Diablo

 

          Recounting a story of friendly demons, the magician proposes a demonstration. He sups his hands together and invites the spectator to watch closely. A bright glow suddenly appears within the darkness of his cupped hands!  After a few seconds, the face of a demon appears amidst the eerie glow. Suddenly the light disappears, the magician separates his hands, and the demon has disappeared!

          What did the spectator see? An illusion?  An hallucination? A demon? Who knows??? 

          This is obviously an effect out of the ordinary, and should appeal to you if you like horror and bizarre magic. Presented with a little story, it will be an unforgettable effect! 

 

Price: € 55.00

 


 

Crushed Die

(Tora)

 

          This is a comical close-up effect! 

          Show a small die at your fingertips. Cover it with your other hand and crush it. Separate your hands again. The die has now been crushed flat and can be given out for examinatgion or made to disappear completely ino thin air!

          The trick is very easy to do. Carry it around in your pocket and you will be always ready to make your audience laugh! You are furnished with a special die and the flat, plastic die.  

 

Price:  € 19.00

 


 

Flip Flop

 

 

         Exhibit a set of cardboard plaques with metallic floral decorations. Close up the plaques then let them drop open again. Surprisingly, all the floral decorations have changed colour!

          You can make the flowers change from single colour to multi colours or vice versa. For example, show all the colours different, ask the audience to select a colour (forced) then make all the flowers changed to the selected colour.

           For kiddies' shows, you can show all the flowers the same colour. Ask the children to name a colour and you will be sure to get different colours called out. Create as much confusion as you can, then to satisfy everyone, make the flowers multi coloured!

          The plaques work automatically. Open them out to show the flowers. Close them then let them drop open again and the flowers have changed colour! Or you can hold the chain up by the topmost plaque. Give it a slight twist and the plaques will drop down one after another making the colour changes visibly - a very pretty effect! You can make the colour changes continuously back and forth without re-setting. Just pick up the plaques and you are always ready!

Flip Flop Jumbo

 

        

          Exhibit a set of large cardboard plaques with metallic floral decorations. Close up the plaques then let them drop open again. Surprisingly, all the floral decorations have changed colour!

          You can make the flowers change from single colour to multi colours or vice versa. For example, show all the colours different, ask the audience to select a colour (forced) then make all the flowers changed to the selected colour.

           For kiddies' shows, you can show all the flowers the same colour. Ask the children to name a colour and you will be sure to get different colours called out. Create as much confusion as you can, then to satisfy everyone, make the flowers multi coloured!

          This is a jumbo model of the above trick. The plaques are larger and the trick can be performed on stage. Open out the plaques to show the flowers. Close them then let them drop open again and the flowers have changed colour! Or you can hold the chain up by the topmost plaque. Give it a slight twist and the plaques will drop down one after another making the colour changes visibly - a very pretty effect!

Growing Pearl

 

          This unusual apparatus permits you to present different effects. Here are two of them.

 

Effect 1.

          The magician displays an oyster shell. He opens the shell and shows a tiny pearl inside. The pearl is removed and vanished. The shell is opened again and there is now a bigger pearl. This is also removed and again vanished. Once more, the magician opens the shell and there is now a giant pearl!

 

Effect 2.

          The magician shows an oyster shell, opens it and exhibits a tiny pearl. This is removed and placed on the table. The shell is closed, a magic pass is made and the shell opened again to reveal inside a larger pearl. This pearl is removed and placed beside the small one on the table. The shell is closed and another magic pass made. This time, when the shell is opened, a giant pearl is seen inside! 

          The Growth of a Pearl effect is an idea from M. Kumar of India and is based on the Growing Die. You will find this pearl version very charming for the ladies as well and you can of course combine it with other pearl effects. 

 

Price:  € 13.00  

 


 

Gypsy Thread, Luminous

 

          The magician snaps off a piece of sewing thread about 60 cm. long from its spool. The thread is then broken into small pieces. A piece is held between the forefinger and thumb and the rest of the broken pieces are rolled up into a small ball and then attached to this piece. After the magic words, the thread is pulled out and shown to have been completely restored!

          The “Gypsy Thread” is a classic effect, very mysterious and magical. There are different ways to perform it but the method supplied is simple and very clean.

          You receive a spool of special luminous thread which glows under ultra-violet lights and the necessary instructions. The thread is available in orange or yellow colours.

 

Price.  € 5.00 

 


 

Imagi Bubbles

 

 

          This is not a trick but a blowing of bubbles in a poetic manner. You show an unusual bottle in the shape of a crescent moon, then using the dipper supplied, blow out a quantity of coloured soap bubbles accompanied with appropriate patter, to finish your close-up act. 

          The bottle can also be worn as a mysterious pendant around the neck. The soap solution can be re-filled from most magic shops (or toy shops) that stock the soap bubble solution. 

 

Price: € 35.00

 


 

Rising Matchbox

(Pat Conway)

 

          Next time when you need to light up a match (to light a candle or a cigarette for example)  use this matchbox. Take it out, open it to show it normal, then close it again. Now hold it with your fingers and with no false moves,  you can make the match box open slowly amd mysteriously all by itself! After it is opened, you can remove the cover and even dump all the matches out on the table and show everything freely - no strings, no gimmicks, no magnets ...... nothing suspicious at all!

          Note that you can show the box freely before and after the effect. The drawer can be removed and show all round at anytime. There is nothing attached, no invisible threads or whatnot. As they say, the matchbox is self contained. You will find this to be a real gem of an effect! 

 

Price:  € 20.50

 


 

Ball & Tube, Locking    

 

 

          Show a shiny steel ball and an elegant brass tube then place the ball on to of the tube. The ball is obviously too large to fit in the tube. Concnetrate on the ball and tube, make some mysterious gestures and .... the ball slowly sinks into the tube! After a few seconds, it rises out of the tube again!

          The effect is repeated with the ball sinking out of sight into the tube then rising out again. To finish, the ball and tube are given to the spectator to examine .... he finds the ball just too big to fit int the tube!! 

          This classic effect is now available with a beautiful brass tube and steel ball and everything can be given for examination .... there is nothing to steal away and the whole presentation is easy and clean-cut! Very elegant apparatus! 

 

Price: € 20.00
