The Trumpy Color Chan­ging Silk

After the elec­tions in the USA, we have a dif­fe­rent situa­tion coming. I don’t want to go into the poli­ti­cal debate, that is not my busi­ness as a Ger­man. But it is nice that this Mr. Trump is in the spot­light and so pro­mi­nent now, because that opens the doors for new (scary) presentations!

Here is one idea for the next year. Folks, get out your old dye-tubes and buy the neces­sary silks, and you can wow them away with a nice pat­ter idea.

Basi­cally, you will per­form the old color chan­ging silk, the clas­sic way, the sophisti­ca­ted way, or wha­te­ver. In emer­gency, per­form it the way you did for deca­des in the man­ner good old Joe Doeini showed you at the club in 1953 …

I found a little silk that was prin­ted as a dol­lar bill. Google it out and you will find a dea­ler that will hap­pily send these shelf-war­mers to you. Also look for a sil­ken small US-flag in your flag-pro­duc­tion (the flags on the strings). Remove that flag and you are ready to go.

Poke the bill silk into the dye-tube and show the flag. Now talk about the USA, the great coun­try it is (was?), bla­bla­bla. Then talk about what now with the new pre­si­dent might hap­pen … and start to poke the silk into the fist, pul­ling out the dol­lar silk, like in the clas­si­cal color chan­ging silk routine.

Steal the tube and show the dol­lar bill silk. The USA, that nation, piece by piece has chan­ged into a »dol­lar bill nation«, because of the bil­lionaire lea­der it has now. But where is that nation now? Shrug your should­ers, look up into the hea­ven and with a ges­ture say: »Who knows …« (ther­eby ope­ning the hand and show­ing it empty as in the usual color chan­ging silk routines).

Don’t go into the sucker expl­ana­tion … or do so and make some really sharp and sophisti­ca­ted punch lines, but wit­hout insul­ting anybody.

There you have it – an up-to-date and topi­cally cor­rect pre­sen­ta­tion of that age old trick: chan­ging a nation into $$$ 😉
