So I based this on influences from other skits. Shrinking machine, and an unnamed bug one that my daughter and her friend participated in – but i’ve never seen (only their vague description.
Sorry the video isn’t the best (I didn’t have the original so this is downloaded from social media).
Text for skit:
Adult Wizard Part:
Adult Scout – Hello Wizard What do you have there?
Wizard – A container of Bugs
Adult Scout – I don’t see any bugs
Wizard – Because you are too big.
Adult Scout – well, I am not getting any smaller
Wizard – I can help with that. I have a Shrinking Potion
<hands small potion to Adult Scout who shows it to the crowd>
Wizard to the Crowd – We will need Some help with this from the crowd.. .and bonus, the crowd will shrink down too!
<Points to left side >– when I say go – this half the audience will close your eyes and softly chant “ONE shrink the living” ““TWO shrink the living” all the way to 10 times.
<Points to the right side> – when I say go – this half the audience will close your eyes and softly chant “ONE shrink the rest” “TWO shrink the rest” all the way to 10 times…
And when you open your eyes we will all be inside the bottle and see the bugs!
Adult Scout Part:
