Maxello Magic

In search of the Giant Snow Monster'a great sucker trick with a surprise punch! You show five cards blank on both sides (snow) and a sixth card with a picture of a strange footprint Bigfoot! The Bigfoot card is mixed in with the blanks and the spectator tries to track down Bigfoot by selecting a card. The chosen card is turned over and sure enough, he's found Bigfoot! Amazing! The spectator tries again, and you triumphantly show the face of the selected card stating that the spectator has again tracked down Bigfoot!! However, the spectator points out that it is a blank card! I don't know how you missed. You must have gone snow-blind! you say as you show the rest of the packet is now all Bigfoot cards! Each trick comes with specially printed, poker-size cards and illustrated instructions.

This gem of an idea now lies buried on page 76 of Edwin's Magic Vol 2. since Edwin (Hooper) and his Supreme Magic Co. are no more.

It has all the ingredients of the best of Magic effects, it is extremely simple and fool proof to perform, very effective for any audience with the appropriate presentation, and highly versatile, allowing the performer to use it for almost any type of show, from Children's Birthday Party Shows. to Comedy effects, or Mental effects.

As Edwin says, I had great fun in working out this little effect. I believe it is the most commercial Just Chance trick that I ever sold as a dealer.

There are three clear tumblers covered by three different colored covers in a row. Two spectators select two of the tumblers freely (absolutely no force, and they can change their minds as often as they wish), leaving you with the third. They get empty tumblers - you get one filled with currency bills or the Jackpot.

Or for a Birthday party, three kids compete, and the birthday kid gets the chocolate bar, while the other two get empty tumblers. Once you are familiar with the working, you will discover several presentations, since you can have a tumbler full or empty entirely under your control. You can even turn the tables, and have two kids discover candy bags with congratulatory messages in their tumblers, while you get a consolation note!

We supply you the three gimmicked velvet bags in three different colors, responsible for the effect. In addition you will require three ordinary clear glass or plastic tumblers that will fit under the bags - (most common ones will serve the purpose). Supplied with the special bags, and instructions.

Bring out a deck of Bicycle cards and remove it from its box. Spread the cards on the table as you ask, "Did anyone notice that I removed these cards from a tiny box" To everyone's surprise you are now holding a miniature Bicycle card box, the poker-sized box is completely gone!

Scoop up the deck as you explain, "There's no way this deck could fit inside that box - unless the cards were tiny, too." Spread the cards on the table and now they too have shrunken to miniature Bicycle cards!

Remove a card from the spread and place it aside. Say, "I can change them back, but it happens quickly so watch closely." Scoop up the deck and give it a shake - it grows back to poker size right before everyone's eyes!

Point to the miniature card that you placed aside and say, "Now for the last one..." Wave your hand and it instantly expands to poker size!

The Amazing Shrinking Deck is the perfect opening card trick because you can immediately use the deck for other card tricks. Why? Because at the conclusion you're left with an ordinary deck of Bicycle cards!

Witness the Impossible.

You now hold in your hands, an original idea from Lee Asher. He performs his brand of magic across the world, leaving audiences speechless. Witness has never before been released on DVD, until now.

After having a card selected, your spectator holds a ziplock bag with a Joker sealed inside. The Joker, held securely between the spectator's palms, transforms into the selection! Never once is the bag opened. Everything can be handed out for examination.

Invaluable instruction from a professional like Lee Asher allows you to speed up the learning process. Designed with real world conditions in mind, after watching this DVD, you'll perform WITNESS in no time.

The effect requires no gimmicks and features a simplified, tried and tested handling. The DVD is approximately 21 minutes, including full length street performances and extensive instruction on all aspects of the Witness routine.

Witness (formerly known as Deucebag) has been the signature effect in Lee's sold-out lectures around the world for audiences all the way from Singapore to Paris to Eugene, Oregon for over a decade. This is the first time that this effect has been taught on video. Shot in High Definition on the streets of Las Vegas.
