While hanging out with Curtis Kam at Magic Live he showed me a thimble routine where at the end flowers sprang out of them. The next day he showed me a coin trick which ended with a small bouquet of flowers appearing on the coin. Both times he surprised me and made me laugh.
He showed me how it worked and how the flowers were delivered using a special sharpie. I knew I had to get one, and now you can have one too. He now has seven routines using them which you can watch on his Instagram and Facebook pages.
Although the tutorial that comes with the Sharpie teaches a surprising mentalism/prediction routine, the prop can be used for so much more… you will be able to figure out how to produce the flower bouquet during many of your existing routines.
Wanted to also remind you that the introductory price for Dan Garrett’s Close-Up Connivery Combined download expires on Tuesday.
►Flower Power:
This is a terrific close-up magic utility device that produces a small feather flower tree whenever you want it. It can be incorporated into any routine that has a piece of steel or magnet that the magnetic tree can attach to. The tree remains hidden inside a hollow sharpie until you want to produce it.
It is ideal as an ending or an interlude during any intimate close-up routine. You will be surprised at the reactions you get when a tiny bouquet of flowers is produced out of nowhere.

►Close-Up Connivery Combined:
In 1982 Dan released his Close-Up Connivery #1 to coincide with an extensive lecture tour. In addition to his own creations he included routines from his friends Paul Sponaugle and Duke Stern. Six years later, in 1988 he ventured on another tour and decided to release Closeup Connivery #2 which included routines from his friends David Williamson, Max Maven, Michael Weber, and Charles Pecor. Both of those booklets are included in this download.
You will learn magic with coins, cards, finger rings, solid cups, coin purses, gimmicked coins, safety pins, business cards, and more.

►Box of Darkness:
This is an inexpensive version of Color Vision that is made of resin, but what makes it different is that the die is the shape of a skull with the six numbers imbedded in it.
Ideal for Halloween and other macabre presentations. You can even refer to it as a skull from a shrunken head.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Just received a few more of the Hopping Keys. If you ever enjoyed performing the Hopping Halves this could be your upgrade.
►Hopping Key:
The Hopping Half is a classic gimmicked coin routine that has been performed by many magicians and enthusiasts. The classic is now available using manufactured keys.
The basic routine begins with two keys, a gold one and a silver one. You place the gold key in your pocket, and it jumps back to your hand, you repeat with the silver key, and it too jumps back, you repeat one more time with the silver key and as a finale everything disappears and can then reappear at your discretion.
Using the set of keys, you can also perform other types of routines like color changes, transpositions, splits, appearances, vanishes and more. Many of those are discussed in the tutorial.
