Scissors like these shears have not been available for years. Once again available they allow the performer to use the shears like normal scissors and yet they refuse to work whenever the spectator tries them. First the spectator cannot get the blades of the scissors open while they work perfectly normally for the performer. Later with the blades of the scissors ‘open’ the spectator cannot get them closed! Cleverly gimmicked so the performer can control them at all times, yet the gimmicked portion is hidden by the blades themselves.

This is an excellent gag prop, ideal for use with any rope cutting routine - like a Cut and Restored Rope, ribbon, silk or newspaper - or any other routine involving a regular pair of tailoring scissors.  It will cut like any scissors, yet it will also lock in either the closed or open positions.  Gimmicked in an ingenious and natural manner, with the result that the locking arrangement is not apparent, even on a close inspection.  In the hands of a reasonably competent performer, the scissors can spell several minutes of solid comedy entertainment with a volunteer spectator.  Bright silver plated pair of scissors.  Supplied complete and ready to use, with instructions and presentation ideas.

For example, when you hand the closed scissors to a spectator, they cannot open them.  You open them for him, while teaching him how to use a pair of scissors, and give them over again.  Now he cannot close them.  Repeat this as often as many times as you like, cutting your rope shorter and shorter while the audience laughs.   

Get a pair while they are available. We have Very Few Left!
