CLOSE-UP MAGIC
One of the greatest tricks ever invented. The
performer shows two red queens face to face. These change to two black queens.
The performer says "May be you think I use four cards - well you are
right!" So saying he spreads out the cards on the table and sure enough
there are FOUR CARDS BUT THEY ARE THE FOUR ACES. The routine can now be carried
further if desired by producing the four queens from the pocket and two queens
and two aces are placed on the table with the remaining pair being placed in
the pocket. But then the cards on the table are shown to be all queens and the
cards in the pocket are all aces. (We do not supply the cards for the last part
of the routine, but they can be obtained by purchasing a red and a blue bicycle
deck from us Price £4.50 plus £1.00 postage.) The cards can be examined at the
end of the FULL routine. Personally we prefer to just present the first part of
the routine since the finale is an ABSOLUTE KNOCKOUT. Very highly recommended.

WILL THE CARDS MATCH
The performer shows 10 E.S.P. cards and one card
which has the message "WILL THE CARDS MATCH?" on it. He explains that
first he will have the 10 cards cut time and time again until the audience is
satisfied that they are well mixed. Then the cards are split into two heaps.
The audience will decide which heap will be used every time. The selected heap
is picked up and cards are dealt under each other to spell the word "WILL".
The audience may stop the performer whilst he is spelling and make him transfer
to the other heap. When the word has been spelled the top cards of each of the
two heaps are placed to one side. This is repeated with the words "The
Cards Match". The audience control which heap is used and may make the
performer transfer to the other heap during the spelling of each word. It
therefore seems impossible for the cards to be matched as everything is so fair
and above board. But when the pairs of cards are turned over one by one it is
seen that EVERY ONE OF THE FIVE PAIRS OF E.S.P. CARDS MATCH EACH OTHER. This is
an absolute miracle - every demonstration leads to a sale. NO SLEIGHT OF HAND
WHATSOEVER. No moves of any kind. The trick is in fact a cleverly disguised
mathematical principle which defies detection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

PENETRATION FRAME
A sheet of perspex in a metallic-plastic frame is
handed for examination. A playing card is placed on each side of the perspex. A
metal rod or pencil can now be pushed through the card, through the perspex and
out through the card on the other side!! To emphasize the penetration a ribbon
can be pushed through the hole and pulled back and forth. Finally the ribbon
and cards are removed but there is NO HOLE in the perspex!! The frame can again
be examined minutely. This is the largest selling penetration of all time.
Nicely made apparatus.

HINDU THREAD
A profusely illustrated booklet covering in great
detail this famous Broken and Restored Thread routine. The effect is - The
performer pulls a long length of cotton from a spool and breaks it into seven
or eight pieces. These are rolled into a ball and attached to another short
length of thread that was not rolled up like the others. Taking this short
piece of thread by both ends the performer pulls them and slowly the thread
unravels. COMPLETELY RESTORED!! Anyone may examine the restored thread but they
will find nothing. A most effective close-up trick using the sort of things
that are in every day use.

HYPNO – HEAT
A great "impromptu" trick ... and a great
"reputation maker". You borrow a piece of silver paper (from
cigarette packet, etc.), and ask spectator to tear it in half and to
freely choose either half. His chosen piece is screwed into a small
ball, which he holds in the palm of his hand. You tell him that your powers of
"suggestion" will make him imagine the paper is getting warm
.. then hot .. then HOTTER and HOTTER until it is too hot for him
to hold .. and it does, too! Ready to use anytime - anywhere.

OCCULT BOARD 
Your
prediction comes true! With this occult board in your possession, you can
become a su
per mind reader. Although the gimmick in
this beautiful piece of apparatus does the work for you, you will have your
audience believing you really can predict thoughts. Let a spectator mentally select any object such as a
make of car, an animal, a musical 
instrument - anything. You make a prediction and write it on the
upper section of the board and close the lid hiding it from view. The
spectator then writes down the object he thought of on the lower section of the
board. You continue with 
your predictions twice more. For instance you ask the
spectator to think of a letter of the alphabet or a suit in a deck of
cards. You always your prediction before he writes his
thoughts. Unbelievably, when the lids are opened all your
predictions are correct. This is a pocket size version of the
"Mental Epic" made of plastic. (Dimensions: 5" X
4")

MIRACLE FLOATING MATCH
This has to be one of the most incredible close-up items ever produced.
Three playing cards are dropped onto the table. A spectator is allowed to
choose a card. The card is picked up and held back upwards in one
hand. A borrowed matchstick is placed onto the card and the performer
makes a mystic pass around the match with one of the other cards.
Suddenly the match is seen to be floating about 1" above the card with no
visible means of support. The performer now passes another card right
underneath the floating match to prove that there is nothing whatsoever
supporting the floating match. The match floats back down onto the back
of the card and is removed. Now a rubber band is placed on the card and
this floats also. Again a card is passed right under the floating
rubber band. Next a cigarette is placed
on the card and this floats too. MAKE NO
MISTAKE THIS IS MIRACLE STUFF DONE UNDER THE NOSES OF THE AUDIENCE. In fact you can hold the card right under a
spectator’s nose whilst the match is floating and he will see ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING of how the levitation is achieved.

IMPOSSIBLE PENETRATION
CLARENCE MILLER
A wooden blade is removed from the simple wooden stock and freely
shown. The blade in replaced in the stock and a spectator is asked to place a
finger through the opening in the stock, just below the blades edge.
Quick as a wink, the solid wooden blade is plunged downward, through the
spectators finger! There’s a pause as the impossibility sinks in, then the
stock is split open and removed from around the blade. The solid wooden
blade is left wrapped 
around the spectator’s finger - a startling example of matter through
matter! Impossible penetration never fails to fool the pants off
anyone who has ever seen it. Even today, knowledgeable magicians who have
not seen this system are fooled. Pure, visual magic, plain and simple.

METALOGIC
Shades of Uri Geller! Here’s a metal bending effect that’s a mind
bender as well! An ordinary teaspoon is examined and marked by a
spectator. Then, in full view of the audience, the spoon bends and then
breaks. Now, for the magic - the spoon is VISIBLY restored and handed out
for immediate examination. The marks are still there, and may be
verified. For a killer finish, take back the spoon, hold it in one hand,
and without any cover, cause it to visibly, slowly bend. Then, still with no
cover, cause the spoon to straighten! The spoon is again tossed for
examination. They actually SEE the spoon bend and then restore!!
The handling is beautiful - no angles to worry about. And, it can be done
standing up!

ELMSLEY FOUR CARD TRICK
In our opinion this is one of the finest close-up card tricks ever
devised. The routine contains mystery, surprise and a terrific sock climax that
really stuns your audience. The performer shows four blue backed cards,
the faces of which are shown to be blank. When the cards are counted
again one of the faces now has a Joker picture on it!! The next part of
the routine is rather like Find the Lady, only in this case it is Find the
Joker. After the spectator’s first wrong guess the Joker is turned face
up “ so that it is easier to follow.” Even so the Joker is still elusive,
and vanishes completely! Again the cards are counted to show four blue
backed cards and then suddenly the missing Joker appears face up!
At this point the performer says that it should really have been easy for the
audience to follow the Joker for two reasons. First of all the Joker has
a picture on it and the other three cards are blank. Secondly the three
cards have blue backs, and here is the punch climax. The Joker is turned
over and its back is RED !! Immediately
the cards can be handed out for examination. No rough and smooth. Only
four cards used. No double backers or double facers. A truly
sensational trick that is always ready. Manuscript in booklet form and
necessary cards supplied. You will not
be able to do the trick in 5 minutes, but once you have mastered the handling
and the routine, you will have a trick that you will carry with you always.

FIVE CARD SHOCKER
The performer shows the faces of five cards all held
together in a line. A spectator is invited to THINK of one card. The cards are mixed up face down and one card
is placed into the performer’s pocket as a prediction. The remainder of the cards are placed face
down on the table. The spectator is
asked to name the card he thought of.
Let us say it was the five of Spades.
The performer pulls the prediction card from his pocket and it is the
Five of SPADES. However, now comes the
SHOCK FINALE. The four cards on the
table are turned over and they are the FOUR JACKS. All the cards may now be examined, there is
nothing to find. This is a very strong
effect utilising a clever principle and is VERY EASY TO PERFORM - in fact the
effect virtually works itself. The
effect is DIRECT and VISUALLY STUNNING …. It really will SHOCK YOUR AUDIENCE ….
How did three indifferent cards change to JACKS?????

HAUNTED DECK
A really weird card trick that will give the audience the impression
that they have hallucinations! Three
cards are freely selected and replaced in different parts of the pack. The cards are squared up and placed on the
palm of the performer’s hand.
Slowly and eerily a section of the pack moves forward and back leaving one card projecting. Then the pack moves from side to side, each time leaving a card behind.
The three cards are shown and sure enough they are the three selected cards!
Cards

An excellent trick pack for forcing a card onto a spectator. The faces
of the cards can be shown all different, but no matter which one the spectator
touches, that is the ‘force’ card.
An invaluable pack that every magician at all interested in card and mental magic ought to have.
No sleight of hand used. The pack does everything for you.
