Maxello Magic

"Rodger Lovins has done it once again! He has created a piece of magic that is a real stunner! When Rodger sent me a copy of his new idea, I knew right away that 'PLAY TIME' would be another success in a long line of ideas coming from this magical genius." - John Rogers

"It fits in my wallet and is with me at all times. I really like the way Rodger thinks! Play Time is a keeper." - Stephen Bargatze

"Thanks Rodger, your 'Play-Time' is my new favorite trick to carry in my pocket." - Mac King

The Magician has two cards selected from a deck of cards. He tells the spectators that a lot of people ask him, "How long have you been doing magic?"

The magician then shows the spectators an old black and white photo of himself as a child. The small child, age one, is holding a playing card. The magician tells the spectators that "A picture is worth a thousand words."

He tells the first spectator that on the reverse side of this picture is another photo of me holding a face up card. The magician asks the first spectator to reveal their selection. The photo is turned over and the child star is holding a playing card. It's a Match!

The magician turns the photo face down on the table and asks 2nd spectator to reveal his selection. The magician then asks the 2nd spectator to turn the photo over. The photo has changed to match the other selected card!

• Only one photo is used.
• It never leaves their sight!
• Easy to do.

Rodger Lovins has been creating magic for over 30 years and this may well be his ultimate creation. Don't pass this one up!

Comes complete with wallet-size double sided photo, gimmick, plastic business card holder and 12 page booklet with other routines, tips and methods.

A great new educational effect that's perfect for school or library shows.

The performer shows a folder with a picture of library on the front. Inside the "library are books, a table and lamp for reading, and...and...and...oops - no Bob the Book Worm! Maybe he's hiding behind some books. Meantime, the folder is laid aside and the performer shows five giant cards depicting different kinds of books and stories you can find at the library - fairy tales, history, adventure, geography, how-to books, and - wait! - here he is! - Bob the Book Worm!

But Bob is a tricky fellow, and before you know it, he has disappeared and his card is completely blank! Where is he? The kids guess, you guess, but nobody can find him until he makes his surprise reappearance which leave the children hoarse and gasping as you and Bob the Book Worm take a bow. Classic children's magic at its best!

Inspired by Dai Vernon's "Twisting the Aces", "The Last Trick of Jacob Daley", and Ryan Swigert's "Kickback".

A card is selected, signed, and lost back into the deck. Taking only the 4 Aces (deck discarded), you perform the cleanest of the "Twisting the Aces" routines - with the Aces reversing one by one with no false counts.

The black Aces are now placed into the card case - there is no doubt at all that they do go into the case - leaving the red Aces, "These will now magically produce your signed card." The spectator holds the red Aces but nothing happens. Or does it. On turning his two cards over he finds he is now holding the black Aces!

Finally, you tip out the cards from the card case revealing the two red Aces - but they have one card caught between them....the signed selection!

Comes complete with 8 page instructional booklet and necessary components.
