SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY HAVE SLIPPED YOUR NOTICE
A Potpourri of Magical Effects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ACROBATIC FISH: A Time-tested comedy routine that brings cheers and jeers with a climax that is sure to fool and most importantly, ENTERTAIN! Acrobatic Fish has proven to be a winner for both adult and kid show entertainers. Don't pass this up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ZIMMERSTAB: Dick's favorite Card Stab rountine. The Zimmer Stab is a very effective routine using simple props ( a kitchen knife and cards) plus good staging culminating in a do-anywhere card stab. A precision gimmick supplied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AUTO SILK TO BALL: The performer (that's you!), displays a red silk handkerchief at his fingertips. As you slowly move your hand up and down, the silk hank magically rolls upo into your hand and changes into a red billiuard ball. This is the original mechanical version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Viking's original BALLOON CHANGE BAG: The bag is turned inside out and shown to be empty. The interial cloth lining is very colorful and displays a bright assortment of balloons, but no real balloons. The performer gives the bag a shake anad all the balloons vanish from the lining and appear as REAL balloons! This is great for any balloon worker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DELUXE BOOK OF SHADOWS: A wonderful leather-bound book with blank pages that can be used in any bizarre magick routine or simply to jot down your ideas, drawings, etc. This is a great prop to add that element of authenticity to an old world act. Supplied with brass lock for security.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
COLOR MONTE: One of the best packet effects ever invented. Has magic and comedy rolled into one. This is a betting game where the spectator is always wrong and ends up owing you $7.00; you go double or nothing and he sees the out-come as a sure bet so he goes for it only to end up owing you $14.00! with a built-in climax to boot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CAN O CHIPS: The Can O' series created by Collectors' Workshop have been staple effects in the shows of professional performers the world over. A borrowed object (ring, watch, marked coin, etc.), is caused to vanish only to appear inside a SEALED can of chips. The can can be examined and no trace of how the magic happens. Available in Chip and Peanut cans. Reusable gimmick that will last a lifetime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DR. BILL'S IMPOSSIBLE STOP TRICK: A prediction is made (one single playing card is sealed in a pay envelope) and the spectator has a free choice of playing cards. Upon revealing his choice it is found that the performer has predicted his choice 100%. The method is quite clever. Cards are mixed and then dealt onto the table until the spectator calls ‘STOP’. That card is seen to match the prediction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CHEST OF NOSTRADAMUS: Probably one of the most diabolical prediction methods ever devised. The spectator supplies a random number between 1 and 52. A deck of cards that has been locked anad chained inside a wooden chest is removed by the spectator and the cards counted down to his secret number. The card at that point matches a sealed prediction. Impossible but true.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VIKING'S DIMINISHING CARDS: Hearalded as the best made by professional performers the world over. A standard deck is fanned and each time the fan shrinks down to nothingness!
|
|
|
|
|
|
CORRECT KEY: A seven keys to Baldpate routine with a Master lock. Only one key will open the lock and even under the most rigid conditions; the magician never touches a thing and yet, the key left for him opens the lock. \
Many routine ideas will present themselves. Top quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FORCE OF THOUGHT: A great force of any two cards by Charles Reynolds. The handling is above board and easy. Fan the deck and display the array of cards. Then simply riffle the deck towards the spectator. He is asked to mentally think of a card as the cards riffle by. DONE! It’s that easy and can be repeated with another card immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WAREHOUSE FIND-Only two available: DELBEN BLOTTEER: The finest example of the delben Blotter made by Viking. No longer produced. Select hardwood blotter changes paper into real money. Walnut finish with Viking's great attention to detail. These are fast becoming a collector's item.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GRANT'S ACES: Four Aces are displayed in the stand, one each in each window. The Aces are removed and clearly shown, then returned to the stand, each in their own window. A wave of the hand and all the Aces are transported to a single window joining the Ace of Spads, as in ‘birds of a feather flock together’. When the other cards are shown, they are all indifferent cards!
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
PSYCHIC HAT PINS: By Dick Zimmerman. An incredible double-coincidence where the performer and a spectator each plunge pins through a sheet of newspaper that is covering a group of cards. Both cards pierced by the pins turn out to be the slected cards!
|
|
|
|
|
|
WORLD'S SECOND BEST CARD TRICK: Now, a CW classic. A great comedy effect with a kicker ending. This is as much fun for the perfomer as it is for the audience.
Audiences love it when we screw up, only to have the tables turned at the end.

A steel ball is dropped into the wewll on the side of the bottle. The rubber ring is moved downward and when the bottle is turned over the ball defies gravity and will not drop out!
