Tel's Bell   This is a very funny and well made prop. It is a 9" brass school bell with a clacker. You shake it and it rings rather loudly. That's the problem. YOU shake it and it rings. When anyone else shakes it, there is no sound. Easy to do if you know the secreat. It is completely self-contained. Comes with a dozen ideas for routines.  Because of the quality of construction, this item is not overpriced. Comes in a velvet bag.   (Get two and you have an unusual Passe passe effect. Three and a killer stage-size Monte routine.)  I used a pair of these recently at a school show. Before the show I taught a third grade teacher how to ring the bell. It's easy if you know the secret. During the show I invited her and a sixth grade teacher on stage for a contest. Each was to stand behind a bell as I asked a question. They were to ring the bell if they knew the answer. The questions were really easy such as "what color is a zebra?". They both went for their bells but, of course, the 3rd grade teacher rang first and got to give the answer. After a few more questions, it was obvious to the students that the 6th grade teacher's bell wouldn't ring. When she complained about this, I rang it to show that it worked fine. After a few more questions she complained again so I openly switched the bells. Needless to say, the 3rd grade teacher got to answer all the questions and won. The kids knew that somehow it was a con and loved it. HC006   $85.00

Wizard Deck Special The Bicycle Wizard Deck (EC005) and an instructional DVD. EX003 $18.00

Executive Pen  A really nice chrome ballpoint pen with cap. This is (one of) the pens that you can push through a quarter or a dollar bill or almost anything. There are many versions of this popular close-up effect in all price ranges but this pen is self contained. You get one pen because there is no need to switch either before or after performing the effect and the spectator can pick up the pen and not discover its clever secret and, yes, it writes.. $29.00  

Complete Card Magic DVD  This is highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn sleight of hand with cards. This is such a massive collection of material that it takes 7 dvd's to present it all. Very professionally organized and presented. It is offered only as a complete set. The first volume is for beginners and the 7th is very advanced with material not found anywhere else so if you are a novice, it is important that you take this course in order and not skip around. The complete set is $99.00.

Napkin Rose DVD  Teaches you how to make a long stem rose by folding a napkin. This can be performed with any paper napkin but you also receive a supply of special napkins that are half red and half dark green which is a nice touch.  (note: if you have an ITR (thread reel), you can make the rose float in the air after you make it. You recieve the DVD and a supply of colored napkins. OC004 $25.00

Napkin Rose Refill  Already know how to fold a napkin into a rose? Then you don't need the DVD. Just get the special napkins. OC005  $12.00

USA FLAG BLENDO  This is a close-up version of a classic stage effect. Magician shows three small (6" square) silk hankerchiefs - red, white and blue - which he places in his fist. When he opens his hand, he is holding a 12" x 8" American flag. This comes with the four needed (unprepared) silks, good instructions and a thumb tip. (Experienced performers will prefer to replace the thumb tip with either a dye tube or Rocco's Flip Tip.)  In performing this, I was amazed that the three silks fit into the provided thumb tip rather easily. QM001  $15.00

The Hummingbird Card This and the Whirling Card that follows is the same trick. This version contains a very good instruction booklet and the gimmicks to make a playing card (or your business card) float about your body. If you can learn from a book(It is amazing to me how many people can't these days.), then get this version as it has a really neat routine and the card really does look like a hummingbird fluttering about. Otherwise go with the DVD.  $15.00

  UFO Whirling Card DVD  There is a weird effect in which you take a playing card (or your buiness card), balance it on your finger and then give it a flick with your other hand. The card leaves your finger, spins completely around your body and returns to your hands. This is weird and can be performed anywhere. After watching this DVD, you will find it is very easy to perform IF you have the gimmick. We supply the DVD and the gimmick. (There are some other web sites supplying this cheaper but without the gimmick. What good is that?)  ZC038  $15.00

The Magic Bird Cage Paddle  Yes another paddle trick but some thought went into this one. I'm going to give you my routine here, not the one that comes with the instructions so come back and read this again after you receive the props. Both routines work the same way which is just the paddle move. (Easy to do with these paddles as they are a quality wood, cut and sanded nicely with good edges.)   Show a paddle with a parrot on one side. He vanishes. Explain that he just flies under the paddle and turn the paddle over. There he is. You can hand the spectator the paddle at this point. He will eventually ask you to do it again. Take the paddle back and again the bird vanishes but this time he is gone. Both sides of the paddle are blank. Look around and try to figure out where he went. Up the spectator's sleeve is a good place. Place the tip of the paddle up the sleeve and remove it. The parrot is back. Apologize saying you don't have him completely trained and will have to put him back in his cage.  Now show a second paddle with an empty cage printed on both hides. Holding a paddle in each hand, the bird leaves the first paddle and appears in the cage. Show the first paddle blank on both sides and put it away. Hand the spectator the cage paddle which now contains the bird.     A quickie they will remember, this is perfect for the restaurant worker as there is no set up and it is always ready.  Instructions also teaches the paddle move if you don't know it. $20.00

   Ultra Perfect Clipboard   This appears to be a simple masonite clipboard that could be purchased at any stationary shop for a couple of dollars.  A piece of paper is clipped to it and it is handed to a spectator with a (any) pen. The spectator is instructed to go off alone, write a question or thought, then to remove the paper, fold it and place it in his pocket.  When he returns the board and the pen, you add a fresh piece of paper and repeat with another spectator. This can be done a half dozen or so times and it is usually done by an assistant in the lobby before the performance.  During the show, you announce the question and offer an answer. This is mentalism at its best.  There are many clipboards on the market and most look pretty bad. This is the best one we have ever seen, works like a charm and is made for many years of hard use. Quick to reset between shows and comes with a booklet of routines. This is not a toy. $175.00

Flash Flashlight     Standard looking flashlight but you slide the switch back and forth and nothing happens. Dead batteries? You unscrew the top and take away the bulb and look inside. Suddenly the blub in your hand come on and the audience lets you know this. As soon as you turn to look, the bulb goes out but light now comes out from the body of the flashlight in your other hand. You can play this back and forth as long as you like. You, of course, have complete control of both lights at all times. Instructions give other ideas.HP004 $45.00

The Joker Tube   Sometimes called Strat-O-Sphere. Magician covers a clear tube with a white tube. Three balls are inserted in the top but when the white tube is lifted, the balls are in a different order. This can be repeated. For a finale, two balls are placed in the tube and the third into a wood box. When the box is opened the ball has vanished only to reappar between the two balls in the tube. Because of the color of the balls, you can patter about traffic light safety.  This is a nice prop for children's magicians and clowns. You recieve everything needed including the vanishing box. BM002  $69.00

  See Thru Die Box  An old classic brought up to date. Standard effect in which a soid block is placed into a cabinet from which it vanished and reappears elsewhere. Before the vanish, magician only opens one door at a time while tilting the cabinet and the audience can hear the block sliding from one end to the other. In the end, all doors are opened at the same time. This unit is special for several reasons; it does not use a shell, the block placed in the cabinet does have six sides and the four doors are two in front and to in back (not on top) so the audience can see completely through the cabinet. Block is yellow for visibility and cabinet is blue for contrast. $125.00

I.T.R. Pro Pen Production was limited to 50 and no more will be produced. We have 2 left.   This is an I.T.R. (Invisible Thread Reel) concealed inside a ball-point pen. It features the new, stronger Kevlar thread and the thread unloads from the TOP of the pen, not the side. A twist of the cap and you can lock the thread if you wish. I.T.R. workers will appreciate these features. Place the pen in your shirt pocket and you are ready to go. $150.00

The Gold Key This is truly an outstanding close-up effect. A 24k gold plated key is shown and you slowly and visually slide the bit of the key 360 degrees around the base. Then you slide the bit half way up the shank of the key. Now you hand the key to the spectator. Only one key is used. This is very easy to perform and the mechanics that make it work are impressive. You will do this often. Because the gimmick is small, it is easy to lose. For this reason, we include a 2nd spare gimmick. The MSRP is $45 and worth it. Our price  is $39.  There are simular keys on the market for less money but they are not gold plated. This is important as the plating keeps the gimmick from scratching the key.

  Illusion Ring A solid metal finger ring with no moving parts. When is is turned around, either on or off your finger, the ring appears to grow larger and expand. Turn the other way and it seems to get smaller. This is an interesting three dimensional optical illusion. I put a routine to it by showing the ring and explaining that it  kept falling off my finger until I realized that it would grow when it turned around. Then I explain that I solved the problem   by turning it the other way until it fit snugly. There is no secret here as it is an optical illusion. You have a choice of gold or silver plate.  $15.00
