The Educated Duck is a mechanical wooden duck, which picks out selected cards from a shuffled deck, placed in its feed box. This is an excellent comedy prop, and to enhance the entertainment the duck can be blindfolded. This is one of those perennial audience pleasers that any platform worker should have, know, and love. With a little imagination this routine can be played to maximum effect with some performers still making it the mainstay of their act. This is great fun for adult audiences, and loved by younger spectators.
