The Pinned Card This effect is the brainchild of two brilliant French magicians, Damien Vappereau ad Jean Mark Sainclaire. The effect is easy to describe but not the impact which it makes which is truly stunning and will floor any audience. This is an effect for the professional or performing magician who will easily recoup the outlay for this trick. A card is chosen and signed by a spectator. After some magic by the performer, the card is suddenly found to be pinned onto the performer's tie! Medium difficulty. The ingenious but simple gimmick required to do this can also be used for two other effects detailed in the instructions. After the card has been chosen and signed then placed back in the deck, the deck is placed onto a table, flash paper is lit and the flash thrown at your tie where the card is suddenly found to be pinned. A final effect where the card is found pinned to a normal napkin. The latter effects require skilled handling. Comes with an instruction booklet plus the special gimmick system. Price £19 |

Himber Ring Himber Ring style
in the shape of a classic signet ring. This classic effect made famous
by Richard Himber allows you the luxury of a prop which you can wear quite
normally yet use for a series of bewildering impromptu effects either
surrounded by an audience or in cabaret. We offer this gold plated ring
plus a superb booklet by Patrick Page published exclusively by Davenports
which includes six great effects, fully illustrated. One effect is to
borrow some rings from the audience, have them inspected, place them on
a solid bar then cause one of the rings to fall off ... yet both ends
of the rod are held by a spectator! Another miracle is to cause a ring
to vanish mysteriously or to fall off a string and be handed back to you
by a spectator. The gimmick has astonished audiences for years and will
continue to do so for many more. Ideal for instant close-up miracles.
Comes complete with the exclusive booklet. Price: £45 |

Topit A Demon exclusive
so do beware of imitations. Although listed in the Close-Up section it
is an ideal prop for stage work. This wonderful prop was used brilliantly
by the late George Davenport, known affectionately as Gilly, and comes
complete with a comprehensive booklet by Pat Page illustrated by Ali Bongo.
This is a miracle and that is all! It's greatness lies in the fact that
you simply make things disappear from in front of your audiences eyes!
Isn't that what magicians are meant to do! You can do this surrounded
by your audience, at a bar, on stage ... simply anywhere anytime! You
can vanish anything from a pack of cards to a glass of whisky! Gilly Davenport
often made a tumbler full of rice disappear leaving the tumbler empty!
For the price it is a wonderful, wonderful prop that will last a lifetime
but beware - it does need practice! Price £11 |

Bottle Through Table An astonishing effect.
Whilst seated at a table, you show your audience a normal beer bottle,
or a soft drinks bottle, and have it passed round for examination. Whilst
this is happening you also show them a normal piece of newspaper and then
proceed to wrap the bottle up in the newspaper. When this is done to make
sure that your audience don't suspect any tricky business you actually
show that the bottle is still in the paper and it is clear that you are
holding the solid bottle. You now hold the bottle over the centre of the
table, you can even show your audience the top, and then suddenly you
smash the bottle into the table and it completely disappears. You immediately
reach under the table and pull out the bottle unharmed! It can be verified
that it is the same bottle that you started with if you so wish. This
brilliant effect comes with full instructions. For the serious Close-up
performer. Price £21 |

Ethereal Salt You show a salt shaker.
If you want you can pour a bit of real salt into a spectator's hand. Now
you pour all the salt into your fist and without any sleight - the salt
vanishes! You show the shaker to be absolutely empty and now cover it
up with a silk and in a few seconds you take off the silk to show that
the shaker is again full of salt. Does not come with a silk. Virtually
self-working. Price £15 |
