Ring Escape - £24.99

A finger ring is borrowed from a spectator. The ring is placed onto the bolt and secured on by the nut. A padlock is placed through a hole in the bolt, securing the ring on the assembly. The magician holds the bolt in his hands, under a cloth. On the count of three, the magician shows that the ring has escaped from the nut and bolt, with the padlock still locked in place!

Vanishing Glass and Liquid - £3.99
Skill Rating: Easy
A reputation-making magic trick!
A small glass full of liquid is shown to the audience. They can inspect it thoroughly, if they so choose. Holding the glass in an outstretched hand which is otherwise empty, the magician then promptly vanishes the glass - liquid and all - by squeezing his palms together. One minute the glass is there, the next it's gone. Comes complete, ready to work. A classic magic trick.

Mummy Finger - £2.50
Skill Rating: Easy
This is an old effect, so old that it is new to a whole new generation.
The performer shows a small box labeled Mummy Finger, stating this is a souvenir he purchased on his last trip to Egypt. The box is opened to display a finger resting on a pad of cotton. A spectator is invited to touch the finger, and it wiggles, producing a gasp or a laugh. We supply the special Mummy Finger box, very nicely produced by offset printing. It is the size of a matchbox, with the decorated cover, and a plastic tray, to give you a longer lasting and sturdier prop than the traditional cardboard models. A novel gag item, at a very low price.

Locked Card Box (Wooden) - £23.99
Skill Rating: Easy
The Card Change Box is one of the classic utility props, with a host of applications.
As the name suggests it is a box for changing a playing card, and can be equally effective to change a business card, paper slips, or envelopes, currency notes etc. This model resembles a simple unadorned wooden box, apparently designed to hold your precious deck of cards, complete in it's case. It is designed in a size to hold a complete deck of playing cards with case, (Bridge or Poker size), making it a natural prop. You could use it to hold your deck of cards, remove the cards from the box during performance, and use the box for the change during your effect. The audience does not suspect it as a special magician's prop. It has a magnetic locking feature, so box can be handled by the audience after the change of a card, or paper slip etc. It is supplied complete with ideas for use.

Hell Bent - £10.99

Finger Chopper: Impossible Guillotine - £6.99
Skill Rating: Easy
Astounding close-up illusion! An incredible twist to this easy to perform favourite illusion! A very popular, clever trick because the spectators always expect the magic to go wrong. And they never expect the ending to this one! The blade is removed from the holder. The blade is solid (the illustration shows the blade fully inserted into the frame, with the hole through it). The volunteer places their finger through the hole in the frame. The blade is positioned at the top of the frame, then- BAM! The blade is pushed right through the finger, without hurting it a bit. But wait! The frame is opened to reveal that the finger is now through a hole in the formerly solid blade! How in the world is that possible???
Supplied ready to work, with instructions.
Chopper is quality made of heavy black plastic. About 4" high.

Have a Ball (Mini briefcase production) £24.99

A miniature version of the Bowling Ball from briefcase trick. Show the miniature briefcase closed. Open it up and take out a solid golf ball or jumbo dice!

Have A Ball is a great comedy prop, excellent for close up, and restaurant work. Resets immediately.
Very well made. 2½ inch by 4 inch briefcase. Made in the United States by Ickle Pickle.

Impossible Dice Escape - £6.99

Skill Rating: Easy
Impossible Die Escape in one of the cleverest close-up penetration effects ever. A truly brilliant idea. The clever secret will intrigue you! You show a square tube that is closed at one end and holes in two of its sides, a small die with corresponding holes through it and a miniature magic wand. The die is dropped into the tube and the wand inserted through the holes going through the tube and the die inside it, trapping it firmly into the tube. A spectator can examine this and the die cannot possibly escape from the wand – the only way is to remove the wand completely allowing the die to fall out of the tube completely free. The die is again dropped into the tube and the wand reinserted then the tube is inverted with the open end over a spectator’s palm. With a magic word and a simple tap, the die penetrates right off the wand falling free into the spectator’s waiting hand. It truly seems impossible!
