NEWEST GENERAL MAGIC
|
RUN RABBIT RUN
Click image to enlarge
Professional model – 15x6 inch all wood construction.
Here is the classic children magic effect where the kids get a chance to yell and scream as you have the illusive rabbit vanishing (?) from his hutch .
After poking his head out the side and having his ears running from side to side, he really does vanish to reappear anywhere the magician chooses. Better
than a Die Box. Abbott mfg, retail at $ 150.00
|
FRAIDY CAT RABBIT
Click image to enlarge
ABBOTT- Here is an effect for audiences from eight to eighty! It only occupies a small corner in your prop case, but it can be a large feature in your act! The
black rabbit turns white from fright when the audience yells boo! Turns back to black when they yell "boo backwwards". As the audience demands "turn it
around". After the usual sucker business of turning the plaque sideways and upside down, etc. the performer shows the opposite to reveal not the white
rabbit face but the black back (cottontail and all) or the Fraidy Cat Rabbit! The white rabbit has now vanished completely. Both doors of the holder are
opened to show that nothing is concealed. A Bill Paul creation. Finest hardwoods, hardware and lacquer finishes are used. Retail $ 100.00
Limited production.

JURASSIC DECK
Click image to enlarge
The magician shows a deck of 52 different cards. Different movie titles ('Pretty Woman', 'E.T', 'Jaws' etc.) are boldly written black on the red back of
each card. A 'movie collectors club' prediction card is placed on the table in full view. The prediction is turned face-up by the spectator, to reveal the
movie 'Casablanca'. Next, the spectator's card is turned face-down only to reveal that 'Jurassic Park' is printed there. It seems the magician screwed up,
as the prediction and the spectator's chosen card don?t match. However, the magician waves the whole deck of card over the spectator's card, and when the
deck is turned face-down and spread out the whole deck of cards is changed into a 'JURASSIC DECK' of cards, matching the spectator's freely chosen movie
card!! But there's even more: When the cards are placed back into the box, even the card box has changed into the theme of the movie.

GYPSY MONTE
Click image to enlarge
You love the "Ultimate Monte" by Michael Skinner? Me too! With this card set you get the possibility to perform this effect with this new "vintage
feeling". Different from all the other cards of the Gypsy Deck these cards have printed indexes to make this effect possible. You get the three gaffed
cards, together with a new routine by Mark Elsdon.
|
THE GYPSY DECK
Click image to enlarge
Just imagine! A playing card deck that brings the past to life. These vintage-looking playing cards are inspired by the Anglo-American poker decks from the
18th and 19th century. With their extraordinary Tarot size (60 x 110 mm) you and your spectators really get the feeling of seeing something very special and
rare. The cards seem to have seen many years pass by as they look old and worn. But in fact they are absolutely new and printed on the best playing card
stock available (3-layer paper, linen structure, high flexibility, the same that you know from your favourite Bicycle deck).
The backs are marked in a very subtle way so that - if you like - you can easily find out which card is selected. Only those in the know will notice the
secret. All the above features make this deck perfect for magicians. Increase the possibilities with this deck by adding the cards of the extension set.

CARD OF NOSFERATU
Click image to enlarge
All the cards, representing a village in Transylvania, are spread out to show their backs and faces. A very special looking card is also
introduced, the vampire card, the card of Nosferatu! A 'victim' card is selected by the spectator and replaced back into the deck where it is lost within
the 'village'. The 'vampire' card follows to seek for his victim. After cutting and shuffling the cards, the deck is spread face down. Lying right beside
it is a very pale looking card with two vampire bite holes punctured through it and plenty of blood splattered on the card as well. When it is turned over,
it is revealed to be the spectator's chosen card. It seems that the curse of Nosferatu remains strong for another day! Very easy to perform and great for
story telling magic. Comes completely with all gaffs Use your own Phoenix or Bicycle deck.
