The magician invites a lady from the audience to participate. He crumples a paper napkin into a little ball. It begins to dance on his hand and then up and down his arm. He then transfers his power to the spectator and she is able to command the ball to dance. He then opens the paper ball showing that there is nothing inside. The magician folds the napkin into a paper rose and the flower magically stands up on his open hand! It then floats right in front of the magician and the spectator. He then passes his hands around the floating rose and lights it on fire. In a flash, it visibly changes into a real rose!!! He then gives the rose to the volunteer as she returns to her seat.

Available again at last! Harold Voit has solved the problem of this great classic accessory! Making a ring that is affordable, yet durable and has a substantial larger spark volume then the previous models. You will be able to feel the difference immediately as you turn the unit with the key. These work every time and keep on working! I have used mine for nearly 20 years!!!

Wonderful for M.C. work or comedians that want a product that delivers and does not stop working after two or three times!

This brilliant rose magic effect is created by Horace Ng. Imagine that you come on stage and pick up a full sized red rose. No matter how many times you pluck the rose away, the rose keeps reappearing on the stem again and again. Dramatically, the rose changes its color as a climax! The gimmicks are well-made, you can perform this trick almost every circumstances from close-up to stage.

This is a classic effect wherein you show two sticks, one with a long string and tassel and one with a short string and tassel.
When the short string is pulled, it becomes long and the long becomes short!

If we pull on the short string it becomes long and the ... long becomes short. Are they connected in some way.

The performer separates the two sticks and there is no connection yet the long string becomes short and the short becomes long, even when the sticks are held completely apart!

Mona Lisa - McComb trick - Officially Authorized by Billy McComb - (UK Exlusive)

Claiming to be attuned to his volunteer's taste in fine art, the magician shows the rest of the audience a prediction - a large -format, reproduction of the Mona Lisa - and sets it aside. He now explains to the spectator that she will make a random choice from a stack of several reproductions of paintings. The performer holds up the paintings so the audience can see them, but not the volunteer, who is unaware that all the paintings are the Mona Lisa. The audience laughs as it realizes the performer is about to con his lovely volunteer. As he displays each Mona Lisa to the audience, the performer miscalls each painting, saying one is a Monet, an Andy Warhol, a Dali, etc. Whenever the spectator says "Stop," the magician hands her the painting to hold but tells her not to peek at it yet. The Magician picks up his prediction and confidently asks the name of the artist she has chosen but is bewildered when she says she has selected a Van Gogh! (Yes, we've marked the artist's name clearly at the bottom of the painting so the spectator will know it was painted by Van Gogh.) The Magician looks for himself, and sure enough, she has ended up with an intense Van Gogh self-portrait. But when the performer turns around his prediction, it has magically changed to a Van Gogh as well, ending the routine on a note of artistic triumph!

Professionals will love the quality of the props, especially our new foolproof interlocking design that takes the risk out of the old rough-and-smooth method.

Mona Lisa McComb comes to you complete with thirteen full-color paintings reproduced on huge 11x14 inch high-quality coated stock, housed in an elegant ribbon-tie black artist's portfolio, with full photo-illustrated instructions.

Through exclusive arrangement with Paul Kozak and Hocus Pocus and for professional use only - believe me when we tell you that you'll never want to use another Salt Pour gimmick again once you use the Paul Kozak Superior Salt Pour!

Paul Kozak is not only one of magic's most outstanding performers, his creative prowess is what separates him from the rest of the fraternity. Refined through the ages, Paul has used this salt pour for the last 25 years on the largest of stages. It is not like any other salt pour ever offered before! The precision machined, solid brass construction ensures a lifetime of performances. The gimmick has been powder coated with flesh tone color such that it never needs to be painted!

Designed for the most maximum capacity of salt, this is absolutely THE LONGEST SALT POUR EVER from a single gimmick! The gimmick is designed to hold a larger load than any salt pour gimmick ever offered before.

You receive the Paul Kozak Superior Salt Pour gimmick as well as a DVD, featuring a live performance of Paul Kozak performing the salt pour for the "World's Greatest Magic Show," currently running nightly at the Greek Isles Casino in Las Vegas! Also included in the DVD is a backstage teach-in session with Paul himself highlighting his 25 years-worth of handling &subtle nuances of the salt pour gimmick. When you see Paul's "Salt Management" to maximize the amount of salt displayed, you'll be extremely pleased with your immediate results!

"My first exposure to the long pour salt effect was on some old video footage of the legendary Fred Kaps. It was very funny and amazing but it was Paul Kozak's writings on the subject that first inspired me to work on this effect many years ago. Kozak has now developed a new gimmick. He has taken the best of past gimmicks and added his own work. This is a very well-made prop that will last a lifetime. He is standing on the shoulders of giants and he is himself a giant. If you want the best sponge balls, you buy Goshman. If you want the best rubber dove, you buy Neilsen. If you want the best salt gimmick, buy Kozak. I highly recommend it." - Kevin James

"Having performed with Fred Kaps on numerous occasions, I know first-hand how great his salt pouring routine was, and I haven't seen anyone do this as a magic act since. It was almost becoming a dying art! But thanks to Kozak, he has brought this routine back to life by totally revolutionizing the Salt Pour with a great new gimmick. It is solidly made, handles with absolute ease, and gives the appearance of a seemingly endless pouring of salt! It truly is a lifetime quality gimmick for any professional magician!" - Shimada

"You want a salt pour... Don't want to spend 25 years learning all the little tips that make the trick great! Then here is your chance to get a lifetimes experience and probably the best "gimmick" ever created for this effect! The information on the DVD alone is worth every penny!" - "M"

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!

Everyone that sees this performed, wants one. It's a simple, funny, and compact professional routine.. A fantastic opener for any stand-up show. The magician says he has three predictions inside an envelope. When asked for an animal, a letter, and a grocery product, the three predictions are revealed to be hilarious gag predictions until the last one, a UPC bar code , is turned over tho reveal the correct product named!

Guaranteed laughs to start off the show with a killer magic ending. You receive everything you need to do the routine. This effect fools many magicians because of its simplicity. No forcing or secret writing of any kind is used - just a good solid routine along with a special envelope makes for a killer effect.

The magician promises to perform a classic feat of magic — the Linking Rings — but with a twist (literally). He brings out three rings fashioned from barbed wire. In order to safely handle the rings, he dons heavy-duty work gloves. However one of the barbs gets caught on the gloves, so the magician removes the gloves and attempts to manipulate the rings barehanded. As the routine progresses, the barbs get caught on the performer's jacket, the skin on his thumb, and a spectator's clothes, as well. The magician finally manages to link the rings into a chain of three, bringing the routine to a successful (and painless) conclusion.

The special barbed wire rings and extra gimmicks supplied enable you to perform this mysterious and entertaining routine without any risk of injury or damage to your clothes or your spectator's. Terry Seabrooke was generous enough to allow us to include his personal routine that he first performed at the Magic Castle in 1995. EXCERPT from Mr. Seabrooke's routine: Get a male spectator on stage to help you. Have him stand to your left. Talk about presenting one of the classics of magic. The famous Linking Ring trick where steel rings melt into each other in an amazing way and link together. "Unfortunately I've misplaced my set of rings, but I did find these..."

Most of the fun in this routine comes from the many ways you get stuck to these "deadly" rings! On your

gloves (included) bare hands, on your clothes- even on your unsuspecting audience-member assistant's clothes! The possibilities are limitless! CAUTION: Quadro-Vicious Circle will produce a reaction like no other Linking Ring Routine in the world! Each set includes: THREE High Quality, handmade, steel rings with barbs. A set of leather utility gloves. Complete and fully illustrated instructions complete with a professionally performed routine from Terry Seabrooke. Excellent packaging that can be reused for storage. Many other extras that help make this the most Complete and Dangerous Linking Rings Routine EVER!

Probably one of the most famous magic tricks of all time. Solid steel rings link and unlink in a strange and mysterious manner, even though they have been thoroughly examined. You receive a complete set of eight rings, 10" in Diameter but you can use just 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or of course all eight of them. There are innumerable routines in just as many magic books, apart from those supplied. Comedy, serious or silent, whatever your style you will be able to use these.

Proving to be one of the more popular items of the year. This marvelous mechanical brass bell can be slotted into lots of programs and almost any kind of comedy show! The basic idea is great, you take a bell and ring it, then when you give it to someone else, they will try to ring it but it won't make a sound! A classic comedy bit from the British magic comedian Terry Herbert. This is so funny, your audience will cry! Easy to use in routines for both children and adults. Here are some ideas that come with the bell: For children: before a birthday party, you ask the child to get all his /her friends to settle down , and to act like their teacher at school when they ring the bell to get attention. You ring the bell to show him how to do it, then give him the bell to ring to get everyone´s attention. Of course when he rings the is no sound...a little louder you ask and take it from him and demonstrate...For adults: You show the bell to an adult man telling him that this bell has been developed to check how many hormones he has...the louder the ringing the more sex hormones you have...You of course ring the bell very loud...you give it to the spectator - he can't make the bell create even the slightest ring! Fabulous Prop...You should have one! I've had a lot of fun with this!

This classic of magic is now new and greatly improved. Ken Driscoll and Mel Lambdin have put together a rope thru body that can be performed surrounded! That's right, surrounded! Your audience will be amazed! When I took this out of the packet I really wasn't sure... Then I tried it! Wow this is actually a GREAT idea! You start with two examinable pieces of rope, do the trick with no set up or fumbling then hand them straight out again.

One of the finest and simplest of stage illusions...The floating glass! While talking to the audience, the performer casually pours liquid from a bottle held in his right hand, into a glass held in his left hand. Suddenly, he releases the glass...But it doesn’t fall! That’s right, the glass remains in the air, FLOATING, while the performer is still pouring the liquid! Casually, he takes hold of the glass, and continues his performance. A great effect! Airborne utilizes a new principle that allows you to use almost any bottle! A water bottle, a coke bottle (glass or plastic), and almost any liquor bottle. The plastic party glass has been taken out, the effect now comes with an Elegant Tall Acrylic Tumbler, at the same great price! The only hook up that gravity feeds out with the liquid so you never have to come down to the glass!

Snowstorms

Soak a white paper in water. Now begin to blow air on the soaking paper with a folding paper fan, and low and behold! Perfectly dry flakes fill the air like snowflakes! We supply you with a ten special pellets that transform into the snow you supply the rest. It's fun to do! No routine.

The classic "Snowstorm in China" effect is one of the most visually appealing effects possible. The performer shows his hands empty, then displays a sheet of tissue paper and tears it into strips. He bundles the strips together and places them into a tumbler which is then filled with water. The performer then begins pouring the water out of the tumbler with one hand and waving a fan with the other. Immediately the soggy ball of paper turns into a beautiful snowstorm of white flakes of paper!

Patrick Page reveals this very clever self-working routine in comprehensive notes supplied with this 'must have' effect. Very versatile with many applications... but is strongest when used with a 'real' Red Rose and delivered to a special lady!

The 'Ring Vanish' compliments The Ring a Ring a Rosie to perfection and allows you to perform a miracle with confidence... sighting a choice of rings and enhancing the above routine... no sleight of hand needed. Ring a Ring a Rosie and Ring Vanish, sold together as a complete working effect.

Master comedy magician Robert Baxt has finally released his Better Newspaper Tear effect, straight from his FISM award-winning act!

“Baxt has created what can only be called the perfect micro illusion. It's as strong as any cabinet on wheels with a fraction of the cargo space.” -Franz Harary

“Robert’s newspaper trick gives you the maximum effect with minimum set-up. I love it!” -Johnny Ace Palmer

"The reset time makes your newspaper tear PERFECT for a cruise ship, where you do several shows a day." -James Cielen, I.B.M. Gold Medal Winning magician.

The Magic Puzzle - Sagiv Levy - (UK Exlusive)

A volunteer from the audience examines the pieces of a puzzle and freely selects one of the hundred or so pieces. All of the pieces clearly show different areas of a puzzle and are shaped differently. Once the spectator has chosen, the magician whisks away the black cloth covering a framed puzzle of the famous Mona Lisa. The puzzle is missing one piece, however and to the audience's amazement it is the piece that the volunteer freely chose!

You will receive everything necessary to start performing this showstopping effect immediately:complete, 100-piece puzzle of the Mona Lisa, pasted and handsomely framed, black velvet cover, the unique special gimmick that makes this routine possible, high-quality plastic case & Compact Disc with free classical music for your performance. The high-quality, laminated and framed puzzle measures 21" wide and 28.5" tall, making The Magic Puzzle just as easy for audiences in the hundreds to see as it is for smaller, more intimate parlor-type performances.

FANTASTIC Coin magic! Show a large glass, a small glass and a wooden base.
The small glass is placed on the base and the large glass inverted over the small one. Four coins are shown resting on a stand. One by one the coins Vanish! And, one by one, they Appear inside the small glass! You can actually HEAR and SEE each coin as it arrives in the small glass. Copenetro is one of the finest coin miracles ever to be created by Bob Kline. This effect has been copied by many pirates, but it has never been equaled. Now, you, too, can own an original Copenetro, manufactured with permission by Bob Kline. This effect is simple to perform. It allows you to work your audience and concentrate on its presentation. You receive the Copenetro deluxe base, beautifully crafted of rich walnut wood. Also included is the shot glass, drinking glass, coin easel stand and instructions. You supply the coins and the charisma! A thing of beauty... Highly recommended.

Vanishing Bird Cage

The Vanishing Bird Cage is a classic piece of magic, created by Bautier de Kolta, (who designed this as a cylindrical cage), redesigned by De Biere in the rectangular form familiar today, and made famous by the Blackstones (Senior and Junior) as an outstanding magical illusion. Because of the set up and handling required for effective performance, it is also an item attempted by very few performers, and rarely seen. In effect, a cage with a canary, (usually imitation) is squeezed between the performer's hands, and just vanishes into thin air!

Comes with everything needed to perform this amazing effect, including illustrated instructions.

Imagine making a bird cage vanish into thin air! For example, show a small bird in a cage. Set him free and show the audience he is free forever by making his former home disappear! An excellent and impressive finale.

You have seen this on many TV magic specials. Now you too can take a large butchers style knife and in one movement the knife's blade is smashed down and through your arm! It completely penetrates the arm! Blood SQUIRTS everywhere (Optional). This can be a gory illusion! Fully Self-Contained features Wood & chromed steel handle. This is one of the best models of this illusion I have seen. Want to freak the girls out (some of the men too for that matter)

I have been constantly asked for this effect and finally it has been re-released to the magical fart-ernity...

You explain to the audience that you subscribe to a mail order magic company that sends you magic lessons on CDs. You received one today and brought it to show the audience how you learn your tricks. You open the shipping box and remove a CD. With any CD player, you put the CD in and start the lesson. After a short music introduction a pleasant female voice explains that this is "The Lesson of the Vanishing Bandanna." The voice tells you that you will need two props for this trick. The first is a large dark colored square of fabric and the second being a yellow bandanna. Upon these words you reach into the shipping box and bring out a piece of dark fabric and a yellow BANANA, not a yellow bandanna! The voice continues to explain that this lesson is about "Palming" and instructs you to fold up the yellow bandanna and vanish it in the dark square of fabric. This is done, but you are really folding and mashing up the banana...which will get a great response of laughter from the audience. The trick ends with you vanishing the folded and mashed BANANA in the dark fabric square!

The Routine Is Very Easy To Perform - The CD Talks You Through the Entire Trick - Comes Complete With a Performance "Shipping Box" - Professionally Produced compact disc - Devil's Napkin and Written Instructions - You Supply the Real Banana

Incredible! Unbelievable! Real Magic! These are the words audiences use when they see this inexplicable rope miracle. Pavel's Super Walking Knot has been used by leading professionals the world over. It is easy, mystifying and most importantly, ENTERTAINING!

There is no lengthy setup, no bulky props. Nothing is added or taken away. It's all done right out in the open. Great VISUAL MAGIC!

The performer stretches a length of rope across the stage tying each end to a chair. The rope is cut anywhere a spectator selects. The rope is definitely shown to be cut in two pieces. No fake ends here. The two pieces are tied together and the knot is now slid along the rope to another spot selected by the audience. The knot is untied and the rope shown to be in TWO PIECES! Again the rope sections are tied together and the knot slid to a new position, again determined by the spectators. There is no force. The rope is again untied at this new position. An incredible illusion without the slightest bit of cover. Finally, the rope is restored to one long length, exactly the same size it was at the beginning! Pavel’s Super Walking Knot comes ready to work. 15 minutes of practice to get the handling down and then you work on your presentation. Detailed instructions complete this really mind boggling illusion.

For me the highlight of Siegfried & Roys show was seeing Siegfried do this trick! I know how its done and he still blew me away with it!!!

Exactly the same effect as above but a much shorter length of rope is used. (Cheaper too!) In this simplified version the magician takes charge and cuts the rope near one end... Showing the rope very clearly cut in two, he ties the pieces back together... behold the miracle he slides the knot along the rope to the other end...where he unties it and again clearly shows the rope cut into two. Tying them back together he moves the knot to the center of the rope and for the last time unties it to reveal the rope in two pieces. At this point you can either leave the rope cut or restore it to its former glory!

This classic effect, invented by Benson Dulay, has been updated using modern plastic glasses that resemble crystal cut glass. The glasses are durable and easy to care for. Not to be confused with the cheaper Dimininishing Milk Glasses These are beautiful. They allow you to do the trick both ways... (In fact not very long agao I brought an original 2nd hand set of these, these are just as nice if not nicer and a fraction of the price!

The magician starts out displaying five differently sized glasses, which are lined up from smallest to largest and are all shown to be empty. The smallest glass is picked up and filled with milk from a pint size milk carton. The small glass is displayed, and the magician looks at the glass and shakes his head, because he wants a bigger glass of milk. Unfortunately, there is no more milk in the milk carton. So instead, the magician pours the milk from the smallest glass into the next bigger glass in the line up. The milk fills the glass to the top! The magician takes this glass and fills up the next biggest glass in the line up, and it also fills the glass to the top! The milk is seemingly multiplying from glass to glass. This is repeated all the way up to the largest glass. The magician has filled up the largest glass from a tiny glass of milk!

Now with the largest glass filled, he gives a big smile and then starts to fill the four empty glasses up from the largest down to the smallest. The largest glass fills up the other four glasses!

Small Glass Height Approximately 2.75" (7 cm)
Large Glass Height Approximately 6.5" (16.5 cm)

A nicely made version of the classic Multum in Parvo trick, where milk is poured from a large glass into a smaller glass, then into an even smaller glass, and finally into a tiny glass. The smallest tumbler is filled with milk. Perform the effect in REVERSE as well! You pour the contents of this smallest tumbler into the next size up tumbler, which is twice it's size. magically the milk doubles in size filling the entire tumbler! doubling the milk again and again! The glasses are heavy duty plastic, much more durable than real glass for the working magician. The big glass is 5.5" tall and 3" in diameter. The second glass is 4" tall, the third is just over 3" tall, and the mini glass is just 2" tall with a 2" diameter. This is a stunning visual effect with automatic audience appeal. As the milk seemingly shrinks from one glass to the next, finally ending up in a tiny little glass, which can be given out to drink!

This is a nice size not too big and not too small... (holds 32 ounces). Now in case you haven't seen the effect... You form a a large piece of newspaper into a cone... Pour the nearly the entire contents of the milk jug into the paper cone...Crumple up the paper...The milk has VANISHED! Made "not" from easily breakable glass (thats why there are so few of these to be be found!) but heavy duty plastic hopefully to last you a lifetime! The gimmick is also easily removable to aid cleaning!

You show an open-ended empty (really) Tube, even pass it out for examination.
Pour a glass of water in the top, but it doesn't come out. The water is SUSPENDED! Push several dry Silks through the Tube, they exit dry! Where did the water go? Now push an empty glass up through the Tube, it finds the water! The glass is filled with water! Supplied complete with metal Tube, Glass, & Gimmick (supply your own water!).

Truly a sharp effect! Show six stainless steel Razor Blades. Demonstrate the blades are real by slicing a piece of paper. Place a 3 foot piece of thread in your mouth, torn from a spool. Now put the six Razor Blades in your mouth.
Remove the sharp Blades from your mouth and , they are now strung on the thread! Stand is beautifully made in Acrylic, which not only makes a fabulous display but the stand does all the hard work for you making this illusion pretty much self working!!! (Although this comes complete with final load Razors for both legal & safety reasons you will need to supply your own normal razors these however are widely available at any chemist)
This is not for minors!

Super Needled - Needle Thru Balloon

This effect looks impossible! A spectator blows up an ordinary balloon, ties it off and gives it to the performer. Magician takes a long metal needle with a ribbon at the end and VISIBLY sticks the point in at one end and pushes it completely thru the balloon! The needle actually does go right through the balloon! The needle is removed, the balloon tossed in the air and popped. Complete with balloons.

This is the classic appearing 8 foot pole... Imagine the look on your audiences face when you look inside a very small lunch bag and out pops what appears to be an 8 foot solid oak pole! This looks real even up close. It’s simple, in fact so simple a child could easily do it! Don’t confuse this with the appearing canes and candles on the market. We all know those have seams you can see. This pole is VISUALLY seamless no coils or springs of any kind. You can do this right out in the audience surrounded with no fear of being caught. That’s how good this is! (Note: This is the Authorized Version!) As used by the "Men in Coats"!

Imagine when people are expecting you to pull a rabbit out of your hat, you pull out a four foot wand! Out of seemingly impossible places. Your pocket, bag, close-up case, change bag… anywhere you can imagine. This works along the same lines as the "appearing products" from Sorcery. The material has been custom manufactured for this product. It is a beautiful High Gloss Black with white tips. Take a little wand and have a spectator toss it in the bag and it magically grows all on it’s own. Fantastic Magic at a great price!

Exactly the same as the Appearing 4ft Wand but in this case a "Wooden Pole". A mini version of the 8ft pole. Walk up to a vending machine put you money in at pull out a 4ft long wooden pole... It'll either get you noticed... Or locked up! (they looked very puzzled as I pulled this out of my pocket in the post office the other day. Still, why else would they know me as the mad magician!)

Exactly the same as the Appearing 4ft Wand but in this case a 4ft Stripped "Drinking Straw". Just imagine... You pick up a McDonalds bag looking inside you comment "they've forgotten to put the food in, but at least they gave me a straw!" So saying you pull out a 4ft long McDonalds straw! (I'm having great fun with one... My wife nearly walked out on me at the cafe... You need a straw dear? I pull this out... Luckily she does have a sence of humour!)

Now had I pulled this one out in the cafe I probably would be divorced now... This one really is 8ft tall... A monster straw... Not a close up trick but great for the stage.

Be the first to own this fabulous new item from Sorcery Mfg. Released on 08/16/02 These have only been released to a few to a select delears.

A Brand New Appearing Pole Item that can produced in the Spectator’s Hands! They hold on to the bag while you pull out this 7’ tall Beautiful Magicians Staff. They are no closer to the answer then the other members of the audience… If anything they are more dumbfounded. Nothing remains in the bag! Now for the Fun part…. You cause the staff to shrink while in full view of everyone. Yes… they all get to watch as this thing gets smaller and smaller until it is only 4ft tall!!! Then the NEXT part gets even better... YOU HAND IT TO THEM!!! Like the other appearing pole products it has no coils or springs! When you hand it to them… they have in their hands what appears to be a solid Sorcerer’s Scepter. It is rigid , collapsing, shrinking and growing seem beyond impossible! They can look and stare at the thing, but they are no closer to the answer. Perfect for Kids and Adults… Easy to do! Packs small and plays huge! Great addition to any Sorcerer’s Costume! Nice!

The colour changing records was a great classic of magic it has been brought up to date with these beautifully made CD's. You show three bright silver CD's front and back. Place one CD into a small "envelope" and wave a colored hanky over it (supply your own hanky). As this CD comes out of the "envelope" it changes color, matching the hanky. You repeat the process with the remaining CD's, transforming to red, then yellow and climax with green. You show the "envelope" empty each time. BUT... the beauty is with this version the "envelope" is not necessarily required to perform the effect. They can change colour one at a time in full view, and then change back again, all in plain view. These are very nicely made from scratch as a magic effect, not just created with "sticky backed plastic" at a later date. A quality prop you can treasure.

What a great opening to any act. You walk on stage holding a lit firebrand. Suddenly it vanishes into thin air! Or changes into a silk! In the blink of an eye, the flaming torch completely vanishes! Comes with durable brass torch and instructions.

These two beautifully made gimmicks will enable you to produce fire from the palms of your hands, even make it jump from one hand to the other. These gimmicks are in my opinion as good if not better than some I have seen costing twice, even three times as much.

You walk out before your audience and display several torn pieces of newspaper. Each piece is shown freely and openly. You explain that you are trying to find a certain article, but unfortunately you can't seem to locate it. In a moment of inspiration, you drop the pieces and they visibly fall restored into a complete newspaper! Tony Stevens' NO TEAR is a startling and visual restoration of a newspaper. Many performers are calling it the most amazing restoration ever invented! It comes complete with everything you need and it' s ready to perform right out of the package! No wading or folding... The pieces just seem to melt back together. The gimmick can be put into any newspaper and once inside, it can be used for dozens of shows before you need to change the paper. There is no difficult handling or complicated moves...in fact it's virtually self working!

One of the most deceptive arm choppers ever devised. THE BLADE IS ALWAYS IN FULL VIEW! You introduce the Disecto Arm Chopper and graphically illustrate how any object placed into any of its three holes are chopped to pieces. Next, you ask for a "victim," from the audience. Your victim now puts their hand through the wrist hole and they are secured in. More carrots placed in both top and bottom holes... After suitable byplay, you force the blade down through the carrot in the top hole, slicing it in half! Continue pushing the blade through their arm and then through the lower carrot carrot slicing it also in two... The vegetables are once again "Disected", but of course the person's arm remains unharmed They remove their wrist, and is still attached to their arm! Much to the chagrin of some members of the audience no doubt! Entertaining magic that demands your audience's attention. Packs flat, yet plays big for any show...Slice & Dice with DISECTO!

Perform Surrounded! Only One Blade! Fantastic Paint Work! Blade is Always in Full View!

Chinese Rice Bowls

Another all time spectacular classic of magic revived and very nicely made in aluminium. The performer shows two empty bowls. One of is filled to the brim with rice. The other bowl is placed over the rice filled one. When uncovered, the rice has magically doubled in quantity, over flowing the bowls. The rice is now emptied out, and the empty bowls are placed together again. When separated the bowls are found to be full of water, which is poured from bowl to bowl. As it is being poured, it is obvious that the quantity is increasing dramatically. This is a lovely set of "special" bowls that do the work for you!

Now you can perform the classic ancient RICE BOWL EFFECT without the fear of failure or troublesome mess. The effect is the same but much easier to perform, the bowls are shown empty, one bowl is filled to the brim with rice, the rice then doubles in quantity. The excess rice is removed. The remaining rice then vanishes and changes to water, which is poured from bowl to bowl! The two bowls are shown unmistakably empty at the beginning. THE SPECTATORS CAN LOOK RIGHT INTO THE BOWLS. NO PLASTIC DISCS OR RUBBER COVERS ARE USED!!! The principle is truly scientific. The above description of the effect is exactly as you perform it. At the finale the flow of the water is completely under the control of the performer. You receive THREE aluminium bowls. Two Rice Bowls and an extra bowl to be used to hold the rice and for pouring the water into at the end. It compliments the set and will add a touch of class!

Out of quarantine at last… Made famous by David Williamson. Very cute and cuddly a great hit with the ladies and the children. Feed him twice daily with "invisigrain". Comes with Care guide and training manual.

The great Magi shows three pieces of rope each a different length. One short - one medium and of course one long. He takes the ends, three in each hand and pulls… To the surprise of everyone the pieces of rope seem to stretch until they are all the same length. After showing each rope clearly now the same length you reverse the process and each rope returns to it's original size and of course all three pieces can be minutely examined. Easy to do and a real stunner one of the great classic tricks of all time. You've simply got to have it.

Ideal for both the children's entertainer for "baking a cake" routines or the smart sophisticated performer to produce ribbons, doves or ???? Can be used as both a single or a double load. Beautifully made in spun aluminium with a pedestal base. One of the nicest I've seen in a long time.

Dancing Butterflies

The magician opens a fan and begins waving it back and forth towards the ceiling. Two butterflies appear and begin dancing in the air above the fan. Suddenly, a cloud of butterflies burst upwards and slowly float down to the floor! Comes complete with fan and 5 bundles of coloured butterflies and of course the instructions. A very nice variation of the snowstorm in china effect!

Multiplying Golf Balls

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 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.

Price: £8

Joker Poker - Jumbo (Jose de la Torre)

Recounting a story of a poker game, you show a giant poker hand with three sixes. Noticing the player on your right having three sevens, you discard one of the sixes and receive an eight. You now magically change all the cards into eights. When you notice the player on your left has three nines, you discard an eight and pick-up a Joker. But, to your dismay all the cards turn into jokers not just their faces but their backs as well. Yes it's true, all faces and backs are shown as Jokers. You are left with only three cards with no trace of any sixes, eights, or back designs.
Complete with illustrated instructions and five giant (7"x11") gaffed cards. Very easy.
