A light bulb is shown & with no visible connecting wires, it mysteriously lites up while held in your hands.
But there's more!! Removing your hand from the bulb, it clings to your finger tips, then floats from hand to hand. First, it floats in an upright position, then turns in mid-air!
The bulb then floats away from you, then down again into your hands. You have full control of the bulb at all times!
Polarized on the curve, not the edge like other rings, The Vortex directs its power towards the item under your control at all times! A revolutionary advance in magnetic rings by the original distributors of PK magic, made affordable without the bulky look of other "rings."

The routine begins with a discussion of how playing cards were originally hand painted and considered pieces of art.
A card is selected and returned to the deck. You then display four postcards, each depicting Gainsborough's The Blue Boy painting. You explain that one of them is a forgery as the spectators immediately spot the obvious and amusing fake.
The postcards are turned over to show Gainsborough painted a back to Blue Boy but no one ever noticed because it was always kept framed.
For the finale a postcard that was placed aside on an impromptu easel is revealed with The Blue Boy now holding the selected card.
Can be repeated four times with different cards. Comes complete with the necessary postcards and a photo-illustrated booklet. Very easy to do and fun to perform.
Light aluminum 2 piece construction with auto vanishing thread gimmick. Perfectly balanced and extremely lightweight.
At the outset, this trick appears to be fairly standard: The magician has a card selected, signed and lost in the deck. Next, attention is called to a saftey pin running through the magician's tie. Then, things get interesting. The cards are fanned in front of the tie and WAMMO! the signed selection is seen to be pinned to the magician's tie! The card actually has to be ripped off the pin to remove it!
If you don't wear a tie, no problem - the pinned card is instantly and easily adaptable so that the card can appear pinned to a coat, shirt or even t-shirt.
This model will change two cards, or the same card twice, making possible a greater range of effects. It looks very natural, and will outlast any similar prop you can get. It is designed like a box or case to hold a deck of cards, making it a perfect accessory for the purpose.
Remove your deck from the case, and use the same case for your transformations. It is made from heavy gauge extruded metal, and powder coated in a scratch free finish, to last your lifetime, and a couple of genrations to follow! The versatile nature of this prop makes it useful for a very wide variety of magic, our instructions give you several ideas to start you off.
The bottom is a separate plastic piece and can be secured on the bottom and also removed from the glass.
When the bottom is in place, it looks like a normal glass. You can perform all routines with this cleverly gimmicked glass that you would perform with a normal bottomless glass. However, this glass has more advantages: 15 routines, tips and tricks are described in the instructions.
Use the glass for mentalism, comedy, stage- and close-up magic!
Hell's Flame is our solution to a simple problem: “how to create an amazing fire ball while respecting the magician's body integrity?”. Simple! We decided not using any chemical, not even a few. Too many fire products works with lighter fluid or dangerous chemical, Hell's Flame works with batteries and flash cotton. Your can now perform pyro effects without fearing for your health!
Put two batteries inside the device, add some flash cotton in the tube, turn it on, press the button, feel the satisfaction of creating a fire ball. It is that easy!
You can use fire ball to mask your appearance/disappearance effects, to light a doves pan, to light a candle, possibilities are quite unlimited!
To perform this effect you need two candles, a Hell's Flame and some Hell's Smoke. Light only one of the two candles and let a space between them of around 2 meters. With your “free” hand (i.e. the hand from which nothing will appear) just “take” the flame of the first candle. Explain that now you can feel the fire in you. Then light the second candle using your hell's flame. To conclude this routine, explain that it is a little dangerous to play with fire and show your hand. There is smoke coming from your hand, as if you were heavily burnt! Of course, since Hell's Flame is everything but dangerous, you just fooled your audience by using Hell's Smoke to create the smoke.
When the spectator tries to take it, he realizes that the card is INSIDE the bag! Immediately the magician takes the card from the bag, showing clearly that it comes out from the inside of the bag!
The performer displays a small box of seeds marked Instant Bloom Magic Seeds, and a flat green board, which he claims is a patch from his magic garden. He pours a seed from the box on to the board, and instantly a large bush of multi-coloured flowers appears on the board. This is flash visual magic of a colourful nature.
The apparatus is self contained, and includes the cloth covered wooden board, the plastic seed box, the cloth flower bush, and full working instructions. A different and novel trick, this comes to you complete and ready to use.
The magician's hands circle around the floating ball dispelling any and all thoughts of how it might be done. Finally, the floating ball rises up to the magician's pocket. The pocket is opened, and the ball then floats into his pocket.
An amazing effect. A must-buy for all magicians. One of the most miraculous floating effects ever created!
Requires no skill! Very easy to do!
Imagine this: The magician balances a ballpoint pen on the rim of a glass. The pen sits still, perched on the edge of the tumbler. Then, as if touched by an unseen hand, the pen slowly and visibly rotates!
But wait, there's more! Then, eerie as it may seem, the pen falls off the edge of the glass! No one, magician included, has come near the pen.
Hundreds of presentational ploys are possible. Use the Perplexing Pen as a demonstration of telekinesis, in spirit effects, or as an adjunct to other haunted effects.
The Perplexing Pen is an absolute miracle!
Remember:
Your business card rises from a beautiful silver and black business card case.
Dimensions Approximately 3 5/8 inch x 2 5/16 inch (9.20cm x 5.87cm)
It is a very nice stand up version of signed Zig Zag card. In the end the card can be examined.
After a brief introduction speaking about intuition and the possibility of applying it to events of real life, a spectator is asked to shuffle a part of a deck of cards. Then, these cards are dealt in two piles, as if there were two players of a game. The spectator is invited to try to guess the color of the cards in one of the piles, to see how good his intuition is. He ends by guessing around half of the cards colors. Now the magician takes the other pile and proves his intuitive skills are beyond normal guessing all cardss colors without a single mistake.
Second Effect:The magician now refers to the number 7 and what it symbolizes: the seven prophecies, the seven wonders, the seven capital sins. He says he needs to make four groups of seven cards each, so he asks a spectator to remove 28 cards from the deck, one at a time. The magician shuffles the cards and then asks the spectator to riffle shuffle them again. Now the cards are dealt in four piles and the spectator chooses one, getting rid of the others. The spectator takes these cards and fans them so he can see the faces. The magician now starts telling him how many hearts there are, how many clubs, how many picture cards, and finally names all the cards one by one.
The magician asks for the loan of a finger ring, from either a lady or gentleman. lt is quite immaterial if the ring is of unusual design; in fact, it is better if you have a ring of this type offered, so there can be no question of any substitution of the ring. ONLY ONE RING IS USED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS STARTLING ILLUSION.
The magician need not touch the ring at all. He picks up and shows a plastic, ring box. The lid is opened, and it is seen that inside is a velvet-covered foam cushion. The spectator himself can place the ring into the slot on the cushion where it presents an attractive appearance. Immediately, without any phoneylooking moves, the magician closes the box, giving this to someone to hold.
Hands are shown empty, and you pick up and display a beautiful red-transparent crystal, threaded on to a plastic cord. The crystal appears semi-transparent, and hangs in the center of the cord, completely away from the magicians hands. Suddenly, to the amazement of all, the crystal IMMEDIATELY SHATTERS INTO PIECES, and there in the very center, threaded on the cord, is the actual borrowed ring! The spectator who is so closely guarding the ring box opens this up and FINDS NOTHING AT ALL!
Everything can be examined - parts of the crystal, the ring box. NO-ONE WILL EVER DISCOVER HOW THE MIRACLE WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
The above is an exact and true description of the effect. Nothing has been left out. The trick is easy to do, and requires only practice in the handling to enable you to perform it to complete perfection.
Make no mistake. This is a GREAT trick. No replacements are ever needed. You can use it over and over again. Everything is well made of high-quality plastic.
"Would you be impressed if the same card was written on the business card?" asks the performer. The spectator agrees, and the performer turns over the business card to reveal the words, "THE SAME CARD!" ... "actually," says the performer, "the real prediction is written on the back of the money. Turn it over and see for yourself."
The spectator turns the bill over and the words, "Four of Clubs" is written on the bill. The performer calls attention to the selected card in the business card wallet. Taking it out slowly and dramatically, he turns it over to reveal the Four of Clubs! It's the same card indeed!
This beautiful, ingenious piece of close-up mentalism comes to you with the special leather business card holder and detailed instructions. You'll have so much fun with this, you'll never put it down!
A Coca-Cola Bottle full of liquid is displayed. The magician claims he will make it disappear. The bottle is covered with a piece of paper rolled into a cylinder. Since the cylinder is only half the height of the bottle, the audiences can clearly see the lower half of the bottle. Everything is covered with a handkerchief. He claims that the bottle will now disappear. When the handkerchief is removed, the bottle and the cylinder are still visible.
Performer claims he will vanish the bottle visibly. He pushes the cylinder down over the bottle making the bottle shrink, till it is completely covered by the cylinder! The cylinder is then turned, allowing the audience to see right through it! Comes complete with the specially made bottle that holds the liquid, the cylinder, a large handkerchief and illustrated instructions.
Shufton's 3D Paradox sends their minds on holiday! Just imagine:
The spectator holds a sealed envelope. A card, freely selected, is signed and shuffled back into the pack. The envelope is opened to reveal a brilliantly colored, beautifully illustrated greeting card! It's hinged open and out leaps a colorful 3D scene in which a smaller envelope pops up! Her brain melts when she removes the contents herself and discovers her own, SIGNED CARD!
This new diabolical take on the impossible location features:
Do it completely surrounded!
A real reputation maker! Finally, a card-to-impossible-location needing no preparation, wallet, palming, swapping, folding, hiding, jackets, pockets or lemons! Fun to perform!
3D Paradox comes in two colorful versions, creating their own possibilities for patter and presentation. The Magician is classically magical with built in humor, and The Guru borders on the mystical for a cosmic journey. Let the evening mood decide which you will use! Never has a greeting card been so deadly!
Expect the highest quality from Shufton Magic.
You draw two identical sets of ESP symbols on a white board which is resting on a stand. Mark one of the ESP symbols on the upper set with a blue dot. You then cover the upper set with a piece of cardboard.
A spectator is now asked to freely select any of the ESP symbols in the lower set and to mark it with a red dot. When the cardboard cover is removed, it's seen that you and the spectator have selected the same symbol!
No forcing involved! Spectator has absolutely free choice.
This effect can be performed using numbers, letters, ESP symbols or even cards. A special living and dead test is also included in the instructions!
But that is not all. The magician can immediately repeat the effect with any object at all that does not weigh more than 2 lbs, 1kg. He does not have to pick up or palm anything, he does not have to touch his body (no, there are no strings stretched across the room either!) or make any new preparations! A member of the audience simply puts any object on the table (a handkerchief, a banknote, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, a candlestick with a burning candle, a burning petroleum lamp, anything). The magician takes the ring, moves it over the chosen object - and, just like before, it floats in the middle of the ring!
Catalogue talk! you might say, That is just impossible! On the contrary, we say, Of course it is possible. Astor performed this effect any number of times and totally amazed his audiences with it. And you might be even more amazed when we tell you:
Can you imagine a better effect? We can't! You can use any larger ring for this effect and it can be of metal, wood, plastic or just about anything. Of course an aid is actually used; you can easily make it yourself. The richly illustrated instructions explain everything clearly, so that even a beginner can perform this amazing trick.
The trick can be immediately repeated with any object of no more than approx. 2 lbs, 1kg in weight.
This trick contains no gimmick!
3 Keys - One Door
A member of the audience becomes faced with a difficult decision when she must choose between three keys. With a completely free choice, her decision proves to be the very key the performer predicted days before the routine began. A three-out effect so easy and convenient to carry. Unlock the door and enter the next phase.
Arching Key
Under test conditions, an ordinary key is signed/initialed by an audience member. This marked key is then held by the spectator and performer at each end of the key. Without any moves, the key begins to melt and bend in their hands. The signed key is then released and left in the spectator's hand clearly bent down the middle. There has never been a key bend as pure and straightforward as this while held by the spectator no less.
Angel Flight
End your performance with a real crowd pleaser, and one of the most impossible flight effects ever devised. In a blink of the eye, the signed bent key completely vanishes only to be found hanging on the keyring of the performer's keychain. Not a ring flight, but a key flight - which makes sense! The key is 100% on the keychain and is removed by the spectator!
This is truly high caliber material that has bewildered some of the keenest minds in the business. Whether you are a magician or a mentalist, this is a hard-hitting affair that will raise your craft to a higher level. Requires you to supply your own keys, as after each performance you will be giving away a truly memorable souvenir in an impossible condition. Included in the book is a surplus of extra advice and additional performances. Including, a key flight where the signed bent key is found on the performer's keychain that has been in full view on the table the entire routine!
Don't forget the best part. The entire routine is self-contained on the special keychain and is ALWAYS ready to perform without even a moments notice. So the next time someone asks you to show them something, don't just do a trick, put on an entire show!
Mentalism, metal bending and a flight all on one keychain! Archangel is a real world routine you will have with you the rest of your life.
Very easy to learn and perform. Blunt does almost all the work for you! You can use it in trade shows, street magic, or kid shows. The possibilities are endless!
The effect needs a gimmick, and the instructional booklet teaches you in detail how to perform the trick and how to construct the gimmick at home. Get now one of the most original ideas we have ever seen!

Introduction by Can Man:
I started carving Can Man in 1994. One day I looked at a can and wondered what could be sculpted out of it. I had seen airplanes molded from cans and thought the soda logos made a very colorful sculpture. However, I wanted to think outside of the box, or can in this case. My first attempt was to cut out a piece from the can that was already in the shape I wanted to see. However, the first attempt came out looking like a very awkward stick figure. In fact, people that saw it had to be told what they were looking at. As I thought about my first attempt, I realized I could cut out a stick figure, keep it attached to the can, and then mold the figure like a child's bendy figure toy. Eureka - Can Man was born.
Dimensions approximately 8 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inch (21.59 cm x 6.35 cm)
