Top Secret Magic - The Very Best In New Magic

Finally back in stock - If you only buy one trick this year let it be this one...

It's one of those "must carry 'round" items you will have with you at all times. Listen to this: Have the spectator think of ANY date in the year. Toss him your little pocket diary; "Open the diary to your selected date, and as you do, note that I have hand written a different card in every day of the year; 365 days, seven decks of cards shuffled together and spread at random, check it out."... "Do you have your date? If you had chosen the date before, would it have been the same card? No? What about the date after? No? For the first time, then, what card is written on your date?" The spectator names the card.

The performer then removes an envelope from the same diary held by the spectator and upon opening it, reveals one card and one card only... and it is the same card as named by the spectator!.

This is a diabolically clever effect and, more importantly, sufficiently strong to guarantee a lasting impression. It's always ready. This will be on your 'A' List guaranteed.

BONUS! Now including two great additional routines by two working professionals. You get an extrmely great effect and handling by Richard Osterlind and another by Richard Gerlitz. This plus Cassidy's original instructions give you a powerful impromptu killer effect.

I have used this personally at virtually EVERY table I ever worked for the last several years... It is so simple its unbelieveable that it could create such a strong impression. An absolute killer! - 'M' (Since originally writting this advert I have also started to use Richard Osterlinds routine in my Lounge shows to even greater effect!)

Deluxe Silk To Egg (Egg Only / in BROWN!!!) - Viking Mfg

For many years (more than I care to mention) I have performed the "Sucker" Silk to Egg routine. For the last 20 years I have used a plastic egg. Now there is absolutely no problem with this, but in the back of my mind I have always wished it looked just a little better. I searched but to no avail. White Eggs (fake) were plentiful. But here in the UK you try and find white eggs... Just as I had given up hope I discovered the "Tirofog" eggs now discontinued (they were outstanding but also breakable...) Viking took things in hand and now present to you... The finest Fake Egg for the famous Silk To Egg routine ever offered. IN BROWN!

The mold for our Deluxe Silk To Egg fake was made from a real egg. The color and texture has taken months to develop, but finally, in the Viking tradition, we have developed the best fake eggs anywhere. It looks exactly like a real egg, but it's hollow, and lets you put a silk inside it. Made from resin, by people who know what an egg should look like.

You can pay more, but you will not receive anything close to our perfect eggs. This will fool everyone, even a chicken.

This silk to egg is the most realistic I've ever seen. I almost ate it. Seriously, it's very strong and built to last. Nathan Kranzo, USA

A GREAT close-up miracle, ready to perform any time, any where.
The performer displays a small teakwood box with a die sealed within. The die can be seen through the clear acrylic top. A wonderful and colorful story about Badlands Bob begins to unfold. Sadly, he lost his life on the roll of this very die! A spectator is asked to try and change the uppermost number on the die by shaking the box, which he soon finds is impossible. The performer then asks the spectator to choose a number between 1 and 6. The box is simply pushed toward the spectator and lo and behold, the uppermost number now matches the spectator's selected number!

No switches; there is a hidden gimmick, but easily concealed. Any number between 1 and 6 may be used as there is no force. Instantly resets and therefore is a great walk-around effect. Can be examined before and after. No awkward moves; done right under their noses. Finest quality and a joy to perform. Comes complete with die, secret and instructions. You'll do this 10 minutes after receiving it and you'll perform this often. It's that good!

PLEASE NOTE: There is a cheap copy being offered for sale by many dealers. Do not be fooled. It is an inferior product. Buy the original with Collectors Workshops lifetime warranty.

Price: £40

One of the greatest hidden writing gimmicks ever made. Predict the total of change in a spectator's pocket. The outcome of a football game. Anything you can think of can be predicted at a moments notice with this hidden weapon.

Not a Nail, boon or thumb tip but a band writer this is a band (hence the name) that fits around the thumb and therefore sits very securely. Easy to put on and off and houses a grease pencil lead which is thicker and more visible than a normal pencil!

One ball becomes two and two becomes three should be in the repertoire of every magician. Produce a ball at your fingertips. In rapid succession four balls between your fingers.
Just as swiftly, the balls are caused to vanish one at a time until nothing is left.

Each ball is made of rubberized plastic for easy grip. The balls have that ’stick’ to them that makes easier manipulating. The color (a vibrant yellow) is dyed completely through the ball. No more of slippery balls that fall easily. Will not chip or crack. Comes with three balls and a gimmick.

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

Forget The Magnificent Seven and The Famous Five, instead... prepare to encounter Six Masterpieces from the fertile mind of Wayne Dobson.

The six jaw-droppingly good routines in this book were originally destined to be either marketed, as individual tricks, or unleashed on the unsuspecting magic world in the form of, what would have had to be, a high priced DVD. However, in these times of economic uncertainty, rather than put you to all that expense... Wayne has saved you a small fortune by publishing them all in this little book, which has cost you a fraction of what just one of the tricks would have cost as a marketed item.

To do this, he has had to put his thinking cap on and adapt all six routines so that you will be able to perform them with props that you either already have, will be able to buy or can make at very little cost. My personal favourite is Once upon a Time - a routine which truly has a fairy tale ending! Wayne has cleverly built the prop for this item into the book itself.... genius!

Settle down now, fasten your safety belts, extinguish those cigarettes and enjoy the company of; Best Friends, Amnesia, Only Joking, Every Time, Perspiration and The Once upon a Time.

As any escapologist will tell you, they will also fit most other makes. including Smith and Wesson etc.

A chosen card is placed into the GHOST CARD FRAME, and the entire frame is covered with a silk. The silk is then removed to reveal the card has vanished. Magician reaches into his pocket and reveals the chosen card and puts it back into the frame. It is covered once more by the silk. The silk is then removed and the frame reveals another card. The magician asks if the card is indeed the chosen card. The audience states it is not and the magician hastily covers the frame with the silk. The silk is then removed to reveal the chosen card.

Packs flat for carrying... Assuming that you actaully use it and not just keep it on your shelf in your extensive Mikame collection!

Jimmy Nuzzo and Edward Marlo Collaborated on card magic that is visual and confounding because of sophisticated sleight of hand. It is these secrets that have formulated some of the most fooling magic ever created.

“Any pulse-checking, hard-core cardmen in the late 60s, knew about Jimmy Nuzzo. If they didn’t get to see him in person, they were familiar with the select ideas he published—ideas that probably seemed celestial at the time but were nevertheless interesting and enticing.” - from Jon Racherbaumer’s Prologue

In the Nuzzo Touch there is Jimmy’s audience-tested repertoire. It includes his fabulous Side Steal and lightning-fast Card to the Pocket.

The book incorporates three hard-to-find, private manuscripts that Nuzzo and Marlo published in the 1980’s, Plus Package; Unforgettable Wild Card; and 21 st Century Card Magic. Jimmy invented the Hung Card, one of the most tightly held secrets in magic

His thirteenth (and possibly best) book on magic, looks back on his more than 70 years of experience with the conjuring arts and considers some of its most enduring mysteries, intriguing questions and fascinating personalities.

From legendary effects such as Robert-Houdin's Light & Heavy Chest and the Indian Rope Trick to the origins of dove magic, ventriloquism and automata, Extending Magic Beyond Credibility has the famous Booth blend of secrets, biography, philosophy and romantic history.

Whether you're a student of magic history or simply one fascinated with the art and its many facets, you'll find Extending Magic Beyond Credibility is more than just a book of magic history. It's a captivating read you'll find difficult to put down, written by a man who not only knows his subject...but who lived it as well.

The performer tears a few pages from a current copy of Time, Business Week, or Newsweek magazine, giving the pages to people in the audience. They pass them on to others, ensuring a random selection of helpers. The Mentalist, with two of the helpers, illustrates how our eyes are attracted by the clever placement of text or graphics in almost all magazine editorials and ads. One participant's page is torn into more than a dozen pieces to guarantee a random outcome by eliminating any bias resulting from the page layout. Obviously, every scrap has totally different printed content on both sides. While the mindreader's back is turned , the participant freely discards all but one piece which he holds between his forefinger and thumb for everyone (except the Mentalist) to see. After verbally ensuring that the helper can read numerous words and phrases on the scrap of paper, and while the performer's back remains turned toward the participant, he says, "I am visualizing part of a word but it's somewhat obscured by your thumb. Move your thumb over, please. That's better. Would you please read for the first time that which Business Week printed on the piece of magazine page you chose. I believe the word " soared " was under your thumb. Is that correct?" He exclaims, " YES !"

No stooges No assistants No pre-show work No sleights No switches No writing No mirrors Nothing added or taken away Helper can stand across the room No electronics Unbreakable Not the same words every time Fully examinable, even the discarded scraps! Eye Candy's "gaffus" is sufficient for up to 100 performances

You invite two people from the audience to assist. The two books, The Hidden Canvas and The Tenth Addition, are presented to the spectators, and the first spectator is asked to choose one of the two books. You hand the chosen book to the first spectator and hand the other book to the second spectator.

A third spectator is asked to think of a number between 1 and 100. Let's say this third spectator's name is "Tom". You say, "Tom is thinking of a number. That number represents a page in your books. Please turn to that page." Of course they can't, because they don't know the number. The natural and only solution is to have Tom announce his number. When the number is revealed, the first two spectators are asked to turn to that page in their books. Upon doing this, you reveal to both of them what the first word is at the top of the page in each of their books!

Comes complete with two specially printed books and a manuscript detailing various routines.

"I don’t normally sell other peoples effects, and I have never before performed a ‘Book Test’. Economicon has forced me to make an exception. Economicon is so good that I am now performing it on a regular basis. Two books, a spectator chooses ANY book. They choose ANY page and think of a word and you tell them the word that they are thinking of! It’s that direct! It’s so easy! Highly recommended!" - Wayne Dobson

Just as you figure there cannot be anything new or better in invisible threads...

Here are a few words from the creator: As a thread worker I have tested all available threads on the market and found I needed something a little different. I wanted something that combined strength with the highest invisibility Possible. After many years I believe I have achieved that goal with Black Dragon Invisible Thread.

My thread is available in two colours Black for normal working conditions And a Unique light blue colour for working under lighter conditions. You will see that both thread's are not straight because of the way they are prepared. This makes them more invisible. They also have a springy quality which makes them much harder to break in performance compared to other threads.

Black Dragon come with 30ft of Invisible thread and stripping instruction sheet

Finally after however many years the is project has been on my shelf I have managed to finish the instructions and make a batch of this great classic trick.

The Effect: The magician fans and spreads though a deck of cards and shows both sides to be completely blank. He concentrates on a playing card (which he names), cuts the deck, and magically prints the face of that card! But, it has no back. The rest of the deck is shown still blank. Next a back appears but it has no face. Now he makes faces and backs appear on all the cards, which are clearly shown on both sides. Finally all the printing disappears and the magician ends up where he started with a completely blank deck of cards. Completely self contained, an ideal trick for table-hopping. Instantly ready for a repeat performance.

This is the Classic Ken Brooke style cut "on the slant" you can show both sides of the deck at any time. Printed or blank, front and back!

This was, and still is the ultimate version of R.W. HULL'S "Mental Photography / Nudist - Deck" as made by the great Ken Brooke.

Painstakingly crafted here at the Top Secret HQ. I promise you you won't be disappointed! "M"

Genuine Ex Police Hiatt Skeleton Handcuffs

I have managed to get hold of a couple of pairs of these unusual cuffs. They were released without the plastic grip between them as was the usual case. Hence the "skeleton" title.

Nickel plated steel construction. Top quality, made in the UK. Just released from a Government reserve stock

Serial numbers are removed so there are some grinding scars on one face. Checked and in full working order

This is a wonderful effect from Viking/Collectors' Workshop. Great props, all hand made.

The performer elects to have a person from the audience play the part of a Voodoo priest.

"Someone in this audience is going to experience unimaginable pain as a result of this gentleman's action!", states the performer. A cloth Voodoo doll is displayed, an effigy representing some unknown person in the room. "Please take these pins and at your discretion, insert them into the doll, any where you like. You can use all five pins or one or two, it is completely up to you. Your choice will determine the amount of pain and agony the victim will experience."

Once the spectator has completed his task, a scream is heard and a person shakes violently as a result of the Voodoo curse. A plaque which had been shown earlier, encased in a black vinyl sleeve is revealed and to the surprise of all, the exact locations chosen by the 'Voodoo priest' are marked on the figure silk-screened on the plaque!

The effect was designed and written by written by George Robinson Jr. and leads the audience down a path that suddenly takes a turn. The tension of the spooky and bizarre rite is suddenly broken by the comical reactions of the performer, culminating in a mysterious and baffling prediction.

Note: Instant reset; no stooges, no force of any kind, nothing is written down, etc. The spectator has complete control over how many pins he or she uses and complete control over where he chooses to insert the pins. The outcome is always 100% correct.

Comes complete with detailed instructions, hand-crafted Voodoo Doll, pins, custom silk-screened plaque and vinyl sleeve.

Great for walk around. Will work well for most situations due to the size of the props. You will love the method. Honest!

Gary Jones is very well known for creating 100% commercial routines, which play as well to the Lay Spectator as they do to magicians. Thought Wave is no exception! With Thought Wave Gary and Mark has taken a principle and given it a new lease of life with an incredible mind reading card routine.

You start by writing a prediction (sight unseen) on a business card, Post- it note etc. The card is folded and placed on full view on the table.

A small card which contains 52 different symbols is examined by your spectator who then merely thinks of one of the symbols.

You now write something on another card and once again fold it and place it in full view. At this point you have committed to two predictions without your spectator giving you any information.

You then ask your spectator to draw his symbol on the outside of the first piece of paper. The second prediction is now placed onto the spectators hand and they name aloud the first playing card that comes in to their mind (absolutely no force) they now write their thought of card on your second prediction.

You now draw attention to a deck of cards which has been on the table since the start of the effect. The cards are removed and shown to have images on the back of each one. You remove their freely chosen card and the card with the freely chosen image on its back.

I bet you can see where this is going!! Your spectator now opens your first prediction (the one they have drawn their image on) and it reads the 5 of clubs. When they turn over the card it is in fact the 5 of clubs!! You now state that the second prediction was even harder as the spectator could name any card. When they open prediction number 2 they see you have drawn a clock. They turn over their freely named card only to reveal a clock on the back!!!

This really is a 100% commercial routine that has been well thought out and packs a very big punch!

No Memory Work, Instant Reset, No Switching of Predictions in any way, No Sleight Of Hand Totally Self Working.

Comes Complete With Special Deck, Plastic Symbol Card and full instructional DVD which includes both Gary Jones's and Peter Nardi's handlings of the effect.

Back in stock again... Direct from the inventor himself so I can keep these at a sensible price! In fact I believe currently the best in the UK! selling often at around £20. NOTE these are the original "Rocco" D'Lites NOT copies from china! Superbright and long lasting!

One of the greatest classic tricks of the last few years! Just imagine your audience’s amazement when you reach into thin air with a hand that’s clearly empty and pluck a glowing ball of red light out of nowhere! You can pass the light from hand to hand, make it vanish and reappear, etc, (you will need 2 to perform transpositions etc.) A staple item in the acts of professional magicians world-wide, the incredible D’Lite is also amazingly simple to perform.

Show your hands empty, then pluck bright lights out of the air, pass them from hand to hand, and make them disappear...Pretend to put one in your mouth, and pull it out of your ear. Put it back in your ear, only to be found back in your mouth ...Hold an ice cube in your bare hands, and make it glow, at your command...Play "catch" with a friend (make sure he’s small and durable). Just kidding. "Toss" the D'Lite, not your friend...Make a plain white napkin develop a bright glow, and no one but you knows how...Take a drink, and pull a light out of your mouth. Was that a light beer?

Roll back your sleeve and start talking about things like "pain thresholds," "surgical procedures," "incisions," "puncture wounds," and other grisly subjects. Display a gleaming, 9-inch-long needle, glinting in the stage light. "This," you say, "is a replica of a traditional voodoo needle, used for the old pin-in-doll routine you've probably heard about. Stick a pin in a doll that looks like your enemy, and supposedly, you'd hurt them at the exact spot the pin was inserted."

Setting the needle back on the table, clean your arm with a towel, and hold it up for all to see. Then, picking up the needle, plunge it into the bare flesh of your forearm! There is no hiding it - the needle has been thrust through the flesh, plain and simple.

The cold, hard steel is run back and forth through the wound, which begins to bleed. The spectators let out a collective "Eeeewwww!"

Surprisingly, none of this seems to bother you, as you continue to patter about "mind over matter."

Indeed, even though the blood continues to flow down your arm at a steady rate, you seem unconcerned. Slowly and deliberately remove the needle from your arm in full view of the audience. A sterile towel is used to clean off the blood. Amazingly, your arm is unharmed. Perhaps, despite the pseudo-scientific lecture and the amazingly realistic nature of the demonstration, it was just another cunning dodge - a trick of the imagination, perhaps.

Complete with:
• Needle w/screw-off bulb
• Harry Anderson's stage Blood
• Glue
• Harry's complete written routine
• DVD video of Harry performing his routine

The STAT Needle Thru Arm Gimmick looks like one of those alcohol pads from a First Aid Kit, you know, sealed in a little aluminum pouch. In reality, it's rubber cement!

Set up right in front of your audience! There's no need to treat your skin in advance. Tear open the "alcohol" swab and dab it on during the routine. Folks will just think you're prepping your arm for the needle!

In fact, these look so real you can even use them on a member of the audience. Needle Through Their Arm!

The STAT Needle Through Arm Gimmick includes 12 disposable pouches, ready to go!

Don't be fooled by cheaper imitations of this effect this is the original and very best! And of course you get "STAT" Which makes this outstanding value for money!

Here is a stunning cabaret, close up or stage effect which is fast gaining Max Gordon who lives in Scotland a fantastic reputation.

This is what it is all about: A spectator is chosen (totally at random) and is handed a take-away menu from a Pizza Delivery Company.

“In your mind, please make your choice from the menu and think about what time you would like it delivered during this show. (Time chosen to be within the performance duration) ideally between experiments that are to follow.

The spectator is then asked to stand up and shout, “It’s Pizza Time” when the time he has in his mind has arrived. (Comedy opportunity here for rehearsal are brilliant.)

When the time arrives and the spectator stands up and calls out that it is Pizza Time, the performer then provides a quick re-cap of what has taken place so far. “You Sir were chosen at random. We have not met nor spoken prior to the show, is that correct? I asked you to mentally select a Pizza topping and the exact time when it should be delivered.

Is that correct?" (Yes). For the first time, please confirm at what time you stood up. What kind of Pizza did you choose?" (Let's say he chose Ham and Pineapple).

The performer now hands a delivery note (that has been on the table all evening) to the spectator who is asked to read out exactly what is written on top of the delivery note: "My name. Address and post code" says the spectator”.
"Is the address spelt correctly?" asks the performer. "Yes” is the reply.

"Ham and Pineapple" confirms the spectator. And what did you actually choose and the spectator replies that he actually chose Ham and Pineapple..

"So I have correctly predicted who would choose which Pizza and the delivery address!. Guess what I have here," asks the performer holding what appears to be a square box covered by a large napkin*. Everyone will of course assume it is a real pizza in the box.

"For various reasons It would be impractical for me to have brought along a real pizza, but just to prove I knew exactly when you would want your pizza delivered, I brought this along”.

The performer lifts a napkin to reveal a square pizza Box. The performer then lifts out the contents of the box revealing it to be a full size kitchen clock. The clock is then turned towards the audience to show that the time has been set for exactly the same time as that chosen by the spectator and the clock is not moving at all.. The performer does not have to move any buttons or physically alter the time on the clock and everything is clean and smooth. The back is then shown to have no battery (in fact tape is over the battery compartment). And as it is a battery operated clock it is impossible for it to have kept the time without batteries.

As a consolation for not getting a real Pizza, the spectator gets to keep the clock with the performer's compliments.

The clock is not faked in any way and the performer does not have to set the clock manually as it is lifted out of the box. If you wish as the clock is not faked at all it can be given away. Replacement kitchen clocks can be obtained from the £1 shops in most towns and although the shops are described as £1 shops it could cost about £2 maximum. A small electronic gizmo does the dirty work and the rest is explained in the instructions. Everything needed is supplied except one minor item that is in the pocket of most mentalists and which can be obtained from your favorite magic dealer.

Its amazing what I find when I start searching through the odd boxes tucked away! When Danny lectured for us many years ago I stocked many of his items. This was one of my favorites. I have found three sets in one of my "boxes" Now discontinued, here is a chance to get something a litlle different!

The story revolves around a small town astronomer (a card is selected, say the King of Spades, from a blue deck to represent the astronomer), who spots an alien space ship (really a manila envelope with a picture of a spaceship on the front), which lands on the outskirts of town. The spaceship's door opens, and the aliens emerge. You show four cards with beautiful colorful pictures of aliens on both sides. One of the aliens is removed and heads to town (the deck) to investigate. The astronomer has set out to spy on the aliens. When he sneezes, they grab him (the blue backed King of Spades is added to the remaining three alien cards), and using some unknown alien technology, the aliens change their appearance and you show four blue backed Kings of Spades! The astronomer escapes, the alien who went to town returns, and the cards change back into four green aliens! The aliens climb back in their ship and blast off and the Earth is saved! A clever, timely story. Beautifully made cards, includes envelope with the picture of the alien spaceship.

Introducing a game of "Russian Roulette" you will be able to demonstrate the talents and skills used by the security industry to assess risks and dangerous situations.

The spectator is shown six cards, numbered 1 - 6 and told that they represent the chambers in a six shot revolver. They are then asked to freely select any number and that will be the chamber in which the "live bullet" will be loaded.

With the cards in full view at all times you are able to produce a card from your wallet that has also been in full view that identifies the exact number chosen. But wait, there's more you turn over all the numbered cards to show they are blank but when you turn over the spectators chosen card it shows a picture of a smoking gun.

Including an extra variation of the routine with a hilarious punch that hits not once, not twice but three times. Leaving your spectators bewildered astonished and a little frightened too.

Loaded is a very strong mentalism effect that can be performed as close up, cabaret or even on stage.

Comes complete with instructional DVD, high quality Z-fold wallet, 2 envelopes and 14 full color laminated cards.

Nothing in card magic wows a spectator more than the colour changing deck. That is why so many magicians use one in there act.

Gary Jones has created a packet trick that combines a great psychological presentation with a knockout colour change ending and because there are only a few cards used in the effect its perfect to carry in your wallet.

As a bonus we also include Gary’s great Colour Remix effect. Colour Remix is an easy to do, fun to perform oil and water routine that has a killer kicker of the backs changing colour at the end!!

Comes complete with all the cards you need to perform both routines as well as a full instructional DVD outlining in detail both routines.

Back in stock... Our Biggest and best ever seller... Getting the cards is getting more difficult as time goes by but at last...

Once in a while I have the privilege to be the exclusive distributor of a great new effect! Wow! This is outstanding and has impressed many of the best working professional magicians in the business today!

Gary is one the countries Top Professional WORKING Magicians. He eats, breathes and lives magic 24 hours a day if he's not performing he is coming up with a dozen different ways to produce the same effect until he finds the very best and most effective way. Finally Gary has been persuaded to part with some of his best effects... I am proud to say Gary has been a close friend of mine for many years and has asked me to make and distribute them for him... The first of these is here...

After placing a deck of cards on the table the Magician asks a spectator to THINK of both a number between 1-52 and any one of the 52 playing cards in a deck but not say anything yet! Then in full view writes two predictions on the reverse of his business card, a number and a playing card… Only now does the spectator tell him what number and card they were thinking of and these are then written under the magicians predictions. Taking the deck of cards, the magician explains that on the backs of the cards are written the numbers 1-52 in a random order. He now searches through the faces of the cards and removes the spectator's thought of card, turning the deck over and searching through the backs, he then finds the card with the spectator's thought of number on it. On the reverse of the spectators thought of card is the number the magician predicted. And on the face of the card with the thought of number is the very playing card he predicted.

Remember… Only one deck is used - which is on view BEFORE the trick commences. The Predictions are made BEFORE the spectator says anything! No Sleights, no Forcing, no Rough & Smooth! And it instantly resets

This truly is the perfect working performers miracle! As you can guess I like this one! "M"

At last after more years than I care to remember, finally released... My personal masterpiece!

The Master of Escape and Disguise the Scarlet Pimpernel escapes time and time again!

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!

At long last the difficult task of reprinting the entire Spellbinder Magazine has been completed. In the three volumes there are over 700 pages of close up magazine edited by Stephen Tucker. Over 50 contributors provided effects and there are a total of 354 effects within the three volumes.

The list of contributors is overwhelming with the very best of the close up workers from around providing brilliant material which editor Stephen Tucker badgered them into contributing. David Britland alone contributed 40 items, there were 6 new effects from Basil Horwitz, 4 from Jerry Sadowitz, 2 from Gazzo, 5 from Gordon Bruce, 3 from Roy Walton,. To continue the list: 9 from Phil Goldstein, 12 from Reinhard Muller, 5 from Al Smith 2 from Bobby Bernard, 4 from Harvey Rosenthal, 7 from Ian Land, 12 from Paul Brignal, 7 from Peter Duffie, 6 from Roger Curzon, 6 from Shiv Duggal, 7 from Wayne Dobson and 109 from Stephen Tucker.

Other distinguished contributors include: Alex East, Bill Worsley, Colin Linn, Daniel Kalanofski, Dave Hambly, David Austin, David Robertson, Derek Robbins, Don Allessadnro Riario-Sforza, Dr Peter Moffat, Joe Dignam, John Fealey, John McClements, Mark Lee, Mark Russell, Martin Breese, Pascal Monmoine, Roger Crosthwaite, Simon Whitby, Steven Hamilton, Ted Lesley, Tim Gan (who under a new name was behind the famous pop group, Bomb the Base), Walt Lees and many more.

The Spellbinder magazine has been scanned from the original issues most of which are now unobtainable. Many of the pages were tidied up where text was difficult to read and the three volumes have been digitally printed on good quality paper by one of the leading digital printers in the country.

Imagine being able to take control of the very thoughts, perceptions, and responses of your audience. Picture your audiences' amazement when they really can not explain the trick because the magic is done with words, not sleights or props. This is what Wonder Words will teach you. It is prestidigitation of the mind.

It's finally here, the audio book everyone has been waiting for. After lots of prodding from Larry Becker, Jeff McBride, Docc Hilford, Dr. Juris, Lee Earle and many other pros, Kenton has agreed to part with the information that he has kept under tight wraps to all but a very select few. Whether you're a magician or mentalist, Kentons' secrets will radically alter your work and the reaction to it. Revealed are the verbal tools used by top psychologists to influence and control clients' actions and attitudes. This is not a dissertation on hypnosis, this is Wonder Words - The Art of Linguistic Deception.

For starters: Wouldn't it be great if people constantly talked about a trick they saw you perform when in fact you NEVER EVER did that trick at all? Just think of it! There is a secret way to simply tell a story and cause people to believe they actually SAW YOU PERFORM the trick, when all you did was TALK ABOUT IT! (No, it isn't "hypnosis"). In Volume One, you were (As Michael Close said) "Totally Blown Away" by how easy it was to greatly improve your performance by changing a few simple words. Volume Two -- The Real Work offers equally simple techniques that achieve even more startling results. Still want more? Well of course there are killer effects as part of the package. Like how to cause a spectator to TRAVEL THROUGH TIME and come back with PHYSICAL PROOF. This is directly from Kenton's act. Yes all the little touches Kenton uses are there as always. What else? How about an "Invisible Deck" routine with no deck at all? No stooges or other sneaky set ups either. The spectator just MIMES taking a card from thin air, and you can TELL them what they chose (No it isn't some silly mathematical thing either). Another diabolical effect is a never before published telephone trick. Already several performers are using this bit to book thousands of dollars in extra performances.... You can too!

Kenton ends the series with a BANG including contributions from Jeff McBride, Dan Harlan, Joel Bauer, Docc Hilford, and MORE. This final volume will leave you breathless! The book alone is over 50 pages in length, with detailed effects direct from the acts of working pros. There is also a complete and precise index to BOTH Volumes Two AND Three, for easy reference (Volume One has its own index). And Volume Three is JAM-PACKED, the biggest volume ever!

Card College is a modern classic. It is without a doubt the most important work on sleight of hand with cards. This is the first volume in a series of five. The speciality of this electronic book are its 89 video clips, which show how Giobbi executes each and every technique described.

Please note that there are significant differences between the latest printed edition of "Card College 1" and this ebook, beside the video clips. This ebook was based on the German edition "Grosse Kartenschule 1" which has a somewhat different selection of chapters than the English one from Hermetic Press. One could say it is the author's cut: Chapter 9 'The Glimpse' in this ebook appears in volume 2 of the Hermetic Press series. On the other hand chapters 13, 14, 15 and 16 from the Hermetic Press book are missing in this ebook. They will be available in the electronic Card College 2.

Beside the chapter differences between the paper edition and this ebook, Giobbi added about 20 new pages to "Card College 1" since the latest printing. There have been numerous additions particularly to the 'Final Notes' and 'Check Points' sections. Chapter 1 has a new section on the card case.You might think that opening a card case is a trivial matter. Not so, says Roberto, who disects this process into its smallest part and gives you plenty of good reasons why you should know all these details. A new routine 'Further than that...' was added to Chapter 5 'Force Techniques Part 1'. And finally the 'Bibliographic Notes' have been updated and extended.

WANTED! Jack Carpenter for slaying audiences with high-powered card magic. Last known crime scenes - MULTIPLEX RESET - The suspect took four aces, signed by an innocent bystander, changed them one by one into kings, then caused the kings to instantly change back into aces. When asked where the kings were gone, the suspect produced them, each from a different pocket. By now the aces have vanished! When the bystander demanded to know where his aces were, the suspect brought each signed ace again from a different pocket!
NO TABLE ACES - The suspect was plainly seen to insert three face up aces into three different locations in a face down deck. He placed the ace of spades face up on top of the pack. Each time he riffled the cards a face-up ace rose to the top to join the ace of spades, until all four aces had gathered there. Then, with a final riffle, he forced the aces to return to their original positions in the deck! The suspect is also known to be expert at stacking and switching decks; dealing seconds, centers, and bottoms; and is said by reliable witnesses to be a master of the "Seattle Switch" and "West Coast Cooler." If seen at a card table, approach with caution. He is known to be armed and dangerous. As yet, no charges have been filed, as all his victims' report enjoying being fooled by him.
Hardbound, 163 pages.

Here is a hardbound volume of super sessions with the legendary card master, Edward Marlo. Marlo's last three lectures were held in the eighties in St, Louis, Las Vegas, and Niagara Falls. There were a very limited number of lecture notes printed for these lectures and they quickly became collector's items. Here is everything reprinted in one 240 page hardbound book. 40 effects, over 300 illustrations, 29 sleights. If you appreciate advanced, fully finessed sleights then you will love these techniques. Even beginners can learn many of these effects and experts will appreciate the more advanced ones. Learn a "surefire" psychological stop trick, a Hamman signed card that will fool magicians, and much more. Three lecture notes of power packed inside information on card magic from Ed Marlo.

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.

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.

The magician shows a black Ball Point Pen, removes its cap and places it inside his pocket.. He clearly shows it on all sides. His hands are otherwise empty. Holding the pen between the fingers of both hands and caressing it, the pen changes its color to either red, green, or blue. (all colors supplied) But that's not all; making a magical gesture with one of his hands, he also makes the cap appear with the same new color.

The pen may now be used or handed to the spectator. It is completely safe to examine.

You are supplied with three colored pens so that you can repeat the effect. The pen is NOT switched during the performance.

After 10 minutes of practice you'll have it down pat. Comes complete with gimmick, pens and detailed instructions.

Back on the market after a very long absence... And even more popular than ever...

A spectator chooses a card. The performer then says he will reveal the card in a most unusual way. He picks up a piece of wire, (his new magic wand?) And applies some heat to it. As the wire heats up, it twists around until it forms the shape of the selected card! An incredibly visual way of revealing a card. They'll want to see this again!

You can use hot liquid or a flame (lighter or candle). Really cool effect. You will get a great reaction with this!

Four spectators are asked to select a card. You then take out a sheet of newspaper and a pair of scissors. You make one cut and opening the paper the image of the first card is revealed on the sheet of paper. Refolding the paper, another single cut is made, and the unfolded paper now matches the second selection. Repeat this a third time, and the next card is revealed. Finally you make a last cut, and then holding up the paper the final card appears with a twist.

Also included is the "Tossed out deck", you wrap the deck in a rubber band. Throw it out into the audience and four spectators peek at a card one at a time throwing the deck from person to person. You ask them to stand and think of the card, you will name the cards, and if their card is named you want them to sit down. Of course you name all four cards and they all sit down!

This is From DP magic in Japan. Very high quality props. Altho the cards are not Bicycle they are very good quality, and this is an incredibly good price just for a tossd out deck alone!

Now available with or without hidden magnet. Both units are quality Viking products. Both supplied with detailed instructions.

NEW VERSION WITH ADDED FEATURES NOT FOUND IN THE KNOCK-OFF VERSIONS! This is the original Lippencott/Martin version of the Lippencott Box, as made by Haenchen for Harold Martin with new magnetic feature.

A borrowed and marked coin vanishes only to appear in a small padlocked box all while in full view.

A spectator marks a borrowed quarter for identification. This is placed within the folds of a handkerchief and held by spectator. Next, a small-padlocked chest (2x2x1) is shown and placed on the spectator's open palm. A magical pass and the hank is whisked away revealing that the coin has vanished. Attention is drawn to the chest, which has been under the spectator's control throughout. He opens the chest himself and finds the marked coin inside!

Remember: The chest is in full view before the coin vanishes. The coin found in the chest is the actual marked coin.

NEW ADDITION: 1. Our box is now slightly larger to accommodate US Silver Dollar sized coins. 2. We have added a hidden magnet to the base for some really great transpositions and penetration effects. All you need is a steel shim coin. 3. New, updated instructions with various routines.

“So often when I have been booked for ‘Close Up’ & ‘Table Hopping’ work, approaching each table and creating ‘Performance Space’ is not always as easy as you would like…When my good friend James Cooper brought this idea to me I was instantly able to see the benefits of this fabulous accessory…being able to just walk up and attach it to any table of your choice was a ‘Close Up’ magician’s dream come true! No more clearing of plates, glasses and cutlery…leave that job to the waitresses! And more importantly no more bulging pockets. Simply flip over the Perspex Table Top and you are ready to begin, instantly creating a safe place for all your props and routines, and an elevated performance space that is raised up from the table surface and everyone can see ‘the magic’ quite clearly…This accessory is stylish and practical and will revolutionize Close Up & Strolling Magic to another level…” - Colin Rose

This simple but brilliantly practical idea has to be the latest ‘must have item’ for any ‘Close Up Magician’ who works regularly at Restaurants, Bars and any ‘Close Up’ Venue where you are working to tables…This specially designed accessory features a circular PETG durable Perspex Table Top, which creates an instant ‘performance area ‘ without having to move glasses and cutlery clear first….the Signature Red Corduroy Bag attached to ‘The Hopper’, keeps all your props safe and easily accessible during your performance…and ‘The Hopper’ frame which has been made from Aluminum just clips onto the edge of any table top or bar, allowing you to stroll around the room or Bar area with ease…the frame is fitted with small rubber studs which keep the frame stable and safe to use on the table edges without damage…after your show “The Hopper” flat packs into your briefcase for safe keeping and ready for your next performance…

* This Brand New Product was a SELL Out at IBM & FFAP Conventions, if you work Restaurants & Tables...you have to have "The Hopper"!

This is the second release of the popular ‘Close Up Drawer’, the first was issued as a Commission Only item as part of The Wayne Dobson’s A Kind of Magic, this new version has been given a contemporary look by using a polished aluminium edge, the box is jointed and the drawer corners are left

exposed to showcase the warm shades of the Mahogany and the joints themselves…the drawer handle is made of ‘Bog Oak’ which was found locally and it has been carbon dated to circa 12,000 years old…this unique and rare material is half way between wood & coal and when turned takes a beautiful and highly polished finish. The Drawers are made up in two sizes, the larges measures approx 15” x 12” inches and the smaller version 12” x 7” inches, each has a black baize interior and will hold Coins, Card Boxes, Sponge Balls, Cards and all your close up needs…….the drawer when used in performance can be used to store your material, but when placed onto a table of performing surface it will focus your audience to the spot where the Magic is happening .

Once again sorting thro the draws I found I had one of these left...

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.
Finally the paddle is given out for minute inspection.

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)
Includes photo-illustrated instruction sheet and pouch.

Vanishing "Flaming" Torch - Ronaldo /Parx

A flaming torch with a 8" flame vanishes in the blink of an eye...

The magician holds in his hand a metal rod, the end of the rod is touched with a lit match and the rod catches fire giving off a flame 8 inches high ! In the blink of an eye the torch changes into a beautiful silk ,confetti ,dove or just vanished ... endless choices !

Levent teaches his own handling of this now classic effect, using a special single dye tube and no body loads!

Complete with the dye tube, the silks and a comprehensive 50 minute DVD.

The respected professional magician and magic dealer Denny Haney said the following about Levent’s new effect in his newsletter:

“I consider this to be the very best half dyed hank routine EVER! Practical in every way and a total fooler.

This classic effect was made popular by Billy McComb and Levent has taken this to a new level with a more direct and less complicated version using only one gimmick...This comes complete with the gimmick, the silks, and an amazingly thorough DVD which explains the history of the effect right from the beginning showing many different types of gimmicks and their handlings. You will learn David Devant's Silk Dyeing, The Harry Kellar silk production using the Nikko Ball, the Stillwell Ball, Salvano's handling with the hand held gimmick, the Paul Fox Design, the complete Julius Dresbach Routine, the Stewart Judah move with the Rice Palmo Gimmick, the Paul Schoffler gimmick vanish, and then finally Levent's complete routine in every detail. It's never been done any better or explained any better. Levent has done it again!”

I have a strange fasination with mirrors, the fact that can can refelect an image that it cannot see... freaky!!! Perhaps thats why I find this illusion so fasinating. The basic secret of this dice trick goes back many many years, the addition of the mirror has added a whole new dimention!

With the mirror held in the spectator's hand, you place the uncolored dice onto the mirror and the reflection on the mirror shows a fully colored dice! The dice is revolved around atop the mirror to show that indeed the reflections on all sides are colored.

Removing the dice from the mirror and giving it a magical wave, the dice now becomes colored and the reflection of the spots is uncolored!

Finally, you remove both, the die from the mirror... And its reflection! You now have two dice! One Colored one Uncolored... Damn Freaky!

Whilst reordering Wonder Lock one of my favorites and also one of my best selling tricks Mick offered me his Supalok. Some would say The Ultimate Lock & Key Effect. After much research and development, Master Locksmith Mick Hanzlik has finally come up with the ultimate lock.

The performer hands out a brass bodied padlock, familiar to just about everybody, and four keys. From this moment, the performer does not touch the lock or keys. He asks the spectator to find the only key that will open the lock. All four keys are tried, but none of them will open the lock. The performers then says, "That's because I've got the only key that works." He then gives the spectator this fifth key and it opens the lock. The open lock is then locked onto the spectator's finger ring, jacket buttonhole, etc. and the keys are mixed up. The performer then says that he will use his powers to try to influence the selection of the correct key.

The spectator chooses a key, and this is discarded. He chooses three more, which are also discarded, leaving just one. He tries this key and the lock opens!

Performer NEVER touches the lock or keys during performance
ALL the keys are different
Lock is a normal looking Brass Padlock
NO false moves at all (after all, the spectator has the lock!)
Precision internal mechanism ... resets in one second!

MINI (40mm - same size as WONDERLOCK) £75.00)
MIDI (50mm) £125.00
MAXI (60mm) £135

Please note these are made to order so will take a couple of extra days to reach you

Another root thru the old draws found I have 2 of these... I thought they were on the site but no!

Joe Porper's paddles are the standard to which all other paddle tricks should be compared. His are clearly the best. Made of lightweight aluminum, then black anodized. The machining of each paddle is precise. And, the magic is wonderful! It is a wonderful spot multiplication paddle with a very unique method. This one will fool them all! Four different changes and only two sides. The spots do not move and the paddle may be examined. othing is added or taken away. Whether you are a collector or a performer, this is a must have! Expert machining and a clever method make this a real sought-after collectable by Joe Porper.

Gary Jones Live Lecture - DVD

Sales of Garys Live lecture DVD have been so popular that Gary has aked me to sort him out a limited run for his lectures! So here they are...

As you probably well know by now Gary has been good friend to me for nearly 2 decades... Whoops, sorry Gary didn't mean to let on how old we both are! What I ment was... Gary is the consumate professional. He is want we all want / NEED to be. On this DVD you find material that is genuinely useable in the REAL world.

1. Coins to Pocket - A coin repeatedly vanishes from the performer's hand and appears in many different pockets of the spectator. This is a real lesson in sleight-of-hand, audience management and misdirection. This routine will teach you how to load coins, cards or just about anything into people's pockets with ease!

2. Starter For 10 - You show an order pad (like the type used by waiting staff) and instantly the pad changes into a full deck of cards. This is a superb opener for the restaurant magician! Easily made up in less than one minute with items you probably have lying around.

3. 3Fly Plus - This is Gary's version of this classic. Three silver dollar coins are magically produced (each coin is handled by the spectators), two of the coins visually vanish at the fingertips, these are again produced from the spectator's ear and jacket; the other coin now visually vanishes and appears back in the pocket. All three coins now travel from one hand to the other one at the time and at the very fingertips, each coin now completely vanishes in a most magical way. You are now left 100% clean and reset for the next table!!

4. Sponge Ball Surprise - If you do the sponge balls then you will love Gary's solution to the 'multi ball' climax without the hassle of picking up the balls. This routine also teaches you how to make your volunteers the stars of the show with very clever spectator management and clever routining This routine is perfect for the table hopper/strolling magician is now a firm favorite with many professionals!

5. Prediction Die - The magician places a prediction on view, spectator throws an imaginary die and calls out the number it landed on, prediction matches, or does it?! 100% self-working.

7. Repeat Signed Cards to Pocket - Three cards are selected, signed and lost in the deck, one by one each card jumps to a different pocket, now without any moves the cards instantly jump back into the pockets. Yes they are really back in the pockets and the spectator can even remove the cards themselves!!! This is a stunning routine and a real magician fooler!!

8. Ring and Pins - A borrowed finger ring jumps off a MARKED safety pin held in your right hand and onto another safety pin held in your left hand, everything can be examined. Visually stunning and very easy to do!

9. 6 Cards to Pocket - Arguably the best method for the cards to pocket out there. This routine has received rave reviews from some of the biggest names in the business.

10. Pseudo Hypno Coin - First you show off with some one coin juggling and then you "make you hand shrink" to a quarter of its size. This a quick and funny routine which establishes the performer and also lets the audience know they're in for some fun.

12. Pop Up Phone - The magician openly places two coins into his hand, instantly the coins change into a mobile phone. Very easy to do and 100% impromptu!

13. Mindful Coins - You show a small metal box which contains a prediction (a coin) and this is placed on full view. You now bring out a handful of different coins from all over the world, a spectator chooses any coin (no force). Both coins match. Remember no forces of any kind.

14. Telephone Prediction - A pack of cards is shown to have 52 different telephone numbers written on their backs. The magician writes a prediction on the back of his/her business card and this is given to someone to hold on to. Any card is now named and removed from the deck, the spectator who's been holding onto the business card is asked to read out what is written on the card, but cannot find any writing, all they can find on the business card are the magician's contact details - .Yes, the freely selected telephone number matches the performer's contact details!! This is an excellent way of handing out your business card in a very magical way!

15. Ambitious Card (Incorporating Pocket to Pocket) - This is Gary's take on the classic Ambitious Card but - Gary's Pocket to Pocket sequence will have both magicians and lay people scratching their heads in bewilderment. Stunning!

16. Ring and String Climax - When Bobby Bernard saw Gary perform this in Blackpool he said " You caught me that was excellent!" If you do a ring and string routine then this is the ending you have been waiting for!!

Also included on this DVD is Gary's Top Con Control, a very deceptive card control which is very easy to do. Plus loads of tips on misdirection, palming, audience management, timing, pocket management, working tables, working pre dinner drinks receptions, corporate etc.

Every effect on this DVD is instantly reset and ready to go again immediately, so if you're a strolling magician you won't ever have to keep disappearing and having to reset your props or pockets.

Probably the BEST trick of the last few years... It really does get WOW! reactions

This is with out doubt one of the most amazing close up illusions to have appeared in recent times, working on a very novel principle, and as happens with any good new magic idea, there are now several models floating around. This one is well made, and comes to you at a most affordable price.

Effect:
Imagine having a spectator freely select any card (no force). The card is signed and replaced back into the deck. You state that by magic you will make their card rise to the top of the deck. You snap your fingers and turn over the top card, while you are waiting for your big applause your spectator tells you it's not their card. (Of course not theres no signature on it Duh!)

Taking this "indifferent" card it is slid into a thin clear black plastic sleeve just large enough to hold the card.

While the sleeve is held between thumb and forefinger, the card face up! With no hand movement of any kind, the indifferent card slowly and visibly changes into the signed selection!

Your spectators will be saying "WOW" when they see this incredibly visual card change, which happens right in front of there eyes!

Exchanges :- Display the sleeve with back of a card showing, stating this is a prediction of a card spectator will select. Force a card (say the JS) on a spectator by your favourite method. Then turn over the sleeve to show a completely different card (say 6H), which is obviously wrong. Ask him to name his selected card and show it to the audience. Snap your fingers and the card in the sleeve visibly changes to JS, - no cover - the visual change is absolutely mind boggling. You now remove the JS from the sleeve, and hand it over for examination, showing the sleeve is otherwise completely empty.

Production :- Show empty sleeve. Force a card on spectator from a deck, then have the selected card visibly appear in the empty sleeve.

Vanish :- Start with a card showing in the sleeve. Snap your fingers, and the card visibly vanishes in a most uncanny manner. The card is now reproduced from some place else. If you have planted this in a spectator's pocket, or under his seat, it can be a very strong or funny effect. Play around with the prop, and you will discover several presentations for this very clever item.

This is really cool... I can honestly say to date every time I dem this it sells OUTSTANDING!

The Effect:
Somebody need a match? What a great excuse to intorduce this visual fest of magic from one small matchbox!

This match box will crawl and move about on your hand this way and that, even turn over... And as if that wasn't enough... The drawer of the box opens mysteriously of its own volition!!!

You then take a match out for them, close the box and put it back into your pocket. They will be absolutely frozen still with amazement!

"I've used many Acrobatic matchboxes but yoursare the best I've ever used" A happy customer...

The magician shows the audience six chips all with different colors on one side and an envelope with a prediction card inside. First the magician will turn over these chips leaving only the black side up. The chips are mixed up so they are in random order. Someone from the audience is asked to choose a chip and put it on top of the envelope. Finally the audience member is asked to open the envelope and take out the card with the prediction on it. The audience will be amazed to see that the card inside the envelope has foretold the future. The statement on the card has correctly predicted which color chip the audience member had selected!

Six very nice "chips" not your usual chips... (these are similar style to chips that "Mikame" used in his tricks)
Two cards with a different prediction statement on each! Yes when you repeat the trick it can be a different color!

These are PERFECT thimbles to use for the effects featured in "Joe Mogar's Digital Effects Book" and "The Thimble Dexterity DVD."

You reach out and pluck the flame from a cigarette lighter. Hold the flame between your right thumb and index finger. Transfer it to a candle and take it back again. Finally blow away flame vanishing it and showing your hands absolutely empty.

Use it to light a cigarette or ignite flash paper. Blow it out then reach out and grab another flame. Pick a flame from one candle and use it to light another...etc!

This is the ideal accessory for use with candle routines. This tip can be used as a gag or combined with flash string or paper, cigarettes, etc. This tip can also be useful for misdirectional purposes.

"A bit of history first, this effect is the brain child of Joe Riding, I have used in my own presentations for quite some time. Joe was a good friend. I loved the effect so much I designed a case to hold the entire setup. The case has a special pocket for the prediction card, and the main case is divided so the two halves do not mix into each other. The effect is included with kind permission of Joe Riding with my own handling. I think you will love it as I have. A beautiful prediction with a surprise twist. Very easy to do, and great entertainment." - Jerry O'Connell

Comes with a beautiful JOL Leather case to hold the entire effect, and cards made in Bicycle Poker size. This is an elegant stunner you will carry always. A card is selected from two halves of a deck by a spectator, the chances of the two halves matching are ten thousand to one. But wait, the twists encountered make this a true classic, and pure entertainment that has proven it self time after time.

This for me is not only one of my personal favorite tricks but the trick that introduced me to Jerry whos friendship I treasure.

However just before Jerry had them mass produced he had me make the cards for him this I had a few of left - Jerry had some of his NEW cases with out cards... So I've put them together. they still have the original instructions but no Bonus DVD...

A small black vinyl case is introduced, and the spectators are told that inside is a prediction.

Two cards are then selected by a spectator and placed onto the table. The prediction case is opened, and two poker chips are taken out and handed to a spectator. One poker chip has a square printed on it, and the other has a circle. The spectator is asked to place a chip on each card. The spectator can change their mind as to which chip goes on which card... A genuinely free choice!

The performer reaches into the vinyl case and produces two cards that match the two that the spectator picked. The two cards have a large square and circle cut into them, which matches the spectator's choice. The card case can be shown empty and examined"

You remove a pack of cards from their case, immediately and visibly the card case shrinks to half its original size. The deck no longer will fit inside!!! The cards are completely normal and can be used immediately. No switching of the cards or case. The case looks like a normal bicycle card case, made in card. Ideal as an opening to a card routine.

Three beautiful shiny chrome-finished cups are perfect for any Cups and Balls routine. Includes four hand-crocheted balls and velvet drawstring bag. If you ever wanted a nice set of cups and balls at a reasonable price then these are the ones!

These beautiful cups are identical to the Aluminum ones above but are gleaming COPPER! Comes with a drawstring bag and of course 4 balls. These are very nice... Go on treat yourself!

The Vernet Shells are perfectly balanced, made of unbreakable plastic and the inner surface is curved to allow easier manipulation of the special pea. Very realistic in appearance, these are far superiour to any other shells in this price range!

Shock Twist - Gary Jones

An original effect from the devious mind of Gary Jones. This was one of his original releases. Now reproduced and repackaged by us here at Top Secret.

The effect is incredibly simple and VISUAL... Just the way magic should be!

Four blue backed cards are shown and one by one they turn face up, then with a snap of the fingers the backs change to multi coloured.

Ambitious Jazz - Gary Jones (Now includes BONUS routine - no count Oil and Water)

Four "Black" Kings and four "Red" Twos...
The Kings are placed on the table the Two's in the hand,
The first King placed on the bottom of the Twos packet instantly appears on top of the packet!
This happens twice more under increasingly impossible conditions.
The climax happens with the magician even touching the last king!
Yet it still melts through to the top!

Gary's no count "Oil and Water" 4 Black cards & 4 Red cards... No matter how many times they are mixed together they keep separating.

Complete instructions with all the cards required (Cards will vary from set to set)

Quick Reminder

“The effects shown and taught were not only high caliber cards effects but also effects with coins (one of the best 3 Fly routines I’ve seen) finger rings, the cheekiest watch steal ever, balls, pins and hankies. I’ve always been a fan of the cards to pocket routine but the vanish of the last card has always been a problem, Gary has eliminated this problem and this routine will catch you, this is the last word on cards to pocket”

As a friend of Gary’s I can say that rarely will you find material of this caliber offered in this way. Chris Congreave (Professional Magician).

As another friend of Garys I can promise you you find stuff here you will use. Gary is a true Pro in every sense of the word.

Sidewalk Shuffle Martin Lewis (Redone)

Based upon Joe Riding's "Three Card Trick with Four Cards," Ken Brooke gave Martin Lewis permission to release his version which differs in methodology and offers improved handling. (Ken Brooke also sold this himself) Fred Kaps took it and made it even more famous). So you know it has to be good ! Performed as an expose of the famous Three Card Monte, the magician begins with three blank cards and an ace. One of the blanks is placed on his table and the audience is asked to follow the movements of the ace. This is repeated several times and each time, the spectators are fooled when the ace vanishes from the cards in hand and is revealed on the table top. For a knockout climax, just when the audience thinks they've caught on and guesses the ace is on the table - it is shown to be a blank card and the magician reveals he is now holding THREE ACES ! Specially-printed, Jumbo Bicycle back cards for stand-up work complete with instructions. No difficult sleights. One of my all time favorites! Now Martin has reroutined this to make it even better!

Daring Spring Trap - UK exclusive! (Back in stock)

Here is something truly unique... I cannot be certain but I think I first saw Bob Read do this way back in my youth... I have had a lot of fun with mine over the years. It has taken me a long time to track some of these down.

A plated spring animal trap is shown and set. The effectiveness of the trap is demonstrated by placing a pencil, bread stick, etc. into the trap. It springs shut with a bang shattering whatever is placed in the jaws of the trap. The trap is re-set and the magician places his hand near the trap - withdraws it and continues speaking to the audience about the trap. After much by-play, thrusts his fingers into the trap and the jaws slam shut on the magicians fingers. The trap is sprung open and the magician's hand is unharmed.The spectators may assist in removing the performer's UNHARMED hand from the trap. A truly unique piece of entertainment!

This is a very effective and bizarre piece of magic. If you have Harry Anderson's Wise Guy book, his entire routine for this effect is detailed.

In recent years, the classic snowstorm effect has gained more and more popularity. We thought it was time to explain, in depth, one of magic's best kept secrets. The book in this set is a complete explanation of the Classic Snowstorm including tips, suggestions and ideas to help bring a new light on this stunning effect. If you use this book you will have the tools necessary to place your own stamp of originality on a classic effect.

Larry Maples and Raven are full time working professionals who perform for cruise lines and resorts all over the world. In 1989, they released The Ultimate Snowstorm. This was the first pre-made banded snowstorm load made in the United States. Today, their Ultimate Snowstorm is used by professionals all over the world and is a staple product in the lines of the most prestigious magic shops.

Comes complete with 6 snowstorm loads (4 white, 1 red, 1 multi), 12 inch fan and 32 page Secrets of the Snowstorm book.

A magician pours a shaker full of salt into his left fist. Suddenly the salt disappears from his left hand and reappears in a long stream from the right hand.

This legendary trick has been featured by such great magicians as Dai Vernon, Roy Benson and Fred Kaps, and it has been written about in the acclaimed book “Roy Benson By Starlight”. As a result many magicians have been hoping to include it in their acts. But the perfect gimmick has been unavailable.

Levent, the author of “Roy Benson By Starlight” has taken Roy Benson’s original Salt Pour Gimmick and he has added many unique design features that make it by far the best gimmick ever produced. Custom molded out of durable and corrosion resistant flesh-colored plastic, “Levent’s Super Salt Pour Gimmick” never requires painting or touching up. The lightweight material is slightly translucent so that under proper stage lighting conditions the magician can see exactly how much salt remains in the gimmick as the salt is reproduced. This feature is crucial for magicians that wish to choreograph their salt pour routine to recorded music.

The following are among the advanced physical features:
A very large flared opening which makes it effortless to fill with salt and allows it to be thumb palmed very securely;
A high salt capacity egg-shape that ergonomically conforms to the shape of your closed fist, thus making it easier to palm;
A concave base enabling the gimmick to sit upright and be ready to use in the prop case which also provides an indentation for your thumb making it easier to do the Benson “Turnover Move” as well as allow for better control during Vernon’s salt flow control technique.

The gimmick includes a DVD, in which Levent teaches the various Salt Pour techniques from the past masters of magic such as Dai Vernon, Roy Benson, Ross Bertram and Fred Kaps. Levent’s comprehensive lessons show the real secrets, such as how to covertly introduce the gimmick into your hands at the start of the routine, how to control the flow of salt when it is reproduced and how to secretly ditch the gimmick at the conclusion.

Levent also teaches the entire Salt Pour routine that he currently performs in his comedy magic act. Plus, he includes multiple variations such as the production of the salt from both fists. Finally as a bonus he reveals the secret of his earlier routine in which a borrowed wrist watch is transformed into an hourglass, the sand from the hourglass is used for the Salt Pour trick and at the finale the sand magically transforms back to the borrowed watch.

Wow talk about value for money... You learn EVERYTHING there is to know about the trick from A-Z even if you never perform this the history lesson alone is worth the money! GET IT!

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.

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 showing a deck of Bicycle brand playing cards each card has a number written on the back. Your spectator names 3 playing cards and these are removed from the face up deck and placed on the table. A photograph is shown to contain 3 face down playing cards each bearing a different number on their back. Unbelievable as it sounds when the cards are turned over the numbers match!!!!

No Funny Moves
No sticky Stuff
No R&S
No Duplicate Cards
No Thin Cards

You will absolutely love Cataclysm! It really is the cleanest effect of it’s kind.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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
