Maxello Magic

The earliest recorded reference we can find for this effect is by E. W. Bud Morris, who described the idea in his "Magic With Electronics" (1973) as the Brain Wave Lamp. The earliest commercial version was probably Bob Ostin's Beam Shot in the mid 1970's with subsequent versions under various names like Laser Light.

This model incorporates the better features of the original item, plus some! Basically this is a pocket torch, which works in the normal way. You can give it to a spectator for examination, and he can switch it off and on. However, the torch can also be switched on and off secretly by the performer whenever he so wishes. The uses of the prop are only limited by your imagination, but we give some ideas in this manuscript as a starting point.

We supply you the special torch complete and ready to use. The only requirement is a pair of penlight batteries, (regular AA size) which must be inserted in the torch.

An absolutely normal watch... unless you tap a button. Then a card will appear and disappear every 30 seconds!

CARD IN WATCH is a very practical magic trick since it looks like a REAL watch, plus it is pretty classical and beautiful so noone will ever notice you watch might be magic. By pressing a button you can have a card appearing and disappearing every 30 seconds!

CARD IN WATCH is the easiest trick to use ever. Just force a card to your audience and this card will appear in your watch. Here are two routines for you to start:

1. Force a card and give your watch to your audience asking him/her, to count how long you need to find the card in the deck. After 30 seconds the card will appear in the watch completely astonishing your audience.
2. Force a card and ask your audience to put it back in the deck. Shuffle the deck and hide the card so that it is not in the deck anymore. Explain you're sorry that you cannot find the right card. Finally look at your watch and explain the reason is the card moved to your watch!

The performer announces that he'd like to try an experiment, and invites a volunteer to the stage to help him. He asks her to think of a simple object. Once the picture is clear in her mind, she is asked to try to draw the object using an Etch-a-Sketch. To make it more of a challenge (and funnier), she is asked to draw it while holding it upside down. While she is doing this, the performer attempts to draw what she is thinking on a sketch pad. When she is done, the volunteer turns over her drawing to show just a random pattern of lines. She didn't do such a good job at trying to draw the object. (No one could under these conditions!) The performer shows what he drew, and the drawings match exactly! The drawing is given to the volunteer as a souvenir.Completely mechanical.

Easy to do. Instructions, routine and special gimmick enclosed, you supply the pad, marker and Etch-a-Sketch.

A classic Comedy prop. Liquid can be made to pour out at will from an empty funnel.

Similar to the Comedy Funnel in effect, but larger and working on a different method. This funnel permits you to produce a large quantity or water or other liquid from any part of a spectator's body, or anywhere else you wish.

Have a small boy drink a glass full of water. Now ask him to pump his arms up and down, as you touch the funnel to various parts of his body, and he sprouts a leak wherever you touch him. You call up a spectator on stage and state you are going to have him BRAIN WASHED. Pour soap water into one ear with the help of a MILK JUG through the funnel. Then hold the funnel to the other ear and have the water emerge from the funnel. If the water that emerges is dirtier in color, you can explain that the spectator has a dirty mind!

Draw a cow on a slate. Pretend to milk it into the funnel, and have real milk pour out of the funnel at the bottom. Or you could draw a bottle, and pour out the appropriate drink. If you are not much of an artist, you could even show an ad for a drink in a magazine, and pour out the drink from the picture via the funnel.

These are just a few ideas, from which you can milk out a lot of laughs or mystery. Use your imagination and you will find many other uses for this excellent magical prop.

Spun brass prop, chromium plated in a gleaming silver finish.

A completely inexplicable mental effect. Is it real telepathy? It remains a mystery.

The medium (who could be your partner) is blindfolded by members of the audience in the following manner: First, two cotton-wool balls are put over his or her eyes and taped crosswise with sticking plaster. Then the eyes are further firmly blindfolded with a piece of cloth, and a second, large cloth is placed over the head. It is not a trick blindfold! The medium really can't see anything!

After this is done, two members (any!) of the audience lead the medium out of the hall and make sure that he or she is completely unaware of the goings-on in the hall.

You now hand somebody in the audience a simple wooden box and six silk scarves of different colors and tell him or her to choose a scarf, put it into the box, padlock the box and put the other scarves into his/her pocket. You now take a seat in the auditorium and sit motionless. You may also be led out of the hall, so as to avoid any contact with the medium at all. Brought back into the hall, the medium takes the box in his or her hand and immediately tells which scarf is locked in it!

Instead of silk scarves, it may be any objects at all, such as playing cards, dice of different colors, different coins borrowed from audience members, etc.! Also, the number of objects is not limited to six, but can even be higher.

This AMAZING routine from the creative mind of Peter Eggink is eye candy of the highest calibre. "Breakout" is an amazing closer for your ACR, or just great as a stand alone effect.

A card case is shown empty with a hole cut out through the front. Any card is selected and signed by the spectator. The card is lost inside the pack and shuffled thoroughly. Next, the cards are placed back inside the card case. Through the hole the spectator can clearly see the top card of the pack. With just a wave of the hand and under truly impossible conditions, the TOP card INSIDE the card case VISUALLY changes into the spectator's selection! Through the hole the card with their initials can now be seen!

Now for the final kicker: with just a shake of the card case the signed selection visually LEAPS right THROUGH the hole of the card case!

This AMAZING routine from the creative mind of Peter Eggink is eye candy of the highest calibre. "Breakout" is an amazing closer for your ACR, or just great as a stand alone effect.

The effect comes complete with a high quality hand crafted card case and gimmick. Use your own deck of cards.

Three cards are shown, each with a part of a cute, topless pin-up girl, there's her head, her middle, and her bottom! The head and middle are dealt face down on the table, and the bottom is inserted back out partway into your pocket. You now ask someone where the middle is. They say, On the table... But you remove the card from your pocket and show it is now the middle! The middle is placed between the two cards on the table. The big surprise comes when you now offer to reveal the complete picture. The cards are turned up and instead of the girl there's now a picture of a shabby horse... you've just been Horsin Around! A great bar and party gag. Good for a laugh every time. Real easy to do. Each trick comes with specially printed, poker-size cards and illustrated instructions.

GION Deck is the fairest and strongest mental effect that fools laymen and magicians alike.

The magician takes out two cards out of a red deck of cards as prediction. Then he introduces a blue deck of cards and shuffles it to show the deck is well mixed.

The deck is given to a spectator and he/she shuffles the deck. He/she stops shuffling at any time and places the top card onto the table. Then the first spectator hands the deck to another spectator. The second spectator does the same thing as the first spectator did.

The red prediction cards match the freely selected blue cards.

The magician does not touch the decks after he produces them. Everything is done in spectators hands. There is no complicated moves. They only have to shuffle the deck and place a card onto the table. Memorized deck system is not necessary. Performer can do this effect in a very casual manner. Prediction cards are not switched. You can prepare a prediction in your favorite way. You should always carry the GION Deck with you.

DVD includes how the trick works, how to perform and how to show it more effectively.

No difficult sleights are needed. You can perform this trick in a surrounded situation. The deck is not treated with rough and smooth chemicals. You can spread the deck in a natural manner.
