Large size, made in wood with metal trimmings.
The effect for the prop as supplied runs as follows. The performer shows a large wooden baton, with three cords running through it. At the end of each cord is a ball, two of which are of the same color (say red), and one a different color (say yellow). The performer shows the cords run freely through the holes, and the balls are securely tied on the cords. He claims he will make the ball jump from one cord to the other. He passes the baton behind his back, and the odd colored ball jumps from one end (say left) to the other (right).
The audience is not impressed, they know you are just turning the baton around behind your back. You repeat this once again, and even the politest member of your audience will not hesitate to express their dis-enchantment. You appear offended at not be believed, and offer to prove conclusively that the balls do jump from one cord to the other. The baton is passed behind the back once again, and when brought to the front, the odd colored ball is now tied on the middle rope, between the two similar colored ones.
The model we supply uses thick cords, and large balls, making it very visible even on the larger stage. However, you can easily adapt the baton for use in any of the other presentations that have appeared in print. You could perform this with three large silks, two of the same color, and one a different color. In this case the silks could be examined, then passed through the holes in the baton (with the help of a pencil or slim magic wand) and knotted on top. A very clean cut presentation, not possible with the traditional Monkey Bar. You could use colored ribbons in place of the cords.
Another popular presentation has a set of linked rings from a Linking Ring set tied to two of the cords, and a single ring to the third cord. The linked rings are adjacent to each other at the start, and the single ring appears between them at the finish. Other presentations involve different a fish at the ends of the cords. The fish is at the end of the fishing line. You could use any toy (birds, a monkey, rabbit, or even glo-bugs or aliens) tied to the cords, depending on your presentation theme. A mechanical prop, very easy to use.
You simply tie a knot in the cord around a small plastic tube. Thread one end of the cord through the tube and slip the knot off. The question is WHERE IS THE KNOT? IN THE TUBE OR IN YOUR HAND?
The answer is a BIG SURPRISE and provided a really novel close-up effect. Each time the finale is different.
First the knot is in the tube, then it's in your hand and then it VANISHES altogether! No skill or sleights! It'll intrigue you too, even as you present it! Montezooma will leave your spectators puzzling! A very clever pocket trick to carry with you at any time. You can't go wrong on this!
You receive a black plastic tube with an golden imprint "Montezooma" on it together with a piece of red cord and detailed instructions.
The mouse is pushed through the hand, and emerges as a large piece of cheese, several times bigger than the original mouse!
We supply you the special sponge prop, ready to use. It is a large size, making this visible for a large audience. The mouse head measures some 3 inch in width and 4 inch high, and the Piece of Cheese is 6 inch in width and 7 inch high.
Note: the item is hand crafted from a superior quality sponge, of a grade previously not available in this country. With a little care this will last a very long time.
You can present this with a suitable comment along the suggestions below.
This is my pet mouse and as you can see from the expression on his face, he is something of a dreamer! I wonder what he dreams about ... (push mouse head through the hand and transform to cheese).
Or for a Kid routine; "Who do you think this is? No not Mickey or Minnie, this is Wicky, the wonder mouse. And this is what he feeds on for his wonder powers (push through hand and transform)
They are folded to form a triangular tube. Performer reaches into the tube, and produces a large quantity of silks, ribbons, spring flowers, or other similar items.
Fitted with bells, and legs, so each clock will stand independently, creating the illusion of solid clocks.
As a production item, every performer will have his individual preference for performing this. You could produce a watch from any production prop, display it as a single watch, then multiply it one at a time to six watches.
Or you could produce the first watch apparently from thin air, and then cause the watches to multiply, displaying them between your fingers as in the multiplying ball effect. You could place the watches upright against a prop, or hang them on an improvised stand, comprising of a piece of wood or board, with six nails spaced out to hang the watches on.
Designed from an old Thayer era prop in stainless steel, this will appeal to both collectors and performers.
The performer displays a rectangular box open on top and bottom, where the front and back swivel completely open, allowing the audience to see all sides of, and right through the box, which is completely empty.
Closing the sides to reform the box, the magician reaches in and produces several silks, or a large bunch of flowers. He then reaches into the box and produces a solid glass full of milk, soda pop, beer, or any other liquid, which can be poured out of the glass, and drunk if you wish. The box is shown completely empty again.Handsomely constructed from laminated wood, this box is 4.5 inch square and 5.75 inch high, and comes complete with special plastic glass, and detailed photo-illustrated handling instructions.
Three attractive wooden beads are strung onto the center of two solid velvet cords. The spectator is asked to put his hand out and grasp the three beads in his fist. The spectator holds onto the three beads and the magician ties two of the ends around their hand. The ends of the cords are taken by the Magi and are pulled straight up penetrating through both the spectator's closed fist and the wooden beads. Another miracle has occurred!
In the past, this trick had to be set up ahead of time in order to pull it off successfully. Now, for the first time, you can do this over and over again, setting it up right in front of the spectators. You can even let them help you string the beads onto the cords. This is major breakthrough, and has been confirmed by reputable sources.
Comes complete with 2 black velvet cords, 3 wooden beads and instruction booklet.
A different method, using balloons and a long needle which can both be examined by the audience has been a very hot item. In effect performer displays a balloon and a large needle some 18 inch long. A spectator may examine the balloon, and blow it up himself. The long needle with a ribbon threaded through it is passed completely through the balloon, which can then again be handed out for examination. Even when you do this, you will be surprised with the results.
We supply you the specially made 18 inch long stainless steel needle and ribbon, a dozen special balloons that blow up to 12 inch in diameter, and full instructions in a neat box. Each balloon can be used only once, but the impact on the audience is well worth the price of the full outfit. We recommend this very highly. Needle Through Balloon comes to you complete with a dozen balloons, ready to use.

What People Are Saying:
"I must tell you, as usual I was too anxious to read the instructions that came with the bags first and I actually looked inside some bags and thought to myself, 'What the heck is there a gimmick here?' Then I read the instructions and I almost fell off my chair! All I can say is VERY, VERY CLEVER, Ken! In fact, I'm practically laughing out loud as I write this! Great thinking (again)!" - Charles - Hemet, CA
