Maxello Magic

There have been many methods, all with strengths and weaknesses but with this model all the drawbacks are eliminated.

It is very easy to use and portable. You can use any assistant from the audience or your own assistant.

After the person lies down on a table, their middle is covered with a frame. You now start a menacing jigsaw, saw a few pieces of wood and then run it, visibly through the frame and her/his body.

If you use a person from the audience they will wonder if they survived. With the noise and excitement of this forceful effect, they aren't sure until it is over.

You may perform this illusion under all conditions, up close and surrounded. Everything you need is included except the volunteer.

This model has some definite improvements. First of all it is laminated with Formica and built much stronger than any model on the market today. The saw does not have to be fumbled with to trigger the gimmick.

The resetting is much easier. I can't tell you how, without exposing the secret but is a definite improvement over the other models now available.

You can build a reputation with this deceptive illusion, one of the best ever created.

NB! This is the European version with 230V 50Hz.

He shows the halves of two different bumper stickers saying, If you cut them in half and mismatch them, the results can be interesting. (The audience will laugh at a couple of the combinations, we designed them for that purpose.)

Placing a business envelope in full view, he continues, There are halves of two different bumper suckers in here (they can be seen through the address window) that usually combine with others to get an amusing reaction.

One of you will choose another half from these, the performer continues, spreading the stack of severed stickers face up for a nearby participant. As you can see, there are more than two dozen random possibilities. Which one would you like.

After the helper freely chooses one of the halves the Mentalist instructs, That was an intentional choice, influenced perhaps by color or subject matter. Next, you will select one unseen.

He turns the stack of half-stickers face down and reminds, Because it's selected blindly, and randomly, it will be a surprise for both of us

I'll keep you in suspense a moment longer, remarks the performer, as he withdraws one of the sticker-halves from the envelope (with its back toward the audience) to align with the unseen sticker-half.

This combination doesn't work, the performer informs, tucking it back in the envelope and pulling out the other one inside. Hopefully this combination will be better. He aligns it with the randomly selected half, smiles, and tucks the pair partially in his breast pocket, still (and always) fully visible to the audience.

Let's try the half sticker you picked earlier, suggests the Mentalist, reaching for the participant's piece. He aligns it with the remaining half from the envelope and his eyebrows go up. Well, this is weird, remarks the entertainer. He turns them around: they are opposite ends of the same bumper sticker!

But I promised you something funny, reminds the Mentalist, removing the pair of half-stickers from his breast pocket. And this is funny! He holds them up for everyone to see; the second pair is also a perfect match!

You get everything you need to perform this outstanding routine, bumper stickers, an ungimmicked window envelope, a special something and instructions. The bumper stickers are printed on glossy card stock and pre-cut into halves. There is a simple, one-time setup task that takes ten minutes or less and you're good to go for years to come.

Then the card is placed into the center of the deck and the spectator shuffles it. The magician then claims that with in 2 attempts, he can find the selected card, in fact, the magician is so confident that he bets $5 if the card is not found. Placing his wager of a $5 bill under his shoe, where it is safe and visible, the magician fans the deck and takes his first attempt to find the card. The revealed card is not the spectator's selection! One more incorrect guess and the spectator wins the bet! The magician using his last and final attempt pulls from the deck...a folded $5 bill! Since the magician's wager ended up where the selected card was in the deck, then the selected card should be where the bill was. Sure enough, there is now a face down card under the magician's shoe, picking it up and turning it over reveals the spectator's selected card and the magician wins the bet! Includes a US bill based gimmick and video instructions on a Video CD (VCD). NOTE: VCD may not play in some home DVD players.
