Close-up Magic

Signed Bill to 'Tic Tac' box! + 3 mind blowing bonus effects!

Effect: A bill is borrowed and signed by the spectator. The performer then completely vanishes the bill. The performer then points out a tin of mints that has been in view throughout. The spectator tips out the contents. Inside is a box of ‘Tic Tac’ breath mints but instead of mints a folded bill can be clearly seen. The lid is popped off the box and the bill is tipped out onto the spectators hand. They actually see it come from the box which is now genuinely empty. The bill is unfolded and sure enough, it bears the spectators signature!

Can also be performed with playing cards, business cards, billets etc. The possibilities for this amazing utilty gimmick are endless!

ALSO INCLUDES 3 AWESOME BONUS EFFECTS!

BONUS 1. Cards Gone Wild - An incredible packet effect that YOU WILL USE! Two spectators each choose one of the four Aces. In an instant, all the Aces change into the first selection with the exception of one which is face down. This card is revealed to be the second selection!

BONUS 2. Twisted Limo Service - The four Jacks are removed from the deck then two cards are selected - one is sealed in the card case the other is lost in the deck. The four Jacks now magically turn face down, one at a time before suddenly transforming into a single card! It’s the selection that was in the card case! The case is opened and inside we find the four Jacks with the second selection face down in between them!

BONUS 3. Hard Knocks - Two cards are selected and signed on the back before being lost back into the deck. With a snap,
the deck is spread and both selections are seen to be reversed! Each spectator holds onto their respective selection. Another snap and the signatures on the back transopse! This could be the most direct method EVER conceived for this type of effect!

You display two single and separate links of chain. One link is closed inside of your fist and the second link is simply "dipped" inside. When it is pulled out, the two links have joined together! A third link is brought forth and it too is instantly linked on to the others! Your hands are empty and the linked chain is immediately passed out for inspection! Easy To Do!Instant Reset!High Impact Magic!

CREEPS V2 is Ben Harris’ latest refinement to his best-seller from 1990. The original CREEPS was a hit in Harris’ worldwide lectures and a total sell-out whenever demonstrated.

Imagine the impact of a matchbox slowly, eerily, opening in a spectator’s own hand. JUST IMAGINE THE ASTONISHMENT. The spectator can both see and feel the box eerily opening in their hands.

You know that animation effects are powerful. You also know that anything performed in the spectator’s hands is strong. CREEPS V2 combines both these elements to create a truly spooky moment!

CREEPS V2 can be utilized with virtually any matchbox and is totally self-contained.

The box can even be examined after it eerily opens. Use CREEPS V2 to create a moment of wonder whenever you are performing with a box of matches or even with a "Card to Matchbox" effect.

So much fun to perform, you’ll be uses this all the time just to amuse yourself.

Complete with sample CREEPS V2 box photo-illustrated instructions additional supplies

"Calling Card is the best trick I have seen in a long time! I can't convey here the excitement and enthusiasm I feel for this effect. I told Rodger Lovins the creator of the effect that I thought his creation was a candidate for the 'Trick of the Year!' Since I have been in magic over 50 years, I am not easily impressed! I am impressed."
- John Rogers

by Juan Pablo

Another amazing idea by Juan Pablo. Juan Pablo the creative mind behind Roped, Tie Pin Juan, Bottle Production and many other original effects has done it again. The guy simply can’t stop developing outstanding magic!

Effect

A card is randomly selected and signed by a spectator. The magician asks that the card box be signed as well and returns the deck with the signed card to the box. Then the magician quickly covers the deck with a silk, pulls it back to reveal that the box is gone, leaving only the cards behind. Upon closer inspection the signed card has vanished too! The magician produces a card box from his jacket and it has the spectator's signature. Opening the box, a single card is found inside which happens to be the signed card!

Iguana is a new tool that will allow you to perform close-up, parlour or stage magic with a lot of different props.

Far more than a trick,
Way beyond a gimmick,
Much more than you can imagine.

With the Iguana one can perform the 'card in wallet', make a cigarette pack vanish, 'bill in lemon' and many many other amazing effects.

Comes complete with Iguana tool and instructional DVD.

Bounce-no-Bounce Balls
by Steve Spangler

Two rubber balls that look, feel and squeeze the same... but try bouncing them! One rebounds in a most lively manner while the other...well...it`s about as bounceless as a piece of clay! Highly visual, golf ball size, perfect for palming or sleeving and great for any size audience!

Imagine! At any time during your act, you demonstrate your incredible talent of spinning a card off the top of the deck, and having it shoot out towards the audience. When the card travels about ten feet, it does a 180 degree turn and returns to your hand! The audience will be picking their jaws up off the floors, and they will think you have supernatural powers! The little thread box contains 30 feet of invisible elastic thread that can stretch up to 5 times its length

Effect

Two of the popular rubber wrist bracelets are caused to link together while held by the spectator. Bands in their linked condition are completely clean. Easy to perform and always gets a great reaction!

Comes complete with 3 rubber wrist bracelets and photo-illustrated instruction sheet.

This effect is very well known with a coin, and in this amazing and popular effect the performer borrows a coin from a spectator. He then proceeds to bite a chunk out of the coin, chew it up a bit, and then spits it out. As the performer spits, the missing chunk of the coin is visibly restored. This effect is very similar in that the performer bites a piece from the key and visibly restores it!

For those of you hungry for original magic, with just a pinch of INSANITY, dinner is now served!

Start by displaying both sides of your credit card, then go crazy – literally BITE THE CORNER OFF your credit card! Show ‘em the bite mark and chew a bit, you don’t wanna choke yourself… But plastic tastes awful, doesn’t it? It’s bad for your health too, and we cannot be held responsible, so aim from a distance and SPIT IT BACK onto the card. In a blink of an eye the card will be FLAWLESSLY RESTORED to mint condition.

Now hand them the card to verify it’s as good as new.

Bite-Off Credit Card is not just an effect, it’s the top of the food chain!


Highly visual effect.
Original method.
Self-contained gimmick.
Quick and simple set-up.
Examinable before and after performance.
Illustrated instruction.

Billusion
by Jay Sankey

Effect

You ask for the loan of a bill. Any bill, any denomination. You display a small metal disc. You explain that the disc is made of an unidentifiable material that you found while visiting what was rumored to be the site of a UFO crash! (Or you can just say it`s a metal disc...) You begin to rub the disc across the bill, suddenly it appears to melt halfway into the bill! This is a startling and visual moment when it appears as if the effect was literally stopped in the middle of the magic! To finish, you cause the disc to actally pop right through the bill and into the spectator`s waiting hands. Detailed and Fully Illustrated Instructions! No Complex Moves or Involved Handling! Includes Custom Machined Gimmick! Everything Can Be Examined!

A bill of any denomination is borrowed from an audience member and they signed. The magician then folds the bill into a small bundle, places it under a handkerchief and gives everything to the owner of the bill to hold.

The magician then displays a locked brass tube which is given to another spectator. They examine the tube and certify that there's no way to open it up without first removing the lock.

The handkerchief is then whisked out the spectator's hand and their bill has completely vanished! The magician gives a small key to the spectator with the tube. They unlock it and inside find the signed bill!

Comes with large-capacity, high-quality brass tube (the fitting is invisible), padlock, velvet carrying bag and instructions.

Pouring a couple of breath mints onto someone's hand is one of the most natural social interactions known to modern man (and woman).

If you could then make of the breath mints VANISH out of her hand...then re-appear in your LIPS...well, then you'd just about have the most perfect ice breaker possible, not to mention appealing minty fresh breath!

This astonishing ice breaker is exactly what Paul Harris carries with him when he needs a super natural way to LipSmack a new friend.

She clearly sees two mints in her hand, you never touch the mints or her hand (even though you might want to) but when she opens her hand one mint has COMPLETELY VANISHED and suddenly re-appears between your curiously pursed lips (and yes, the mints can be eaten!)

All you need to LipSmack your audience is contained within a single ingeniously-gimmicked box of pocket-size breath mints.

LipSmacker! can be performed while sitting, standing, or in Paul's case, while aimlessly wandering around.

Resets in seconds, completely self-contained. No palming or sleights. Comes complete with a box of the finest quality industrial strength breath mints.

Paul Harris' LipSmacker is guaranteed to take your breath away!

Destined to become the new standard in bill switches!

Effect

A normal dollar bill is examined and displayed at your fingertips. Both hands are clearly seen to be empty. The bill is not folded up or covered in any way. The entire face of the dollar bill is in full view and stays in full view as it visibly morphs into a one hundred dollar bill. Both sides of the bill are clearly shown and the bill is handed out for immediate examination.

Entire face of the bill visibly changes while in full view with absolutely no cover.
Uses a normal bill which can also be borrowed.
Bill is completely examinable before and after the change.

Streamlined technique with completely natural and easy to do handling.
The Juan Hundred Dollar Bill Switch can be used for an endless variety of full view bill illusions. Several routines are also included.

INCLUDES FREE BONUS EFFECT: Dan White’s “Handy 500”

Four single dollar bills visibly transform into four one hundred dollar bills while firmly held in the spectator’s own hand! This routine alone is worth the price of the DVD.

Note: You must be familiar with “Hundy 500” or a similar multiple bill change to incorporate this incredible addition.

SHRINK YOUR VERY OWN PINKIE INTO A WEIRD STUMPY THING

Your naked pinkie finger is displayed in all its natural pinkie-ness. You gently grasp the tender pinkie with the thumb and forefinger of your other hand...and visibly compress your little finger into an incredibly teeny tiny pinkie...so it's about half the size of the original!

Both sides of the weird tiny stumpy thing are shown. The pint-size pinkie even wiggles a bit. It actually is your real finger...just a whole lot smaller.

You then stretch your dwarfed digit back to its original pinkie size...where it can be poked and prodded by disturbed passers-by.

No fake fingers
Both hands are seen empty before you start
Easy to do
Re-sets in seconds
Perform surrounded
Comes complete with shrinking finger kit that adapts the gimmick to your very own personal pinkie.

Dis Jointed is a revolutionary new method for "Shinko's classic Arm Twist" that turns the screws on the scream factor.

Dis Jointed gives you the freakish ability to twist your normal arm 360 degrees around with bone crunching sound. Then there's a heart stopping "pop" as you physically break your elbow at the joint! You then complete the dislocation by shoving your shoulder back into your arm socket. The freak-fest ends with one more 360 degree twist of your arm as your shocked spectators watch your bones snap back into place!

Dis Jointed can be performed by anybody with normal body parts.
No pre-set
No hand switches
Not misdirection
No pain
For the ultimate freak-out, perform Shinko's original arm twist first...and then drop them to their knees with Dis Jointed!

Some freaks are born. Others are made.

The best are...DIS JOINTED!

Everything About Deep Astonishment Has Been Improved, Simplified and Beautified.

You display a leather gypsy envelope and a beautiful old gypsy fortune telling deck. Each card has a fortune printed right on its face. You ask your "client" to utter the name of a special someone to create a relaxed fortune telling atmosphere. Let's say her special name is "Rose."

You then do a short three card reading for your client. The first card predicts good luck. The second card indicates an impending mystery. The third card hints that this impending lucky mystery might have something to do with an envelope. Could it be referring to the leather envelope lying on the table?

You open the leather envelope and remove a small packet of fortune telling cards. Their backs are a different color than the cards you've been using!

You slowly and cleanly deal the cards from the envelope on the table. The first card has a large hand drawn "R" on its back. The next card an "O". The nest an "S". The final card an "E"...spelling "Rose"!

No one says anything for a very long time. Then a single word escapes your client's lips. "HOW?"

NO Cue Cards!
NO Memorization
NO Mnemonics
NO Lead-in Effect!
NO Cards to Hold!
Totally Angle Proof!
Completely Streamlined!
Includes a custom-made leather envelope and a full-color gypsy fortune telling deck!

The magician displays a plastic pen, which is shown to be a solid, working pen. He chats a little about the people who are able to bend spoons and keys just by mental concentration. As he's talking, the performer rubs on the pen and it becomes flexible, bending like rubber. The pen is rubbed once again and becomes solid, and can be handed out to the audience for total examination!

Only One Pen Is Used
Nothing Is Added Or Taken Away
No Sleight-of-Hand
Working Pen
Totally Examinable

Aunt Mary's Terrible Secret
by David Williamson

A Professional Card Routine in Three Acts, created by David Williamson!

Every family has their secrets. The Williamson family has Aunt Mary. A respectable woman with a murky past, Aunt Mary has finally come clean. Revealed here for the first time as a professional card routine in three powerful acts, Aunt Mary's Terrible Secret is well within the reach of any performer. Two audience members are invited to play a simple color matching game for the chance to win fifty-two dollars. The cards are unprepared, the money is real and this incredible, easy-to-master routine builds to a devastating climax that will leave your audiences stunned. After Aunt Mary's Terrible Secret, you'll never look at little old ladies the same way again.

Here's what the experts are saying...

"Aunt Mary's Terrible Secret is too good to share. I have used this routine in paid performances for many years. I am as sorry to have to share it with the fraternity as I have been sorry to have to share it with the originator himself. Perhaps by buying this book, I will obtain retroactive permission for my past performances."
- Michael Weber

"Quite simply, this is a highly commercial routine. It combines money, gambling, audience participation, and uncanny control over the cards to produce a routine that audiences love and remember."
- Darwin Ortiz

"David has given the serious performer a truly masterful three-act professional performance piece that will leave his unwitting participants completely entertained and at a total loss as to any explanation."
- Roger Klause

Please note: This is a 44 page manuscript professionally produced by David Williamson and illustrated by Earle Oakes. It does not use gimmicked cards or gaffs of any kind. It is a complete and powerful gambling routine that is insanely easy to do!

Approximately 8" x 5" this book contains over 40 pages. Illustrated.
