FROM THE MANUFACTURER’S ORIGINAL ADVERTISEMENT:
A dwarf is seen proudly sitting on top of his castle when a fierce looking 40 cm high giant makes his appearance. The giant not only says that he is about to take possession of the castle, but he is also going to eat the dwarf for dinner! Upon hearing this, the dwarf suddenly grows to a height of 56 cm and comes out to meet the giant, who, trembling with fear, dodges the giant dwarf and runs into the castle to hide. However, the magic castle causes the giant to SHRINK! As the climax, the giant becomes even smaller than the dwarf was in the first place.

The castle is shown empty before each transformation. The perfect children show entertainer’s trick! A showy and colorful effect designed in the fairy tale tradition. A superb trick with a great plot that can be appreciated by children of all ages and is incredibly easy to perform. Comes with original instructions.
