on short strings. The performer begins to demonstrate a mysterious connection between the pompoms:
- Pull the green pompom — the yellow pompom rises!
- Release it, and the yellow drops back down.
- Pull the red pompom on the opposite end — now the yellow moves again!
- Pull the blue pompom and the red rises — until every pompom seems magically linked to every other!
The audience watches in amazement and amusement as the magician repeats the sequence, each pull creating a new, impossible reaction. Finally, to “prove” there’s no secret connection, the magician breaks the rod in half, showing it to be hollow with no visible strings between the pompoms. The two halves are rejoined, and the impossible begins again — the pompoms are magically connected once more!
