I came across a unique warehouse find that I think you will find very interesting. It was manufactured by Sasco and was likely never made available before. I made an unpacking trailer, so you get to see what you are getting: HERE

►Jumbo Holed Double Sided Coin:

This is a warehouse find. It was manufactured for Sasco many years ago by a company that makes metal dishes and other kitchen utensils. It is of exceptional quality.

But we don’t know what it was made for. You can see what it is on the trailer, but it is basically a three-inch metal Chinese Coin with a square hole on one side and a 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar with a square hole on the other.

I just got a few of these inexpensive tricks by Alan Wong. They are ideal for magicians that hang out where drinks are served like bars, clubs, and restaurants. Done well you can make people laugh and might even get a free beer.

►Free Beer:

This is a quick routine that is ideally performed at a restaurant or bar.

You display four different color poker chips and let your friend remove three chips, one at a time, until only one is left.

As you discuss how colors can reflect a person’s personality you turn over the chips to reveal surprising messages that match your friend’s personality, which invites them (forces them) to buy you a drink.

I was honored to be interviewed by Erik Tait for the season premiere of the Penguin Magic Podcast.

►Quadruple Spellbound:

Originally created in the 1970s and first published in the 1980s, this was one of Simon Aronson’s favorite routines, that he always carried with him and performed often.

The basic effect: You show an American half dollar. You wave your hand over it, and it changes into a Japanese coin with a hole through it. Wave your hand over the Japanese coin and it changes into a copper English penny. Wave your hand over the penny and it changes into an African coin with a hole in it. As a finale, the African coin changes back into the American half dollar.

In addition to the custom-made set of gaffed coins you also get a video tutorial with Simon Aronson performing and explaining his original handling, Meir Yedid teaching his versions of the Quadruple Spellbound, and Sol Stone teaching his Patriotic Poker Chips.

►BACK IN STOCK:

►Haunted Key Deluxe:

The Haunted Key is a classic of magic that is easy to do and is very mysterious to watch.

The basic routine starts with an examinable old key on the palm of your hand that starts to move and turn on its own. It is ungaffed and can be examined at any time.

This is an old looking silver oxidized colored metal key that is well weighted for the effect. It is around 4.5-inches long and the head is around 1.25-inches wide.

►OUR PREVIOUS RELEASE:

►Progressive Bills:

A routine right out of Meir Yedid’s professional stage and parlor acts. One he has been performing for most of his career. This is a quick version of the bill repeat plot that is logical, self-working, and has a powerful “applauds cue” ending. The brilliant part of the method is that the big finale serves as the secret gimmick throughout the routine. The routine ends with a flash unfold that produces the gimmick to great applauds.

It is completely self-contained, packs small (fits in a wallet or envelope), always ready to perform, ideal for stage and platform shows, a perfect Emcee routine and can even be a hit in family and children’s shows.
