Wow! I have spent most of my life searching for just one of these!!! And for a while I had several in stock. In my youth I used to see these in Ken Brooke's studio and wished I could afford one. Never could or did, then as I got older tried to track one down but no one would part with theirs well eventually I got one! But now the time comes to pass this on to someone who will give it a good home and actually use it!

The Original Hand Of Cleopatra! A beautiful piece of magic! Clever...diabolic...and fools magicians as well as spectators.

Cleopatra’s Hand will find objects in envelopes, cards and miscellaneous items placed around her pyramid. A golden pyramid, along with a golden sarcophagus is placed on the table and her hand is placed upon the top of the pyramid and given a spin. When it stops, it will be pointing to the selected item that is ONLY known by the spectators. Can be repeated immediately and it always stops wherever the selected secreted item is! Performer does not handle the pyramid or the hand during the routine! Everything takes place in the spectator’s hands. You supply the cards or envelopes.

To buy one of these new now (if you can even track one down! With the current value of the euro) will cost you about £300

These rings were first produced in 1981 and are in the magic museum in Spain ! And were sold by Joe Riding. They come complete with a booklet, (with a different cover to the one shown), Showing Moves and Routines to accompany the rings. with contributions by Roger Crosthwaite , Les Sunderland , Bill Shewan and Tony Hammond

Most performers realize the importance of handing out their business cards, but just as important is getting the business card of your audience members. Free Lunch, an ingenious new mentalism routine that is fast becoming the hottest item amongst professional magicians in the know.This can be performed two different ways, one for stage and the other for walkaround. Both versions are included with this set.

STAGE ROUTINE:
Performer brings out a small fish bowl, containing about thirty business cards and reads off a few of the names on the cards showing the cards to the people in the front couple of rows. He talks about how restaurants have bowls like this and each week they draw a card out and somebody wins a free lunch. Of course the performer can't give away a free lunch, but might have pickles and jam somewhere.

The performer then drops the cards back in the bowl and shakes them up, mixing them. A spectator is then asked to take out any card while the performer turns his head. Without seeing which card was chosen, the performer is then able to mentally determine information on the card such as phone number, name and even the zip code!

At the end of your show the bowl can be placed out for clients to drop their own cards in the bowl, building up your client list! TC Tahoe uses this on cruise ships to promote and sell his magic DVD.

WALKABOUT ROUTINE:
This is the perfect routine if you want to collect business cards from potential clients in any close-up or walkabout situation and hand out your own. These cards have been prepared enabling you to include the spectators cards to the pile.

Again, spectator chooses a card and without seeing it you know exactly what the name on the card is, the phone number and a surprise climax that will knock their socks off! You your own business card to write on and let them take it away with them.

Free Lunch Set includes:
• Full instructions with routines for the Stage and Walkabout Versions by TC Tahoe and additional ideas by Paul Romhany
• Thirty professionally printed business cards for the Stage Version and 20 cards for the Walkaround version.
• Fish bowl included
• CD ROM with PDF and JPG files so you can create your own special business cards to make this more personal for you.

The first edition of this trick was limited to 50 sets and was a complete sell out within four weeks. That was about seven years ago. This item got rave reviews from professional performers around the world. For example the English master magician and mentalist Mr. PAUL DANIELS used it in one of his appearances on the telly and wrote us a letter in which he praised it highly. Many mentalists phoned or wrote during the past years asking if "INFORMATICO PRINCIPLE" was still available. For this reason we are re- releasing it now in a limited edition of only 20 sets worldwide. This principle "steals the thoughts" of the spectators in such a diabolically clever way, that it leaves the audience - and your fellow mentalists - speechless. Many routines are explained including Ted Lesley´s "Berlin-Bears" in the beautiful 30 page manuscript, written by our friend LARRY BECKER, who uses the principle also in all his shows. CHARLES REYNOLDS, EUGENE BURGER and many more saw the principle in action and were completely flabbergasted by it. This is the last time that we will make it available!

Remember, what you are buying with "Informatico" is a beautifully designed SECRET. For this reason the trick comes without our usual "money back guarantee with no questions asked"! You get a few samples and everything else you need to rehearse and perform "Informatico" a couple of times. The starter kit and a package of refills of Ted Lesley´s "Teleport Professional Envelopes" is included also. After a while you will have to buy some picture postcards and plain cards, which are used in the effects, at your next stationary shop.

I am not sure whether this is one of the first printings or 2nd maybe some out there can enlighten me. I think it is one of the original 50. as it has 40 pages not 30!

Now completely unavailable as Dick Barry handmade only a few of these special props. (I think there were about 12 made).

While your back in turned a spectator places a sharp steel spike into one of two holes on a simple looking wooden stand and covers it with a disposable cup. The spectator then places a second cup over the remaining empty hole. When this is done you turn around and SMASH your hand down on one of the cups. IT IS THE CUP COVERING THE EMPTY HOLE, NOT THE ONE WITH THE STEEL SPIKE. NO ELECTRONIC, MAGNETS OR FAKE ITEMS ARE USED. EVERYTHING CAN BE EXAMINED BEFORE AND AFTER THE EFFECT. The wooden board is only 9-1/2 inches by 5 inches, so it is easy to transport.

THIS PROP IS ABOUT AS FOOL PROOF AS WE CAN MAKE IT, HOWEVER, IF YOU DRINK TOO MUCH, HAVE POOR EYESIGHT, CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS OR ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE THIS PROP IS NOT FOR YOU.

This is a very nice prop and unless you are a complete idiot it is foolproof! Also with care it can be repeated immediately.

Faust Bill In Pen - The Magic Fountain Pen -A rare John Martin Classic RE-Created By Granville Taylor-This is one of a kind. You can’t find this anywhere!!!!! Extremely rare and a highly collectible piece of magic! Many professionals have marked their career with the signed bill (banknote) to impossible location. Now, you can do the same with this creative twist on a classic plot where in a signed bill travels inside a fountain pen!

Imagine having a spectator sign their own bill with a marker only to have the magician "destroy" or "lose" it. Having it reappear inside a fountain pen (all the while having to unscrew parts in order to get to the bill in a time-consuming fashion) will devestate any spectator behond words! You receive the special, precision manufactured fountain pen, detailed instructions, special pocket holder, special handkerchief and tweezers. And the best part is that this will work with ANY type of bill or banknote whether you work at home or abroad.

A very limited number of these matt black chrome pen sets were made for sale. Each set is numbered and consists of a 'Parker' type fountain pen, 'push' rod for setting, a 24" square pure Chinese silk, a special holder for the pen inside your jacket, and one other item, plus detailed instructions.

From the inventor of the "Mother of all Book Tests" comes the "The Meditation Book Test"

Effect: A spectator peeks at a word (ala flashback) and the performer reveals it!

The uses an ordinary book! (one is supplied).
The Book is examinable!
You can give the book away!
The words will be different every time!
Portable...

A very nice looking box sits on your table upon which are sat five different color "Buddha" statues. Each one is taken by a spectator and box is closed.

This is an original Paul Fox rising cards. It has his stamp on the unit (see photo on right). It is in outstanding condition for something that was originally purchased in the the late 1940s!

It was originally purchased by Karrell Fox. When he died it was purchased from his widow by Abb Dickson who passed it on to Artie Kidwell for his personal collection on display at his magic shop. It was then purchased by ME! in march 2003,. where it has sat in my personal collection for the last 6 years. Tucked away where the only one could see it was me! It is time for this wonderous piece of history to be passed on to somone else to enjoy.

It comes complete with the original gimmick and instructions, also a letter from Artie Kidwell detailing its history. I shall of course add to this so that it can retain its provenance for the future.

Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportnuity... It may never come again.

The World's Best Card Riser (With DVD) - Ted Biet

Three cards are chosen and returned to the deck. The magician holds the pack at his fingertips and asks for the name of the first card. It slowly rises out of the center of the pack. The cards are now shuffled and fanned. The magician asks for the name of the second card. It rises slowly from the center of the fan (this looks really unbelievable!). Finally, the pack is placed into the cardcase and given to a spectator to hold. The third card is announced and the spectator is told to "tickle" the deck just a bit. He does so and, amazingly, the third card rises from the cased deck!

This is the only original Ted Biet's card riser, the best ever created. No threads, no weight no magnets, the gimmick can be introduced into and stolen from a borrowed deck with utter ease, if desired. This device is never even suspected, much less seen. With this DVD you can learn how to use this wonderful gimmick and if you really take the time to learn this (and it does not require a great degree of skill), you will fool all the boys at the magic club and every layman you perform this for.

Comes complete with card riser gimmick and instructional DVD. Blue Bicycle gimmick in good condition

The Official Kolossal Killer Wallet Set - Kenton Knepper

Once in a while something REALLY special comes along. If you buy nothing else EVER you really should buy this! "M"

Spectator just NAME'S a playing card, and you have the correct card in your wallet! YOU ARE ALWAYS CORRECT!

The spectator can mess with you all they want - RELAX - you can still produce a playing card from your wallet, as absolute proof that you knew their card all along! No sleight of hand, no palming, no nothing. No, there are not 52 cards, or even 20 cards somehow packed into the wallet. It's all very ingenious and devious.

Kolossal Killer has become the ultimate card out, and the perfect mentalism effect with cards. It can be performed close-up or on full stage. Jeff McBride, Terry Seabrooke, Allan Ackerman, Larry Becker, and a host of the biggest names in mentalism and magic have relied on Kenton's Original Kolossal Killer.

Until now however there was not a "proper" wallet for this effect. This is the official wallet, made by Tony Curtis to Kenton's exacting specifications. It has taken years to get this, and now we have it. Of course the full Kolossal Killer routine and more is also included.

This is no ordinary wallet! The wallet can be shown empty and the named card immediately produced. No equivoque, no fumbling, no trying to find or separate cards. You open the wallet and instantly remove the proper card. Now it is EASY, they can name any card, and you will not have to fumble or worry about cards falling out, etc. Yes, it holds POKER size cards!

This set includes the very special soft black leather hip/billfold style wallet, so you can use it as your everyday wallet (Kenton does) full routine and manuscript, additional work on how to use the wallet for readings and predictions, special envelopes that seem far too small to hold the poker size card you produce, extra envelopes, and even the poker size cards pre-printed and ready to go to work for you. It has never been easier to perform this effect, and now with the special wallet it is even more amazing to the audience than ever before.

See why the pros snapped these up the moment this new wallet set was announced. This is the ONLY OFFICIAL Kolossal Killer wallet made according to Kenton's exact specifications. Don't settle for anything less. Only a very select few have been privileged to own Kenton's Kolossal Killer - until now. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! Ex Demo, great condition.

Inside the Mind of Garrett Thomas Vol 2 and 3 - DVD

Volume 2

CHINESE SURPRISE — Garrett has taken Fred Kaps’ classic coin routine and added a surprise ending that will hit any audience hard. After several visual transpositions of a silver and copper coin, the audience will swear that more than two coins are in use. This is confirmed as the performer’s hands are opened and four Chinese coins . . . and nothing else . . . are shown!
IMAGINATION COINS — A new twist in the Coins Across plot as coins travel from the spectator’s hands to the performer’s hands! Then, the coins visually fly between the performer’s hands before finally vanishing and ending up back in the spectator’s hand. Also included are Garrett’s touches on Robert Bengal’s famous move for the final coin.
ABSTRACT MATH — A lesson in abstract math and thinking as three copper coins very cleanly change into a silver coin, a silver ring . . . and a silver Sharpie-brand marker!
COLOR MONTE — Garrett’s take on the Emerson and West classic using regular cards, a great presentation, and a very clean and easy handling. This is an effect you’ll carry with you and perform everywhere.
THOUGHT — Design duplication the Garrett Thomas way! Garrett shares all of the touches on how to make a spectator swear that they actually see you reading their mind!
ANNIVERSARY WALTZ — Garrett’s version of the trick made famous by Doc Eason. Garrett has analyzed the dynamics of performing this routine for a couple and has structured his version of this now-classic routine to maximize these dynamics. And at the end? The spectators are left with a souvenir . . . and an experience . . . that they’ll cherish forever!

BONUS: Performances only of Garrett Thomas’ RUBIK’S CUBE and THE RING THING.

Volume 3

BRASS BLOCK — This one’s worth the price of the entire DVD set! It’s a Card to Matchbox routine with a stunning climax that will blow your spectators away. In fact, this is the one trick the studio audience kept talking about long after the shoot was over.
LOOK A CARD — Garrett’s multi-phase version of the legendary Think of a Card plot. Garrett delves into all of the dynamics and outs in great detail.
BALL IN BAG — This isn’t your grandfather’s Egg Bag! A heavy steel ball inexplicably appears inside a small black bag . . . and vanishes again just as mysteriously.
PEN THRU QUARTER (LASER) — Garrett’s ultra-clean handling of the Pen Through Borrowed Quarter using a Marco Tempest idea that dramatically strengthens the routine.
COMBINATION LOCK — A strong and practical mental routine using an ordinary combination padlock where the spectators divine the correct combination.
SHARPIE SHRINK — A Sharpie-brand marker visibly shrinks in size in a startling manner and is immediately handed to the spectators. If you like the Mini-Sharpies, you’ll love Garrett’s routine with them.

BONUS: DECREASING DECK TO SELECTED CARD (performance only)

BONUS: Performances only of Garrett Thomas’ RUBIK’S CUBE and THE RING THING.

Price: £35 for the two volumes.

Weerd! - Docc Hilford

Weerd! is a collection of over two dozen effects, on two audio tapes, that pushes the envelope on mentalism and bizarre magick. Docc makes this kind of material fun for any adult audience. On these tapes, Docc gives you complete plots, methods, and performance hints.

There's VooDoo II, The ESP Turn Around, Curse of the Undead, Humanoids from the Deep (in which water spirits reveal the future, visibly, under water!), and many, many more — over thirty effects in all. What a deal! Weerd!

"...hilariously funny and brilliantly entertaining. All fine magicians individually, but as a group, an absolute knockout." - Mike Caveney

Apparently break your own neck! Stick a needle straight through your hand! Swallow entire saltshakers of salt! And much more...

Be warned the production values of this are shocking too...there are some ideas in there, but the instructions are not always detailed...and many of the tricks appear to be available in other peoples books...you have been warned!

Put knives through your head! Twist your head 360 degrees around and pull it off! 8 different variations and routines! As with shocking the production values are not really that great...though this one is a little better

A Totally New Approach To Real World Magic! Just as you approach your audience, you realize you're chewing gum. As you apologize for the "social faux pas," you remove the gum from your mouth and search in vain for a place to put it. Since nothing is handy, you'll have to resort to magic. With a wave, the gum visibly transforms back into a brand-new dry stick of gum! Another magical pass and it's now completely wrapped!

A brass nut and a brass bolt are shown. The nut is threaded on the bolt. The assembled nut and bolt are covered with a handkerchief.

The performer makes a few magical passes (with the hands) over the handkerchief and a movement is seen underneath.

After the movement ceases the handkerchief is removed and it is seen that some mysterious force has removed the nut from the bolt!

A borrowed coin or ring is dropped into a cup, the wand (black with white tips) is placed inside the cup and used to stir the coin around. Then the cup is shown to be empty!

Based on the principal of the Walking Knot, Pavels universal rope allows you to seemingly cut the rope and restore it several times, each time the rope is shown to be complete in one piece. Comes with the 8ft length of rope and of course instructions.

This is a stunning set of rings, 10" Diameter. Made by Owen Supreme USA. That makes them the very best money can buy!

Hollow Stainless Steel. They really are beautiful. With this set are 4 rings. 2 single, 1 standard key & 1 LOCKING key.

These were custom made and do not come with a routine. Originally cost nearly £350. If you want perfection you have just found it!

The coin is actually inside the key chain! You have to unscrew the Key chain and remove the coin.

A regular deck of cards are shown and shuffled, Two cards are selected one is signed. Both cards are replaced into the deck. Two jokers are removed and flipped face down onto the top of the deck. Without any moves the top 3 cards are spread and the first selection is trapped between the jokers! The selection is handed to the spectator who inserts it anywhere in the deck. The two jokers are again flipped on to the deck and once more the first card is found trapped between the jokers!

The spectator is asked to shuffle the deck and then you will find the 2nd signed card. Without ANY moves the jokers are spread and the SIGNED card is trapped between them! The signed card is handed to the spectator as a souvenir.

Taking a large safety pin you stretch it slowly to double it's length, and then hand it out to be examined. Comes with a special gimmicked pin (a regular one might be useful for comparison but is not supplied)

A ball at the end of a string, a small metal ring, and a clear box: the ring is threaded on the string where the ball keeps it imprisoned. The other end of the string is threaded through a hole in the lid of the box. Obviously, the ring cannot escape from the string. Yet with one shake the ring is free inside the box

The lid is opened to show the inside of the case. Coins are inserted into the top of the funnel. When they drop out, they have shrunk to smaller coins. The case is turned over and two of the tiny quarters are dropped inside. Suddenly, they become a full-sized half dollar!

Designed to use with quarters and a half dollar (not supplied), but you can use 10p pieces instead. Mini coins are supplied.
