Qty:	Item#02900 Black and White Surprise
	The magician displays a white brass chip in one hand and a black brass chip in the other. Both hands are closed and the chips change to the opposite color. The same is repeated with a playing card between the chips. At this point, the spectator is convinced that the chips are simply white on one side and black on the other. The magician shows the chips on both sides again. Now, one is green & yellow, the other is red & blue! Great for beginners doing closeup - this one will blow them away! Finely made in heavy gauge brass. $45.00

Qty:	Heirloom - Item# 28057
	Imagine an effect that packs in to your wallet, taking up very little room. An effect that packs such a punch when you perform it that your spectators get goosebumps just thinking about it. Imagine an effect that people talk about for years to come. 'Heirloom' is all of this. It is a 'Mental/Magic' kind of effect, suitable for casual performance, table-hopping, strolling magic and more. It comes with a very strong presentation that will captivate your audience and lead to a shattering climax. It could possibly be the greatest performance piece you ever own! The 'Heirloom' is a old sepia photograph. Of your Great Uncle Charlie - a superstitious old gambler. The photograph clearly shows a prediction made by the spectator to be 100% correct. And... it can always be examined. 'Heirloom' takes the whole concept right to the very edge; the new ideas introduced will blow your audience away. The presentation, which you are given in full, delivers an emotionally charged moment of astonishment to your spectators and shows no mercy! This is the first and only time Kenton Knepper has authorized his principle for use in an effect. You will fool magicians who already know this principle with 'Heirloom'! And what's more, just look at the quality of the work involved. It is beautiful. Heirloom includes high quality props and a full description of the 'Kolossal Killer' principle and a completely scripted presentation for the effect that will absolutely blow your audience away. What People are Saying: "I think Heirloom, is a fine effect that would really kick laymen in the head."-Michael Close $35.00

Qty:	Heirloom Wallet - Item# 28058
	After weeks of designing and negotiation, Alakazam are pleased to announce that we will be offering a brand new custom designed leather wallet for use with the Heirloom trick. This wallet has been specially designed in dark leather to make performing the effect easier than ever before. And a special built-in feature allows you to show the wallet empty after you remove your prediction, eliminating any doubt in your spectator's mind! After the phenomenal success of Heirloom, we are very excited about the new companion wallet, which will also come with additional ideas and routines that will enable you to perform a number of high-impact, killer mentalism effects $62.50

Qty:	How Much #30455
	A great double impact routine. Very easy to perform, with only one simple sleight. Resets instantly. One lucky person has the chance to win a dream shopping trip. You have "store cards" for four big stores. To win, the person must guess how much the total credit limit is. They also chose which store they would like to shop at first should they win. When the magi adds up the total credit limit, it is the amount the person chose. You also predict which store the person wanted to shop at first. $15.00

Just Passin Thru - Item# 31758

Imagine a piece of magic so incredible, so visually stunning, that it looks like trick photography...but it's happening live, inches from your face!

A borrowed bill of any denomination is clearly and openly folded around a pencil. The bill is shown front and back to completely enwrap the pencil. With no moves, nothing added or taken away, almost instantly the pencil visually penetrates through the bill! The bill is once again wrapped around the pencil, but this time the pencil slowly... very slowly... melts... through... the bill!

You will enjoy performing this effect as much as your audience will be delighted watching it. With how incredibly easy "Just Passin' Thru" is to do coupled with the fact that all you need to carry is a pencil, this effect just might soon become one of your perennial favorites.

In addition, we have included Lonnie Chevrie's "Finger Thru Bill"... an amazingly visual, impromptu feat of magic that you will put to use immediately as the perfect follow-up to "Just Passin' Thru" or for those times when you don't have a pencil.

Comes complete with detailed, step-by-step and thoroughly illustrated instruction booklet which guides you through every nuance in an almost frame-by-frame manner. Also included is a bonus DVD which contains performances of "Just Passin' Thru" and "Finger Thru Bill" by their creators as well as a detailed explanation for "Just Passin' Thru" for those of you who learn better visually.

"Just Passin' Thru is one of the best thrills I've seen in a long time. The bonus finger effect is balls-to the-wall wonderful." -Paul Harris

"Just Passin' Thru is remarkably easy to do, with simply stunning results. At first I thought "This is very good". Then after seeing the slow-motion phase I said out loud to my DVD "That looks GREAT!" The packaging is more than outstanding. It's absurd that you get all of this for that price, a true bargain. Just Passin' Thru looks great, it's easy to do, with no palming or ditching. You can learn to do it in minutes. The audience is more amazed when you repeat it. How many tricks can you say that about? Frankly, the finger through the bill bonus is worth the cost of admission." -Kenton Knepper

"When I first saw the pencil 'Just Passin Thru' the dollar bill, I knew what it was like to be a layman again. Wow!" -Gregory Wilson

"This is what every magic-buying consumer is looking for: The combination of a new toy and a visually startling effect that takes old ideas in a fresh direction. It is the prop/effect/method you can't keep your hands off-of and you'll enjoy practicing with it almost as much as you'll enjoy performing the effect for actual spectators. The illustrations, printed instructions and DVD video instruction is a remarkable value for the price." -Michael Weber
