Bar Crab Trick

Effect: A small, covered creature runs across the bar. Some people will jump back with a scream and others will giggle but everyone will get a kick out of it.

You’ll need

1 Lemon
1 Bar Napkin

Roll up the corners of the napkin as in figure 1.
Place the lemon under the napkin when no one is looking.
Put it on the bar and give it a push and yell BAR CRAB!!

The Lemon will wobble and roll across the bar but the napkin will stay over it.

It really looks as if there is a living creature caught under the napkin.

I’ve had people believing I had caught a mouse. Whenever the lemon would stop rolling I would poke it with my index finger to get it going again but it looked as if I had startled the resting mouse. One girl was heading for the door screaming before I showed her the lemon.
