Maxello Magic

Effect #1 The magician places a borrowed ring on top of an card case, which has previously been shown to be empty and then closed. He covers the ring with a card, flicks it with his finger and the ring magically penetrates the case, from which the magician then removes it.

Effect #2 The magician makes an imaginary toss of a borrowed ring into the card case, which has previously been shown to be empty and then closed. After the toss, the ring can be heard to rattle inside the case, and even appears from within the case when it is opened!

Perform with a marked coin!

Each Ring Case is hand made, including a specially prepared card case (without the deck of cards), a single card, and a ring in case you don't want to borrow one from the audience.

The apparatus supplied comprises of a set of six Stainless Steel (simulated) pocket watches, 5 cm in diameter, that can be used for production or a multiplication effect. The set of watches nest and lock, permitting you to handle the set as a single watch, and easily produce (or multiply) the other watches one at a time.

As a production item, every performer will have his individual preference for performing this. You could produce a watch from any production prop, display it as a single watch, then multiply it one at a time to six watches.

Or you could produce the first watch apparently from thin air, and then cause the watches to multiply, displaying them between your fingers as in the multiplying ball effect. You could place the watches upright against a prop, or hang them on an improvised stand, comprising of a piece of wood or board, with six nails spaced out to hang the watches on.

Designed from an old Thayer era prop in stainless steel, this will appeal to both collectors and performers.

One or more spectators are invited to participate in Project-X. he remembers any card he sees in the deck. Let's say the Four of Spades. The spectator himself now deals through the deck to find what where the card is located. Except, of course, the card isn't there! All he finds are the fifty-one other cards. No duplicates! Nothing added or taken away!

The performer now removes a prediction from an envelope that has been in view the whole time - it states, Somehow you thought of the Four of Spades! The only card that wasn't there! The spectator is speechless. Want to know why it's called Project-X? asks the performer. The spectator nods. The performer hands the envelope to the spectator. Inside is a single playing card with a big, black X on its back. It is the Four of Spades!

• No Rough and Smooth!
• No Sticky Cards!
• No Stop Force or Clicker Cards!
• Easy to do comes with special bicycle deck.

The control thread reel is ideal for slow motion animation effects.

A classic example of this is the Serpentine Silk effect, where a knot is tied in a large handkerchief, and the knot visibly unties, making for one of the most effective pieces of visual magic ever conceived.

This reel does not have the snap action of our other reels, and is not the best for say, having a silk jump from the floor into your hand, or pass through a Microphone Stand. But where control over the speed is required, as for the Serpentine Silk effect, these reels give you perfect control over the movement.

The control thread reel is made of brass, painted flesh color, and comes to you with instructions for use, along with the presentation for the routine above.

The Finest Finger Freakout to Date ... (or to just hold hands)

Titanas has created an exquisitely weird method for twisting your finger into a position that no finger has ever gone before!

There's NOTHING in your hands but your own skin. And yet...

You grasp one of your own fingers, muster up your courage, then give the finger a hard, forceful twist. There's an icky bone-popping snap and your freakishly twisted finger is now completely backwards! You've got to watch the demo to experience the full power of this moment.

IT'S A VISUAL PIECE OF STRANGE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.

To end the one-finger freak show, you untwist back to normal. And since there was never anything else in your hands; your audience is free to poke and prod any of your fingers as they commune with the mystery.

• EASY AND PAINLESS
• NO PALMING, NO PULLS, NOTHING TO GET RID OF.
• YOU END COMPLETELY CLEAN.
• WORKS WITH SMALL AND LARGE FINGERS OF ANY SKIN TONE.
• PRACTICAL AND ANGLE PROOF FOR ALL NORMAL...
• AND MOST ABNORMAL SITUATIONS.

Titanas' improbably twisted method for this is truly a thing of freaky beauty. Complete with custom gimmick engineered by Mark Allen and DVD.
