SQUEEKERS








SQUEEKERS!



Eeet-eeet! Eeet-eeet!

Make lots of noise with this easy-to-use novelty!

Make your nose squeak!  Make someone else's nose squeak! Make your sponge balls squeak! 

Simple to use.  This soft plastic squeaker can be secretly concealed in your palm, or you can just squeak it out in the open. It will get plenty of laughs for you either way!

Just hold the squeaker hidden in your hand, and with your index finger push on someone's nose.  It squeaks!  

Make the tomatoes in your salad squeak -- that will sure get the server's attention!  There is no limit to the fun you can have with this!

Hold it under a box and say you've caught a mouse!  People will scream when you open the lid!

Go through the fruit aisle at the supermarket – make plums, bananas, and peaches squeak – here's a ripe one!  Squeak repeatedly as you push your shopping cart and everyone will think you have an annoying squeaky wheel!

Squeak in unison with your stride – new shoes!

Slide your finger along a counter top or windowsill – squeaky clean!

Use it for a magic trick.  Take three squeak toys and remove the squeakers, or use three sponge balls.  With the Squeeker hidden in your hand, show how one toy “squeaks” and the other two don't.  Mix them around and ask them which one squeaks.  They will always guess wrong.  Finish by making all of the toys squeak, and then none of them squeak.  They can examine them all they want, but they can't get any of them to squeak!

You will think of new uses every day for this great comedy prop!

TALLY HO PLAYING CARDS


Tally Ho (red) Circle Back Design

The Tally-Ho brand of cards was first produced in 1885 by the Andrew Dougherty Co..  The same year, the Russell and Morgan PTG. Co. began production of the Bicycle Brand.  

In 1896, after more than half a century in the playing-card industry, Andrew Dougherty transferred control of the business to his three sons, Edward, Andrew, and William.  Following his death in 1907, his sons agreed to sell the company to what eventually became the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC). 

The USPCC still manufactures Tally Ho playing cards, although production today is limited.  Tally Ho's have gained favor with card players, card flourishers, and magicians over the years because of their patented slide-easy Linoid finish, round corners, and quality stock. 

The Linoid finish is identifiable by the waffle-shaped impressions on the backs of the cards.  These small squares pressed into each card act as tiny air pockets causing one card to actually float on another.

Tally Ho playing cards were the favorite of master magician Dai Vernon.  Vernon uses them in many videos both performing and teaching.  Tally Ho playing cards are also the preferred cards of character Doyle Lonnegan in the movie "The Sting."

Of interest to magicians, Tally-Ho playing cards have a very subtle one-way back design.

Made in the USA and available in Red and Blue backs at Tin City Magic.  Get yours today!

BICYCLE POKER-SIZE DISNEY VILE VILLAINS DECK



Join the fun with Walt Disney Company and United States Playing Card Company as they a feature a collection of Disney's most notoriously feared "Vile Villains."

This deck of officially licensed poker-sized playing cards includes popular animated villains throughout the years.  No movie is complete without a villain, and Disney's have been known to steal the show.

A must have for any fan of Disney!  These cards are suitable for all card games.

Magicians use these decks when doing card magic for young children.  Since many children have difficulty with suits and values, but instantly recognize the images on these cards, many card tricks can be adapted for use with these cards.  For example, a cards across routine is built around the villains vanishing from the deck and appearing between the spectator's hands (the jail).  And, as these cards feature vivid colors, color changes and color separations are striking.

Available now at Tin City Magic!

MAGICIAN'S INSURANCE POLICY

 

This is a beautifully produced new design and larger model of the classic Magician's Insurance Policy.  It is one of the most entertaining methods for revealing a selected card, or three different cards selected by members of the audience.  

Effect:  Three spectators select 3 cards.   You claim that you will be able to name their cards, or your new magician's insurance policy will pay out.

"This policy will pay $1000 if I fail!" 

Unfortunately, you are unable to name their cards.  But you are not worried because you are insured!

You then read the Terms And Conditions of the policy.  These lines are hilarious and your audience will be howling with laughter!

Finally, you get to the policy exclusions.  You explain that the policy specifically excludes a pay out if certain cards are chosen.

As you say the last line, you open the policy and show the first spectator's card in Jumbo Size! 

Opening the policy one more fold, you show the second spectator's card in Super Jumbo Size! 

Finally opening the last fold of the policy, you show the third spectator's selected card in Super Giant Size! 

You can also perform this with a single spectator.  A spectator selects a card, and after failing to name the selected card, you open your Insurance Policy and disclose a printed card.  "Was this your card? No?  Bigger?"  Opening the policy one more fold, you disclose an even larger card.  "Was it this card?  No!  Still bigger?  Oh!  What's this!"  You open the last fold of the policy to disclose a very large replica of the selected card.

The folded policy measures just 3.5" x 8.5" and will fit in your shirt pocket. As you unfold it, it grows, and grows, till you have the Super Giant Size card on a sheet 16.5" x 20.5" - big enough for a large stage.  A prop which you can carry in your pocket and use at any time and in any place.  

The complete instructions and routines are printed as the "fine print" on the policy.  As value for money, this is an exceptionally good and affordable buy.  Get your Magician's Insurance Policy at Tin City Magic today!

THE VAUDEVILLE DECK




Vaudeville Deck (Act I) : Bringing the Past Back to Life!

Some of the world’s most talented and influential magicians came out of the Vaudeville era.  It was a time of creativity and variety that captured the imaginations of audiences around the world.  Legends such as Houdini, Alexander, Carter, and Thurston graced stages adorned with rich red curtains and worked their miracles.

Custom Faces. Custom Backs. Custom Everything.

The Vaudeville Deck provides a nostalgic view of that golden era.  The Vaudeville Deck features 100% custom artwork that pays tribute to the grandeur and mystique of the great magicians of yesteryear.  The back design evokes sweeping stage curtains that surround a mysterious crystal ball.  The vibrant color scheme will stimulate your creative juices and inspire your performances. 

The faces have an aged, vintage look, with each King being modeled after a famous Vaudeville-era magician.  The Jacks and Queens pay tribute to antique fashion styles.  Even the pips have been created from scratch with an evocative stage curtain theme.  

The crystal ball from the back design is seamlessly integrated into the Ace of Spades, which has an intricate and ornate design that’s reminiscent of a fine antique.  The tuck case is a work of art by itself, featuring a custom Vaudeville logo, an eye-popping color scheme, precise embossing, and gold foil accents.

Unparalleled Quality

Ideal for eye-catching flourishes, ultrasonic throws, and amazing magic, the Vaudeville deck is a true performer’s deck.  Printed in the USA by the United States Playing Card Company, the Vaudeville deck features premium stock and finish for ultimate quality and longevity.  A special double-backed card with a magic crystal ball reveal is also included so you can unleash your inner mystic.

How it works…
Rory’s Story Cubes are a remarkably simple and effective means for inspiring creative thinking and problem solving in all of us. Simply toss all the dice, examine each of the nine face-up images and let them guide your imagination through a story that begins with “Once upon a time…”.
The nine dice, each with an image on six sides, hold a total of 54 images. This means that with every roll, there are over 10 million combinations for you to use as the inspiration for your story. The uses for Rory’s Story Cubes are boundless. Whether it’s in a classroom, business, or performance, the process of creating and telling your own story can provide untold understanding of our language, of the world we live in, and of ourselves.
The secret is not to think too deeply. Simply ‘gulp’ in the images and start talking. The story will reveal itself through the cubes and in so doing, will unleash creativity, freedom of expression and frequently, an insight to how to solve a seemingly intractable personal or business problem.
The quality cubes are moulded for durability and feel really good to hold. The take-anywhere box (60mmx60mmx25mm) with magnetic closure is durable and popular with teachers, magicians, and other professionals as a portable tool or game with endless possibilities.
