Voodoo - Albert Spackman - (UK Exlusive)

I am very proud to have been given permission to reproduce this fabulous classic effect.

" I love the new subtleties you have added.....The best made version on the market!"- ALBERT SPACKMAN! High praise from the inventor himself

Whilst warning about the dangers of "Voodoo" the spectator is shown a card that bears the effigy of a man that is to represent the "victim", this is placed to one side and remains untouched... Meanwhile several other cards also with the effigy of a man on them are shown, each has a cross on a different part of the body. The spectator shuffles the cards and is asked to choose one in the fairest manner possible. The chosen card reveals the fate that is to befall the victim. the card is revealed... There is an "X" on the foot... when the victim card is turned over ITS FOOT IS NOW MISSING!

Now made in laminated cards. Perfect for halloween! One of my personal favorites.

How about following this with the Okito Voodoo Doll

C2C - Signed Coin in Signed Card

On the table is a deck of cards, a coin, a pen and a knife. The magician asks one of his spectators to select one of the cards and to sign its face. The card is then replaced back into the deck which is then shuffled and put onto the table. Now the magician picks up the coin and allows the spectator to sign it, while he explains that he will not find the card but the coin will. He picks up the deck and taps the coin on top of the deck. It’s gone! The magician goes through the deck and finds the card, however there is no sign of the coin whatsoever. That is, until the magician picks up the knife and slices across the front of the card which reveals the coin in between the three layers of card and yes - it’s the signed coin! Finally the card is torn in half to prove that there are no extra coins.

Impossible? Not any more! John-Webb Carter teaches you his technique in detail. With photo illustrated instructions C2C is easy to perform and so strong for audiences that we are sure you will be using it as the closer in your close-up card or coin act!

Safety Hole - Menny Lindenfeld

If you thought Menny Lindenfeld’s hole obsession was over, you were wrong. If you hoped it wasn’t, you’re in luck. If you liked Hollow and if you like credit cards, you WILL LOVE THIS!! A new portable-hole effect that will keep your credit safe and your banker happy!

You pull your credit card out of the wallet. You show to the audience both sides, but more importantly, the hole punched through on the magnetic stripe. A HOLE? But of course. You explain how you punched it yourself for security reasons. If your card ever gets stolen, the unlucky thief will discover some of the magnetic data is missing so the card is of no use.

Now it's time to show them what you do when it’s YOU who wants to use the card; simply grab the hole with your fingertips, and PHYSICALLY SLIDE it out of the way, nice and easy, and move it to another location.

And when you want it secure again? Demonstrate your solution – you just SHAKE the card and the hole LEAPS back to the magnetic stripe.

But being the paranoid type, sometimes you feel like even that’s not good enough. In these cases there's only one thing to do; you give the card another good shake and the single hole duplicates to THREE, all sitting safely on the magnetic stripe. Now THAT really makes you feel... SECURE.

You conclude by letting the audience examine your theft-proof card.

Highly visual effect. Simple set-up. Real holes! Card can be shown from both sides prior to and after performance. Instantly examinable.

Archangel

From The Enchantment, the creator of the highly successful Dreamweaver, comes another Anytime, Anywhere, multi-phase routine that is destine to be a classic.

3 Keys, One Door - A member of the audience becomes faced with a difficult decision when she must choose between three keys. With a completely free choice, her decision proves to be the very key the performer predicted days before the routine began/

Arching Key - Under test conditions, an ordinary key is signed/initialed by an audience member. This marked key is then held by the spectator and performer at each end of the key. Without any moves, the key begins to melt and bend in their hands. The signed key is then released and left in the spectator’s hand clearly bent down the middle. There has never been a key bend as pure and straightforward as this…while held by the spectator no less.

Angel Flight - In a blink of the eye, the signed bent key completely vanishes only to be found hanging on the keyring of the performer’s keychain. The key is 100% on the keychain and is removed by the spectator!

Requires you to supply your own keys, as after each performance you will be giving away a truly memorable souvenir in an impossible condition. Included in the book is a surplus of extra advice and additional performances.

Drop Out

A small 'bottle' is shown along with a steel ball. The ball is dropped into the small well in the side of the bottle and then the bottle is turned over, yet the ball will not fall out. The performer shakes the bottle but to no avail. Finally he commands it to drop out and it does so. The spectator can try until his hair turns grey, but he will never get the ball to stay in the bottle. Available in plastic where you get two 'bottles'. Great fun item, you'll get a lot of pints out of this one!

Price: £3.50

Originally put out by Jerry Andrus this effect has been absent from the market for far too long. one of the all-time classics of magic, the Linking Pins has long been a favourite of close up performers. The effect could not be more direct. The impact on your audience could not be stronger. Start with two safety pins. In a blink, they are solidly linked together. Just as quickly, they are unlinked ! Do it with two pins. Do it with three pins. Do it fast. Do it slow. Do it right under their noses! It looks like the pins are just melting through one another. This ones gets audible gasps, you'll love it !

This wallet has become the standard wallet in today's magic world. Looks like an inconspicuous leather credit card wallet. Yet you can switch, change, vanish, produce or predict even a NO palming card to wallet . The uses are endless. A great utility prop with many uses. This wallet unlike most Himber wallets utilises a Z fold so looks more natural. In fact I know many who use it as their real wallet. Also an unusual feature is that anything placed in the back pocket on one side can be removed from the other side. Now comes with booklet of routines including: A NO palming card in wallet routine and an ungimicked version of a Koran 101 prediction deck. A killer routine worth its weight in gold, not be missed.

My highest recommendations. A must for every magician. Made of fine quality REAL leather. Add a Koran 101 deck and you have one of the most incredible predictions EVER.

Imagine a spectator deals a deck of cards FACE UP on the table and stops when ever they wish NO FORCE WHATSOEVER. And the card they stopped on matches the prediction in your wallet… WOW! 101 deck only

Two keys are shown in your open hand one brass one silver. A spectator names one (brass); the other (silver) is put away. Close your hand around the brass key for a moment. When you open your hand the key is bent at a 45 degree angle. This is HELLBENT!

A solid ring is locked over the shaft of a large metal key. You ask the spectators to remove the ring from the key without, of course, cutting or breaking the key or the ring. They are of course unable to do so.

What more could you ask for? Misled was created by FISM award-winning inventor Timothy Wenk and performed exactly as described in this booklet by David Copperfield on international television!

A $100 bill and (possibly if you happen to be working in an office!!!) a pencil are borrowed from a member of the audience. The borrowed bill may be marked for later identification if desired.You proceed to use the pencil to pierce a hole in the center of the bill-there's no doubt that the pencil is truly through the bill. Watch the audience gasp (especially the bill's owner) at what happens next...you rip the pencil through the bill-the audience clearly sees the pencil rip through and they can hear the sound of paper ripping! Yet, somehow the bill is left completely unharmed!You offer to repeat the effect, this time the pencil mysteriously melts through the bill in slow motion-it looks unbelievable! Both the pencil and the bill may then be handed out for complete examination. Comes with very special gimmick, pencil and detailed instruction booklet.

Imagine a piece of magic so incredible, so visually stunning, that it looks like trick photography...but it's happening live, inches from your face! A borrowed bill of any denomination is clearly and openly folded around a pencil. The bill is shown front and back to completely enwrap the pencil. With no moves, nothing added or taken away, almost instantly the pencil visually penetrates through the bill! The bill is once again wrapped around the pencil, but this time the pencil slowly... very slowly... melts... through... the bill! You will enjoy performing this effect as much as your audience will be delighted watching it. With how incredibly easy "Just Passin' Thru" is to do coupled with the fact that all you need to carry is a pencil, this effect just might soon become one of your perennial favorites.

In addition, we have included Lonnie Chevrie's "Finger Thru Bill"... an amazingly visual, impromptu feat of magic that you will put to use immediately as the perfect follow-up to "Just Passin' Thru" or for those times when you don't have a pencil. Comes complete with detailed, step-by-step and thoroughly illustrated instruction booklet which guides you through every nuance in an almost frame-by-frame manner. Also included is a bonus DVD which contains performances of "Just Passin' Thru" and "Finger Thru Bill" by their creators as well as a detailed explanation for "Just Passin' Thru" for those of you who learn better visually.

"Just Passin' Thru is one of the best thrills I've seen in a long time. The bonus finger effect is balls-to the-wall wonderful." - Paul Harris

"Just Passin' Thru is remarkably easy to do, with simply stunning results. At first I thought "This is very good". Then after seeing the slow-motion phase I said out loud to my DVD "That looks GREAT!" The packaging is more than outstanding. It's absurd that you get all of this for the price. a true bargain. Just Passin' Thru looks great, it's easy to do, with no palming or ditching. You can learn to do it in minutes. The audience is more amazed when you repeat it. How many tricks can you say that about? Frankly, the finger through the bill bonus is worth the cost of admission." - Kenton Knepper

"When I first saw the pencil 'Just Passin Thru' the dollar bill, I knew what it was like to be a layman again. Wow!" - Gregory Wilson

"This is what every magic-buying consumer is looking for: The combination of a new toy and a visually startling effect that takes old ideas in a fresh direction. It is the prop/effect/method you can't keep your hands off-of and you'll enjoy practicing with it almost as much as you'll enjoy performing the effect for actual spectators. The illustrations, printed instructions and DVD video instruction is a remarkable value for the price." - Michael Weber

The School for Scoundrels Perfect Pea is made of an injection-molded polymer and are perfectly smooth and uniform. They are a bright green color (like a fresh pea). This color shows up well against almost any mat or performing surface. They are washable and never lose their grip. They will work fine on any type of surface--even glass or marble. These are regarded by most professionals (including Bob Sheets, Lennart Green, Rich Marotta, and Johnny Thompson) as the best peas ever made available for the shell game. Working Peas are used in the performance of the steal and pinch and other moves, Straight Peas are made of hard plastic and will not come out from under the shell--these are switched in or out in order for the spectators to examine them or handle the shells. Set includes five Working Peas and two Straight Peas.

A Totally New Approach To Real World Magic! Just as you approach your audience, you realize you're chewing gum. As you apologize for the "social faux pas," you remove the gum from your mouth and search in vain for a place to put it. Since nothing is handy, you'll have to resort to magic. With a wave, the gum visibly transforms back into a brand-new dry stick of gum! Another magical pass and it's now completely wrapped! You can even give it out for inspection! This seems so real that the spectators never see the magic coming until it hits them between the eyes! Comes complete with detailed instructions and custom gimmick.Visible transformation. Simple to perform and instantly resets. Surprising and offbeat effect

The Magician borrows a bill from a spectator who signs it for later identification. He places the bill in an envelope and removes a cigarette box from his pocket. The spectator chooses any cigarette and their initials are written on it. The cigarette is also placed inside the envelope. The envelope is then set on fire, completely burning it and the enclosed bill and cigarette to ashes. The magician picks up the marker, removes its lid and shows that the signed cigarette has mysteriously appeared inside! He breaks the cigarette in half and shows that there is a rolled-up bill inside! The spectator himself removes the bill, unrolls it and finds his intials! Comes complete with marker, all the necessary gimmicks and detailed, fully-illustrated instructions.

Beautifully made in brass this is a lovely versatile prop that can used for changing or swapping items, the ideas are endless. But probably best known for the "PEA" routine... A cork is removed from a small brass can and out onto the table drops a yellow pea, a black-eye pea, a green pea and a black pea. The spectator is asked to select one of the peas. The performer asks "Would it be magic if the only thing that comes out is the pea you selected"? So, all of the peas are placed back into the can and sealed by the cork. The spectator begins to say out loud as instructed "I want my pea!" After the performer waves his or her hand over the can, the cork is removed and out into the spectator's hand is poured the "PEE" (warm water) No "PEAS" to be found! They have completely vanished! Just imagine the endless gags.... Dwarf Pee/split peas.... Oh I'll let you get the gag book out! Complete with "Peas" supply your own "Pee" or ???

A beautiful teak wood paddle with three small holes is displayed, and shown on both sides. As the performer passes his hand over the paddle, the holes magically enlarge completely on both sides. The performer then passes his hand over the paddle once again, and the holes change to an even bigger size.

Points to remember.
Only one paddle is used in this effect.
Collector's quality, each Ko Chang Paddle is individually numbered.
Dimensions Approximately 4" x 1" (10cm x 2.5cm)

You produce a fine mahogany hardwood rod and proceed to show it on both sides. The rod appears quite normal. Suddenly, a jewel appears embedded in the middle of the rod. It then magically travels from the middle to the end and back again, and finally splits into two jewels, both embedded in the rod. As quickly as they appeared, the jewels vanish without a trace.

Joe's take on the classic jumping stick paddle. It looks and plays like an all time classic with one difference - you end clean and everything may be examined! Precision craftsmanship and Porper ingenuity combine to make a real fooler.

A paddle is cleanly shown to have three yellow spots on both sides (NO paddle move) One spot is covered and changes to red (on both sides). Another then changes to blue and then the last turns white. Finally (you guessed it) the paddle is given out for examination.

Here's another new paddle--the GROWING SPOT PADDLE. You display a small paddle with small red, white and blue spots on both sides of the paddle. A wave of the paddle and the spots increase in size. One more wave of the paddle and the spot grow even more. On the final growth, the spots are shown to be the same on both sides and the paddle can be immediately handed out for examination.

The magician brings out his key chain, removes a single key and places it into a spectator's hand. He then removes the metal key tag from the chain and points out the hole running through it. He places the tag into the spectator's other hand and explains he's going to make "nothing" move from one location to another. The spectator taps her fists together and when she opens the hand with the key tag, the hole is now gone! Stranger still, when she opens her other hand she discovers that "nothing" really has moved-the key she's been holding the entire time now has two holes in it! Key is never switched. Your hands are completely empty at the end. Practically works itself. Very simple and very nice!

Not only do you bend the spoon right in front of the spectators eyes, but you can then hand the bent spoon out for examination!

Borrow a bill and have it signed. Plunge the pen right through the bill. Of course you then instantly restore the hole in the bill. Don't confuse this with any other version on the market. John Cornelius created a fabulous effect with his "Pen Thru Anything" which required a switch of pens. Then He made it even better with his "Perfect Pen". No switching and examinable but a little out of the reach of some magicians pockets... Then came a host of cheaper "Bic" type pens but most of them not that well made... Until now... This perfectly ordinary disposable style pen is beautifully made and looks completely natural. The simple act of removing or replacing the cap and the gimmick is gone... leaving just a simple ordinary pen... Yes it writes too. I have seen most "Pen Thro's" and in my opinion the only ones worth having were the originals from John Cornelius until this came along. Highly Recommended!

Borrow a bill from a spectator & they mark the bill. You stab the pen right through the bill! Move the pen and hole to a different spot on the bill.

Forget Everything You Know About The Laws of Nature. Imagine being able to bend a large solid nail to a curve of 90 degrees just by gazing at it! And then immediately hand it out for examination! Menny Lindenfeld's Carpenter's Nightmare is a highly visual and easy to perform effect that looks just impossible. Quick Set Up and Reset. Easy To Perform. No Switches - The nail stays visible throughout the entire performance. No Pulls Attached and No Sleeving. Instantly Examinable. Nice...

Perform visual vanishes like you've never seen. Since David Blaine used the Raven it has fast become one of the best sellers. You too can now perform all the famously visual Raven vanishes. Make coins appear, disappear, shrink or change to a different coin or an entirely different object! You immediately show you hands completely empty. NO funny moves or sleights. You can also achive many other effects with this wonderfull and versatile gimmick Perform in a coat, even a short sleeved shirt. As near to real magic as you can get !

"A great trick! Wow!" John Cornelius
"I was blown away!" Chuck Fayne
"Incredible!" Jon Racherbaumer

This is Danny's handing of the no thumb tip bill switch. It's the cleanest, most magical bill switch you ever saw (and one of the easiest). It's well explained with four pages of text and pictures. A classic of magic that should be in the performing repertoire of every magician.

During Joe's absence from the magic world, these

cups were highly prized by professional magicians and collectors alike. Available in stainless steel, copper, brass and cocobolo wood, each set comes with a precision crafted wand and a handsome presentation case.

These were the cups chosen to adorn the cover of the Vernon Chronicles and would be a beautiful item to display in your home or office. If you appreciate genuine quality, you need look no further than the Joe Porper cups: a wise investment for the serious magician.

Exactly the same but longer... This gives you a greater working distance between your anchor point and you! Available in orginal form or in the '2000' model which splits in half for repair

Perhaps the most incredible Invisible Thread to date. 5 times stronger than steel! This stuff is great under florescent lighting. Because of it’s strength it’s not only easy to strip, but you will be floating all sorts of things that were not possible before.

You will get 120 Strands of this incredible material. Included with the thread are detailed instructions on how to strip the thread.

Pre-split Invisible Elastic Thread, we are proud to offer to the finest Invisible Elastic Thread in the world.

This is what the pros are using! Solution dyed black (no fading possible with this thread), Matte finish (already dulled), incredible elasticity!

Approx 200ft of the very best pre-stripped black/matte finish invisible elastic thread.

A banknote is borrowed, £5 - £50 (Depending upon the standard of clientele you work for). After it is signed by the spectator, he is given the folded note to hold concealed with the folds of a handkerchief. He is also given a beautiful brass tube with a lid held on by a bar and padlock. Upon command the note disappears from the handkerchief. The spectator themselves opens up the tube and inside is, surprise, surprise, the previously signed and vanished note. Which of course in recognition of your great talent the spectator lets you keep…Needless to say the tube can be minutely examined. Beautifully made in brass with bar, padlock and routine, supply your own handkerchief.

You show a small white "Paddle" completely blank. Suddenly a spot appears on one side, then on both sides. You show a second paddle this already has a spot on it. You now make the spots jump from one paddle to the other, first only on one side then on both sides. The spots come and go at your command. The variations are limited to your own imagination. (My routine is very short…) This is one of the great classics.

This is the Original Floating Match Which comes complete with ready made gimmick and the "stuff" to make your own. Also complete very detailed instructions. Because of the subtle differences between this and the original you can do make the match float higher and even jump off the card. If you like the floating match this is a must!

You start by warning the spectator about the danger of smoking, and claim that you have come up with a solution. Now you show a cigarette, and pull out a little round container, which is the perfect size for fitting the cigarette into. The cigarette is slid into the tube, and the top is added. Now you shake the tube a little, and then you (or the spectator) removes the top, and tips out the cigarette, the cigarette has SHRUNK into a tiny, tiny cigarette...which is of course a perfect way to stop smoking ! Precision made gimmick. No skill! Self working! This trick is perfect for the pub !

The performer shows his hands empty then makes a grabbing motion in the air and turns his closed fist over to pour out a shot of water along with a real live gold fish! Or roll up a borrow note and pour out goldfish!

You can actually produce up to 3 live fish (depending on their size!) if you like. The gimmick is well made and ready when you are. Water tight.

A professional unit made for professionals by professionals. Gimmick is accessable at the edge of your coat; your hands never get wet.

A Banknote is placed on an identical size piece of paper then the two are folded in half. A pencil is then pushed through the centre. of them both. When unfolded the paper has a hole the banknote is of course is unharmed. You then instantly repeat it using a smaller piece of paper. There seems absolutely no way there could be any trickery you would swear the pencil passes through the note. you can see everything from all angles, but once again the paper is ruined the note still intact. Everything can be borrowed and it can be worked impromptu. You receive a well printed manuscript with detailed instructions and diagrams to take you through it step by step. So simple to do but an absolute killer effect…Now comes with bonus pencil thru bill routine a-la Timothy Wenks "Mislead".

Pencil Through Banknote (a version of 'Mislead'. Included with Bill Buster, above)

Although similar in effect, this is not to be confused with 'Pen through anything.' or the Bill Buster (above) In fact it gives you a different method and handling making it perfect to use as a substitute for the pen. You borrow a note and fold it almost in half. A pencil is then taken and inserted between the fold. Suddenly you push the pencil straight through the note and clearly show that it is penetrating the note. Now you rip the pencil out of the note which is immediately shown unharmed. It looks incredible and with a little handling is easy to do. Complete with full routine, pencil and special gimmick.

A Brass Nut is threaded onto a piece of cord. A spectator holds both ends of the cord and a handkerchief is placed over the nut. The magician reaches under the handkerchief and magically removes the nut. Everything is immediately handed out for examination, string, handkerchief and the nut (The brass nut that is, not the one doing the trick). Simple! Precision made magic.

Not so much a trick as a beautifully annoying puzzle box. You of course can open it but no one else can. What's more you can see right through it and still won't be able to see how it works. You can borrow a ring, note or other valuable and place it in the box then give it to the poor unsuspecting owner and tell him to take it out, (without breaking the box of course). Unless they know the secret they'll never open it.

A classic Porper effect just got better. Four yellow poker chips are displayed. You place the chips on the table and stack them, one atop the other, until all the chips are completely stacked. By simply waving your hands over the chips, the topmost poker chip is now seen as red in color! The chips are spread and now all are shown to be completely red! You now pick up one of the chips, and it instantly changes back to yellow! This is performed until all the poker chips have reverted back to their original color! Chips are shown on both sides! Precision made poker chips made by Joe Porper with a full routine by Magic Castle Close Up Magician of the Year Earl Nelson make this effect one of the most beautiful effects to perform! Includes a leather carrying case.

The magician displays six poker chips, three of which are red on both sides, and three of which are white on both sides. The chips are mixed red and white in each hand, but magically separate, so that all the red chips come together, and all the white chips come together. This is repeated a number of times, first using all six chips, and then four chips, to make the magic easier to follow. Finally you offer an explanation of how the magic happens, the red chips have the magical property of apparently penetrating the hand. A red and white chip is placed on top of the hand, and rubbed, and the red chip magically penetrates right through the hand. Looks like clever sleight of hand but is actually pretty much self working. What's more you can perform many other routines with the chips supplied.

You show two poker chips to be plain black on both sides. You explain these are the cheap ones the more expensive ones are different colours one each side. So saying you place them face to face when you take them apart they are now red and blue, you repeat this with the other sides and they turn green and yellow. Everything can now be left for the bewildered spectator to examine. Self contained & self working.

You show a white pen knife which you instantly change to a black knife -or- black knife to a white knife. Then make it disappear and reappear in your pocket. Now you explain you have 2 knives. You place one in your pocket and it changes places with the one in your hand. This and more can be repeated ad nauseam. Great opening trick for table hopping etc…Excuse me did you happen to drop a white penknife… No! How about a black one… No resetting. he routines possible with this VERY NICE set of 2 knives are of course limited to you imagination. A must in every magicians repertoire. Comes with 2 knives and complete insructions. In addition, these color changing knives are specially made so that only YOU, the magician can open it! Very CLEVER!

This key comes from a Haunted house. There still remains some essence of the poltergeist left in the key. To prove it you place it on your hand and slowly almost imperceptibly it starts to turn over. Very, very slowly it turns over completely. Your hand does not move at all, the spectator can even keep hold of your hand. Believe me this is oh so spooky, it really does turn over with out you doing anything. It frightens me and I know how it's done. (That probably makes it even worse). These keys are perfectly balanced, with routine and instructions on the proper technique for handling the Haunted Key. Frighten your friends while you still have some left to frighten…This will freak them out…Bizarre!

This destined to become a classic. Crafted from aluminium specifically for this effect, then anodised and engraved, this elegant prop produces a beautiful routine in which a variety of amazing, amusing visual effects take place - each more incredible than the last. best of all, the paddle can be handed out for examination at the routines conclusion! You start off with a paddle blank on both sides... then an arrow (engraved and highlighted) appears on one end. The arrow moved to the middle, then to the far end. It's shaken from spot to spot, then slid. It multiplies, and even jumps about on its own volition. In one wild sequence, the arrows on the paddle refuse to co-operate and apparently lead one another from place to place! Finally, and arrow is visibly split in two and the paddle is hanged out for examination. The Amazing Jumping Paddle is easy to do and produces not one moment of magic...or two...or three but a symphony of entertaining eyeball-poppers that will make this trick one you will carry with you - always.

Arachnophobia - The spider bites back - Malcolm Norton "M" & Matt hall "M" Junior

Asking a young lady to help, you show her five cards. Four cards depicting mirrors and one a spider, you weave a story around a spider that leaves cobwebs on all of the mirrors, then just disappears. Sure enough the mirrors suddenly become covered in cobwebs and the spider has vanished from his card… You ask the young lady to help make the spider reappear by waving her hand over the cards. Wait for the scream… Trust me there will be one. For there on the back of her hand is the spider. This is the ultimate reaction trick ! Laminated to last a lifetime. Included is a bonus routine for those that feel giving their audience a heart attack maybe going too far for the sake of entertainment… Based on "The Web" by Jim Pace.

Jardine Ellis Ring - 24K gold plate

An incredible penetration of a solid brass ring through a solid wand or cord held by a spectator. Viking's Ellis Ring is made in the traditional brass-ring styling BUT it is now plated in 24K gold! No more dull rings that need to be polished. The Ring is approx. 2.5" in diameter.

The performer slips the ring over the end of a solid wooden wand. The spectator now holds onto each end, yet the performer is able to remove the ring with little or no effort. The ring can be examined at any time and any wand may be used.

For another effect, the ring is placed over the thumb of a spectator which is then covered with a hank. The performer reaches underneath the hank and visibly removes the ring. Then the ring is vanished and when the hank is removed by the spectator, the ring is found back on the spectator's thumb!

Made in traditional Viking quality. Complete with various routines. Suitable for close-up and parlor work. Supplied in custom pouch.

Another of the classics of magic. Using a large solid steel curtain style ring you proceed to perform some breathtaking effects, close up and under their noses. It will penetrate onto a wand, the ends of which are held firmly by a spectator.

Alternatively you can create a visually stunning illusion of the ring penetrating a silk, or even a transposition. There's so much it can do! You get the special ring plus a complete booklet of excellent routines. Easy to do and very well made.

The magician asks the pain threshold of a spectator. He then declares that he would like to test that threshold and places a drop of "antiseptic liquid" on the spectators arm. The magician then pulls out a knife and slices the spectators arm. The spectator feels no pain, but their arm is bleeding! Before the spectator can muster up the fear to faint, the magician wipes the wound clean and reveals that no harm has been done to them! This 60 second gag will really get the adrenaline flowing!

Crazy Man's handcuffs may have had a run for the money. But now with Stargazer you can add another stunning phase to the routine. You stretch a rubber band into the shape of a star in your fingers (cat's cradle style). Gently pull on the rubber band - TWANG!!!! When you let go, the band PERMANENTLY stays in the shape of a star! You can hand the star band out or reuse it again. Comes with 10 rubber bands.

Get this while its still available...This gets outstandingly good reaction. Highly recomended

Two plastic discs, one opaque, one clear. Each are shown free from any writing are place to one side. Meanwhile a spectator is shown four cards, they are the four fives. After they have been thoroughly mixed, the spectator selects ANYONE of the cards...Then mysteriously the image of the selected card appears on the plates held in your hand. Very simple yet rather spooky.
