Tom Palmer first developed this routine in 1959 for his daughter to perform at a youth magic competition in Texas. Although he based it on his memories of a presentation of George Tollerton's famous Performing Fleas he had seen on TV, it is completely different and includes several clever, easy-to-make, table-top props that bring the actions of the imaginary insects to life. However, this is just the icing on the cake as the real comedy ensues from Palmer's hilarious script and the performer's ability to "mug" the actions as each miniature member of the circus troupe entertains the audience with its very special talents. If you're looking for 10+ minutes of pure laughs, don't miss this ready-to-use act written by one of the funniest comedy magicians of all time, Tom Palmer. Illustrated, 11 pages, re-typeset.
