Classic Magic Wands
These very elegant wands are hand turned and stained one at a time. They are made from either Birch or Cherry wood. The look of these hand crafted wands can't be beat.
(We can even custom turn a pattern for you- call for details) $35 each
Stamp of Approval +
This is simple straight forward magic that is great for a beginner. A card is chosen and lost in the deck. You explain that you used to work as a magic trick inspector. If a trick didn’t work you would have to stamp it rejected. With that you shuffle and reveal their card. You’re wrong! Therefore you must reject this trick. You stamp the deck with your reject stamp and stuck to the bottom is the chosen card.
All you need to do is control a chosen card first or second from the top. You get the hand assembled wooden stamp (2” x 4” base) with turned wooden handle, the routine and secrets for $6.00
Vanishing Half
This is a classic effect where a half dollar is dropped into a glass of water and just vanishes. You get the glass, gimmick, and method to do a great trick. You supply a handkerchief and the water for the glass. $4.00
Vanishing Wand
Wrap a classic black and white wand in newspaper with the tip sticking out. Crumple the paper to vanish the wand. They see the tip up until the very last second. You get the gimmick and the method. You need a place to “ditch” the wand like a top-it or table well. $4.00
Almost Gone
If you do jumbo coins this is a winner. In fact, its a winner even if you don’t. You can vanish a jumbo coin but “slowly” a bit at a time. First just the metal... you are left with a clear coin. Then you vanish that coin. Or do a silver extraction with a jumbo coin, or do the vanishing jumbo coin with it, all you need is a glass big enough to hold it. (try a bowl...) You get the gimmick and all these ideas for $4.00
Copy Card
The only packet trick I ever created! A selected card is copied first front leaving a blank back on the copy. Then you complete the job by copying the back. At the end you can hand out the original and the copy. (not the deck though...) $5.00
X-ray Card+
A card is selected and lost in the deck. After your attempts to find it fail you take out your portable x-ray machine! You proceed to take an x-ray of the deck to find the selected card. Count to ten, open the film packet and show the x-ray of the selected card.
This prop is hand made of pine with basic wiring to allow the small light to go on "exposing the film" You supply the cards, and the pen light battery. The film packet is a small envelope with a real x-ray in it of a playing card. Sorry, we choose the card. $30.00
X-ray alone $7.00
Dental Exam +
After a card is chosen and lost in the deck, explain that you are going to find the card just like your dentist found the tooth that was bothering you. Take out dental tools and proceed to give the deck an exam. On the way to the selected card you find cards with loose fillings, and cavities. Finally you arrive at the chosen card. You get two real dental instruments (mirror and pick) and all the gimmicked cards $25.00
(Or tell them you can’t find the card and use your x-ray machine to find it...see above)
I’m thinking of a card... +
After having a card selected and lost in the deck you say,"I couldn’t stop thinking of your card, so I went to have my head examined" Show a real x-ray of a human skull and the brain cavity they will see the image of their selected card. Sorry, we choose the card.$30.00

Shell Game South of the Border
The old shell game with a twist. Instead of three shells, it three tiny sombreros, and three orange pompoms. The same moves are possible as the original shell game but some extras can be added because of the wide rims of the sombreros. Same old stuff with new props and stories. You need to know all the moves already, I don’t teach the moves in the directions. $5.00
Chameleon Silk gimmick
This is a Lucite 3/4" diameter approx. 2" long tube pinched at the end. Its painted with light flesh tone paint and handles like a traditional die tube, only one way though. Otherwise all the moves will work . Its a larger version of that small one you bought from Tenyo many years ago, but this one holds a much bigger silk. $4.00
Magician’s Wax
This wax is perfect for almost all effects that require wax (accept card on ceiling). Its not too sticky and its not to dry. There are many great things you can do with a simple 1mm sq. piece of wax. I have it in blue and red to match any color card back. I also have good old clear wax. (its the same wax used in “Stamp of Approval”) It comes packed in a 1” x 1” plastic box to keep the lint away $2.00
Wisdom Teeth +
All magicians will tell you that they learned a lot of what they know from those who came before them. This effect is a tribute to this concept. Have a card chosen and lost in the deck. Take out a small felt bag with three teeth in it. “these are the wisdom teeth of great magicians” Using these teeth and the wisdom within you divine the lost card.$7.00
Finger Printed +
Just as police use psychics and magic to catch crooks, you will use criminology to catch the lost card. Have a card selected, fondled. and lost in the deck. After dusting the deck for finger prints. As you spread the face down deck, one card is covered with finger prints both back and front. Its the selected card. You get the card, a small brush and the directions. $6.00
Miser’s Dream Bucket
I only have two of these champagne buckets left. They are made by the champagne company to supply to restaurants. If you do the miser’s dream, or a champagne bucket fits the “look” of your act, they are great. $18.00 ea.
Monster thimbles
You’ve all seen these small rubber finger monsters that kids just love. They love them even more when they appear and disappear in front of their eyes. These finger puppets are perfect for doing thimble moves. They come in three colors, red blue, and yellow so you can get a few and do the old color changing monster routine. Please specify color $1.00 ea.
Stress Loads
I needed a finale to an cup and ball routine with an environmental theme. These "stress busters" were perfect. These are 13/4” diameter squeeze globes that fit perfectly under most cups, won’t talk with the cups, and can be compressed easily. You will feel like the Atlas wielding these final loads at the end of your routine. $5.00 ea.
Please pass the peas...
There are many close-up effects that involve peas. The pea can, shell game, etc. use these peas. Mine are small green and rubber, just what you’d expect them to be. For those who really want to know, they are made of polyvinylsiloxane rubber and hand rolled into balls as the rubber sets. $1.00 each pea
P.K. Matches
Put simply, these are shimmed matches. Regular paper matches with a layer of of steel in them. Great for any effect that uses a magnet to move stuff, or vanish stuff. If you do any P.K. magic you know all about these and how cool they look standing up under a glass. $2.00 ea
The Cancun Card +
This is a card revelation I thought of while at a bar in Cancun Mexico. I started to do one effect and before I could finish, this idea hit me and I tried it. The result is a card revelation that can be played with a surprise ending patter, a mystical fortune telling patter, or just a cool way of revealing a “selected” card. Comes with two sets of tiny paper cards, and the instructions for the “secret” method. $4.00
Trapped ! +
This is a great card revelation where you place a mouse trap with a slab of cheese in it under your table and a spectator’s selected card ends up trapped in the mouse trap under the cheese. You get the rat trap (a real one so watch your fingers) the cheese and the method for this cute low-tech effect. $10.00
Contact Lense Gag
This is a great gag for any time in your show either close-up or stage. While speaking your eye begins to twitch. Reach into your pocket and take out your hankerchief to rub your eye. As you do so from under the hankerchief you pull a “contact lense” about 10x large than your eye. Exclaim," oh I lost my contact lense!" This gets a great laugh every time. You get one real glass curved “contact lense” shaped piece of glass approx. 3” in diameter. $6.00

THE CHAIR.....A wonderfully versitile prop....
The use of a chair as a utility prop on stage is as old as the hills! Chairs have been used to hold deck switching apparatus, coin loads, card loads, billard ball loads etc. Well now you can have all of that in ONE CHAIR. “THE CHAIR” is a chair that has been gimmicked to the hilt! Along the ridge on the back is housed a deck switching servante, two coin catchers, and two ball holders. That’s standard...but if you need something else, just call and I can customize the gimmicks for you. So if you need just a servante, or three coin catchers and no ball holders, let me know...Each chair is custome made as the order comes in, so there are no rush orders.
Basic chair as described above $200, special orders call for price.
