Effect: A single red-backed prediction card is placed face-down in full view of the audience. The spectator names any number between 1 and 52 (e.g.17). The performer hands him a blue backed deck and asks him to have a look through it to confirm that it is simply a regular deck of cards - the spectator confirms that it is. He is then instructed to deal down to the seventeenth card and place it next to the prediction. Without any moves or switches, the performer turns over both the selection and the prediction - they match!

Mike Rose's brilliant approach to the 'card at any number' plot satisfies the need for a worker's solution to this commercial effect. This is so clean and direct that it will go straight into your act!

Comes complete with U.S.P.C.C. printed gaffs and a full instructional DVD that make the learning of this effect effortless !

I have stripped away virtually all the sleight-of-hand from most of the routines and presented you with a collection of tried and tested 'workers' that are very strong in effect, but equally easy to perform. As I said of one of them, "If I can do it... you DEFINITELY can!" This, I believe, is true of them all.

Along the way Stephen Tucker, who wrote the book for me, has suggested some very clever additions, tips, and ideas, and even a complete routine.

I have been absolutely amazed that, after being quite the finger-flicker myself for many years, I have been able to retain the strength of each effect, but with the absolute minimum of dexterity being required to achieve it.

There are routines with business cards, playing cards, bottles and bottle caps and even one with a silk and a borrowed packet of cigarettes.

Finally, I'd like to thank Pat Page, Steve Beam and Stephen Tucker for permission to include their three routines, and YOU for at least reading this brief book description. I hope that you are now considering buying Special Effects.

At the next convention we both attend feel free to ask me to show you something from the collection, which I'll be more than happy to do.

GUESSTIMATION
You always know how many cards have been cut off. How? Guessing? Estimating? No... guesstimating!

CONTINUOUS DO AS I DO
Pat Page's superb routine with a regular deck of cards and a spectator.

POSSESSIONS
All you use are 12 of your business cards and a few borrowed objects for this amazing demonstration of the psychic.

INVISIBLE DECK
No deck of cards, and the very first time I've ever tipped the method!

LUCKY CARD
My version of Vernon’s classic routine ‘The Trick That Cannot Be Explained’

MARKED PHENOMENA
A brilliant routine from Steve Beam where you find the card they thought of and, incredibly, they find the card you thought of!

FIVE CARD REPEAT
My opening stand-up routine for more years than I care to remember.

This gimmick will produce a loud crushing sound as if you have cracked your (or someone's) neck.

Just walk up to someone with your neck tilted to one side and wait till they ask you if there is something wrong with your neck or you tell the person you are having a stiff neck today.

As you attempt to "adjust" your (or someone’s) neck the gimmick produces a bone crushing sound! You can pretend to crack your neck, elbow, and knuckles with this gimmick.

A good addition to use with the arm twisting illusion to crack your joints before or after the illusion.

Dobson has done it again!
The audience is shown 3 leather holders each containing a different colored envelope.
Explain that one of the envelopes contains a banknote and the other two contain nothing of value.
Ask two spectators to each freely select either the red, blue or yellow envelope. No force of any kind. Really.
After they check the contents of their envelopes and find only your business card, you reveal that the remaining envelope contains the banknote.
The effect comes complete with special leather holders, envelopes and detailed instructions.
A most modern handling of a magical classic!

In sorting thru the Rob Bromley draw I found these. Asking Rob to make more he said that they were now gone and forgotten as they cost much to manufacture... Soooooo Get these while they are here. These really are fun

An all time classic originally put out by KEN BROOKE. A great finish to a card routine. Having failed to find the chosen card you turn over the pack to show your final prediction which also turns out to be wrong you place the deck on the table and the spectator places their finger on the cards. You ask them to name their card and left their finger. As they do the card on the table unfolds into a JUMBO sized replica of their card. If KEN BROOKE sold it, it must be good. Go on, be entertaining for a change.

For over a decade, Paul Stockman has been extremely busy performing his unique and fascinating style of psychological entertainment all around the world. Appearing at almost two hundred events every year Paul is in constant demand and is a consummate and professional entertainer in every sense of the word. From intimate, high-end celebrity gatherings to full evening theatre shows for two and a half thousand people, Paul has performed in virtually all situations possible.

“Connected” is Paul Stockman’s DVD debut and showcases some of the finest modern mentalism in the world today, seamlessly blending deviously clever methods and engagingly entertaining plots this double DVD set is certain to become a must-see for all stand-up performers.

Shot in front of a live audience, the DVD opens with a full fifty-minute stand-up show that features some of Paul’s favourite routine and ends with a revelation that is destined to go straight into the act of so many performers immediately!

“Connected” is a clear example of how Paul Stockman has become one of the UK’s leading psychological entertainers and on this DVD, Paul shares with you his wealth of experience and knowledge that can only be gained over hundreds of performances as each section of the show is broken down and explained with the assistance of Peter Nardi.

“Connected” is not just a collection of effects, it is a professionally structured show that is taught in full detail from beginning to end and includes tips and advice on scripting a show, structuring routines and keeping it entertaining as well as captivating.

Routines performed & explained:

Pick a Chair
A direct and baffling chair routine that audiences love and establishes your abilities straight away. Four spectators are invited onto the stage and allowed to sit in any one of four chairs. After a number of free choices, the spectators discover that you have managed to influence exactly where they have sat.

Paul discusses the fundamental elements that make a chair routine such a popular feature for many mentalists, as well as the importance of keeping the effect clear and understandable for the audience.

Hands-Off Bank Night
This popular effect gets a dose of the Stockman treatment when Paul puts the entire effect into the hands of a spectator. Tried and tested over hundreds of corporate performances, the entertainment that derives from an executive standing to lose their cash make this a real crowd-pleaser.

The spectator hides the money in one of six envelopes and then makes all the decisions while you stand back, guilt free, as each envelope is eliminated and destroyed…will they avoid the money!

The Pendant Curse
A beautifully scripted routine revolving around a tale of four women, a murder and a sinister curse that captivates the audience with its intriguing mystery. This is a clear demonstration of the power of a strong narrative in mentalism routines.

With the emphasis on performance and deliverance an audience member managed to divine the identity of a murder victim. Specially designed PDF files to reproduce the required props, as seen in the live show, are included on the DVD.

Back to Becker
Larry Becker’s fabulous “Casino Royale” is a true classic of modern mentalism and is part of many leading performer’s repertoires. With Larry’s kind permission, Paul explains his variation of this brilliant routine that focuses on chance, influence and luck involving money, blackjack and some imaginary dice. This piece is a very good study of the fundamental principles of three-way prediction style of effect with tips learnt through countless performances of such routines.

Our special thanks to Larry Becker for allowing us to use and explain some of the brilliantly creative props and principles from his original, commercially available “Casino Royale” routine.

The Sweet Jar
Another example of the strength of attaching an engaging plot in order to amplify the effect and make a routine entertaining. This was one of the favourites with the audience during the filming of the live show.

A large jar of sweets that has been on show throughout and Paul invites three audience members to join him on stage to try to guess the number of sweets. Each one of them has a totally free choice and at the climax, not only does one of the spectators manage to guess exactly right and finds a prediction buried inside the sweets but unbelievably, Paul has also managed to predict in advance, which of the spectators that would be!

My Luckiest Day
The concept explained in this show-stopping finale is a beautiful way to end any mentalism performance. The confabulation plot has always been a firm favourite within mentalism and Paul’s tray revelation can be applied to almost any plot or performance.

Throughout the entire show, right in the middle of the stage is a small table that holds a tray that has a large candlestick and candle standing upon it. At the start of the show the candle is lit and remains in full view and untouched throughout. During the course of the show, Paul has various free choices made by different members of the audience and has them keep a mental note of each one.

At the finale of the show, the candle is extinguished and removed from the tray and Paul turns over the tray to show a written prediction securely taped to the underside of the tray on all sides. Impossibly the prediction matches every single one of the free choices made throughout the show!

This is an unbelievable finale and destined to become a classic way of presenting the confabulation routine. It can be applied to many different types of revelation, in the show, Paul uses times and dates that are selected by the audience by you could have names, places, or just about anything! No fancy boxes or backstage assistants are required – this is the ultimate one-man confabulation for stand-up and stage. The final image of the prediction taped to the underside of a tray is a truly stunning climax to the show!

Join Peter Nardi as he delves into Paul’s background in performing and how it all began for him in mentalism. You will also learn the fascinating processes that go into formulating routines, scripting them and rehearsal techniques. Paul also emphasises the importance of being entertaining and commercial to modern audiences as well as tips on structuring a show correctly to make it flow naturally and making methods invisible.

Advice on handling audiences and clients as well as discussing his love for interesting narratives and presentations are also addressed, including tips on knowing how to adapt and work to different crowds and venues. This is an extremely insightful and interesting section of the DVD that very in-depth and filled with top-notch professional advice from a highly experienced performer.

Fabulous routines and a rediculously low price! DONT BUY THIS!!!! i WANT TO KEEP IT ALL TO MYSELF! "M"

This effect is without doubt one of the most direct and cleanest cards in pocket transposition effects ever created.

From the ingenious mind of Peter Nardi comes a routine that makes the interchange plot cleaner and simpler than any other version previously released.

Four Aces and four kings are shown and the four aces placed into four different pockets about the magicians’ person. Each card really is fairly placed into the pocket and nothing is stolen back out.

The four kings are now fanned to display the faces and the backs may also be shown if you wish. Now with no sudden moves, the cards are turned face up again and spread wide to show the four aces!

Now without any false moves, the first card is removed from the first pocket to show it is now a king! Then the second, third and fourth cards are each removed to show that all four kings have changed places with each of the four aces!

The cards are now placed on your spectator’s outstretched palm and she is asked to place her other hand on top. Your spectator is now asked to name kings or aces and in this case, we assume she chooses aces. She now lifts her hands apart to discover that the aces have totally vanished and just the four kings remain in her hands!

The magician now reaches back into each pocket, totally empty hands each time and one by one, removes the four aces from the four separate pockets once again!

As well as the iChange cards, specially printed by the USPCC, you also receive a detailed instructional DVD that takes you through every stage of the handling to the effect.

As well as the interchange routine, the DVD also covers additional ideas, routines and handling tips that use the iChange gimmicks including:

- Peter’s signed card version of the interchange routine
- iChange Kickback
- Mark Elsdon’s iChange Daley
- And many more in a bonus section where Peter explains many more ideas and routine concepts using these versatile gimmicks

Peter Nardi’s Interchange comes complete with instructional DVD and the four custom-printed iChange gimmicks in red-backed Bicycle brand playing cards.

Please note that the gimmicks are currently ONLY available in RED backed Bicycle design. Just add your own regular deck and you are ready to perform.

Imagine handing out a small, official-looking book from the British Institute of Parapsychology. You freely show each page to contain several different pieces of information: a word, a time, some different-coloured shapes and some random numbers between 10 and 999.

1. The book is handed to participant number one who opens it to any page and looks at a number. He uses that number to choose a country from a list printed at the front of the book. He is asked to think about that country, its capital and any famous landmarks.

2. Participant number two opens the book at any page and remembers the word printed there. He now turns to the back of the book and 'free associates' his word with any of the objects found there.

Now, without touching or taking the book back, you can read the participant's minds and name all five items! Or you could write or draw one, two or all five of them! Or predict the final choice! The options are limitless. This is absolutely incredible and can be performed on 1-5 participants yet is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket! This custom-manufactured book will instantly become part of your working repertoire, ideal for walk-around, table-hopping or parlour and will even play for stage!

Easy-to-learn, in fact you will be performing this almost as soon as you open the package.
No peeks, sleights, cribs or 'memory work' is required. You can even be standing across the room when the choices are made and at no time during performance do you ever need to touch the book!

"If it was any cleaner, the pages would be blank. Brilliant Idea, Perfect."- Wayne Dobson

Now is your chance to perform one of the most talked about routines from the critically acclaimed "Educating Archer" DVD. John Archer's "Chinese Choice" is not just a trick - it is a powerhouse of a routine that blends comedy and mentalism to perfection.

If the name John Archer is not enough to make you buy this effect immediately then read on to find out more about this eagerly anticipated release…

Three spectators are brought on stage and invited to take a traditional Chinese meal in a way they used to do thousands of years ago…

You explain that the ancient Chinese were great mathematicians and believers in numerology. Often numbers were used to help make even the most mundane of choices. Why else would all the items on a Chinese menu be numbered? Hence you explain that you are going to show them how the ancient Chinese would decide what to do when going out for a meal.

One of the spectators is given a small packet of plastic number cards to shuffle. They now choose one person who will be in charge of the menu, while the other two are in charge of setting the amount they will pay for the meal.

The menu is shown as representing the restaurant they will visit. The three spectators are given three cards each and two of them take turns to make up three two-digit numbers.

These two digit numbers are added together to arrive at a total and a decimal point is added to form a price to spend on the meal - but alas! It is incredibly low! £1.65! The prospect of a good meal does not look hopeful!

The third spectator now adds up his three cards to come up with a number, to represent a dish on the menu. When they check out the menu they see that all other menu items are normal, however item number 15 is an 'Eat as much as you like buffet for three people, cost - £1.65.'

Flash Card: A selected card flies out from the center of the deck during a rifle shuffle.

The Opening Trick Theory: David shares his discoveries based on years of work at some of the most prestigious restaurants on the Cote d'Azur. This is entertaining, funny, and extremely valuable advice!

Dreamweaver from Enchantment

From The Enchantment comes a routine that rivals some of the greatest close-up routines in all of magic. Dreamweaver is a linking and unlinking integration of 3 separate principles of deception executed with the greatest of ease. Utilizing objects as simple and ordinary as safety pins, your audience will experience one of the most visual, straightforward, and convincing joining of two objects in magic. This is not a trick - this is a professional 9 - phase routine that builds in each sequence, produces a greater audience response through each phase, and ends with a complete examination of each pin! Spectators may examine all they want, they will never find a thing. What's more, you'll also learn additional and alternative sequences to correlate with the original routine to further demonstrate your abilities. Your audience will witness magic in its purest just inches from their awing eyes. The pins link and unlink in slow motion, in mid-air, even within the spectator's very own hand! But here's the best part, with Dreamweaver you'll ALWAYS be ready to perform. Whenever someone requests that you "do a trick," you'll have a multi-phase professional routine awaiting in your wallet. If you are looking for real world magic that you can carry with you at all times, enter the Dreamweaver.

Very easy to perform -Pins can be fully examined -Perfect for walk-around -Easily fits in any wallet -Extremely fair, visual & magical -An anytime, anywhere worker. Includes the necessary safety pins and gaff, and a 22-page book with digital photograph demonstrations. Dreamweaver is such a reliable routine. It's easy, it fools everyone, and it always leaves an impression. Definitely something you can count on!

You take out a deck of cards from a plastic box, you open the case and remove the top card explaining that you are going to make it vanish. You then put the card back into its case and then place the case back into the box. Now, right under the spectators noses, the whole deck vanishes. You can clearly see through the box. This is a self contained effect and there are no sleights of any kind used.

At last... Altho still waiting for the stage size! I have these from Rob Bromley. It has taken weeks, nae, months of begging, shouting, cajoling, pleading and threatening... To finally get him to make these (Better than the last lot of stage size, that took a year!)

A red die is shown and spun between the two hands. The die is taken apart and from it you remove what you state is “A Carrying Case” for the die. The two sections of the red die are placed on the table in full view so that the audience has a clear view both inside and out. The case is now opened up and is also shown inside and out. The empty case is placed on the table alongside the red die. The two parts of the red die are reassembled, freely shown and then—believe it or not— the die is placed inside the carrying case which, only moments before was taken from it! But the effect does not end there! The patter story then switches to China. You open the case and from it—you produce a box of tea from China—the red die has completely vanished! Bob Driebeck is the Inventor and he gets big laughs with this. The apparatus is hand made to the high standard we have come to expect from Rob. Bright in color for top visibility. Can be performed entirely surrounded.

Effect: With four miniature chairs in a row across the table, three spectators are invited to randomly choose their seat. After the spectators are 'seated' in the chair of their choice, three brass plates with a 'question mark' symbol on top are introduced. The brass plates are then mixed by one of the spectators and each spectator is given a free choice of one of the plates. The performer points out that each person's plate has a different color underneath and then, one at a time, reveals that the color affixed to each chair is actually the same color which the spectator is holding! For the suprise finish, all of the chairs are turned around where they find the word 'SEATED' which is genuinly engraved on the back of each chair except the one they left empty!

The chairs and color plates were freely chosen yet the performer has predicted which chair has been chosen, which color the participants have randomly selected and which chair was left empty. A truly amazing prediction with a very clever ending!

It can be repeated with a different result each time and is very clean in execution. Each chair is hand crafted of genuine teak and the workmanship is collectible quality.

• No forces.
• No magician’s choices.
• No special envelopes.
• No equivoques.
• No stooges.
• No pre-show work.
• The method can be repeated for the same audiences!

Chris is young man who has an incredibally inventive mind. He is so full of ideas, that most days he cannot contain his excitement at some new move or idea. Chris is already becoming an underground legend amongst the "workers". Here is his first booklet of routines that he has created taking some classic effects and adding some different touches to them. Originally released as an E-book recieving many excellent reviews, we have decided to make it into a "Hard-copy".

Contents:
Oil and Hot Water - A four card 'oil & water' routine with a colour changing back kicker! Killer, practical card magic!
Named Ace - 'Twisting the Aces' meets 'All backs' with a named four of a kind. Then they change to the Four Aces! A LOT of magic in one very clever routine!
A Very Nice Pair - A tabled selection changes to a King then both Kings trap the selection in the deck! You'll be doing this very cool 'quickie' the day after you read it!
Joker in the Box - A brilliant exploration of 'Dr. Daleys Last Trick' that takes the effect way beyond the original. Flashy and impressive, this is a real gem!
Find that Ace - 'Spectator Cuts the Aces' routine. An excellent combination of devastating principles balled into one show stopping routine. Better make it a closer because this will be difficult to top!

"If you like visual magic with multiple climaxes, check out Christopher Williams new booklet, 'A Collection of Card Magic. "... Mike Powers

"Genuinely one of the most interesting manuscripts on cards I've read in a long time. All the effects are created with the real world performer in mind and they are put together beautifully. You WILL use the effects contained within 'A Collection of Card Magic', there just isn't any good reason not
to!"... Dave Forrest

With great pleasure be able to offer you our 2nd downloadable E-Book - PDF format - Download

Baffling Perfection in Brass Magic! A precision manufactured Close-up Marvel. Hand a small brass nut and a length of string.

"They" thread the "Nut" onto the string themselves. Holding onto both ends of the string there is no possibility for the NUT to escape...
With a handkerchief you cover the NUT & string, then behold the miracle... You magically remove the NUT from the string!!

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.

This is an effect that will make you look like a master of sleight of hand in no time at all.

Two coins are shown front and back; one is silver the other copper. You state that you're going to perform the old two-coin trick for your spectator.

You place both coins into your fist and remove the silver one, which you place into your pocket. You now ask your spectator if she can tell you what's left in your hand. She will say the copper coin. At this point you open your hand and show both coins still there. Once again the coins are shown front and back and placed into your fist, this time the copper coin is removed and placed into your pocket, you ask your spectator to tell you what's in your hand. She says the silver coin; your hand is opened to reveal both coins. The silver coin is now given to you spectator to hold as you show the copper coin back and front and place it into your empty fist. Your spectator now places the silver coin into your jacket pocket. Your spectator is asked if the silver coin is in your pocket, what coin is left in your hand? She replies the copper coin. Once again when your fist is opened both coins are there.

Now as a final kicker ending both coins are seen in your hand. You remove the copper coin and show it both sides, this is placed into your pocket. Now for the final time your spectator is asked what's left in my hand. Thinking that they know what you're up to, she may say that you have both coins in your hand. At this point you slowly open your fist to show that the coins have vanished completely!

This is one coin trick I use regularly table hopping always getting a great reaction. Highly recommended"M"

These are a slightly larger variation of the Goshman leather coin purse.

Like its smaller brother it features a hidden internal latch. This one however has a lining interior, so those real silver coins will not tarnish so easily!

This terrific magic prop helps you perform amazing card miracles! If you can open and close the case, you can do the tricks!

Plastic card case with hidden magnet feature lets you change or vanish cards smoothly.

I also have Two Original Tenyo card boxes. No instructions but they are in very good condition

Have a spectator choose a card
- Then, sign the card
- Next, put the card back into the deck.
- Shuffle the deck...
- Finally, with the wave of a hand,
- The deck disappears, and what is left is the one chosen and signed card! Effect includes large 8 1/2" x 11" booklet with complete and illustrated instructions plus specially printed gimmicks to use for Exit51 and instructions on how to make more!

A Credit Card for the Real Psychic. An amazing concept from the mind of Menny Lindenfeld: They'll swear you're PSYCHIC!

Suggest a bet: let a spectator hide a banknote in one of a few UNMARKED envelopes. If you perform in a pub or restaurant, let him hide it under beer coasters, or napkins. Your task will be to FIND THE BILL or face dire consequences - losing your hard-earned cash. If you win, the next round is on him. Being so sure of your psychic abilities, you decide to add your very own credit card to the stake. The stage is set. Concentrate for a moment and always be able to FIND THE BILL, WIN THE WAGER, & GET THE FREE DRINKS!

Instead of finding a single hidden bill you can also IDENTIFY the values of MULTIPLE BILLS or even detect other objects - PERSONAL CHECKS, business cards, certain finger rings, and more... limited only by your imagination.

A special credit card will do all the work for you. Remaining in view during the whole performance and looking just like a normal credit card, Psychic's Credit Card™ will signal you the location of the bill.

No need to spend a small fortune on one from Todd Lassen, This fabulous zip up holder from Jerry will not only hold your favorite 3Fly routine but will have space to spare. Designed to hold anything up to a Silver Dollar comfortabley in each of its SIX pockets. It also features a belt loop on the back so you can carry it on your belt. No more Silver Dollars weighing your pocket down or rattling amongst your loose change. The inner lining is material (as with all Jerrys purses), so your Silver coins will not not tarnish as they do in leather!

Back in stock the Rubber band trick that started it all for me. I still use this as a regular part of my rubber band routine. It gets tremendous reaction. "M"

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

At last back in stock again (very limited stock getting these out of Rob is a nightmare!)

A red die is shown and spun between the two hands. The die is taken apart and from it you remove what you state is “A Carrying Case” for the die. The two sections of the red die are placed on the table in full view so that the audience has a clear view both inside and out. The case is now opened up and is also shown inside and out. The empty case is placed on the table alongside the red die. The two parts of the red die are reassembled, freely shown and then, believe it or not, the die is placed inside the carrying case which, only moments before was taken from it! But the effect does not end there! The patter story then switches to China. You open the case and from it you produce a box of tea from China, the red die has completely vanished! Bob Driebeck is the Inventor and he gets big laughs with this. The apparatus is hand made. Bright in color for top visibility. Can be performed entirely surrounded.

This is the Gozinta boxes on steroids! Originally sold by Ken Brooke and then the Ace Place. These have been notoriosly difficult to obtain since then. Dont miss your chance now!

For many years I searched for the perfect holder for my 3Fly coins (Silver Dollars) I did not want them rattling around getting spoiled amongst my loose change. Neither did I want them weighing my pocket down, making me walk walk strangely with the weight of the coins pulling me to one side! Then one day I saw one of these. They are the perfect size to hold 3/4 Silver Morgan Dollars.

It has took me many months to track down someone who can supply these beauties but finally here they are! On the rear is a loop that press studs into place so you don't have to take you belt off to put this on. Going out the door... slip over the belt, snap, its on, your off, your trick tucked safely away until you need it!

Want to David Blaine...There is one trick I have been asked for more than any other of his... The bitten coin...

As usual I'm sure you know exactly what happens but in case you don't... A 10p (or 50p) is borrowed from your spectator. You now proceed to bite a chunk out of the coin! You actually look like you have bitten a chunk out of their very own coin! Now you hold the coin up to your mouth and with one blow the missing part VISUALLY appears back on the coin! Easy very, very easy!

This eight phase ring and rope routine comes complete with 5" ring, rope, and a complete, well written, 12 page 8 1/2" x 11" illustrated manual. It is amazing what can be done with so little. Aldo Colombini's Still Ringing is an awesome new ring and rope routine perfect for stage, walk-around and close-up!

"I'm very excited about this routine for a number of reasons. As you will see, each phase blends into the next smoothly with an economy of moves that should appeal to every performer. Because of this, it can be done silently (set to music) or you can write a script with appropriate patter. It lends itself easily to both comic and serious presentations. It is a very versatile routine, because it can be done close-up, in walk-around situations or even used in parlor or stage performances. Finally, it is not difficult to do. Once understood, the moves are very easy." -Aldo Colombini.

A spectator's ring vanishes and magically appears attached to a key chain that was being held tight by a spectator!

The Uniqueness of Tony Clark's Presto Ring Flight:

#3 - Come with step by step instructions with photos to make it easy to learn in a short time.

CARD FLIGHT
A card is selected and shuffled back into the deck. The magician has the spectator cup their hands around the key chain. He tells the spectator that just like their ring, their selected card will magically be on the key chain. Magician snaps his fingers and tells the spectator to open their hands and see if it happened. When the spectator opens their hands, they don't see their card on the key chain. Finally the magician instructs them to look under the metal flap and they are amazed to see a mini playing card that matches their selection!

It has multiple functions, and with it you will be able to create astonishing effects by applying simple principles.

Such as appearances and vanishes, penetrations, 3 fly, Coin thru bill, and more.

This versatile coin set makes everything so simple, and can be used for many other routines!

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.

One of the greatest classics in magic. A card or cards are selected by your spectators who can even sign and return the cards to the deck. Now the magician makes a couple of magical passes over the cards and suddenly one card rises from the middle of the deck. This is then repeated with the other selected cards. Simple, direct, straight to the point magic. Highly recommended. This deck is manufactured by Martini Magic... It is the ONLY deck ever to be authorized by Mitch Devano himself,

ALSO... And this is a a biggie. The rising unit comes with a LIFETIME warranty! If it breaks you send it back and they will repair it!!!!

A classic routine in which a spectator is given an INVISIBLE pack of cards. They remove them from the box shuffle them, cut them and anything else that your wicked mind can imagine (you think he looks stupid ! You gave him the cards in the first place…) They choose a card from the invisible deck, then return it face down, shuffle the pack again and puts it back in its case. The performer then produces a real and quite visible pack of cards. With this pack in full view the spectator now names his chosen card. Slowly at finger tips the pack is removed from its case, fanning through it one card is seen face down in the otherwise face up deck…(Suspense…) You remove it…(More suspense...) Turn it over YES ! It's the chosen card. A true miracle ! What's more no slight of hand and very easy to do. Return the card and you're reset, ready to go again. Also perfect to keep handy just in case, (heaven forbid), you happen to make a mistake in your favourite card routine. Found the wrong card…Well it so happens…reversed in this deck is…You know the rest. This is a must have in every magicians repertoire.

Large - The cards are more managable than a jumbo deck, but more visable than a standard deck if you want to work to a larger audience. The cards are just under 5 by 3.5 inches

When magicians predicted a chosen number...He predicted which of six rifles should be aimed at his forehead!

He was Maurice Fogel, the twentieth century’s most audacious mentalist and one of its greatest showmen. His feats of mind reading captured headlines around the world—when he wasn’t predicting them. He dared death, he read minds and he became a legend in his own time.

Here is a taste of a typical Fogel performance: Six volunteer marksmen were invited on stage to operate six legitimate, loaded and fully functioning rifles. One man chose a rifle at random and fired at a saucer, shattering it to smithereens. The discharged rifle was set with the five still-loaded ones in a rotating rack and the rack spun until no one could know which was the empty weapon. Each marksman was assigned a random number and took a random rifle from the rack. Fogel next revealed a predicted number that had been in full view and isolated from the start. The marksmen were all told to aim at saucers over Fogel’s head—but the man assigned the predicted number was to aim directly at Fogel’s forehead. Then, on his command they all fired!

To some he was a mental wonder; to others, an enigma. For years he strode the stages of the world, reading minds and using his strange powers to defy death. Maurice Fogel: In Search of the Sensational is the chronicle of the life of a master mentalist whose like has never been seen. He baffled the world and his peers. He defied death for years on a near nightly basis. He created an extraordinary body of professional mentalism that has remained among the most coveted material in the field. This book contains that material, along with the advice, experience and stories of a lifetime of professional performance by one of the world’s most acclaimed mentalists.

Maurice Fogel: In Search of the Sensational is the story of an amazing life and the mental secrets of an amazing man— The Amazing Fogel.

Written and collected by Chris Woodward, an award-winning magician and Fogel’s son-in-law, in collaboration with mentalist and Fogel confidant Richard Mark, here at last is the definitive work on Maurice Fogel, the man and his secrets.

A specialist in the field of levitation and inventor of the "Floating Table," Losander has compiled an interesting array of effects with some new ideas.

Utilizing a new thread system, Losander shares ideas and insights on the performance of levitation effects for stage and close up.

Effects demonstrated in this video include: The Floating Feather, Floating Bubble Through Ring, The Jumping Card, Mystical Fork, Dancing Hanky (self contained and close-up) and a whole segment on bubble Magic. This video has something for everyone! Single DVD.

Another great classic of children's magical entertainment. You show a colouring book... Horror of horrors its completely blank, no pictures to colour in. After the usual by play pictures appear but now they need colouring in ! Eventually (depends how much time you have to waste !) the pictures become coloured. 3 Changes in one book. A must have prop!

Special offer, buy the colouring book and a matching blank page book that you can leave out to show that the pictures really have disappeared again!

This was a great idea by Menge and originally made by U.F. Grant, but it always lacked 'quality'. Well, Paul Osborne of the Illusion Books series put his professional touch to this effect and has made it a real winner.

You perform the standard egg bag effect where an egg is placed inside a small cloth bag. The egg is caused to vanish and reappear. Much comedy by-play ensues and finally you ask the question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Regardless of the answers you get, you drop the egg into the bag, then turn the bag inside out and the entire bag changes into a large funky chicken!

This is great fun, great audience appeal and easy to perform. You receive everything needed to perform this classic effect.

First, in a live performance for lay people, close up and personal, you will see a full time pro Cody Fisher perform the powerful magic, that has won him awards worldwide. Including the very prestigious Texas Association of Magicians award for best close-up magic.

Each of these effects have been honed over countless performances, into the strong magic pieces they are now. Cody tips everything, including all of the gags and bits of business, that make these outstanding tricks into the strong pieces of magical entertainment, that they are.

If you have read Cody's column, for which he was voted "Columnist of the Year," you will know him to be knowledgeable and creative magician and an excellent teacher. It's no surprise that he is the same in person. You will find, he explains his practical, mind-blowing magic clearly and in detail. This is not only professional magic that will make you money, but killer, reputation making for real world situation.

THE HEADACHE TRICK- This trick will also teach you the following original moves:
-Blank Card Theory - In-Jog Riffle Force - A very easy and convincing way to force a card

Floating Match

Floating match

A match is placed across a playing card. At the magicians command the match rises and floats above the card. Another card is passed under the match to prove it is floating. The match then floats down and rests on the card. Very simple and very deceptive.

With great pleasure and pride, MAGICO presents Fetsching Magic: The Life and Legacy of Hen Fetsch by Robert Kirkwood Spence. Here is a long overdue testimonial to the untold influence of a gifted Twentieth Centrury magician's magician, who might well be called "The Father of the Modern Magic Lecture."

"...In an era when inventors are all but forgotten and books of practical platform magic are a rarity, Mr. Spencer is to be saluted for reviving memories of a wonderful magician and for bringing Hen Fetsch’s magic tricks to the attention of a new generation of performers..." Steve Bryant

Imagine having in your pocket a powerful demonstration of thought reading. Perform one on one, or on the largest stage.

Diction is based on ideas from Ray Hyman, C.L. Boarde, and several others combined with practical additions I discovered through real world performances. More importantly…you will be provided with the perfect tools to carry a monster mental effect in your pocket. What could be more innocent than a pocket dictionary? Not to mention it has over 35,000 words and definitions! Impressive.

IF I pulled out a book you have never seen before you might be suspect, but this innocent and handy pocket dictionary is completely normal and examinable! Not to mentioned it is a Webster’s New World Dictionary, which is the most commonly recognized dictionary in the WORLD.

Diction can be performed for one person at the coffee shop or for 800 people in a theater. Several subtle techniques are combined to create an unexplainable feat of mentalism.

You introduce Webster’s pocket dictionary containing over 35,000 defined words. You have a page selected by people choosing random numbers. No cards, dice, or math of any kind are used to select a page in a contrived way. Lets say page 42 is selected. The person holding the dictionary is asked to turn to that page. The performer can now instantly reveal AT LEAST TWO WORD REVELATIONS FOR ANY PAGE SELECTED. Not only that but the performer can even give details about the word and even full definitions!

1. The most important prop is this Webster’s New World Pocket Dictionary. Note that this dictionary is ideal for carrying in your pocket and repeat use. It is NOT a paperback. Unlike most paperback dictionaries it won’t fall apart and become warn quickly due to its plastic cover. Feel free to toss it in the audience if you like. It will take a good lickin’. It can also be examined.

4. BONUS ROUTINE Emotional Reaction Book Test. Inspired by Larry Becker, Dany Tong, David Hoy, and Dai Vernon.

".....I couldn’t believe how devilishly simple and yet so powerful it was. The best part is that I was able to do it within minutes of opening the package. I couldn’t wait to do it for the guys last night because this is a must have. Very clever indeed Mr. Kranzo."- Aaron DeLong

”Simple, practical, strong, and fits in your back pocket. What more could you ask for?”- Lee Asher

A set of specially gimmicked stainless steel neck shackle for the escape artist.

While they can be examined and appear completely innocent, they will permit you to escape in seconds.

Ideal for use with wrist shackles, neck irons and other similar props for escape acts.

A fabulous childrens routine perfect for those priceless"photo opportunities". Originally sold by Supreme Magic, now remade and re-released at last ! Four children are invited on stage to take part in a fashion parade... One by one they turn around to show they are "wearing" comedy costumes. a Clown, Swimmer, Strongman and a Ballerina. Opps the boy has the Ballerina costume and the girl is the Strongman... After all the "bits of business" a winner is chosen and you magically take a picture of them. A real stage filler a great addition to any childrens performance. Made in silk screened, heavy duty card to last. Highly recommended.

The performer produces four golf balls, one by one. Each one is placed between the fingertips of the right hand. This seems like the end of the effect, but a surprise awaits the audience with the production of a giant golf ball!

With golf being one of the world's most popular sports, you cannot find a more commercial routine than this. The addition of one of these routines to your repertoire will create an instant connection with your audience.

This set includes 4 white sponge golf balls, one yellow sponge golf ball, one giant white sponge golf ball, and photo-illustrated instructions for 3 routines! These are not made from the regular goshman sponge, these are slighty harder and look like a golf ball rather than a white sponge ball!

An envelope containing four cards is seen. A spectator freely names any one of the four kings. The cards are removed and fanned showing the selected king is the only one face up. Now for the kicker...when this freely selected card is turned over, it has a different colored back than the other three!

Parade of the Kings is a real mind-blowing effect printed on Poker Sized Bicycle cards!

A fan of four cards are shown, three identical and one odd. The fan is closed and a couple of cards are moved. Two are face up and two are face down, giving the spectator a more than fair chance to select the odd card, but time after time they never find it, even when cards are eliminated from the fan.

One of the most exciting projects in magic. On this DVD are countless Ken Brooke movies showing him demonstrating and performing some of his classic routines together with many effects from Harry Stanley's Unique Magic Studio in London ... but best of all ....

Patrick Page has provided a remarkable and informative live sound commentary for this fabulous DVD

Amongst the many Unique Studio items were a number of silent movies and many of these featured the amazing magic of the amazing Ken Brooke – one of the most loved British magicians of all time.

Patrick Page was kind enough to view all of these Harry Stanley films and has provided a highly informative voice-over commentary on all of the effects that you will see on this DVD. Patrick Page knew Ken Brooke very well and he knew the tricks that Ken performed and here you will not only see Ken Brooke at work but will also hear a great deal about the history of the tricks and routines he performed.

There are many, many delightful Ken Brooke interludes that will take old timers down memory road and which will inspire relative newcomers to magic as well.. It is all here from the Chinese Linking Rings KB ring count to the KB Coin Box plus many of the tricks featured over the years in the Unique Studio catalogues.

As a very special bonus Patrick Page also allowed us to include some sound material. This was filmed just before Ken died so sadly. The sound material filmed by Vic Pinto and Patrick Page includes Chase the Ace and The Chop Cup routine and even the wonderful Tamariz Rabbits. Oh what a treat awaits every viewer!

These Medium Sized Set of Cups have been turned in Purple Heart Wood...this distinctive exotic wood offers an unusual colour with an open 'feather' grain which becomes darker and more vivid as the wood oxidises...

The height of the cups is approx 3.75" with a generous opening of 2.75", the elegant & simple lines of the cups allow the natural beauty of the wood to speak for itself, a tapered design which follows through to the inside of the cup with a dome feature inside the cup... and a matching reverse 'recess' on the outside top.

The Cups have a turned shoulder on the bottom edge, with a further matching shoulder just under halfway up the cup for perfect stacking.

This wood although beautiful does not have the weight or density of many exotics and as such the overall weight of these cups is lighter in the handling...this set will find equal admirer's from both 'Working Magician's' and Collectors...offering an unusual wood, but with an original and distinctive element to this 'classic of magic' for those who relish the 'signature' of hand crafted turned wooden magic!

GJ 6 Cards to Pocket (Gary Jones' signature routine), CC Cards to Pocket, CC Cards to Pocket, GJ Pocket to Pocket (incorporating Gary's Ambitious Card), GJ Repeat Signed Cards to Pocket, Top Con Control, John Carey's inspired by Lance (performed by Christopher Congreave), GJ's No Sleep Plus

A two phase routine that can be performed together or separately. An image from a Bicycle card box is captured in a mirrored penknife. The reflection remains "trapped" in the mirror until it is knocked out. The reflection actually falls out of the mirror!

In the second phase of the routine a spectator's selection appears in the mirror!

Ken Driscoll has modernized and perfected this classic Larry Becker mentalism effect.

Ken has made the effect a little more commercial for the walk-around, close up, and platform performer.

He combines both classic patter from Becker, as well as his own suggestions, leaving the performer with several options for a great performance.

For those who don't know, the Horwitz Wallet enables the performer to perform a number of effects including the miracle card in wallet effect. What makes this wallet so different that all the changes and the tricky business all takes place when the SPECTATOR put the wallet in his own pocket. Everything is done openly and there is no palming involved. The wallet has inspired a number of effects many of which are in the book of instructions. There is a brilliant Just Chance with Bank Notes and Envelopes which are burnt. One of the best effects with the wallet baffled everyone when Basil first demonstrated it. A card is selected and signed and placed in the wallet and then put in a spectator's pocket. the spectator is then blindfolded The spectator is asked to hold his arm or hand over the pocket containing the wallet. The performer openly pickpockets the spectator and removes the signed card from the wallet and put the wallet back in the spectator's pocket.

The crunch is that the spectator has no idea how he has been pickpocketed until the performer shows that he now has the signed card and the spectator discovers to his amazement that the wallet in his pocket is completely empty. Be warned that this great effect requires two Horwitz Wallets.

Back in 1982 Basil Horwitz gave a special seminar on the wallet here at the IBM Convention which was held at my new home town of Brighton. The Seminar was unusual in that all participants had to be the owners of one of these wallets. At least fifty people turned up for what might well be described as the most exciting event of that IBM Convention.

Whilst their back is turned the magician invites a spectator to choose one of five different coloured cards.

The magician then repeats the effect, this time the cards are placed in envelopes and mixed up...But still the amazing magician finds the envelope containing the chosen coloured card.

I have fooled EVERYONE with this even some of the most knowledgeable magicians. An absolute killer. And Sooooo simple! Don't miss out on this>

The English version of Scotch and Soda. But magnetic and even more versatile!!! The variations of effects possible are limited only by your imagination. Imagine placing a 1p coin and a £1 coin on the table placing a glass over them and twirling the glass around the coins when you stop only the £1 is left the 1p has completely disappeared. Placing the coins in the hand of a spectator and making the 1p penetrate thru their hand or vanish and reappear in yours hand leaving them with only the £1…All this and more.

Hot Shot Pass [Zealotry] – A variation of Daryl’s Hot Shot Cut.
A Shock from the Coffin – A revelation using Ray Kosby’s Coffin Change.
Misdirection Tenkai Palm [Evocation Monthly Newsletter] – Yet another move that is perfect to compose your “one card flurry” routine.

Two Card Transpositions
Déjà Vu – An unusual two card transposition which creates a Déjà Vu experience for your spectator.
Fortune favors Bold [Zealotry] – A two card transposition which employs a very bold approach, but it looks cool and it works!
A.S. Transposition – An over the top style transposition which can also be used to accomplish an off balance transposition. Warning: this item is highly likely not to appear on your to do list.

Revelations
Double Revelation [Evocation Monthly Newsletter] – A quick and extremely visual manipulation sequence of the four Aces.
Simplified J.C. Four at Once [Evocation Monthly Newsletter] – An super easy method to do Jack Carpenter’s Four at Once production.
3:1 Revelation – A beautiful and explosive way to produce a four of a kind.
Alternation – A one at the time four of a kind revelation, no face up cards needed in the set up, this sequence can also be used as an alternative opening for Chris Kenner’s “Poker for the Eyes”.

Routines
Triple Twisted Zendwich [Evocation Monthly Newsletter] – Zenneth’s super easy handling of the Twisted Collectors plot.
Random thoughts at the time of writing this booklet
Card Thru Table – This method can only be done in one on one situation, but it looks absolutely clean and innocent.
The Visitor – A completely in the hand handling of Larry Jennings’ The Visitor, which effectively emphasis the impossibility of the transportation of the selection.

The second 8th mini card act of Zenneth’s 10 mini card acts, a bread and butter item comes out directly from the Zenneth’s repertoire, it consists four interlinked effects:

By Play – Two set of four of a kind literally exchange their positions, wait, they are not, this phase will definitely puzzle your spectators.

Climax - The highlight of this mini card act is ReZet, which is Zenneth’s personal handling of Paul Harris’s Reset. Zenneth teaches a fresh and interesting presentation of the plot and a great colour change – The Misdirection Change, this routine also comes with possibly the best ever clean up devised for Reset.

It Really Happens – Here you will learn two real stories of Zenneth when performing this act, and two additional edges that you will have if you bring the necessary cards with you.

Bonus Effect: Eight Cards Opener - An ace cutting demonstration with a surprise ending of the appearance of four Kings! The Ace cutting part is a fooler, your spectator will believe you are a super card expert, the good news is you don’t have to be a real card expert to perform it. With some alternations, this routine can be an ideal alternative for the original opener of this act.

Life is Dangerous - This is a technically easier version of Jerry Sadowitz’s Prone to Live Dangerously.

Strange Prediction - This is a small kicker finish to Roy Walton's Strange Prediction which makes it appear that the spectator has managed to find four of a kind in addition to his own selection.

The Other Face of the Queen - This is a popular trick in Hong Kong and uses the fact that not all Queens in a pack of cards look in the same direction.

No Money No Honey - This is a variation of The Gem-Money Cards by Allan Ackerman & Dean Dill.

3 Phases Monte - After the performance of No Money No Honey, we can proceed to this three phase Monte routine and make use of the three notes left on the table as part of the presentation.

Transitivity - Not another card trick, but an intriguing manipulation sequence which deceives your spectator’s attention.

Biddled Across by Benny Lau - A fresh and brilliant presentation for the classic Biddle trick.

All the way from Hong Kong, Zenneth "The Bruce Lee of Card Magic" Kok brings you some of his signature pieces. In this DVD, Zenneth will perform and explain some of his most treasured items in full detail:

Explosion - A blend of three visual effects; Ambitious Card, Inversion and Colour Changing Deck, this routine features Shigeo Futagawa's Elevator Move

Zenneth Alignment Move Workshop - this is a highly versatile move. You will learn details of the mechanism and many applications of this move: The Edge Change, Ambidextorous Sandwich and more...

Jet Twist (Stand up Version) - An impromptu handling of Zenneth's previously marketed item - Impossible Twist. Four Kings turn face down one at a time in a progressively impossible manner, while the Twisting sequence is already a killer, the transformation of the four Aces at the end will render your spectator speechless!

The Cheek of the Monster (Performance Only) - Zenneth's variation and addition to Ray Kosby's The Other Cheek: Twisting, Collectors and Colour Changing Deck.

3 Times 3 (Third Time) - The 3rd Act, a three phases extreme visual manipulation of Ace, 2 and 3 that you can do entirely stand up, this is one of Zenneth's most performed routines.

The 7th Act - This is Zenneth's take on the ReCollectors plot, one of his most treasured mini card acts, a 6 minutes card act packed full of visual effects and the best of all, no preparation is needed.

The Killer Opener - The name says it all. This is a killer. One of the best shrinking card case effects ever, a perfect opener for you card act. The best thing of all is that it is almost sleight free!

Card Under the Badge - Cards have been loaded under a glass and inside a wallet for ages...Now they have one more impossible location to go!!

Not for the faint of heart, serious card magicians will love this! I have had the pleasure of seeing some of these live.

Finally, an EASY to do "Card at Your Birthday" diary trick, with NO MEMORY, NO CALCULATIONS in your head, NO cue sheets to hide. Just use your favorite deck of playing cards and Kenton's unique secrets.

A deck of cards is spread faces to the spectator. The performer NEVER looks at the faces. The spectator names her birthday, and the performer sets one card down sight unseen - even by him. If you prefer, the spectator herself can cut or take a card and set it aside.

The performer mentions how personality types and cards often go together. He may do a reading at this point if desired, or skip it if he does not wish to do so.

A large, full-color chart that has been sitting on the table the entire time is opened by the spectator. She finds her birth date, and notes which card is listed as "her special card" on that day. Sure enough, this very card is the one she selected, or the performer set aside sight unseen.

You can use your own REAL deck and your own REAL pocket calendar or business organizer. But Kenton has created a beautiful chart, very esoteric in appearance. He did not stop there...

It's like a readings business kit. The chart is a very large 17 X 11 inches when open. The front cover of the chart is just as pictured above. You can't help but look at it! This works as an advertising card for your readings or performance.

Set the chart up on any table, anywhere, and you are set to do readings with no work whatsoever. The readings are written for you on the inside of the chart. Your opening remarks are hidden on the back side of the chart, or this can be read by prospective clients if you prefer.

NEVER has an "instant readings" kit been so easy, so commercial, so immediate. Whether you're a pro or an amateur, this is for YOU. Set the chart on your table (it opens like a book) and the front and back covers grab everyone's attention. They see instantly that you do some sort of reading.

The rest is just as easy, as incredible as that may sound. It is SIMPLE to get to the spectator's secret birth card without memory, cue sheets or anything else. With Kenton's ingenious thinking behind it all, the hard work has been done for you. All you do is spread the cards between your hands. Yes, the cards can be examined. It is in no stack known to man, so magicians and mentalists are floored too.

We just cannot say enough about this remarkable system by Kenton. Whether you use it to go to work doing readings right away, to add readings to your close-up, or to do the best version ever of the card-at-your-date trick, we predict you will be thrilled by this special kit!

Comes with the FULL color four page chart and sign, 17 X 11 inches printed (not color copied) on gloss stock. A very professional set up. You also get Kenton's instructions for the chart, different ways to use it, varied presentations, numerous linguistic tricks incorporated in the set up, and loads of simple ways to do personality type readings without fear of being wrong, giving bad advice, or getting stuck. You will always end strong, no matter what.

Close-up Master Henry Evans strikes again with this clever effect that happens right in the spectator's hand!

Several rubber bands are dropped into hand of the spectator. The spectator is instructed to close their hand and in an instant the magician has the spectator open the hand to show that all the bands are now linked in a continous chain...and can be examined!

You will recieve complete instructions and all materials you need to perform this incredible effect.

Here's a fun routine for the classic Two In The Hand, One In The Pocket. You approach your audience with a closed fist and ask someone to guess what's inside. Finally, you tell them..."8 Balls!" With that you open your hand to reveal three miniature 8 Balls (made from rubber). You place one ball in your pocket and then close your hand around the other two. In a wink, your hand is opened to reveal...8 balls, but three instead of two! Again, you place a ball in your pocket and again it appears back in your hand! Finally, you try one more time. But this time when you open your hand there's only one ball...but it's a full size rubber replica of an 8 Ball!

The performer offers his brightly coloured magic wand to a child who is helping with one of the tricks, taking the wand the audience is surprised to see that the performer still has a wand of a different colour in his hand!, the magician now holds yet another wand of a different colour. Requesting his helper to place one of the wands under his arm the magician offers the wand once again, Oh dear! it's multiplied again! Things are getting out of hand, or should we say, the child is running out of hands! The performer puts this wand under the child's chin! The audience are in fits of laughter as this is repeated until seven brightly coloured wands are positioned all over the child's body, in his hands, under the chin, under his arms and between his knees. It's easy to perform and guarantees laughs galore with this riot of fun and colour a must in true childrens entertainers repotoire!

These are handmade ... I have only few left of these as they are the last that he is making!
