Card Sword - £69.99
Skill Rating: Intermediate
This is a classic effect featured on stage by many of the great magicians of the past. Properly presented, there are very few tricks with a pack of cards, which can match this for impact on an audience. One or more spectators select three cards from the pack. The cards are shuffled back into the pack, which is held by the spectator, standing a few feet away from the magician. The magician picks up a sword, and the spectator is asked to throw the pack towards the tip of the sword. As the pack is tossed, the magician stabs the sword into the cascading cards. Three cards are found impaled on the sword. These are the same three cards selected by the spectators.

Chinese Sticks - was £12.50 Now £6.99
Skill Rating: Easy
Two sticks are shown; each has a cord and a pom pom on one end. By pulling on one cord the other cord shortens on the other stick, this can be repeated several times. The audience believe the cords to be connected through the sticks, yet the sticks can be separated at the front and the trick still works, one cord appears to control the other. The real shock is when the sticks are held completely apart and still one cord is pulled the other shortens.

Clown who lost his Head - £79.99
Skill Rating: Easy
A large wooden cut out figure of a clown holding a balloon is shown. The magician explains that clowns are always changing their faces, and sometimes losing them in the process! Magician now removes the clown's head and places it in a handkerchief (the "dressing room") to change the clown's face. However, when he tries to retrieve the face from the "dressing room", it has completely vanished. After a search, (opening out the handkerchief, shaking it and displaying both sides) he wonders what he should do? Inspiration strikes, the balloon from the clown's hand is removed and replaced in lieu of the head. Efforts are made to make the balloon more respectable with marker pens, lipsticks and face paints, but to no avail. The only resolution seems to be a bit of magic! After the whole audience shouts magic words, the balloon bursts and the clown's head is back in place.

Colouring Book, Pocket Size Deluxe (By Royal) - £4.50

Skill Rating: Easy
I have used this in virtually every child’s show I have performed over the years, it is so visual andinvolves all of the children and grown-ups - it's a winner every time! A colouring book is flicked through, cover-to-cover, but the pictures are missing. The children and grown-ups are asked to throw magic invisible paint at the book to try and create pictures, shouting magic words as they do so. When the book is flicked through again, pictures have appeared but they are not coloured in. The children have to throw more paint at the book so the pictures are coloured in. Again when the book is flicked through, the pictures have been coloured in.

Super Comedy Funnel (Deluxe) - £39.00

Skill Rating: Easy
A great comedy gag! Water is poured into a chrome funnel, but the water does not emerge from the bottom, the funnel is turned upside down, the water has really vanished! The funnel can then be placed anywhere to produce water. A classic effect is to use a child assistant as a "pump" to produce the water from their elbow.
The SUPER COMEDY FUNNEL is a more sophisticated version than the Comedy Funnel. It is larger and works on a slightly different principle. The Super Comedy Funnel works like a tap which you can turn on and off under your control. This allows for easier handling and requires little preparation before the show.
