Card Duck Puppet
Here is a
pretty variation of the Card Duck! This is a hand-puppet
duck which will open its beak, make a quack and shoot out its
tongue! What is more, you can have him peck out the selected
card from a miniature deck of cards!
You will love him! He is
lots more fun and more versatile than the usual wooden card
duck! Even if you just use him as a hand puppet, the kids will
love his antics! And there's more!! You can also use him as a
vent duck!

Colour Chance
The magician displays four coloured
cords and explains that a banknote is tied in the centre of one
of the cords. Three spectators select a cord each leaving one
for the magician. As each spectator selects his cord, it is
removed and shown to be without any banknote. Needless to say,
the last cord left for the magician is the one with the banknote
tied on!
The trick is easy to
perform and all the ropes can be examined. This colourful
close-up "Just Chance"
effect is always interesting for any audience!
£5
Invisible Cigarette Production
Pretend to catch an invisible
cigarette from the air and put it to your lips. Take out a
matchbox, remove a match and pretend to light the invisible
cigarette. To everyone's surprise, when you lower your hands
from your face, you are seen to be smoking a real cigarette! You
can now go into a manipulative routine with the cigarette or use
it for another effect like the cigarette vanish from
handkerchief with the you-know-what!
The trick is supplied
with a special gimmicked matchbox which will enable you to do
the trick anywhere at anytime! Use your own cigarette!

Knotted Ring Escape
Borrow a finger ring, thread it on a
cord and tie a loose knot over it. Close your hand over the ring
and knot, wave the magic wand (or utter the magic words!), open
your hand .... and the ring is gone! The knot is still there,
but the ring has vanished!
You can now reproduce the ring from
wherever you fancy, from a bread roll, from your pocket, from a
closed ring box or, and we recommend this highly, from our
Velvet Nest of Bags (see below).
This is not a
self-working trick. You have to practise the moves. You are
supplied with my original method of secretly releasing a ring
from a knot on the cord. The method is very clean and natural -
no suspicious moves or finger contortions! You will have to give
it some practice to learn the mechanics to be able to do
everything smoothly but once learned, you have a close-up gem
forever!
We supply you with the right type
and length of cord and a nice ring for you to practise with
though you will prefer to do the trick with a borrowed ring once
you have learnt it. This is good!
£5
Miracle Gem
Display a
red "ruby" on the fingers.
Wave the hand slightly up and down
and the gem suddenly changes into a blue "sapphire"! Make
another waving motion and the gem changes again into a brilliant
"diamond"!
For the finish, pass the stone into
the other hand, say the magic words and the stone has changed
into a large green "emerald"! Alternatively, the gem vanishes
without a
trace!
The trick looks like
fantastic sleight of hand but in reality, it is very, very
simple to do! You are supplied with a special gimmick with all
the gemstones.

Net Coin Bag
Show a small empty bag
with a net front. Catch an invisible coin from the air and throw
it towards the bag… the coin appears visibly in the bag! Remove
the coin and place it in the pocket.
Now catch another coin
and throw it towards the bag again. Another coin appears! Remove
that and continue catching coins from the air! In the end, tip
the last coin out from the bag and it changes visibly into a
giant coin!
You can do an impromptu
miser’s dream with this bag or you can use it as a mini egg bag
using a coin (or other small object) instead of an egg! For
kiddies’ shows, use sweets and chocolates! You can apparently
produce a number of sweets and finish by producing a small bar
of chocolate or a small lollipop!
To use the bag as a mini
egg bag, show the bag and a coin. Drop the coin into the bag
then pretend to take it out again. In reality, you let it slide
into the secret pocket. You can now make it disappear from the
closed hand (or from the pocket) then make it reappear in the
bag again. These actions can be repeated a few times and you can
incorporate many of the egg bag moves with sucker explanations,
etc. in the routine. Finally, produce the large coin as a
climax. Play around with the bag and you will find many ideas!
The bag is furnished with a nice jumbo Chinese coin.
£12
Ring & Rope Routine
This is a routine with a
piece of rope and a large plastic ring.
The ring and ropes are
unprepared and can be examined. They penetrate repeatedly
through each other in an inexplicable manner and in the end, the
ring is actually tossed into a large knot tied on the rope!
The effect is a classic by now and
nothing new, but we do supply our usual soft white rope with a
large handsome plastic ring that gives the effect that added
touch of class. The ring is small enough to be transported
around for close up yet is large enough to be performed on
stage!
£6.50
Star
Trix
Here is a set of mirrored
stars with which you can perform lots of routines as the stars
can be handled like coins. The various basic coin
sleights like the Thumb Palm, the Finger Palm, the Downs’ Edge
Palm and even the Classic Palm can all be used with the stars
and you can produce the stars from the various palming positions
just like coins. In fact, you will find some of the moves easier
with the stars than with coins as their pointed ends give you a
better grip!
You are supplied with
three mirrored stars and instructions for different effects. The
effects are not self-working. You have to be able to do at least
some basic coin sleights.
£6.50
Wishing Star
Show a mirrored star at your fingertips explaining that it is a
“wishing star”. Ask the spectator to make a wish, close your
hand over the star, open your hand again and the star has
vanished. Perhaps it has gone to realize the spectator’s wish?
Who knows??
You receive a silver
mirrored star. Combine the star with our other star tricks and
create a routine with stars.
£4
Velvet Nest of Bags
A marked
coin or borrowed ring is vanished by your favourite method. The
spectator himself opens a small velvet bag which he has been
holding all the time and removes a still smaller bag. He opens
this bag and finds another smaller bag, tightly sealed with an
elastic band. This last bag is opened and inside is the vanished
coin or ring!
You can use any vanish
for the coin but we do highly recommend our
Substitution Hanky (see item under
Accessories section) which makes a really perfect combination
with the trick!
Note these points again: * The
bags are all tightly sealed and the spectator himself opens each
bag as he finds it. * He himself finds the vanished
article in the last bag. * The vanished article is loaded
instantly without any fumbling or hesitation. * The bags
remain flat at all times (no unsightly bulge as with a nest of
boxes) and the trick can be performed close-up and surrounded.
* The trick is always ready!
