"Part Magic" did a good job in the time alloted.
Excellent motivation for youngsters to buy the candy in 1938.

Send in 2 Whiz wrappers and 6 cents (in coins or STAMPS!) and get a book about party stunts. They are NOT 'bars' but rather like chocholated hamburger patties. It'd be interesting to try one...
The announcer is the same one from the Dreft 'Film Mystery'.

This screen ad shows a boy performing a magic trick followed by what looks to be a sure "Whizz bang" of a party. As already noted "Whizbars" arn't really bars at all but look more like Rice Krispy square. The best thing about this ad is the fast talking narator who is most likely a basis for stereotyped anouncer voices today.

Don't magicians stand when they do magic tricks? Whats wrong with him? All those kids came to his party and he has to sit down to cut a straw, what a lame magician. I looked for the magic book on Ebay, but no luck.

This ad, for the now-unfortunately-named "whiz" bar opens up with a kid doing a magic trick. The narrator chirps, "Say, That's slick!" and eggs the kid to find out how it's done, the kid refuses, but let's us know that we can get the "Famous" magic and party stunt book just by eating Whiz bars! They look suspiciously like rice crispie bars.. Watch for the model taking a gingerly nibble off of one and, of course, laughing. A MUST SEE on this site!

Subject: Method behind the straw and string trick featured in this ad.
As I'm sure Beich's Party and Magic Stunts booklet is out of print, here's the closely guarded secret behind the effect featured in this screen ad.
The straw is secretly prepared with a few inch slit cut longways into the middle of the straw. When the straw is bent, it is made certain that the slit is on the inside of the bend. Pulling down on the threads hanging out of the straw will pull the string through the slit and out of the peak of the bend. Clip off the peak, bring the two halves back up, and the string is magically restored.
