Hi, I'm Ian Stewart, and the record I'm attempting
0:02
is most magic stage tricks done in three minutes. The first trick is the silk head
0:08
the fly's off. Second one, the vanishing flower bush and pot. That particular prop is an antique
0:15
that I managed to get from an estate sale. Necklace appears on the form there
0:24
This is the appearing flowers on a bush. The dove pan, very special to me that that's in this record because that pan was given to
0:34
me by my parents when I was 12 years old. The genie tube, classic of magic
0:44
Change bag, another all time classic. It's in, it's in the name of the flowers
0:49
IS the arm chopper, I love that thing. That's the carrot in half, but not the iron
0:57
Light bulb breaks even though it's in that container. The crystal casket, juggling balls appear in it
1:05
Now you can see here, I put the tray over there and the light bulb fell onto the floor
1:09
I did the trick properly. Perhaps the cleanup could have been a little better
1:13
Flower goes into the tube, turns into big flowers. Little mistake there
1:18
And that trick actually didn't count toward the finish. The glass changes into a bottle
1:25
The bottles multiply. The jug where the handkerchief changes color Another classic the crystal silk cylinder that changes into some multicolored bounce balls Fan of cards to a top hat Fun and it always gets a laugh from the crowd
1:44
My cane to flowers. Love it. Ah, can't get any more classic than the Lincoln Rings trick
1:52
I took a little long doing this trick in the record attempt because I felt I was doing pretty
1:56
good on time. Oh, the changing cards, you see the queen and the king switch places
2:05
Tip over box, I like this one. In the old days, of course, they used to use a real rabbit
2:10
I personally don't use real animals in my show. I used a little stuffed animal
2:15
Oh, the drawer box, nothing in it. And all of a sudden we got bananas in it because I didn't know what else to appear
2:20
That's called a dove tray. An empty bag that produces the crystal box out of it
2:28
This would get me a little bit of trouble because the box actually got stuck in the bag
2:31
It was starting to tear the bag. There it is. And then the doves to stuffed animal
2:41
Of course, it used to be done with real animals. The problem is I've run out of tricks
2:49
I did them all. So I just ate a banana all at the time
2:54
That was a vanishing banana but that didn't count. I got 22. I can definitely go a little bit faster and I think I can break this record again
