MULTIPLYING BOTTLES




MULTIPLYING BOTTLES

The Multiplying Bottles are a classic and one of the greatest comedy effects in magic! There are many variations available, but our model truly is top of the line!

A glass and a bottle under different covers repeatedly change places! A bottle magically jumps from one tube to the other, then back! The performer and audience never seem to know where it is. Then a second bottle appears, then a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and finally the eighth appears! There are bottles everywhere! Your audience will break into thunderous applause!

This is a great comedy routine where the magic seems to go out of control!  Best of all, it packs small but plays BIG!

Many professional magicians, including Gene Anderson, Bev Bergeron, Denny Haney, Tommy Cooper, Ken Brooke, Nick Lewin, Ron Wilson, and Johnny Thompson use the multiplying bottles in their acts.  Lance Burton performed it on national TV!  Even Abbott & Costello performed this wonderful trick!

Comes complete with 8 spun aluminum bottles crafted to look like glass bottles and 2 spun aluminum anodized covers finished in non-chipping paint.  Special features designed into this set make it easy to do.  An absolutely fantastic set at a steal of a price at Tin City Magic!

RUBBER DONUT



It looks good enough to eat - but you can't!  Perfect for keeping folks on diets, finding out who's been stealing food, or a great office prank.  Magicians can use it as a amazing production item or a surprise finish to a bowl routine.  Check it out at Tin City Magic!

DISECTO

Disecto Arm Chopper

The classic arm chopper.   Disecto was invented many years ago by Lester Lake and has been successfully used in the professional acts of magicians worldwide.

The blade is shown to run the length of the Disecto frame.  A volunteer inserts their arm into the large hole, underneath the blade.  The magician inserts breadsticks or carrots into the smaller holes.  Then a seeming impossibility takes place -t
he blade is pushed directly through the volunteer's arm!  The breadsticks or carrots are cut, the blade is seen passing through the holes, but the arm remains unharmed. 

Plenty of opportunities for comedy and mystery are possible with this tried and tested trick.   Completely under the magician's control and safe to perform.  Get yours today at Tin City Magic!

Wild Card

Our poker chips are beautifully made and very deceptive.

Self-contained, nothing added or taken away.  Easy to do & examinable!   Check it out TODAY at TIN CITY MAGIC!

MIND BALL


Mind Ball by David Regal 
"MIND BALL is a custom-made Magic 8 Ball-type device that allows for a routine that combines solid amazement with built-in amusement. It just may be the ultimate party trick, but I’ve performed it as part of a formal close-up act and as a bar magic item – wherever you have a group of people, you can perform MIND BALL."
-David Regal 

BRAND NEW AND AVAILABLE NOW AT TIN CITY MAGIC!

The Effect:

Two spectators – one male and one female – select cards from an examined and shuffled deck using what appear to be ultra-fair conditions. The magician does not touch the deck during this process. The male spectator is left with a card in front of him, the female spectator with a card in front of her. They concentrate on their cards, and the MIND BALL not only reveals which cards were selected, but whose is whose!

Throughout this participatory routine the ball can be passed around, reading the minds of people in the audience, as when it is not revealing a card it is saying something amusing. 

MIND BALL does not cost hundreds of dollars because there are no electronics… you “ride the ball” as one random phrase after another appears in the window until both selections have been revealed. The trick is extremely easy to do, and exceptionally baffling, but its greatest attribute is the solid entertainment value that is produced by MIND BALL.

THE EXPERT AT THE CARD TABLE



THE EXPERT AT THE CARD TABLE
The Classic Treatise On Card Manipulation

For almost a century, this book has been considered indispensable to attaining the highest level of card mastery.   In it, S.W. Erdnase, a supreme master of card manipulation, teaches card enthusiasts how to perform the dazzling tricks and sleights-many of them his own creations-that made him famous.
The first section of the book deals with card table artifice, or, to put it more bluntly, cheating at cards.  Step by step, Mr. Erdnase demonstrates his own systems of false shuffling, false riffling and cutting, dealing from the bottom and such slick moves as palming cards, “skinning the hand,” and even three-card monte.
The second section covers legerdemain: the art of forcing a card, one- and two-hand transformations, the devious “slide” and more.  Card handlers will love Erdnase’s selection of dazzling card tricks, including The Acrobatic Jacks, The Exclusive Coterie, The Divining Rod, The Invisible Flight, a Mind Reading Tick, and many others.
In an informative foreword to this edition, Martin Gardner relates the unhappy details of the author’s personal life, and recounts the history of this famous book, whose methods, Mr. Gardner asserts, “are as useful today by magicians and card hustlers as they were in 1902.  This book is still the bible of card ‘mechanics,’ and as much a delight to read as it was in the early years of this century.”
“The Expert at the Card Table is the most famous, carefully studied book ever published on the art of manipulating cards at gaming tables.” -from the Foreword by Martin Gardner
Get your value priced edition of this amazing book for less than ten bucks at Tin City Magic today!  
Don't miss SCAMS & FANTASIES WITH CARDS starring DARWIN ORTIZ at the SUGDEN THEATER (239-263-7990) on FEB 13 and FEB 14 at 6pm and 8pm!  Mr. Ortiz performs many of the effects from this book in his show accompanied by great stories and charming wit!

HYRUM the HAUNTED HANKY



Your spectators may not "believe" in ghosts. But, if they've ever heard a funny noise or felt a presence they couldn't explain, you've got them right where you want them for this effect!

You begin your performance by announcing that you "can see ghosts..."

You pause for a moment and correct yourself...

"Well, I can't really say I've ever actually 'seen' a ghost. But, I have experienced them. And my guess is that you have too. I'll show you what I mean..."

You explain... "People imagine that ghosts are large, like... people... That's how ghosts have been represented in television and movies. But anyone who's actually experienced a ghost will tell you that ghosts aren't subject to the same physical constraints as we are."

You explain that for this reason your spectators (or anyone else for that matter) will probably never "see a ghost". But, if they watch carefully, they may just experience one tonight.

Having said this you start to look around the room curiously...

Finally, you grab a "ghost" out of the air, pick up a corner of your handkerchief, and throw the "ghost" under your handkerchief.

To prove you have "captured a ghost", you pose a seemingly rediculous question: "Hyrum, is that you?".

At that moment the center of the handkerchief shoots up and dances around for several hilarious seconds, almost as though Hyrum is trying to escape.

Before the "ghost" can get away, you grab the handkerchief and try to contain the source of all this motion... But it's too late! Hyrum has escaped!

You now show that the handkerchief is free of any attachments, fold it up and put it away.

Check it out at Tin City Magic today!
