You can phone (757) 440-7775 or Email your order with a credit card or use our Order Form. For checks or money orders, mail to: 797 West 53rd Street, Norfolk, VA 23508, USA. We pay shipping on all orders over $100. For orders under $100, we add a flat $5 shipping and handling fee. Foreign orders (outside the USA) are charged our exact shipping cost and we ship cheapest way unless otherwise requested.
We buy collections of magical props and books. All are in good to new condition and come with the original instructions unless otherwise noted. In most cases, we only have one of each item listed here. As it is sold, we delete it from the page. Understand that we have been collecting for almost half a century which means we have a warehouse full of magic and we don't even know what all we have. This list is partial. If you need something not listed, email us and ask. Often, even if we don't have it, we can tell you where to find it. (Of course, we also buy collections. After all, that's how we get the stuff.)
 |  IA001
Die Box - professional Approx. 12"x4"x4" and signed
and numbered in a limited collector's edition. It is made from several different woods and
is quite attractive. They were sold at the 1998 I.B.M. convention for $400 each. After the
convention, there were four left and we bought them at a good price. This listing will be
removed when they are gone (we have two left) . The pack of cigarettes in the photo is
just to give you an idea of the size. It has the sliding mechanicism and both the die and
the fake are made of wood. $249.00 |

Flower
Garden
This is from my own show. A 5 1/2' bare trellis sits center stage. Magician produces a bouquet of flowers from a 36" scarf. Suddenly the bouquet splits in two, becoming two bouquets. Magician places one on the trellis but as he again walks downstage, the other in his hand becomes two. One of these is placed on the trellis. This is repeated 8 times until the trellis (pictured) is now covered with flowers which can now be used as an attractive set piece for the remainder of the show. Trellis is about 5 1/2' tall and breaks down for flat packing in its own wood case. Excellent condition, custom made. Flowers are Abbott's. Trellis made by Bud West of Abbott's. Comes with case, Trellis and 8 bouquets of flowers. $1500. (Note: Windley's entire illusion show is for sale of which this is one of the pieces.)
Bloodless Surgery
Assistant with bare arms sits on stool and places her right arm across table.
Real electric buzz saw is turned on and magician slices through girl's wrist, moves saw to
the left and cuts through the arm just below the elbow. Arm is now picked up and
removed from table. Upon command, she moves the fingers of her hand still remaining on
table. Arm is replaced and the arm is restored. Breaks down into two pieces
and comes in its own packing case. Saw and motor are real, metal is aluminum piping.
This was custom made by Bud West with improvements. Can be performed without the drawer in
place. (Although called 'Bloodless Surgery, on our South American tour, we used blood.)
$4,800. (Note: Windley's entire illusion show is for sale of which this is one of
the pieces.)
Haunted Castle
Doll house illusion made to look like a castle. Excellent artwork. Great way to
produce and vanish a ghost. Packs in it own base. Custom made by Bud West. For
traveling, entire house packs into the base.$1750. (Note: Windley's entire illusion
show is for sale of which this is one of the pieces.)
Slot Machine
From a routine in Tarbell by Melbourne Christopher. Pull handle, windows show
three lemons and 3 real lemons come out of the coin slot. Open and show empty. Close
and play again. Windows show 3 jackpots, bell rings, flash pot goes off, lid opens and
girl pops out. Made of wood covered with brushed aluminum sheeting. Note that the front
door opens downward. Flash pot built in lid is operated by girl. Custom made by Bud West.
$3600. (Note: Windley's entire illusion show is for sale of which this is one of the
pieces.)
Tricky Bottles A 'You Do As I Do'
routine. You and a spectator each holds a bottle and covers it with a tube. A bit of
byplay but each time, your bottle turns upside down while in the tube. Bottles can be
exchanged at any time. The routine ends when your bottle turns into a ketchup bottle.
(That's not the normal ending but it's the ending for THIS set!) This is made by
Grant Magic which predates Mak magic. Tubes are metal. Bottles are glass. Fine condition.
$50.00
ES002 Al Baker's Diminishing Cards
Made by Viking-Henchien. These are no longer made because the process was too labor
intensive. Effect is that of a fan of cards diminishing several times. A standard effect
but this method made for the professional magician. Each card in all the fans are secretly
strung together making a perfect fan each time. Gimmick folding the fans are brass. A real
pleasure to perform. We have 2 new (not used) decks with instructions. $39.00
each.
Art of Thought Reading by Dunninger. Published in 1962. For the collector. This is a softcover booklet sold to the public teaching how to read minds. It doesn't mention 'tricks' but preports to teach how to actually read minds. It was a promo piece used to convince the public that Dunninger was a legitimate mind reader. 42 pages with photographs. Very rare. $75.00
| Dusheck's Coin magic. A small hardbound book teaching effects with coins. New condition *$20.00 |
| Visionary Card Effects by Wm. P. Miesel Small hardbound book teaching unique card effects. $20.00 |
| AB024 Silks - 36" No longer made in this size. Good to cover a side table or throw over a prop backstage so stage hands won't mess with it. We have the following colors left: green,blue,orange and red. Each $20.00 |
| 
Rice's 36" Clown Silk good condition. $50.00 |
|  Wandering
Lipstick Tubes - New Three brass containers are shown. One rattles when shaken,
the other two do not. Magician proceeds to present a Three Card Monty -type routine with
the audience guessing which is the rattling Tube. They are never correct as you have
complete control over which tube rattles. Comes with instructions. $55.00 |
|  Wandering Lipstick Tubes - Star Same
as above but manufactured by the Star Magic Company in the 1950's. This is a better set as
the tubes are sealed and cannot be unscrewed. They are tarnished but could be polished if
you so desired. Personally, I would leave then the way they are. Comes with routine and a
leather purse. Quite rare, they still work fine. $75.00 |
| 
Lit Multiplying Candles Manufacturer unknown but I believe from India. Decent set
although a bit large. In good condition. $20.00 |
|  Card to Wallet - Tannen A selected,
signed playing card vanishes from the deck and appears in a zippered compartment of the
magician's wallet. This is a good leather wallet and works well. Missing in the photo is a
note pad attached to the wallet but we will provide one. Comes with instructions. You must
be able to palm a card to present this effect. $60.00 |
|  Card
to Wallet - Italy This was never a manufactured item. An American magician had
these made by a leather company when he was in Italy. It is the finest Card to Wallet I
have ever seen; both in working and in the quality of the leather. It is, however, a
European wallet which is a bit larger than wallets made in the U.S.A. due to the size of
their currency being larger. The selected, signed playing card appears in a sealed
envelope in the zippered compartment of the wallet. This is in new condition and we only
have one. $100. |
| 101 Acrobatic Matchbox Not plastic. Made from a real matchbox. Place box in the palm of your hand and is rises up and the drawer opens all by itself. Instructions include the Amedeo Handling. $4.50 |
| 102 Stick-IT Dumb name for a great prop. This is an invisible gimmick you wear that enables almost anything to stick to your hand and fingers...pens, glasses, a deck of cards, etc. You can show both sides of your hands before, after and during. Instantly repeatable.. $8.50 |
| 103 Mental Logs Four metal bars with numbers stamped on them. Spectator arranges the bars in any combination Making 4 four diget numbers. You immediately announce the total before he can add them up. There are over 1,000 combinations yet the secret is very simple. Bars are about 2" long by 1/2" square so this can easily be carried in your pocket. Numbers won'trub off as they are etched into the metal bars. $22.00 |
| 106 Stage Reel I.T.R. This is an Invisible Thread Reel made for stage work. $50 |
| 107 Rose To Silk You pluck the rose on your Tux lapel and it becomes a silk handkerchief. Comes with red Silk but you could use white if you prefer. $12.50 |
| 108 18" Happy Birthday Silk Not a trick, just a colorful picture silk with a rabbit, cake and the words 'Happy Birthday". Use as a production item. Nice artwork by P&A Silks. $20.00 |
| 110 Handkerchief Ball. metal, flesh color. Made by Morrisey. No instructions. For handling, refer to Tarbell, Ency of Silk Magic, etc. $18.00 |
| 112 Color Changing Knife Set of three. White knife turns to Black. Comfortable to work but looks like a cheep knife which it is. It will serve you well, however, until you can plop down a couple hundred for a good set. $15.00 |
| 113 Half & Half. Weird. A playing card printed on the back of a business card. Show two, a ten clubs and a five diamonds. Rub the two cards together and now each card has half of both cards. (Yeah, you have to read that again.) Good effect and the front of the cards are blank so you can print your own business card. No gimmicks, it's all in the handling which is explained in the instructions. Enough to give away 2 doz cards (more if you use your computer's printer.) $12.00 |
| 114 Card in Glass by Harry Allen (Daytona Magic) This is the rising cards done sideways. Several spectators each select a playing card and return then to the deck which is placed in a wine glass. The bottom card of the deck can be seen through the glass. A handkerchief briefly covers the glass and the bottom card is now one of the selected cards. The card is removed and the action repeated with the second selected card appearing, etc. This is easy to perform and can be done under any conditions. You recieve the deck, glass and, of course, instructions. $15.00 |
| 116 Spooky Glass Hard to obtain. A clear glass disc about the size of a silver dollar. Spectator selects a card from a deck (Your own deck and force) and an image of the card appears in the glass. This can be immediately repeated with a different card. $20.00 |
| 117 Let's Have A Drink Several cards are shown with names of cocktails on them. Spectator's selection is discovered by the magician. Good for a magical bartender. $6.00 |
| 118 Magician's Credit Card This must be magic. How many magicians do you know that can actually get a credit card? Show the card which is laminated in plastic. It has funny stuff so is fun to read. Spectator selects a card which is returned to the deck. Spectator is given the credit card to insert in the deck and the card will be the one directly above the credit card. Trick fails until it is discovered that the selected card is actualy inside the sealed plastic case with the credit card. $20.00 |
| 119 Mark Leveridge Cards On Parade This was out long before Twisted Sisters and yet it is the exact same effect. Hmmm.Spectator mearly thinks of one of four red backed cards and it turns over in the stack. Same with a stack of four blue backed cards. Easy to perform with the special cards. $20.00 |

VIDEONICS
When VCR's were new, Videonics recorded the leading magicial performers and lecturers of the day. There were 116 total and they sold for $49 each. Many of the magicians are no longer with us: Dai Vernon, Gary Ouellet and many others.
When Videonics went out of business in the mid-1980's, we acquired the complete set and offer them now. We have one of each. They are not copies and come in their original box. Each runs about an hour.
$25.00 each or 5/$100.
Note: We need to get out of the Videonics business. $200.00 brings you all the remaining tapes
