This change purse allows you to carry your
favorite coin trick in the front compartment while carrying your favorite currency trick in the back!

The spacious coin section of the wallet has enough room to carry up to silver dollar sized coins.

Show a BIC style lighter. Light the flame. As the flame flickers on top of the lighter, it suddenly starts to float up and away from your hand!

The flame floats up at least 8 inches!!

At your command, the flame returns to its position atop the lighter.

Floating Flame looks great; it's easy to do:there are virtually no angle problems; can use it in any parlour or stage show.

By taking an ordinary paper plate,
folding it in half, and cutting it in various places, you can produce an array of interesting head gear (paper plate hats!) for you audiance.

Effect: The magician explains that he and the spectator are going to take an imaginary trip to a casino. There they will play a game of roulette. The magician introduces the props for the game. A toy roulette wheel, the roulette game layout and an envelope with the magicians prediction. The performer explains he had a premanition of what is about to happen at the casino. He explains that in the envelope is his prediction of what is about to happen.
The performer explains (using the roulette layout), that you can usually bet on single numbers, groups of numbers, odd or even numbers, colors, etc. For our demonstration lets first pick a color to go with. To do this, the magician has the spectator cut a deck of cards to determine if the color will be black or red. The spectator cuts to a black card.

The performer than explains that he will spin the roulette wheel, the spectator will drop the ball onto the rotating wheel. The first black number that the ball lands on will be the winning number. If the ball lands on a red number or the green 0 number, we spin again. When the ball lands on the black number, the magician opens his prediction, and to the spectators suprise, the predicted number matches that of on the roulette wheel.

Effect: Magician displays a packet of 12 cards counting them one at a time onto a table. He then picks up the packet and asks a spectator to select
one of the cards. After the chosen card is noted, it is then placed back into the pack. The magician then "invisibly" removes one card
and places it onto the table.
He then recounts the packet of cards face up proving now that there are only 11 card and that the spectator's card is missing. He then squares up the cards and asks the spectator to replace the invisible card back into the pack. Upon doing so, the magician, holding the packet, waves his hand over the cards and to the astonishment of the spectator, his or her card is seen rising from the packet. The cards are now recounted to show that we are back with our original number of 12 cards!

Effect: Magician tells a story about the first time he / she were in a Las Vagas Gambling Casino. The magician then proceeds with a demonstration of his / her experience with the slot machines by using a packet of cards with pictures of items normally found in the window's of a slot machine (lemons, cherries, bells, etc.). After showing all of the picture cards, the performer then turns the packet over and lay's three cards face down (these three cards represent the three windows of the slot machine!) and proceeds to tell of his/her first encounter with the one armed bandits.

After demonstrating (with the use of the packet of cards in his hand) how he lost the first 2 time, he placed his last coin in the slot, pulled the handle, and three matching pictures came up...he WON! And to prove it, he now turns the 3 tabled cards over revealing the he won "CASH".

This packet trick requires very little in the way of slight of hand and is very easy to do.

This utility device pins to the inside of your jacket.

It will hold a single 3 1/2 inch Jumbo coin, 2 Half dollars or English Pennies, 4 half dollars overlapped, packet of cards, a mini deck of cards,sponge balls, etc. The possibilities are endless!
