Maxello Magic

The Sympathetic Wands use a fascinating variety effects that involve levitation, animation and Telekinesis.

You show two regular soft-drink bottles made from glass and two normal wands. Everything rests on a nice looking tray.

Place one of the wands into one of the soda bottles and touch the wand with the other wand. Move the wand in your hand up and down. The wand in the bottle moves up and down as if connected by magnets to the other wand. (No, there are no magnets involved!)

Place one of the wands in one bottle and move the other wand in front of the other bottle up and down. It makes the same movements and moves up and down in the same way!

Something unexpected follows: After one wand has been placed in one of the bottles, the other wand is placed in the second soft-drink-bottle: Now the first wand shoots upwards as if there was not enough space for it in the bottle! The wand now levitates free inside the bottle. When you push it down, the other wand starts to levitate in the other bottle! In the end, both wands levitate inside their bottles!

At the end of this fascinating routine, you place one of the wands vertical on top of a bottle and concentrate while not making any move... the wand starts to rotate - first slowly and then faster! Take the wand in your hand and take your bow!

Is it a complicated mechanical marvel? Are wires used or is a thread running through the room? Is there a secret assistant? Nothing like that at all! The innocent-looking transparent tray contains the secret. You just have to place the wands in the bottles and everything happens nearly automatically.

• No sleight of hand! No long practice needed!
• Can be performed everywhere even surrounded by spectators!

Ramos Sympathetic wands comes with the special tray, detailed instructions and gimmick. You will need two wands.

A Triple Whammy Effect! You begin by laying a blue backed prediction card face down on the table. Then you display a red backed deck back and front. And with the help of a spectator, the magic begins...You ask the spectator to give a number of their own choosing.

They now use that number to select a card. The remainder of the deck is placed off to the side and the prediction is now turned over to reveal that it matches the spectator's card!

But it's not perfect match because the selection has a red back and the prediction is blue...you respond, "No problem!" and with a snap of your fingers both cards now have blue backs! The audience is certainly impressed, but you explain that the prediction you can understand, where all the other cards went is another matter... and with that you turn over the remainder of the deck to reveal all the faces are blank!

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.

Like the ESP-Mental Stand recently introduced by us, this prop was also inspired by Ed Mellon's Quantimental Stand. The original effect used different colored balls, placed on a stand. Four spectators each secretly selected a ball, and placed it in their pocket. The performer could divine which spectator had selected which ball.

While this prop uses the same basic modus-operandi as the original Quantimental stand, it greatly enhances the scope of the effect. You can use this with eight spectators, who can select playing cards, design cards, number cards etc.

You could use this outfit with a single spectator, and 8 number cards, asking him or her to pick up the cards in order to form an imaginary telephone number, such as 8124-5673. You could then reveal the selected number. The ideal effect with this model, which apparently doubles the probabilities against a random guess is to use four cards and four envelopes. The four cards could have different colored spots on them, (or numbers or designs or whatever you choose). The envelopes could be numbered (1-2-3-4) or have colored spots, or designs, so each envelope can be uniquely identified.

In this presentation each of the four spectators selects any card, then any envelope, and places the card in the envelope, which is placed in his pocket. In spite of the astronomical odds, the performer can correctly divine which spectator selected which card, and placed it in which envelope.

We supply you the special Card-I-Mental stand and some accessories like blank cards, pay envelopes, and printed cards & envelopes so that you can use this for the presentation(s) that best meet your preference. No electronics, no magnets, no stooges, no forces. Requires a little handling practice and presentation, and you have a miracle in your act.
