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.

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
and full instructions supplied.
PRICE £8.50 PLUS £1.00 POST AND PACKING
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.
