Close-up Magic (SY Catalogue)
Effects in this page:
These little christmasy bells are very easy to manipulate and even ring when they are shaken! If you can manipulate coins and small balls, these bells will pose no problem. They are furnished as four small bells and a slightly bigger one for use as a final production. You can produce them magically and use them in various routines, and in fact, they are supplied with four different routines! Travelling Bells: three bells vanish and appear magically in your hand until you end up with a large bell! Bells Penetration (two routines) : one at a time, three bells penetrate the table top into your hand held under the table! Flying Bells: the bells pass magically from one hand to the other! Chink a Chink: the chink-a-chink routine with the bells! The bells are ideal for the Christmas season but with a little story, they can be perfromed all the year round.

You will love him! He is lots more fun and more versatile than the usual wooden card duck! Even if you just use him as a hand puppet, the kids will love his antics! And there's more!! You can also use him as a vent duck!

Invisible Cigarette Production
Pretend to catch an invisible cigarette from the air and put it to your lips. Take out a matchbox, remove a match and pretend to light the invisible cigarette.

You can now reproduce the ring from wherever you fancy, from a bread roll, from your pocket, from a closed ring box or, and we recommend this highly, from our Velvet Nest of Bags (see below). This is not a self-working trick. You have to practise the moves. You are supplied with my original method of secretly releasing a ring from a knot on the cord. The method is very clean and natural - no suspicious moves or finger contortions! You will have to give it some practice to learn the mechanics to be able to do everything smoothly but once learned, you have a close-up gem forever! We supply you with the right type and length of cord and a nice ring for you to practise with though you will prefer to do the trick with a borrowed ring once you have learnt it. This is good!

Now catch another coin and throw it towards the bag again. Another coin appears! Remove that and continue catching coins from the air! In the end, tip the last coin out from the bag and it changes visibly into a giant coin! You can do an impromptu miser’s dream with this bag or you can use it as a mini egg bag using a coin (or other small object) instead of an egg! For kiddies’ shows, use sweets and chocolates! You can apparently produce a number of sweets and finish by producing a small bar of chocolate or a small lollipop! To use the bag as a mini egg bag, show the bag and a coin. Drop the coin into the bag then pretend to take it out again. In reality, you let it slide into the secret pocket. You can now make it disappear from the closed hand (or from the pocket) then make it reappear in the bag again. These actions can be repeated a few times and you can incorporate many of the egg bag moves with sucker explanations, etc. in the routine. Finally, produce the large coin as a climax. Play around with the bag and you will find many ideas! The bag is furnished with a nice jumbo Chinese coin.

The effect is a classic by now and nothing new, but we do supply our usual soft white rope with a large handsome plastic ring that gives the effect that added touch of class. The ring is small enough to be transported around for close up yet is large enough to be performed on stage!

It
floats from hand to hand, moves up and down, and side to side. It even
dances on the spectator’s hand! In the end, the silk returns to the hands, the knot is undone and the silk passed to the spectator for examination! Normally, the Dancing Silk is an effect for parlour or stage. Here is a method and routine for the close-up performer. The silk can be examined before and after the exhibition. This routine is ideal for the table-hopper. Normally, the Dancing Silk is an effect for parlour or stage. Here is a method and routine for the close-up performer.

Show a mirrored star at your fingertips explaining that it is a “wishing star”. Ask the spectator to make a wish, close your hand over the star, open your hand again and the star has vanished. Perhaps it has gone to realize the spectator’s wish? Who knows?? You receive a silver mirrored star. Combine the star with our other star tricks and create a routine with stars.

You can use any vanish for the coin but we do highly recommend our Substitution Hanky (see item under Accessories section) which makes a really perfect combination with the trick! Note these points again: * The bags are all tightly sealed and the spectator himself opens each bag as he finds it. * He himself finds the vanished article in the last bag. * The vanished article is loaded instantly without any fumbling or hesitation. * The bags remain flat at all times (no unsightly bulge as with a nest of boxes) and the trick can be performed close-up and surrounded. * The trick is always ready!

Here is a pretty variation
of the Card Duck! This is a hand-puppet duck which will open its
beak, make a quack and shoot out its tongue! What is more, you can have
him peck out the selected card from a miniature deck of cards!
The magician displays four coloured cords and explains that a banknote
is tied in the centre of one of the cords. Three spectators select a
cord each leaving one for the magician. As each spectator selects his
cord, it is removed and shown to be without any banknote. Needless to
say, the last cord left for the magician is the one with the banknote
tied on!
Borrow a finger ring, thread it on a cord and tie a loose knot over it.
Close your hand over the ring and knot, wave the magic wand (or utter
the magic words!), open your hand .... and the ring is gone! The knot is
still there, but the ring has vanished! 
Display a red "ruby" on the fingers. Wave the hand slightly up
and down and the gem suddenly changes into a blue "sapphire"!
Make another waving motion and the gem changes again into a brilliant
"diamond"! 
trace! 
The trick looks like
fantastic sleight of hand but in reality, it is very, very simple to do!
You are supplied with a special gimmick with all the gemstones. 
Show a small empty bag with a net front. Catch an invisible coin from
the air and throw it towards the bag … the coin appears visibly in the
bag! Remove the coin and place it in the pocket.
This is a routine with a piece of rope and a large plastic ring. The
ring and ropes are unprepared and can be examined. They penetrate
repeatedly through each other in an inexplicable manner and in the end,
the ring is actually tossed into a large knot tied on the rope!
The magician produces a silk and ties a knot in one corner to form a
“head”. After some magic passes, the silk becomes alive and goes
through various animated moves. 
Here is a set of mirrored stars with which you can perform lots of
routines as the stars can be handled like coins.
A marked coin or
borrowed ring is vanished by your favourite method. The spectator
himself opens a small velvet bag which he has been holding all the time
and removes a still smaller bag. He opens this bag and finds another
smaller bag, tightly sealed with an elastic band. This last bag is
opened and inside is the vanished coin or ring!
