Maxello Magic

This is a clever Quadruple prediction effect, working on a similar one behind principle to the Mental Epic Slate. The performer has a wooden stand on his table, holding up a clear glass sheet, attached to which are four miniature bulldog clips numbered 1 to 4. The performer writes a prediction and fixes it under Clip No.1. A spectator is now invited to call out any city in the world which he likes. A second prediction is written and placed in Clip No. 2. A second spectator is invited to name a relative the performer could not possibly know. This is repeated with the other two clips, with predictions being placed in them, before the spectators call out their selections. These selections could be anything you fancy, a word from a book or dictionary, a telephone number, name of a favorite person or place, or whatever you please, where the prediction can be indicated by a word or two written on a piece of paper. Finally for the climax the performer invites the spectators to remove the four predictions and check the contents. And needless to say, the performer is right in all four cases.

The prop supplied by us for this effect comprise of a wooden stand, a glass sheet with four pegs to hook the bulldog clips on, and four miniature bulldog clips. In addition to this you will require some paper slips (about 4 inch long and 3 inch wide is a good size) and a pen to write with, (a bold felt or marker pen is preferable for a large audience), and the instructions that make this a simple, subtle, and very effective mental miracle.

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!

Performer has a spectator FREELY select a card from an ordinary deck of cards. Without looking at it, the performer tables the card face down and brings out a small leather business card wallet from which he removes his business card and a dollar bill. "On the back of my business card is a prediction. If the prediction does not match the card you selected, you win the cash!" The spectator perks up as the performer places the selected card face down inside the wallet, leaving the side of the card protruding from within the compartment.

"Would you be impressed if the same card was written on the business card?" asks the performer. The spectator agrees, and the performer turns over the business card to reveal the words, "THE SAME CARD!" ... "actually," says the performer, "the real prediction is written on the back of the money. Turn it over and see for yourself."

The spectator turns the bill over and the words, "Four of Clubs" is written on the bill. The performer calls attention to the selected card in the business card wallet. Taking it out slowly and dramatically, he turns it over to reveal the Four of Clubs! It's the same card indeed!

This beautiful, ingenious piece of close-up mentalism comes to you with the special leather business card holder and detailed instructions. You'll have so much fun with this, you'll never put it down!

The Performer displays an empty double compartment box, with doors on front and top of box, and a solid Die.The Die is placed in one compartment, and the audience asked to remember where it is. The box is tilted, and the doors to that compartment are opened, and the die is seen to have vanished.

The audience is not impressed, because they have heard the Die slide to the opposite compartment. They ask the magician to open the doors to the other compartment. The magician closes the doors to the first compartment. then tilts the box, the Audience can hear the die sliding over, then opens the doors to the adjacent compartment to show that it is empty. This business of sliding die from one compartment to the other is repeated, till the audience is howling for all four doors to be opened.

Finally, the Magician opens all four doors, and proves the die has in fact vanished. The solid die is found in hat, or some other container.
