Coffee Vase

Excellent condition

Original Box

(supreme Magic )

 The Coffee Vase is a classic prop, originally designed to change Coffee Beans to edible liquid Coffee. It is a very versatile prop, for changing solid or liquid items. This is different to the Reception apparatus, comprising of a cylindrical Vase, and a short plug type cover. It will allow you to change or transform Liquids, Silks, Ribbons, Spring Flowers, Confetti, Cotton Wool etc. An effect along the lines of the original from which the prop gets it's name is to put some coffee beans and white cotton wool (to represent milk) in to the apparatus. These are transformed into a couple of cups of hot coffee for your audience. A variation of the above would be put in tea bags and cotton wool, and produce a potable cup of tea. Our instructions give many other presentation ideas - for example:
After the Milk magazine effect, pour out milk in to the apparatus. Transform this into several white silks, which you use for a follow up silk effect like silk dying.
Pour coloured confetti into the apparatus, and transform it into multi colour tissue paper garlands, or a Ribbon Fountain. This is a very appealing presentation, with a big visual impact.
Transform white confetti to edible puffed rice or Pop Corn.
Made in sparkling Stainless Steel, to give you a highly durable prop, and safely hold liquids you can consume, this item measures 7 1/2 inch in height and 2 3/4 inch in diameter and comes to you complete with instructions and many ideas for its use

ENCHANTED NECKLACE

This is a visual effect, which can also be presented to an interesting story line. The performer displays several large loose beads, which can be examined.  These are dropped one at a time into a clear cylinder, which can also be examined.  Performer makes a magic pass, and tosses the beads out of the tube, and they are found to be strung together in a necklace. 
A possible story line for a general show would go as follows.  These were a magic necklace, belonging to a beautiful princess, and as long as she wore the necklace, she was the most beautiful princess in the world.  Then a wicked witch broke the necklace, and the princess started to wither away.  Many people tried to put the necklace together, but could not do so.  Then you "the handsome magician" came along, and magically restored the necklace, and with it the princess's beauty... 
The Enchanted Necklace is a extremely clever mechanical effect, easy to perform, and comes to you complete with the large colored beads, clear perspex tube, and full working instructions

Circus Plumes

By Supreme Magic

Effect; Magician displays beautiful, artistically designed cut-out of a horse’s head. Made from wood this piece of apparatus folds flat, yet when it is on your table it stands some 20” high and 17” across. The horse is in black and white, handsomely lacquered, and in true circus horse tradition sports three plumes of feathers. The plumes are yellow and up another 7” or so in height.

Now the magician, having shown his hands empty and placed the apparatus in position, reaches out and suddenly a beautiful purple silk appears at his finger tips, he then takes the first yellow plume from the horse and passes the purple silk over it and it miraculously changes the yellow plume to purple. The other two plumes are changed the same way to red and green.

 You can then make all the silks join together when thrown in the air.

 The colour changes are automatic, you do not add or take away anything.  Brilliant kids magic

"S Witch Craft

By Arthur Emmerson

 

 

Erased    by Mathieu Bich   Good Condition

The magician has a spectator select and sign a card on the face. He/she explains that they will slice through the center of the card so that he/she can show the "inside" of the selection. After a magic gesture, the selection splits in half, leaving a card signed on the face with a blank back, and a card with a blank face and a normal back. The magician makes an attempt at restoring the card by putting it back together with red tape. Realizing that it is unimpressive to the spectators, he/she offers to try something astounding. he/she performs a magical gesture, then removes the tape from the card, revealing that it is whole again. When the spectator turns over their selection, the face of the selection is gone, but his/her signature remains.

The basis of this method is a concept that allows you to make a signed card become blank, even allowing the spectator to check the face when he/she signs it. This principle opens itself up to numerous applications.

The Five Star Packets.

Great Informative manuscript from supreme magic.

Effect 1

A card is selected and retained by a spectator until the conclusion. To the accompaniment of a following line of patter, The Magician folds up a pice of paper and cuts two snips only. Unfolding the same it is seen that he has thus correctly disclosed the chosen card, as the cut-out paper represents the chosen pip card held by the spectator

Effect 2: Comedy Neck ties Routine: a very clever routine for comedy performers.

Effect 3: Squeeze Coin Routine - You Borrow a small plate and a half dollar or similar size coin. Both Hands are shown DEFINITELY empty and you then start bouncing the coin on the plate in an effort to crack the plate. Not succeeding, you pick up the coin, squeeze it and pour out onto the plate instead...a quarter, two dimes and a nickel; these are all returned to the donor in exchange for his half dollar. Fast Surprising and goes over very well any were...

Effect 4:  Fly to – Card   : A freely selected card is vanished from a borrowed deck and found at a pre- determined page in an unprepared book chosen by the audience and held by a spectator. No Difficult Slights and may be performed impromptu.

Very Surprising and Effective.

Effect 5: Improved Ropes thru Neck: Two ropes are passed around the neck and tied in front then apparently, pulled right through the neck and immediately handed out for examination with loops and the knots intact 

The improved neck through ropes Section is worth the price alone in my opinion

Floating Match ,Book &deck of cards

Once in several years a trick comes along which is revolutionary in its very concept, and takes the Magic world by storm.  It is a trick which is immediately copied by several dealers, and sells to every magician who sees it.  The Floating Match, originally credited to Ben Harris of Australia is such a trick. The effect is so uncanny, you won't believe it, even when you do it.

In effect the magician shows a playing card, and places it on the palm of his hand.  A spectator is invited to remove a Matchstick from his Match box, and lay it across the Card. The performer makes a Magic pass, and the Matchstick levitates right off the Card, floating about an inch over the surface of the Card. Another Card is now placed under the Match, proving there are no supports holding it up.  Then the Match floats down, on the surface of the Card, and can be immediately handed back to the person who loaned it. And the Card and your hand can be freely shown on all sides. - there is nothing to conceal. The best part of this trick is that you have virtually nothing to do. Open the apparatus, follow the instructions, and you will fool yourself.  In fact, if our instructions did not tell you how this works, you would probably fool yourself the first time you did this
