Resurrect a fly back to life

Resurrection of a dead fly.

This is an easy magic trick that require a little preparation.

The idea of this trick is to grab a passer by and pretend to find a dead fly (this fly will be planted by you.) You then take the fly in the palm of your hand and bring it back to life in front of their eyes.

How its done.

Firstly you need to catch a living fly, this is the hardest part of the trick. (honestly)
You then place the fly in a container and place the container into a freezer.
The freezer will cause the fly to become drowsy and appear dead and lifeless.
Now you need to work quickly.
Fetch the fly from the freezer and plant it somewhere you would expect to see a dead fly. This could be on the front of a car windscreen for example. Try and keep it shaded from sunlight.
Now quickly grab a passer by and tell him/her that you need to find a dead fly to perform this act. Conveniently find your planted fly (which should still be drowsy) and place it in the palm of your hand. With the other hand make some motion waves over the fly. The heat from your palm should cause the fly to come round from its state of comma and fly off, leaving the audience stunned.
This might seem like a little hassle to go to in the setup stage but the effect of your victim is definitely worth it.
