One Handed Shrinking Card Case

By John Cornelius. Like most of his effects it is quick but very powerful in effect. You remove a deck of cards from its case, and the case immediately shrinks to half its size! There is no sleight of hand. With practice however you can perform this with one hand. This new improved version is now in plastic and allows easier handling than previous models. It is a cross between the original shrinking card case and an idea by Randal Whitworth. The case is Bicycle Deck case - does not come with the cards. Price £9

	One Handed Shrinking Card Case By John Cornelius. Like most of his effects it is quick but very powerful in effect.

	Morlas Car A card is freely chosen by a spectator from a face down deck of cards and the card is then cut into the middle of the deck. You have now placed an unknown card into the middle of a deck. The deck is now spread out evenly on a table in a slight half circle - still face down. You now produce a little car. The car is made of clear acrylic material so it can be seen that there is nothing special about it. However this is a magical car for it has the power to find the spectator's card. You can run the car forwards and backwards to show that it is quite normal and it can by handed out for inspection and even let the spectators play with it. While this is going on you can straighten the line of cards and even discard a few cards which you think may be surplus, leaving about 12 or so cards on the table. You now put the car down at the head of the column of cards and move it over the cards as if it is searching for the chosen card. After doing this a few times you now invite the spectator to place his finger on top of the car and push it along the line of cards. Suddenly the car stops over a card. You turn over all the remaining cards on the table and ask the spectator if any of those cards were his chosen card. It is not there. When the card under the car is finally turned over it is seen to be the chosen card. The working of the car is very easy and requires little practice. However the choosing of the card is important and either you will have you own method or the instructions suggest a simple method. The effect is truly stunning. There are a few pirate Morlas Cars on the market but the one we offer is from the original source and is superbly engineered and vastly superior to imitations. Price £49
	Dots Impossible Six cards are placed face-down on the table. A spectator chooses any card and when he turns the card over, it has a red dot, the remaining cards are shown to have blue dot. It does not matter which card is selected, it is always the odd colour. Not Self-Working but easy do do and the sleight involved is fully explained. Ideal for the beginner but just as effective in the hands of a pro. Price £3.50
	Dots Incredible Three cards with blue dots and three cards with red dots are freely shown. One blue card is placed between two reds and one red dot card is placed between two blues. With no tricky moves the red cards are back together and the blue cards are also back together. The trick is repeated with four cards and then with only two cards yet each time the spectators are completely baffled. Easy to do and no sleights are involved. Price £3.50
	Boy Meets Girl Card tricks for people who do not like card tricks! A selection of seven effects with 26 specially printed cards using symbols that represent "girls" and those that represent "boys". The idea by cartoonist-magician Kirk Stiles uses methods and ideas devised by great magicians like Ted Anneman, Martin Gardner, Norman Gilbreath, Max Holden, Bob Hummer, Stewart James, Jay Marshal and the like. The cards come in a little plastics case and the 16 page booklet of instructions are clear and easy to follow. Good value and not difficult. Price £6.50
	Presto Printo This is an improvement on Duvivier's sensational card effect "Printing" which was from the original "Wild Card" by Peter Kane. The effect at its most basic is that cards which are blank on both sides become magically printed in a very bizarre manor. This is a complete and spellbinding routine. Daryl has improved the original versions by using ordinary Bicycle card stock. You also begin with a packet of blank card stock. The card that is duplicated is apparently selected at random from an ordinary pack of cards would give s the illusion that the process would have worked no matter what card was selected. You will receive a complete packet of special cards, 11 cards in all. The instructions are detailed and illustrated and there are some knowledgeable and expert advice given on how to extend this brilliant routine. Basic card skills are required and this would suit an working professional or keen amateur. Price £22
	Daryl's Cardboard Chameleons The faces and backs of six ungimmicked cards are seen to continuously change colour and value in virtually every possible combination. The patter suggests that these are "Cardboard chameleons and they can disguise themselves at will by absorbing their surroundings". This was a feature routine in the act which won Daryl the First place award at the 1982 World Congress of Magic (F.I.S.M.). Only six ungimmicked cards are used, you finish, reset and everything can be examined. This routine is not easy to do and it will require a lot of practice. Not suitable for the beginner. Price £7
	Daryl's Fiedler's Flier A selected card vanishes from a deck held in the spectator's hands and appears in the card box ... or virtually anywhere you desire! An easy to do miracle. You will need to supply a matching Bicycle Poker sized deck. Price £5
