Parlor Tricks

Almost everything listed in this section is also perfectly suitable for use on a professional stage. We list them here to emphasize that these illusions can be done in a smaller, more intimate setting, where distance and angles may be less under your control than they would be in a stage setting.

Campbell's Cube Off - Item# 06900

An amazing block penetration effect by Magician Campbell McRae of Scotland - an effect that has won praise from many top performing magicians.

Suitable for stage, yet can be performed inches from your audience. The apparatus comprises of a wooden tube, with large see through holes at both ends, a solid block about 2" in size, and a brass wand. The cube is placed in the tube, visible at all times through the hole. The wand is passed through the cube and tube, locking the cube firmly in the tube. Then with a tap, the cube visibly penetrates off the wand.

There have been similar effects before, but none so clean and convincing.
The best part is that you have almost nothing to do, other than follow the instructions.
Self-Contained
NO Shell to conceal or ditch
ALL of the pieces may be shown

Campbell's Cube Off is made in wood, with a brass wand, and comes to you complete and ready to work. Use it once, and it'll have a permanent spot in your act.

This is a deluxe and enhanced version of the classic "Sucker Die Box".

A double compartment box with doors in the front and on the top and open sides is shown. A solid die that has been inspected is visibly placed in the box and the audience asked to guess the location of the die. No matter which compartment they guess you tilt the box to move the die to the other compartment. You can even hear a loud tap a tell tale sign that the die has moved to the other compartment. Obviously when the identified door is opened it is found to be empty. After some by play both the front doors, top doors and the side panels are opened but there is no sign of the die. The die has magically vanished. All the doors are then closed and magically the die appears back inside the box.

The die measures about 3" x 3 " x 3" and the box measures about 10" x 5 3/4" x 5 1/2". The box and die are made in wood and the box is lacquered to high glossy finish. This is an excellent price for an excellent quality prop.

	You'll never run out of uses for this beautiful apparatus. Here's the effect. A metal pan is shown to be empty. The magician breaks a real egg into the pan, adds salt, pepper and vinegar (really lighter fluid). A match is thrown in and the entire mix burst into flames! A pan lid is put on to extinguish the flames. The lid is immediately removed to reveal a dove, small animal, popcorn, candy, or sponge cake. Your production is limited only by the size of the pan. Made of highly polished aluminum, this device is light weight but sturdy, with an excellent quick action release. Also available in a double load model that will allow you to produce a second full load immediately after the first! Pan is 7 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches high.

Qty:	Elemendo - Item# 15605
	The performer recites... "I would like to share a story with you. A story about... creation!!" He displays a chain of four small silks and continues. "In the beginning there was nothing but darkness (shows black silk), a void of emptiness and utter chaos. Yet from chaos the Maker formed order and sense. First the elements were brought together in union. First there was water (blue silk), then there was land (green silk), then fire (orange silk), and last but not least there was air!" The performer gathers up all the silks in his hand and gently blows a puff of air upon them. The four small silks instantly transform into a large "sunburst" style silk made up of the four colors, and resembling the Planet Earth. "And so... from darkness and the elements was formed the Earth, and life!" Product Dimensions Big Silk: Approximately 32" x 32" (81cm x 81 cm) Small Silks: Approximately 11.5" x 11.5" (29cm x 29cm) $40.00

Qty:	Item#37601 Needle Through Arm (by Harry Anderson)
	No one who has ever seen this effect will dispute that it is the most realistic, hair raising, chilling mini illusion available. A hat pin about 12 inches long is displayed, and can be used to pop a balloon if desired. The pin is slowly pushed through the upper portion of the magician's forearm. It is through sheer will power that you control the flow of blood, until you are distracted. Then the blood begins to flow! The needle is moved in and out of the freshly made wound. When the audience just can't take any more, you remove the pin and use a small sewing needle to "sew" the wound closed. A pass of your hand and it has healed before their eyes. No latex. No fake skin. Made of high quality stainless steel. Comes with Harry Anderson's detailed instructions on both technical aspects and working the audience. We cannot convey how UNBELIEVABLY REALISTIC this illusion is! For the first time this illusion now includes fake blood and that little something extra. $40.00

Qty:	Item#52800 Strat-O-Sphere
	Very visual! A clear plastic tube rests on a base. Three balls are shown. They are colored red, yellow and green. The clear tube is covered with a brightly painted metal cover and the balls are dropped inside. The audience is asked to remember what order the balls are in. Even though there is just enough room in the tube to fit the three balls, one on top of the other, the ball placed on top always winds up in the wrong place when the tube is uncovered! One ball, the red one, always does the wandering. Finally, the magician take this roaming ball and places it in a wooden box. When the box is flipped open, the ball has vanished! The audience can see completely through the box! The ball then reappears in the plastic tube between the other two. Several routines are provided in the instructions. Color scheme provides a perfect opportunity for stoplight and other color based themes. No sleights or intricate moves. A lot of value for the price. $75.00

	Two bottles and two metal covers are shown. The magician uses one and a spectator uses the other. Both covers are shown to be empty and then placed over the bottles.

Repeat as many times as your like. At the finale, your bottle turns over inside its cover at your command! Very popular effect. Beautifully made with real glass bottles and elegantly painted covers.
