Chick Pan

The Chick Pan is a smaller version of the classic Dove Pan. 
The performer shows an empty pan.  A piece of flaming paper could be placed in the pan for dramatic effect, and transformed into the item to be finally produced. The pan is covered for a instant, and when the cover is lifted a live chicken appears in the pan.
This is an utility production prop, which can be used for producing small live stock or other solid loads.  A favorite with children's performers is to put in invisible ingredients and "bake-a-cake". Another very effective presentation is the Ribbon Fountain, where multicolor ribbon flows out of the pan. The apparatus we supply is made from seamless spun aluminum.  The pan measures approximately 6.5" in diameter and only an inch in height.  The complete apparatus (with cover) measures approximately 6.75" in diameter and 3 inches in height (including the knob on the cover). The Chick Pan is an attractive prop, very reasonably priced, and supplied complete with instructions and ideas for use.

The Chick Fan Flower Bunch is a special bunch of super size spring flowers, designed to fit in the Chick Pan, and make a large production, appearing much larger than the pan.


 

Chinese Fanning Deck

This is a very specially prepared pack of cards with which you can perform some very impressive flourishes, to create an impression of incredible skill.  In fact, the flourishes are almost automatically performed with the specially prepared cards. You shuffle the cards, then make beautiful designed arches, wheels and rosettes, or perform a perfect Waterfall Shuffle with the cards. 
The deck is some what similar to the Electric Deck with which most magicians are familiar, but the construction of this deck is quite different.  As a result you can use both the long and narrow edges of the cards to make the designs, allowing you to produce a much greater variety. 
The Chinese Fanning Deck is hand crafted and comes to you complete and ready to work with instructions.



 

 Chop Card

The Chop Card effect allows the Magician to perform some very different and offbeat magic with some cards and coins.
What we supply is half a dozen Playing Cards, one of which is a "Chop Card" and has a magnet concealed in it.  This is an ultra thin magnet, so that the Chop Card can be very freely handled as just an ordinary playing card.  This card will attract magnetic steel coins or other steel objects like small keys and washers. The use of this gimmicked card for magic are many, and we supply a very detailed instruction sheets for handling the cards, and many of the effects you can perform with it. Wave a couple of playing cards shown freely on both sides over your empty palm and produce a coin.  Or wave the card over a coin on your hand and have it transform into an entirely different coin.  Use the card for a very easy (almost mechanical) version of a four coins assembly.  Or have a coin penetrate through a playing card placed on a clear glass tumbler.  Our three page instructions manuscript details all these effects, and will spark ideas for many others.
The Chop Card is a very useful Magic prop, which you can easily carry in your pocket, and use to perform effective close-up magic with coins, keys, tokens, etc.  It is supplied complete with instructions.


 

 

 Professional Metal Chop Cup 

This is a professional Chop Cup made from seamless spun aluminum for the close-up magician. The Chop Cup allows you to perform many Cups and Balls type routines, using a single cup, where balls magically penetrate, appear under, or vanish from a cup. It has a mechanical feature, which in combination with standard moves makes for some very magical effects.

Our Chop Cup is approximately 3" in diameter and 3.5" in height, and is supplied complete with a Magnetic ball, matching Non-magnetic Ball and a Pom Pom Ball for a climax production, plus a manuscript of moves and routines with the cup.

The Professional Metal Chop Cup comes to you in a handsome knitted wool carry bag at a very reasonable price.



 

 Clear Penetration

A pencil penetrates through a clear "glass" sheet.  We have had a model of this in the past in our range.  We now have a new model, better finished, better working, and at a much lower price. The performer displays a clear sheet in a plastic frame.  After the frame is examined, two playing cards are placed over the middle of the clear sheet.  A pencil is now pushed through the cards, apparently penetrating right through the middle of the plastic sheet. When the frame is now examined, the cards have holes through them, but the clear plastic sheet sandwiched by the cards is entirely intact.  And the frame can be handed over for examination. 

Clear Penetration is a mechanical self working item, easy to do when you follow the instructions enclosed.   Excellent value, and a trick ready to use at any time, under any performing conditions.



 
 

 Candle Through Silks

Penetrations make for impressive magic effects, specially when the penetration involves fire. We offer you a Candle Through Silks item, where a lit candle passes through three large silks threaded through a square tube. 
The magician displays a fold flat decorated tube with three large holes on two sides.  The tube can be very freely displayed, then three large silks are passed through the holes in the sides.  The tube is turned to display the silks fill the entire inside of the tube.  A large lit candle (which could also be examined) is now passed through the tube.  It seems impossible this can go through without burning the silks.  Yet when the silks are removed, they are found to be totally unharmed. This works differently to the usual penetration effects, and you will like the simple mechanism that makes the effect possible. 

We supply you the special decorated laminated tube, complete with the three large silks, and full working instructions.  You can use any long candle (fancy or plain), as there is nothing tricky about this.



 

 Computer Design Cards

This is a completely self working item, which you can perform, without even knowing how or why it works. The performer displays a "chart" with over a dozen different pictures or designs on it. A spectator mentally thinks of any design.  There are no forces, and the item can be repeated with a different design at every showing. A few more cards are now displayed.  These have some of the designs on them.  They are punched like the computer cards used to be when there were no PCs in every home !  These cards have an OK and NO printed along their edges.  The spectator is asked to arrange these cards in a pile.  If his design appears on the card, it is placed with the OK to the top.  If is doesn't appear on the cards, it is placed with the NO edge to the top. The magician can then instantly name the selected design.  Or if  you wish, you can have another spectator reveal the selected design.  Computer Design Cards come to you with all the necessary cards, with the designs silk screened in bright eye catching colors, and full working instructions . 

Ideal as an item to perform for yourself, or as a clever self working trick to present to any magic lover. 


Card Sword

The Card Sword is one of the most dramatic and effective stage items you can perform with a pack of cards. 
The performer displays a pack of cards.  Three cards are selected by members of the audience, and shuffled back into the pack. The pack is held by a spectator.  Performer displays a large sword.  Spectator is asked to toss the cards at the sword.  As the cards cascade down, the performer plunges the sword into the shower of cards.  The audience see three cards impaled on the sword.  And needless to say these are the same cards selected by the audience. 
The Card Sword we supply is designed after the classic prop, some 30" long, and 4" x 3" at the hilt.  The sword is completely constructed from brass, chromium plated in a gleaming silver finish.
The trick is mechanical in working but some handling practice is required to present this effectively.  The selected cards have to be forced, as the cards that appear on the sword are not the originals, but duplicates.  You will destroy three cards with each performance, but this is a negligible price to pay for such a dramatic effect.  It is an effect which has been used by some of the greatest names in magic, - well presented the impact on the audience can equal that of a much larger and more expensive illusion. We supply you the item complete and ready to work with instructions at a very reasonable price.



 

Change Bags

We make a wide variety of Change Bags, which enable you to produce, vanish or change any items that will fit into the bag.

There are two basic models, - the One Hand models, with a small flat handle, that you can hold and operate with one hand. The standard or regular handle models are with longer handles, and require two hands to operate.

There are models that permit a single change, and Repeat models, that permit two changes. Models with Zippers enable you to open them at the bottom, and pass your hands through them, to "prove" them empty.

All the bags come with detailed instructions, and ideas for dozens of applications.
 


Candy Factory

Performer displays an empty tube, and a clear glass, full of sugar. Explain that you have a glass 
of sugar which is easily made into candy by putting it in the dark for an instant. Cover glass with the tube for an instant, then lift it away, and glass appears full with candy. 
The apparatus can be used with liquids, or other items. You can show the glass full of milk then make the milk vanish. Or show the glass full of tobacco, look around and remark that nobody seems to have brought his pipe, so there is no use offering them loose tobacco. Being a magician you can fix that, whereby you cover the glass, then lift the tube, and you have a glass of cigarettes which are at once passed out.
A useful piece of apparatus, specially for the kid show performer, easy to do, and very reasonably priced.


Cups and Balls sets.

The Cups and Balls are possibly the oldest surviving Magic effect, having been used by magicians over the centuries. Balls magically appear and vanish from under three cups, jump from under one cup to the other, change colors, or transform to onions, fruit, or even baby chicks. It is an effect you can perform for a life time, and still discover a new twist or move to add to your routine.

We make several models of this item, in various sizes, in aluminum, brass, and copper. All outfits have 3 cups, 4 hand crocheted balls, a wool carry bag, and a tutor to teach you the basics of this classic item. Approximate sizes are - 
Small 3" diameter, 3.5" height, 
Standard 3" diameter and 4" height, 
Large 3.5" diameter and 4.6" height.



 

Comedy Funnel

A classic Comedy prop. Liquid can be made to pour out at will from an empty funnel. 
Have a small boy drink a glass full of water. Now ask him to pump his arms up and down, as you touch the funnel to various parts of his body, and he sprouts a "leak" wherever you touch him. 
You call up a spectator on stage and state you are going to have him BRAIN WASHED. Pour soap water into one ear with the help of a MILK JUG through the funnel. Then hold the funnel to the other ear and have the water emerge from the funnel. If the water that emerges is dirtier in color, you can explain that the spectator has a dirty mind !
Draw a cow on a slate. Pretend to milk it into the funnel, and have real milk pour out of the funnel at the bottom. Or you could draw a bottle, and pour out the appropriate drink. If you are not much of an artist, you could even show an Ad. for a drink in a magazine, and pour out the drink from the picture via the funnel.
These are just a few ideas, from which you can milk out a lot of laughs or mystery. Use your imagination and you will find many other uses for this excellent magical prop.
The Comedy Funnel we supply is made in brass, and plated, for long life and rust free service.

We also make a Super Funnel, which serves exactly the same purpose. But it is larger, has a different mechanism, and holds a larger load of liquid. And the liquid flow is as easy to control in this model as turning a tap on or off. You could pour liquid from the Super Funnel, show it empty and place it on your table, then pick it up and pour more liquid, at will.



 

Coffee To Confetti

The performer pours out a cup of coffee.  He apparently tosses this at the audience, but instead of scalding coffee, glitter confetti pours out of the cup. 
You could of course vary the effect, pour in milk, and have tiny candy pour out, and so on.
The original method for this effect involved a partition cup with a hole, and a hallow saucer.  This has now been modified to work on the Foo Can principal, so that all the necessary gimmicking is inside the cup.
The apparatus supplied comprised of the special gimmicked cup, an ordinary saucer, and some confetti, with full instructions


.

Costume Capers

Here is a new mental Magic effect, working on a different principle that is exceptionally clean cut, direct, and colorful. The performer shows a large picture of a Girl in a bathing costume.  The picture is in a cut out frame, depicting a clothes line on the beach, with a towel slung over the line.  The towel just covers the swimming costume of the girl, leaving the rest of the picture clearly visible at all times.
Four miniature playing card size replicas of the Girl are displayed, all identical, except for the colors of the costume which are all different, - Red, Yellow, Blue and Green.
The spectator may select any of the pictures he likes,  There is no force of any kind, and the selection is absolutely fair and free.  Let us presume the spectator selects the Girl with the Green Costume. The large picture is now pulled out of the frame, facing the audience, and therefor fully visible at all times.  There is absolutely no possibility of a switch of pictures.  It is pulled out almost completely, so that the costume is fully visible.  The Girl is seem to be attired in the Green costume, the same as the spectator's free selection.
There is no switch or exchange of cards or envelopes.  The entire prediction picture is clearly on view at all times, except for the color of the costume which is hidden behind the towel.
This is a mechanical 100% sure fire prediction effect, which will permit you to produce the prediction picture dressed in any of the four colored required.  There are no forces, stooges, or similar stratagems. The manuscript supplied details presentation variations, where you are the judge at a beauty contest, or another variation with a story of four identical sisters etc.  The item is very easy to perform, requiring only a few handling trials to understand the working principle.
Costume Capers is a Sam Dalal original and comes to you complete and ready to work with instructions at a most reasonable price.  An excellent trick which packs flat, plays big and where the magic is colorful, strong and direct.
