Maxello Magic

The magician shows several of his competitor's business cards wrapped in a dollar bill and a rubber band. Removing the bill and band he proceeds to read some of the cards to his spectators.

All are humorous and each competitor sounds less than appealing when compared to the performer himself (we assume). "That's why I keep a dollar wrapped around these cards. To remind people that you really do get what you pay for!" The dollar bill and the rubber band are again wrapped around the bottom portion of the stack of cards, leaving half the stack protruding from the bill. The magician then pushes the stack of business cards through the wrappings of the bill. When he does, the competitor's cards that was on top of the stack magically changes to one of the magician's own business cards as it comes through the other side. The stack is pushed back through the bill and the other half of the card changes to the magician's own card as well! "I highly recommend this guy!" says the magician as he removes his business card and gives it to the spectators to keep.

Includes Ten Fictitious Business Cards and Detailed Instructions.

X-ceptionally visual magic that will stun your audience! A selected card is lost in the deck. You remove a four of a kind from the deck which includes the selection. The faces of the cards are clearly shown as the card thought to be the selection is placed to one side.

Employing the X-Factor you begin to verify the selection's identity by showing that the other three cards now have a big, black X emblazoned on their faces.

The mind-blowing climax comes when the selection is turned over to show that it not only has a big X across its back but the back also changed color!

This is visual, easy-to-do, easy-to-reset magic, perfect for the strolling performer. Comes with special Poker Bicycle cards and photo-illustrated instructions, use your own deck.

The Zipper Banana is a popular comedy prop, where comedian pulls out a banana, unzips the skin, and proceeds to eat the banana. This is a giant model of this visual gag, which adds to the comedy potential.

Comes with an imitation banana, and ideas for its use.

You have complete control over the contents of your selection, and theirs. If you prefer, you could have the four kids get trinket jewelery, while you get the insides of a real egg! Or have five spectators participate, including the birthday boy or girl, who gets the prize. And it need not be the last egg selected or left behind, the birthday boy can take his pick any time, and still get his prize.

This is very simple, very clever, very deceptive, and the props look attractive. It is easy to do, and costs much less than you would expect to pay for such a great magic routine.

From the fertile mind of Ian Adair, prolific creator and author of some 240+ magic books, comes this gem of a "Just Chance" effect, suitable for most audiences, and all performing conditions.

The performer shows a clear net bag, one the audience can easily see right through. In this "nest" are five different colored eggs, from some exotic rainbow bird. Four spectators participate.

Each freely picks an egg from the bag, lucky dip style. No Forces, or "outs", and the last egg is left for the performer. When the four spectator's eggs are "cracked open", they contain candy, or consolation messages. A spectator can open the performer's egg (he needn't touch it at all), and it has a diamond ring, or a large denomination currency bill.

One ball at the magician's fingertips visibly multiplies to two, then three, and finally four.

A classic effect, which you can do easily, and improve on for a life time! These are beautifully turned wooden billiard balls 1.5 inch in diameter, for performers wanting a quality set of the classic prop. We also have other cheaper varieties in plastic. Each set of red wooden Billiard Balls contains 4 balls, the gimmick, in a handy carry bag, and detailed illustrated instructions.

The performer displays a small (1.5 inch) red ball and a black ball. He pushes the balls into his closed fist and upon opening his hand, the red ball has transformed into a large (4 inch) ball and the black ball has changed into eight tiny black balls!

Comes complete with all the necessary sponge balls.

There are some people who can figure complex equations in their head - instantly. With Eduardo Kozuch's quick Addition, you will be able to perform just like a lightning calculator.

Removing three lists of numbers (from 100 to 1000) from your wallet and three envelopes, you invite three spectators to each select a number card and an envelope. Because each envelope has two windows cut into it, each spectator selects two numbers on his chosen card, at random.

Once the numbers are selected, the magician is instantly able to reveal the total of the six numbers that have been selected!

The numbers are different on all of the cards, and this works nothing like the old Age Cards. It's a baffling mathematical masterpiece, and easy to do!

A novel production silk with a visual magical change. When produced, it shows as a pretty silk with red vertical stripes on a white background. The silk is held by the upper corners, stretched between the hands. The performer just brings the two ends of the silk together, then stretches the silk again, and the lines now run horizontally.

Supplied is a special printed silk (about 22 inch square), ready to work.

Performer walks on stage with a Lit Torch in his hand. He makes a throwing gesture, and the Torch vanishes in mid-air. The performer's hands are completely empty, leaving him free to proceed with his act. This is a very dramatic and visual opening effect, with a magical impact that is bound to make any audience sit up and take notice. We supply the torch, with instructions.

A Very Unique Sponge Routine! You show three sponges in the shape of the word GO. You place one of the GO sponges in the hand of a spectator and one in your own hand. When the spectator says Go, your sponge vanishes. The spectator opens his or her hand to reveal not one, but two GO sponges!

They close their hand around the two sponges as you pick up the third GO. Yours magically vanishes, joining the other two in the spectator's closed hand. When their hand is opened, they now have three GO sponges!

Finally, you give all three sponges to another spectator, who closes his or her hands around them. You tell them, They're gone! The spectator, who still feels the sponges in their hand, thinks you're wrong, until they open their hand and are amazed to discover that the GO sponges are, indeed gone, and they are holding the sponge word GONE!

Comes complete with 4 GO sponges, 1 GONE sponge and detailed instructions.

Size Matters!

The magician hands out a "mini-pen," about half the length of a normal pen and explains that there are ways to make it bigger. One is with a magnifying glass; the other is to stretch it. Holding the pen between his hands, the magician starts to visibly stretch the pen until it's the normal size! The pen may then be handed out for examination.

Comes complete with normal pen, mini pen, magnifying glass and detailed instructions.

This is the best protection for your deck!

VERNET CARD GUARD is made of ABS PLASTIC keeping all the elegance of the classic card guard. Don't break your pockets anymore with heavy card clips!

Designed to securely protect and carry any poker-sized deck, also prevents decks from buckling under the pressure of tight pockets.

With equal pressure on your deck, it stay as good as new.

A large, round key ring is displayed to your audience with two keys attached. With the spectators look on carefully, you simply remove one key without opening the ring. You replace the ring just as quickly. Upon examination, no body else can remove the key as you did, or find the secret.

In this incredibly visual effect, the performer places a dime inside his closed fist. He then places a penny on top of his fist. The performer taps the penny on top of his fist, and it instantly changes into a dime! He then opens his closed fist, and the dime that was there has become a penny!

Includes Instructional CD-ROM containing both a performance and explanation of the effect.

A playing card is selected and lost in the deck. A small packet of baseball cards are shown to be all different. After mixing the baseball cards the top one is seen to be a baseball player swinging a bat. The spectator inserts the baseball card anywhere in the deck. He is told that the baseball card will find his selection. The cards above and below the baseball card are checked and found not to be the selection. For a startling conclusion the baseball card is turned over to reveal that the player in the picture is now holding the selected card instead of his bat.

Comes with all necessary baseball cards (use your own deck). Can be repeated.

Andrew Mayne, creator of Bisection and author of Touching Sky presents a brand new shocking magic effect. Armbuster! Place your arm into a "magic" cast that prevents you from being harmed.

Then, bring out the wickedest looking drill you've ever seen. Proceed to drill a hole straight through your arm (blood is optional). Of course, when you remove your arm from the cast, it is unharmed. Thank goodness!

The effect can be built in under a half an hour using $10 worth of materials and a $20 cordless drill.

One of the greatest laugh producers! During your performance, you open the fan to magically fan some object. Then ask for a member of your audience to help by holding the fan. When your assistant opens the fan, it FALLS APART. However, you take the fan, open it and it is restored again. This may be repeated several times and is always sure of a big laugh.

Two spectators each choose a card from your deck. You explain that you will conduct a psychic TEST. At that, you show four cards with letters printed on them. One side clearly spells the word TEST. To do this, you say, you will also call upon your invisible assistant from the spirit world. Of course, being from the spirit world, she must be DEAD. So said, you turn the cards over and show the other side of the cards clearly spells the word DEAD. You place two cards on one spectator's palm, and the remaining two on the other spectator's palm. When the cards area separated, duplicates of both selections are now printed on the cards! Everything can be examined! Comes compleat with required special cards!

Another winning effect from Dan Harlan! A Jumbo playing card floats gently off the deck and hovers mysteriously above it, then comes to rest balanced on one corner. Motion to the card, and it will slowly float back on to the deck! The card can be shown on both sides, and can even be handed out for examination.

The Jumbo Hover Card measures 17.5 cm (7 Inch) x 11.5 cm (4.5 Inch).

Three bolts with colored sleeves are shown to match 3 cards. A card is chosen and the color remembered by the helper.

The three bolts are shown and dropped into a clear plastic bottle that is then held by the helper. When the helper opens their hand, the colored bolt that matches the card is missing from the bottle.

Two large sponge rabbits are shown to an audience volunteer, who selects one of them. That chosen rabbit is placed in the spectator's hand and the other one in the magician's pocket. When the spectator opens his hand out pops two rabbits! Place the two rabbits in spectator's hand, and they are joined by a bunch of baby bunnies!

The performer produces four golf balls from his bare hands, one by one. Each one is placed between the fingers of his right hand. This seems like the end of the effect, but a surprise awaits the audience when the magician produces a giant golf ball, making for a fitting finale.

Includes:

• 4 White Golf Balls
• 1 Yellow Golf Ball (for bonus color change)
• 1 Jumbo White Golf Ball
• 3 Complete, photo-illustrated routines

No shell used!

Knockout version of an Australian Monte Game! The performer displays three Aces of Diamonds and an Ace of Clubs, asking the spectator to follow the black Ace. One red Ace is laid aside face down and the black Ace is put between the other two red Aces. The spectator fails to follow the black Ace because when the three cards are shown, they're ALL RED ACES and the black Ace is on the table! The entire routine is repeated but again the spectator is wrong! The third time the spectator guesses the black Ace is on the table, but it's really a red one... and the other three cards are now ALL BLACK ACES! Each trick comes with specially printed, poker-size cards and illustrated instructions.

This trick is a great opener. You are seen to be holding a fan of eight standard size playing cards. As quick as you can say Houdini, the cards have transformed into a fan of JUMBO cards, more than twice the size as the original fan. There is no skill needed to do this trick and it takes moments to learn.

You now have the ideal climax for Vernet Multiplication of Balls!

Think about this: after having produced a fourth ball, and having your left hand full of them, four more balls appear in your right hand immediately. Unbelievable!

In search of the Giant Snow Monster'a great sucker trick with a surprise punch! You show five cards blank on both sides (snow) and a sixth card with a picture of a strange footprint Bigfoot! The Bigfoot card is mixed in with the blanks and the spectator tries to track down Bigfoot by selecting a card. The chosen card is turned over and sure enough, he's found Bigfoot! Amazing! The spectator tries again, and you triumphantly show the face of the selected card stating that the spectator has again tracked down Bigfoot!! However, the spectator points out that it is a blank card! I don't know how you missed. You must have gone snow-blind! you say as you show the rest of the packet is now all Bigfoot cards! Each trick comes with specially printed, poker-size cards and illustrated instructions.

Now you can add magic to your daily life. Imagine having a friend come to your home or office and notice a colorful print of a carnival scene hanging on your wall. As they admire the attractive work of art, ask them to think of any one of thirty different numbers in the poster. You then reveal the number they are thinking of with one hundred percent accuracy. It's a killer. Immediately repeatable (and believe me, they will ask for a repeat). Impossible to figure out. No matter how many times you perform it.

If you have a wall on which to hang the poster and can count to seven, you can do this routine. Easy to do. No writing. No fishing. No memory work. No cue lists. No sleight-of-hand. No complicated formulas. Numbers range from 1 to 76. Nothing added or taken away. Comes complete and ready to use.
