Winter Spirit by Keith Lack Arlene Studios

Here is a stunning piece of performance magic with a winter theme just in time for those holiday gatherings.

Several people are asked to write down the first thing that comes to mind when they think of winter on a slip of paper. A spectator is selected and asked to collect the offerings and hand them to the magician. He mixes the slips and asks the spectator to select one and read it out loud to the group. The phrase "Winter Spirit" is called out by the spectator. The magician then takes a champagne or ice bucket from a nearby table and places it in the center of the spectators. All are encouraged to gather around the icy water.

The magician tells the following story. "That could mean two different things. One, it could mean the feeling one gets during winter and the holidays. The spirit of it all and so on. Or two, it could literally mean a spirit. The actual spirit of winter. As I am a magician and spirits are my business so to speak, I think it the more interesting interpretation and I know a little bit about this subject as well. So, let me run with this and see where it takes us. You see, the four seasons are as different as the spirits that rule them.

The winter spirit is the bolder of the group and if it were not for the others she would have covered the world in frost for all eternity. Fortunately the three other spirits will not stand for this and keep a tight rein on winter. She is only allowed to rule three months out of the year and then must be gone by the first day of spring. If she fails to do so, then Summer steps in and helps Spring heat things up a bit. When this happens, Winter melts away into a helpless slushy puddle much like this container of ice and water before us. You see, this is winter in her less powerful form. Just slush really. Yet, there is still a spark of her power here. I can feel her. Her cold chilly touch reaches out even from the icy water. Lets try something here. Right now. A little trip into the strange. Please quietly move in closer around the container. I think I know a spell that might reveal a glimpse of lady winter. Please be quiet and look closely at the icy water. If this works she will only manifest herself for a moment". After a bit of deep breathing, the performer reaches down into the slushy water and cups his hands, gathering ice and water in them as he goes. Slowly, an eerie transparent woman's face peers out through the icy water in his cupped hands. She appears to have been molded from the ice and water in exquisite detail. She has appeared from nowhere. "Ladies and gentlemen, meet lady winter". And just as suddenly as she had appeared, she is gone without a trace. The ice bucket/container can be inspected at length before and after, no trace of anything but icy water will be found. Lady Winter is gone till the next time.

This also includes a bonus routine "The Lady in the Lake". A very well thought out routine around the King Arthur legend.These are quite beautiful and startling effects. They can be preformed in any setting where you have a water source.

Wonder Vine, Flower Magic

Magicians use the craziest of props in their acts, and here is another addition to your collection of novel and off-beat items.

Those with a flair for comedy will love this, and even those with a more conservative approach to their magic will find a place for this prop in their acts. It is a flower creeper, that falls limp like normal creepers do. But with a sprinkling of Woofle dust, a puff of magic breath, or a wave of your magic wand the creeper stands erect, like the famous Indian Rope Trick. You can repeat it as often as you like.

We supply you the creeper complete and ready to work. Any performer with a little imagination will get a lot of mileage from this prop. Play around with it, and you will find presentation and handling ideas that appeal to you.

Wonderbar, Floating Stick

The performer displays a test tube in his hand, which has been stopped with a cork. Inside the tube rests a solid silver bar. With a gesture from the performer, the silver bar begins to bob up and down inside the closed tube, banging against the cork! Eventually, the bar pops the cork off of the tube! Then, the silver bar rises up out of the tube and floats about in mid-air! A hoop can even be passed around the floating bar.

Finally, the bar floats back into the tube. The magician sets the cork back in place and receives a well-deserved round of applause.

Supplied complete with special bar, test tube, cork, "special something" and illustrated instructions.

Wooly Bully by Mike Bent

A spectator chooses a new look for that master of disguise, Wooly Willy. The magician holds the board flat and gives the spectator a special magic wand, which he waves over the board. The magician slowly shakes the iron filings around the board and when he stops, the disguise the spectator selected has magically appeared on Wooly Willy's face. The magician immediately hands the spectator the board, when he tilts it up, the filings fall and everything can be examined!

Easy To Do! Instantly Resets! Completely Examinable.

Word Power by Sam Swartz

"So good, I wish I had thought of it myself." -Stewart James, after he saw the brilliant idea behind the many word tests that Sam Schwartz had created.

The performer shows a group of almost fifty word cards, one word to a card. The participant is handed all the cards and is asked to think of any one word. The performer proceeds to reveal the word without any hesitation, beginning with individual letters and then revealing the entire word!

This can be done with your back turned, in a different room, over the phone, etc. and is suitable for both smaller and larger audiences. In addition to the clever method, Sam has refined the revelation procedure to look like you knew the word right from the beginning!

The word cards are nicely printed on stock and laminated.

Wrong Way by Vernet

Is great for comedy and has a wonderful surprise climax.

The magician shows a large traffic signal that has a big arrow in each side. He explans that this signal is very important because the traffic must go in that way. One arrow is shown to be pointing to the left and the other to the right. The magician explains this signal means that the traffic must go to the right and this other to the left.

The comedy begins when the arrows begins to change and points the opposite way, both to the right, then both to the left, then up and down. Finally the magician says... and if you don't pay attention to the traffic signals the police officer will give you a ticket and at that moment the plaque drops open showing a police officer 44 inch high in full color, the face is cut out and the magician´s own face shows through it.

You get a special heavy board beautifully silk screened.
