Here are some effects just for beginners...

HIPPITY HOP HARES

Ten cards, five with red outlined hares and five with black outlined hares are separated into two piles. One of each are turned face up and placed above the piles. No matter how the piles or leader cards are switched around, the other cards still match the leader cards. No difficult sleights. This retails for $2.00, OUR PRICE is $1.80

SIX CARD REPEAT

This effect is a classic in which the magi counts six cards, discards three and yet still has six. This continues several times, yet each time the magi still ends up with six cards. Retails for $4.00, OUR PRICE: $3.50.

ZONE INFINITY

A quarter is placed in a holder on a keychain which is then slid inside a case. The key on the chain then penetrates the quarter. Solid thru Solid! A fantastic effect by Tenyo, and even better it works automatically! Retail Price is $16.00, OUR PRICE is $13.00.

HAUNTED KEY

The old chestnut where the skeleton key turns over in the hand. Still an impressive effect, and works without threads, wires, magnets or attachments of any kind. Possible to do in spectator's hand. Beautiful looking key which is fully examinable. Retail price is $7.00, OUR PRICE is $5.75.

PHANTOMA

A ghost is captured and placed in an empty house which begins to rattle. After the ghost is captured and released a few times, the magi builds a ghost trap out of handkerchief and places the ghost in it. The handkerchief becomes animated until the ghost returns to the house. Finally, the ghost is released from the house and disappears. This is a great routine, and an ingenius way to apply an existing principle in a new way. Easy to do. This is a steal at $18.75, but OUR PRICE is $16.50.

FORTUNE TELLING FISH (JUMBO)

These timeless classic fish are great giveaways and promotional devices. This is a cellophane fish in a plastic sleeve. Slide the fish out and place on the spectator's hand. It's movement provides the spectator's fortune. This is a great one. Retail price is 25 cents each or 5 for one dollar.

PROFESSOR'S NIGHTMARE (DELUXE)

This is a nice version of the professor's nightmare with knit ropes that appear to be oversize shoelaces. The effect is that three ropes which are different lengths are magically stretched to be the same length and then transform back to the original sizes. Retails for $6.50, OUR PRICE is $5.25.

RAINBOW RIOT

A multi colored piece of rope is displayed with a knot in each color. The magi causes the knots to change colors on the rope and then finally disappear after which all may be examined. An ingenius effect. Retails for $7.00, OUR PRICE is $6.00.

HYRUM THE HILARIOUS HAUNTED HANK

A handkerchief folded into a square packet is placed on the table and as the magician concentrates "Hyrum" appears in the center of the handkerchief as the center rises and bobs around. The handkerchief can immediately be shown empty and is instantly reset. Retails for $6.00, OUR PRICE is $5.00.

AMAZING MAGIC TRICKS WITH EVERYDAY OBJECTS

Make a borrowed ring penetrate on and off a shoelace, cause a pencil to cling to your fingers, cut a string in pieces and instantly restore it...these are some of the effects which you will learn with this video aimed at the beginner. Video retails for $10.00, get it from us for only $8.00.
