Maxello Magic

Performer freely displays a playing card and a PVC (plastic) folder to the spectators. He borrows a currency note or bill and folds it along its long edge, with one half a little wider than the other as in the illustration. He places the folded bill inside the folder with the ends projecting on both sides, and visible at all times.

He now inserts a corner of the card inside the folded bill and pushes it. The corner projects out from the top of the folder apparently penetrating right through the bill. The folder and bill are freely displayed with the card clearly penetrating through the bill. He then pushes the complete card through the bill, and out from the top of the folder.

He takes the bill from the folder and show it completely unharmed. He returns the bill to its owner who can examine it thoroughly. A very convincing penetration illusion. Complete with card, folder and detailed instructions. Use any borrowed bill.

This is an excellent mechanical pocket item, and one which every Magician will find useful in his bag of tricks.

The performer shows a small box, like a Cigarette Case, which is exactly right to hold six King Size Cigarettes. Box measures approximately 4 inch long, 2.5 inh wide and 0.6 inch in height. It is opened and shown to be full of Cigarettes. The performer says he is trying to give up smoking and the easiest way to do this is to make the cigarettes vanish. The box is closed and when it is opened again, all the cigarettes have vanished.

You can also work the effect in reverse, by starting with an empty box, then magically having this fill with cigarettes, which can be passed around if you wish. You can use this box with any item other than cigarettes, which will fit into the drawer of the box. You can produce a packet of paper currency notes, or a vanished silk etc. from this box. The apparatus is similar to the Drawer Box which is familiar to most magicians, but with a very clever locking mechanism. This enables you to handle the box very freely, and in a most convincing manner.

You can also allow a spectator to open the drawer for the production or vanish if you wish. The Cigarette Vanishing Case is entirely molded in quality plastic and supplied complete with illustrated instructions and ideas for use. It is very easy to use, and suitable for a beginner or newcomer, yet magical and versatile enough to find a place in the act of any Magician.

This is a close up trick with a flavor of mental magic. Magician shows four different cards bearing names of four different drinks. He hands over a sealed envelope containing a prediction to the spectator. Then he deals the four cards on the table separately. Spectator selects one card. Magician asks the spectator to see the prediction card. The spectator is surprised on opening the prediction because it read Milk, which was not one of the drinks. He is asked to turn over his selected card. Surprise, it matches the prediction.

This novel close up trick comes with all necessary cards and detailed instructions.

Performer displays a small bag, purse with a net front. Anything placed inside the bag is visible through the net. He places a coin inside the bag which is clearly visible through the net. He takes out the coin and throws it in the air, where it vanishes. The coin later reappears inside the bag.

This is just one of the many tricks that can be performed with this bag. Our instructions describe several other effects, like Coins through table, Coins from Air, etc. Comes complete with special bag, 4.5 inch x 4 inch and instructions for use.

A three change Coloring Book in a handy pocket book size, 8 inch x 5.5 inch with large and bold illustrations of popular zoo animals familiar to all kids, and visible at a great distance.

Black and White pictures become magically colored! Then all the pages become blank!

Printed on thick paper.

A spectator selects a card from an ordinary deck. The performer displays a small solid crystal cube, which he explains will condense and focus thought rays, just like a lens focuses light rays.

The cube is held between finger and thumb, right under the spectator's nose, and being completely transparent, the spectators can see there is nothing in the cube. The spectator is asked to concentrate intently on the selected card as the performer moves the cube forward and backward, twisting it to bring it in focus. Suddenly an image of the selected card appears in the center of the cube, and it can be clearly seen by the spectator. Then, just as suddenly it vanishes, and you can then toss the cube out for examination. You could also make the image of a selected number, word, or design appear in the cube.

A miniature solid Brass Cube is threaded on a string. It slides freely up and down on the string. Yet whenever the performer wishes, he can make the cube freeze on the string at any spot.

The cube can be handed over for examination, and the spectator will find its slides freely, and there is no way it can be made to stop on the string.

The Servante is a useful accessory for magicians, like the Thumb Tip, Pull, or Invisible Thread. It is used for secret loads, an exchange or disposing off something secretly.

The Utility Servante supplied by us is a convenient size, which will take objects about the size of a glass tumbler. The opening of the bag is adjustable. It can be attached to the back of a chair, table, or behind some stage props in seconds with one or two drawing pins. It has a special clip perfect for the secret exchange of a deck of cards.

The Devil Hanky is a very useful accessory, for vanishing any item, like a watch, coin, ring, anything upto the size of a full deck of cards.

It resembles an ordinary handkerchief. Gather the four corners, drop the item to be vanished inside, then whip open the hanky, and the item has vanished. You can freely show the hanky on both sides, stretched out completely flat.

This model has been tailored to specific proportions, to enable you to get more from this useful accessory. You can now also use it for productions. Gather the four corners of the empty hanky, and use it as an impromptu bag for your cigarette or flower production, or even a coin production routine. For the climax, a whole lot of cigarettes, or coins or flowers pour out of the hanky.

A very useful prop for any performer, with many applications, this is well made and comes with instructions and ideas for use.

This is a Jumbo Card Version of the Dream Queen (4 times bigger than normal Playing Cards), at an extremely affordable cost. You can now use this as a platform or school show item for a much larger audience.

The performer displays a large envelope with four Jumbo cards in it. He states this contains the four Queens from a deck of cards, but one Queen is different to the other three. A spectator is asked to call out any of the four Queens, - the Queen of Spades, Hearts, Clubs or Diamonds. The spectator is free to call out any of these, and can even change his mind if he wishes. Let us presume he calls out �Queen of Spades.�

The four cards are removed from the envelope at the finger tips. The envelope is shown clearly empty and can be examined. The four cards are now fanned, and there are three face down cards, and only one face up card in the fan. It is the selected Queen, - the Queen of Spades.

This Queen is now turned face down, and the back is seen to be of a different color to the other three cards. If the backs of the other three cards are blue, the Queen of Spades is the only card in the four with a red back.

We supply you the four very special cards that makes this miracle possible, and a suitable envelope to hold the cards. All packaged in an attractive format, this is a very easy trick to perform in your act.

An egg placed in a bag vanishes, and re-appears, as often as you wish. A great routine for kid shows, or the comedy magician. So simple, yet this has been featured by many of the best magicians over the ages. We supply you the special bag, an imitation egg, and the basics to start you off. A classic of magic.

The Human Hen, or production of an apparently endless supply of eggs from the mouth is an effect that is very easy to perform, and one that will entertain any type of audience. An egg appears in your mouth. You remove it, and another egg appears, and another, as often as you like. It has both magical and visual appeal - and the comedy ingredients guaranteed to draw a laugh.

We supply two solid plastic eggs, ideal for the Eggs from Mouth production trick, along with detailed instructions for the effect. You will find many other uses for them, as described in the instructions. These eggs are made small enough to fit comfortably in the mouth for the classic mouth production effect, yet are large enough for any stage effect. They could be used for any egg trick, not just this particular one.

These eggs are solid plastic, with the weight and feel of a real egg. This makes them more suited to use with Egg Bags, or manipulation effects. Being plastic they can be washed and safely used in the mouth. No paint to crack. No chipping (if you accidentally drop them), like plaster eggs. These Eggs can be put to good use in all the standard egg tricks, such as the Regular Egg Bag, Production Egg Bag (where you produce a number of eggs from an apparently empty bag), The Color Changing Egg Bag (Gag Bag), etc. You could also use these for a climax load in a Cups & Balls routine. The size of the Eggs makes them very easy to palm, and use for many standard Ball effects. You can do a no-shell version of the Multiplying Eggs, or produce and vanish eggs from thin air, to some amusing patter themes.

This is a sucker effect where the Magician explains the how of the trick, then ends with a climax implying real magic.

Performer shows a colored handkerchief in his hand. He rolls it between his hands, and it changes into an egg. He now explains that he actually uses a hollow egg with a hole in it. When he rolls the silk between his hands, he pushes it inside the egg through the hole.

He repeats the performance to demonstrate this. Now, comes the real Magic! He makes a Magic pass over the egg and it changes into a real Egg! He breaks the egg into two pouring out the yolk and white.

We supply you the special plastic egg and a colored silk handkerchief.

This is a special pack of cards, which allows you to perform fancy card flourishes, with much greater ease and far less practice, than if they were performed with a normal pack. It allows you to give an impression of much greater skill than you really possess.

Some performers prefer to present this in a comedy vein, and some as a demonstration of skills they do not really have.

An impossible penetration! The scary looking blade passes right through the finger!

Imagine standing on the stage or in the middle of the living room while holding a piece of rope. You tie the rope into a knot, and as you hold it in your outstretched hand, the rope comes to life, and unknots itself!

This little reel provides you with the ability to do this trick and many others.

Once in several years a trick comes along which is revolutionary in its very concept, and takes the Magic world by storm. The Floating Match, originally credited to Ben Harris of Australia is such a trick.

The effect is so uncanny, you won't believe it, even when you do it. In effect the magician shows a playing card, and places it on the palm of his hand. A spectator is invited to remove a matchstick from his match box, and lay it across the card. The performer makes a magic pass, and the matchstick levitates right off the card, floating about an inch over the surface of the card.

Another card is now placed under the match, proving there are no supports holding it up. Then the match floats down, on the surface of the card, and can be immediately handed back to the person who loaned it. And the card and your hand can be freely shown on all sides. There is nothing to conceal. The best part of this trick is that you have virtually nothing to do. Open the apparatus, follow the instructions, and you will fool yourself. In fact, if our instructions did not tell you how this works, you would probably fool yourself the first time you did this.

This is not an original coin, the originals now cost ten times as much as what we charge for their silver and antique value. These coins are made from base metal, and heavily silver plated to look exactly like the originals, and give you years of life under normal use. Unlike special tokens with a magical design, these will be accepted as genuine coins. You could use these coins naturally any where in the world, with equal effect. What better coins to perform magic with than these ancient or antique coins from India, the land of magic!

The coins are exactly the size of the American half Dollar or old English Penny. This enables you to use the coins with the many standard props like the Okito Box, Boston Box, Another Coin Box, etc., made specifically for use with this size of coin.

The large size makes them perfect for all manipulation effects and sleights, stage items like the Miser's Dream, or virtually any coin routine.

Folding Coin Set, comprising of one finely gimmicked Folding Rupee, One matching ungimmicked Rupee, supply of special folding coin bands, and an 8 page booklet of routines for this item.

This is an amazing visual Spirit Writing effect. The performer displays a picture of a pair of Spirit Slates. A playing card is selected from a deck. Visibly the name of the selected card appears on the slate. As this is "spirit writing", it fades away, just as eerily as it appears, leaving the slate blank once again.

We supply you three cards, with the pictures of a pair of Spirit Slates. These cards are chemically treated for the effect. When handled as detailed in the instructions, the writing appears in a prominent white chalk writing. And in moments, the writing vanishes.

The same cards can be used over and over again for 100s of uses. You get three cards for three different predictions, and lots of ideas. This is completely different to anything you have used before - you will be amazed at the way it works.

A soft cover, A-4 size, and 28 pages book, illustrated with 30 clear line drawings. Junior Shankar is the only Indian Magician to win an award at the international F.I.S.M. competition since 1948.

The 17 year old author describes eleven knock out effects, with a variety for all tastes, covering both close-up effects and stage conjuring.

Some of the routines are mind boggling, like the "Nu Way Coin Across" where pictures of coins on playing cards assemble one at a time, then turn to real coins!

Or the Chopped Card Through Table, where torn quarters of a playing card go though the table singly, then change completely to finish with a punch climax!

There are more routines with cards, coins, newspaper, currency notes etc. All visual magic that requires no special preparation or skill beyond the capabilities of most average magicians. The routines are of course far above average.

One of the most useful gimmicks in modern time is the Invisible Thread Reel. As most magicians know invisible thread is used for a variety of floating, animation and suspension effects performed right under the audience's nose.

Unfortunately, because of the invisible nature of the thread, most performers have a problem in finding, set-up and handling the thread.

The Invisible Thread Reel is a gimmick that overcomes these problems, giving you a length of invisible thread of the required size in an instant, as and when you require it, and removing it safely into the reel when your use for it is over. Simply pin the gimmick under your collar, in your pocket, or in any other convenient place, and you are set to perform miracles right under their nose.

By itself any gimmick is useless, unless you know what to do with it. For this purpose each reel comes to you with five large pages of illustrated instructions, covering the use and maintenance of your reel, and the many, many types of effects you can do with it.

We supply you a special metal key, threaded on which is a solid metal ring. You ask the spectators to remove the ring from the key without ofcourse cutting or breaking the key or ring, and they are unable to do so. Yet you can do so immediately, once you know the clever secret. Mechanical prop, machined in brass, and electroplated, at a very reasonable price.

This is a miniature version of the Lota Bowl, made in plastic. It comes with a rubber stopper that prevents the liquid load from spilling out prematurely, allowing you to carry the loaded prop in your pocket, or bag of tricks.

Being a miniature version, the amount of water is a small trickle, perhaps ideal to pour on to a spectator's cupped palm, but you can repeat this effect many, many, many times, much more often than you could with the standard Lota Bowl.

The performer opens the bottle and pours out the water. The bottle is inverted completely to show empty. A few seconds later, he inverts the bottle, and the water pours out again. This is repeated over and over, as often as you like. If performing for a small audience, you could magically produce water for every member in your audience!

Roll the dice and take away the envelope which contains money.

The Lucky Loops is a most effective rope trick. The magician shows a long length of rope, several feet in length. In an instant the rope transforms into several loops, or rings of rope. If you wish you may follow this with a linking ring routine using rope rings instead of the usual metal rings. We supply you the special apparatus for this trick complete and ready to work.

The rope used is a deluxe ultra white rope, that shows effectively on stage, and is much longer lasting than ordinary cotton rope. The trick packs extremely small, and can be carried in your pocket. It is suitable for performance under all conditions, and can be used in a stage show.

Lucky Loops comes to you complete and ready to work with instructions.

When coins are placed into this magical bank, they become invisible. As you look into the window of the bank you see a strange object floating in mid air. Even when the box is filled with 20 or 30 coins, it will look empty!

You can also use this beautiful box to produce or vanish small items or even an 18 inch silk!

Magic Bank makes a nice gift.

This is a special wallet that can be used for several different magic effects or as a very clever billfold. A piece of paper or folded dollar bill is placed in the wallet and will be magically secured behind a different strapped part of the wallet! An amazing effect that your audience will love!

As a magician, if you wish to get the maximum benefit from the use of a marked deck, you should have a copy of this booklet.

This is the third revised edition of the book, with some excellent tips for performing with a marked deck, and many good routines to do with this, so that the audience never suspects a marked deck.

This effect has become a very popular one with Magicians, ever since David Copperfield presented it on one of his TV Spectaculars. It is the visual, and incredible penetration of a borrowed note or bill, by an ordinary pencil, with everything performed in front of their eyes. In effect the performer borrows a note.

This is placed over a piece of paper of the same size and creased in half. A pencil is pushed through the note and the paper. The crease is opened out, and the audience can see the pencil going right through the borrowed note and the paper from both sides. The pencil can now be pulled away, ripping through the note and paper at the crease. Yet when they are opened out again, the ordinary paper is found to be ripped as one would expect, but the note is intact and totally unharmed.

The entire effect is so clean and convincing, that the audience can't believe their eyes. Yet it is quite easy to perform, requiring only a few handling trials on your part.

This is a great comedy effect conceived by Jack London. At any time during the act, or under impromptu situations, the magician causes his necktie to rise whenever he wishes. And the tie may remain in a horizontal position away from his body, as long as he wishes.

This is an unusual and funny effect. This gimmick works with any necktie and is under the complete control of the user. Self-contained and the durable mechanism lasts for long and gives excellent service. The gimmick is easy to fix and does not damage the necktie. The Pop Up Tie gimick comes with the special metal gimmick, detailed instructions and suggestions for use.
