Maxello Magic

Another highly visual and easy to perform effect from children's entertainer Sammy Patrick Smith...

The magician displays a picture book of people at their different jobs-a doctor, chef, plumber, police officer, welder, fire fighter, artist, farmer, etc. A spectator freely selects one picture, let's say a firefighter. A prediction envelope-in full view the whole time-is now opened. "And here is my prediction, the fire fighter-when he was just a baby!" The performer removes a picture of an infant in a baby bonnet! (Groans and laughs from the audience.) "Well, he knew from the very beginning what he wanted to be when he grew up, and of of course, he decided to become ..a fire fighter." The picture is turned around, it's a firefighter!

Large, clear drawings make this great even for large audiences. Comes complete.

Great new style! This set can be shown on both sides! yes that's right you can show both sides of the coins as you make them appear! Get them before they disappear.

Part 1: The magician shows two chinese coins (regular size) and says that in China "less is more". He puts one of the coins in his pocket, clearly leaving only one coin in his hand; but when he asks how many coins are left and spectators answer "one", he opens it and there are three coins! He repeats the action, putting one of the three coins in the pocket, leaving two in his hands but when spectators say "two" he can show there are now four coins! Very visual effect. In the end the four coins can be examined.

Part 2: The magician shows two jokers, both sides, and his hands completely empty. The two cards are put together face to face and a jumbo chinese coin appears from in between them. This is repeated three times causing three more jumbo coins to appear from nowhere, always showing the cards both sides and the hands empty. All four coins can be shown both sides. The clear conditions in which this effect takes place makes it a miracle.

A Coca-Cola Bottle full of liquid is displayed. The magician claims he will make it disappear. The bottle is covered with a piece of paper rolled into a cylinder. Since the cylinder is only half the height of the bottle, the audiences can clearly see the lower half of the bottle. Everything is covered with a handkerchief. He claims that the bottle will now disappear. When the handkerchief is removed, the bottle and the cylinder are still visible.

Performer claims he will vanish the bottle visibly. He pushes the cylinder down over the bottle making the bottle shrink, till it is completely covered by the cylinder! The cylinder is then turned, allowing the audience to see right through it! Comes complete with the specially made bottle that holds the liquid, the cylinder, a large handkerchief and illustrated instructions.

This prop has been described by Professor Hoffmann on page 130 of his Modern Magic, making it over a dozen decades old. But the title of the book is not a misnomer, and the item is as effective today as it was over a century ago. It has an element of surprise and audience participation that is bound to get a reaction, even from people bored with card tricks.

Three cards are selected from a deck of cards. The cards are returned to the deck. The deck is shuffled and placed in an attractive wood houlette. You pick up the houlette and walk into the audience. Within inches of the audience, you ask someone to blow on the box, apparently to make the selected cards rise. But it seems they blew too hard! Instantly the three chosen cards fly out of the box and flutter to the stage.

No threads, no hook up. No motors, no sand. This is an intriguing and entertaining prop for your act. (If you have the book, you can check it out) We have produced this ancient effect as a quality prop, in wood, with inlay trimmings, and durably polished. A prop the Professor would have approved of. It comes complete with instructions - you use your own deck of cards.
