The Great Gorgonzola Traveling Egg.
There have been some variations of this effect during the past 125 years (although not all of them have been commercially available). In Professor Hoffrnann's day the fake was covered with bran. Confetti and sawdust have also been used. Confetti seems to have been the most favored material since it is the most colorful.
The magician shows an egg and vanishes it. He then shows a glass which he hands out for examination.The audience having been satisfied that the glass is an ordinary one, the performer now shows a brown paper bag which, he says, has some confetti in it. He thrusts the glass into the bag and brings it out heaping full of confetti. He levels off the top, dropping the excess confetti into the bag. During his subsequent patter, he scoops some confetti out of the glass and, if he chooses, tosses it up into the air. He then picks up a silk handkerchief and drapes it over the glass. After pronouncing the magic words, or other suitable hocus-pocus, he whips the silk from the glass, slowly raising it into the air, revealing that the confetti has disappeared, the vanished egg having taken its place. The raw egg may now be broken into the glass and thus proved genuine!
The performer displays two tubes, colored red and white, and a blue can with a cover which fits in the tubes. Some personal articles are borrowed from members of the audience, like a handkerchief, watch etc. and placed in the canister. This is proof that the canister cannot be changed for a duplicate. The canister is then covered by one of the tubes. Magically it passes to under the other tube. The canister is opened and the borrowed items returned to the spectators.
The apparatus is well made in metal and powder coated to give you a long lasting prop. It comes to you complete with instructions.
The magician places a collar around a helpers neck and penetrates the neck with 2 swords.

The classic presentation involves showing a sheet of newspaper clearly front and back. This is rolled into the cone, and a mug full of milk apparently poured into the cone. You make a tossing motion towards the audience with the cone, and the liquid has vanished. The paper sheet is unrolled, shown on both sides, then balled up and tossed into the audience for them to examine if they wish.
A variation of the above would be to have white colored confetti fly out in place of the milk when you toss the contents of the cone at the audience.
A more elaborate presentation can be performed around a theme of Brain Washing. You call up a volunteer, and state it appears he requires to be brain washed because he has a dirty mind. If he protests, you can ask him when was the last time he washed his mind. He will probably say never, and you comment that anything which has never been washed must be dirty!
The basic theme has ample scope for humorous patter. You now introduce your brain washing paraphernalia which is on a tray, covered by large napkin on your table. The napkin is removed and tucked around his neck like a bib. You next display a pair of flexible opaque plastic pipes. In one of these at one end is fixed a plastic funnel. The other paraphernalia comprises of a mug of soap water (actually the Milk Mug with a dilute milk solution) and an empty can. The empty can is in fact a Foo Can. Spectator is asked to hold the pipes to his ears. You pour the soap water into one ear via the funnel. Now have him release the pipe in that ear. Have the spectator nod his head around as if swirling the soap water in his head to thoroughly rinse out his brain. Now have him tilt his head to the opposite side as if draining out all the water through the pipe in the other ear into the can. Finally pick up the can and pour out the liquid into a transparent container.
The original presentation for the WATCH BOX was to borrow a Watch, which was locked by the spectator in the box. The Watch was stolen away, and reproduced from a loaf of Bread, or other similar place. The box was unlocked and shown empty. This sort of presentation can be used with any personal item, which can be uniquely identified by the borrower.
The box can also be used as a PREDICTION CHEST.
The prop we supply is handsomely crafted in solid wood, and comes complete with lock, and instructions for many applications for this utility prop.
With a snap of his fingers the magician instantly and visibly causes the CD to change color. The CD is removed from the frame, now in an entirely different color. This is repeated with two other silver CDs which are visibly changed to two other colors.
The props are made with real CD's, Compact Disks. This effect is similar to the popular Color Changing Records, but works on a different principle. The compact size enables you to handle the change in a very snappy and effective manner.
Comes to you complete with special mechanical case, required CD's and instructions.
