This week I will introduce you to two items that could not be more different. A stage size wand gag-routine for family audiences and a rising card routine.
A few years ago, I was able to acquire some of the Creative Magic products that I have been sharing with you here and on eBay. The Bigger Wands routine is one of their bestsellers and I have been told that they have sold for more than $1,200! I only have three left, and you can have them for less than half that.
A few weeks ago I introduced you to the Derek Dingle Super Card Rise download but I completely forgot that I also own the rights to the John Cornelius version that does not use any sleight of hand (except for controlling the selections to the top of the deck) and can be used for as many free selections as you want. He teaches you how to make a clever gimmick that can be used with a borrowed deck and glass.
►Bigger Wands:
Although this is not a magic routine it is a killer running gag for any show that involves a child assisting you.
The set comes with seven foam magic wands that kids love, ranging in size from 6″ to more than 7 feet.
Bigger Wands can turn a 10-second trick into a 5-minute routine that kids and parents will remember you for. “Hey, you’re the magician with the gigantic wands!” …has been heard many times!
The largest wand is great for photos that will, in turn, keep people talking about your show and create social media opportunities.

►SuperBall Card Rise:
This is a direct, multi-card, rising cards routine based on Derek Dingle’s Super Card Rise. Unlike Derek’s version, this is practically self-working and can be used for as many successive cards as you like.
The basic routine has three people freely select cards and return them to the deck. The deck is placed in a cup, so a portion of the deck is always seen. You wave your hands over the cup and the first selection rises out, you repeat this two more times, until the third selection rises. The cards and glass can then be handed out for examination.

►Mandrake’s Magic Coin:
This is an original copper colored (US Penny size) coin shell that adheres to a magnet. It was manufactured around 1941 by S.S. Adams for King Features Syndicate, which owned the Mandrake The Magician franchise.
The image on the coin portrays Mandrake holding what appears to be a wand with lightning flying out of it. The writing around the coin is, “Mandrake’s Magic Coin.” Also, in the lower center of the coin is a copyright notice, “© KFS.”
For magic token collectors. This has been cataloged as “Mandrake the Magician MT236.”

►Holesome Coins: Japanese Edition:
The basic routine involves three coins. A Japanese coin with a hole in it, a small African coin with a hole in it, and a Walking Liberty silver half dollar. The first phase begins with an impossible single coin transposition, followed by an even more impossible two for one coin transposition, with a final phase where the silver coin jumps back from your pocket, is used to vanish the two other coins, and can be handed out for examination.
Comes complete with a special set of gimmicked coins, matching regular coins, and access to the online video tutorials and as a special bonus you will get an additional tutorial by Meir Yedid.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:
►The Mouse That Roared:
Dan Garrett’s routine is quick and visual where a small mouse (puppet) runs up and down your arm, fingers, across your shoulders, attacks you, kisses you, interacts with you, bites you, it is fed, and so much more.
This streamlined mouse (originally called Judy The Mouse) does not use any fur or animal products in the manufacture of the puppet. The mouse also includes a small squeaker that is embedded inside, so all the squeaks are self-contained and are not dangerous to use like the original warblers.
