TRAPPED by 3D Magic Works 3D Magic Works has released the first effect in the Dragon

themed trilogy called "TRAPPED" . The first thing you may

notice is the appearance, different specialty filaments are used

to give the appearance of granite and marble. Truly a fresh

new look for the 3DMW line of magic. The effect is amazing

to see, so check out the video on our website. You tell the story

of how a dragon (represented by a block marked with the

dragon) is captured by the wizard and placed in a tower. The

dragon attempts to escape, but on each occasion is unable to do

so. This is one of the finest effects that 3D Magic Works have produced so far. The effect is really baffling and

the props are stunning RRP—£164.95 EXCLUSIVE OFFER—£154.95

The Mini Spread Big Surprise by El Duco This is a card effect, different from all others you have ever seen. You show a mini size deck and ask a spectator

to cut the deck and select a card. Pick up the deck and spread it face down on the table. NOW THE COMPLETE

SPREAD HAS SHRUNK TO HALF THE SIZE!! The spread consists of real cards. Every card

is in a row separated from each other. If not the size change has impressed your audience the fol-

lowing definitely will: Ask the spectator to look at his card. Let´s say it´s the six of diamonds.

Not only the size has now changed, but all the cards in the spread have changed to the selected card!!! Then take

the selected card and tip the spread over. IT CHANGES INSTANTLY TO A LONG CARD - THE SIX OF

DIAMONDS!!! This surprise finish will shock both laymen and magicians. Comes complete with illustrated in-

structions—£25.00

ZODIAC PREDICTION An incredible, three phase routine that allows you to predict your spectator's star sign AND

selected card.... and then turn the rest of the playing cards blank. All with NO moves or

sleight of hand. This is mega commercial magic that anyone can do. It's a keeper!!! :)

"This simple routine packs WAY more punch than I ever expected. It's become a highlight

of my lectures!' - Liam Montier. Includes Booklet, Download Video, props and blank

cards! CHECK OUT WHAT OTHER GREAT MAGICIAN'S ARE SAYING ABOUT

ZODIAC PREDICTION:

"Liam has expertly layered devious construction with a proven, self-working card placement, and put it in a

perfect package. Really commercial just got really easy to do." John Bannon "This is just the type of effect

that's up my street. Self-working but impossible to explain. There's no mucking about at all. You MUST have

known their star-sign! Pure Montier magic! Love it!" Dave Forrest…£15.99

CARD ON RIBBON You show your audience a closed card case, the case has a hole through it from front to back. You hand out a

ribbon for examination. You open the case, and take out the deck and show that there's nothing hidden in the

case, show the deck on both sides. Aside from the hole through each card, it's an ordinary deck. A spectator

freely chooses a card, let's say the five of hearts. The card, which can be signed, is lost in the deck, which is

then cleanly replaced in its case. Show everything from all sides. As the case is open, everyone can see the

cards inside. Now invite your spectator to thread the ribbon through the case with the cards in-

side. Explain to your spectator that it is completely impossible to free any one card without

damaging it or cutting the ribbon. This is so obvious, no one will contradict you. With the

case still open, and the spectator having a firm hold on the ends of the ribbon, the escape of any card would

be totally impossible! With your thumb and forefinger, you then gently pull out one card from the deck, then

yank it free. There you are with one card in hand - a lone, liberated card! You now show the card to your

spectator - of course, it's the five of hearts previously chosen! How is this possible, since the hole through the

five is still intact, with absolutely no damage? The card seems to have passed through the ribbon by magic.

And yet, the ribbon still binds the rest of the cards in the deck! Remove the deck from the case and immedi-

ately pass it out for examination. As your spectator can see, the ribbon still passes through all of the cards

except for the one "escapee," the five of hearts!...£30.00

CHAIN THROUGH SWORD Here's a great effect for close-up magic - an impossible solid-through-solid demonstration!

Two cards, each with a hole in the centre, are placed on a stand. The magician inserts a chain

between the two cards and rests on the table. A plastic sword then goes through both cards

and remains in place. To prove that the sword is solid and is impaling the cards, the chain is

raised and lifts both cards in the air. NOW for the magic! The magician pulls the chain, and it

appears to penetrate right through the sword! Produces great reactions from spectators! Easy

to do. Great for beginners! Includes: 2 Playing cards, 1 silver metal chain, 1 plastic sword, 1

base and the ingenious gimmick you need to make this miracle happen!...£12.95

Smiley by Alan Warner With this effect you show a small wooden box, open at one end. You tip it, and a blue sad faced disc falls

out. You place the disc back in, and turn the box over. You tip it again, and the blue sad face

disc falls out. You repeat this a few times, saying that the sad face always appears. The spec-

tator assumes that the disc is double sided, but you can show that there is a sad face on only

ONE side! You now put the sad face disc back in the box, and say that the disc is 'tired' and

that's why he's sad. You now say that when the trick is over, he becomes happy, and when you tip the disc

out now, it is shown to have a yellow smiley face! Quick reset, and spectator can examine the

discs….£115.00

The Mummy by Alan Warner The performer removes the lid from a plain wooden sarcophagus to reveal an Egyptian

Mummy reclining in an open coffin. The coffin containing the Mummy is removed

and the performer then demonstrates the Mummy’s mysterious power TO FLOAT

UNSUPPORTED IN THE COFFIN. The coffin with the floating Mummy is returned

to the plain sarcophagus and the lid is replaced. A second sarcophagus is then shown

empty, this sarcophagus differing from the first in that it has a decorated lid. The per-

former states that the Mummy has the power not only to float unaided but also demate-

rialise and materialize, and goes on to prove this by reopening the plain sarcophagus to

reveal that THE COFFIN IS NOW EMPTY. On removing the lid of the decorated sar-

cophagus, THE MUMMY IS NOW SEEN TO BE INSIDE THIS SARCOPHAGUS.

Each beautifully proportioned sarcophagus is made in SOLID TEAK and measures 12

x 5 x 5.4 cms high, an oiled finish preserving the natural wood. The lid of the deco-

rated sarcophagus features A GENUINE HAND-POLISHED GEMSTONE.

VERY RARE ITEM—£595.00

Geometric by Alan Warner A spectator is given a free choice from three small pieces of plastic, each of which has one of

three different geometrical shapes cut out of its centre – namely, a square, a triangle or a cir-

cle. The spectator’s piece of plastic is placed beside a small wooden cover which has been on

display from the outset. Inside this cover there is a shallow tray. The performer now tips the tray out of the

cover to reveal that it contains a single piece of plastic which also has a geometrical shape cut out of the

centre of it. This cut out shape MATCHES THE SPECTATOR’S SELECTED GEOMETRICAL

SHAPE—£135.00

Runic by Alan Warner The Performer displays a box which contains a complete set of wooden Viking runes,

then demonstrates that by shaking the box, a rune can be cast onto the table via a slot

at one end of the box. Two runes are cast in this fashion and then replaced by the per-

former back inside the box with the others. A spectator is now asked to hold the box

and give it a shake to cast two runes for himself in a random selection from all twenty-

five runes in the runic alphabet. The selected runes are placed on top of two previ-

ously shown blank wooden plaques. The spectator is now asked to remove the two

runes and the top plaque. Mysteriously, the symbols on the runes cast by the spectator have been BURNT

INTO THE WOOD ON THE BOTTOM PLAQUE! TOP QUALITY HANDCRAFTED APPARA-

TUS This unusual effect comprises a handcrafted teak box (9 x 5 x 3.8 cms approx.), and a full set of

twenty-five wooden Viking runes—£195.00

PLEASE NOTE : These are original Alan Warner, and are as new, although some are used

items and are in limited quantities. Please call for further information—01924 339933

BLIND DATE by Eric Williams Here is another find from the Merlins Vaults it is an original from Supreme Magic. In effect the magician

enlist the help of two gentlemen from the audience. He explains that they are all going to go out on an imagi-

nary dinner date. They are to randomly select a lady to partner them on the date. The magician

introduces three large (8” x 10”) cards which he says are images of the available ladies, the la-

dies are not shown as the choices are to be random. On the reverse side of the lady cards is a

number. The magician mixes the cards face down and places each card into its own window envelope, the

numbers are clearly visible through the windows. Each gentleman is given a completely free choice of num-

ber and are even allowed to change their mind if they wish. Once the gentlemen are happy the magician gets

the remaining card. Upon revealing the gentlemen's choices they have landed a date with two shockers (as the

original instructions describe them!) and the magician has the glamour model. Probably not politically correct

by today's standards but good old fashioned fun and great vintage art work. Brand new original vintage

stock….£14.95

SPONTANIOUS COMBUSTION Spontaneous combustion is an innovative card game where you can find a card previously selected at random.

To find it you increase the temperature of your hands to such point you can burn through the deck leaving the

silhouette of your fingers literally perforated on the cards as a witness to your power

Spontaneous combustion creates the illusion of burning through the deck with your fingers to

find the previously selected card. The deck is ready to use. You can repeat the effect several

times without preparing the deck each time. The chosen card is be randomly selected and can be signed .In this

game you do not have to worry about technique, just run it and you can enjoy the surprise and admiration of

your viewers. The script is designed to engage the viewer throughout the whole performance and offer an even

more amazing finale. Creator of "Animated Magic Book"; with thousands of copies sold worldwide; "Deck

Classifier" presented at the FISM : Portugal 2000; "Card in your palm"; "Cutting 10"; "Water and oil with six

packs". Includes a DVD, booklet and a special card deck ready to use…£25.00

IT’S A SPOOK

A classic effect. The magician displays a silk handkerchief between his hands. Suddenly,

the hanky comes to life! It dances about, scampering out of the magician's reach, jumping

from side to side and wiggling around in an eerie fashion. The entire effect is self-

contained and easy to perform. Supplied complete including silk, instructions and "special

something.".Easy to carry in your pocket so you are always ready to perform a quick and

visual bit of business…£8.00

4 FLUSH by Nick Trost A brilliant version of a classic effect, A "Wild Card" effect with six cards! You show five blank-faced cards and

one Four of Spades. The Four is brushed against two of the blank cards and they change to Fours! This is re-

peated with the other blank cards and at the finish, all six cards have changed to the Four of

Spades-a Four Flush! No double-faced cards are used, yet spectators seem to see the face and

back of every card! Excellent value….£10.00

C-Psych by 3D Magic Works A small stand with three different coloured round pieces (red, green & blue) with bronze bases are pre-

sented. Each of the circular spaces that hold the coloured pieces are numbered 1, 2 or

3. The performer turns his/her back to the spectator and instructs the spectator to THINK

of (and not reveal) any of the three coloured pieces. The performer then instructs the spec-

tator to swap the other two (non selected) colours from one space to the other. Now, the spectator has

silently thought of a colour and has mixed up the order of the pieces, next the spectator is told that he/she

may make as many two piece swaps as they would like while calling out the numbers of the pieces being

swapped. Once the spectator is satisfied with mixing up the coloured pieces, the performer turns around

and will immediately tell the spectator which colour he/she was THINKING of. The light brown parts of

this set are 3D printed using a beautiful filament that has been infused with genuine wood. The bronze

parts are 3D printed using a unique filament that has been infused with genuine bronze alloy—RRP

CARD PUNCH by 3D Magic (Ball and Die Version) The performer removes a thin, ornate, rectangular apparatus from a stand. The round

cap, in the centre of the apparatus, is removed to reveal a round hole. The spectator

can now see the round hole does in fact go completely through the card sleeve. A

regular, examined playing card is inserted into the sleeve. The performer explains

that this card sleeve is actually a “Card Punch” The performer now removes the steel

ball from the stand and places it inside of the round hole of the card sleeve , the ball laying on top of the

playing card. The performer picks up the round cap and places it over the steel ball and pushes the cap

down. The performer removes the round cap to reveal that the steel ball is no longer in the round

hole. The playing card can still be seen through the round hole . The performer picks up the card sleeve to

reveal the steel ball resting in their open palm. The performer places the steel ball on the stand and then

removes the playing card from the card sleeve to reveal that the steel ball had penetrated clear through the

playing card without causing any damage to the playing card at all. The performer turns the round cap over

to show nothing could fit inside of it and that only one ball was used. Punch Card (Steel Ball) includes an

exclusive bonus penetration effect which is a wonderful visual of the ball passing through the playing card

into the performer's or spectator's open hand—RRP—£79.95 EXCLUSIVE OFFER—£69.95

This brand new close up illusion is available in two versions. One version uses the steel ball and the

THE COLOUR OF MUMMY The performer presents an ornate stand with two unique boxes dis-

played upon it. The stand and boxes are seen to have Egyptian hi-

eroglyphics and decorations on them. The larger box (tomb box)

houses a sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is slid out. The performer

removes the lid of the sarcophagus to reveal an all-White Mummy

resting inside. The Mummy is removed and the inside of the sar-

cophagus is shown to have black sides/inner walls with a majestic

red velvet lined bottom. The White Mummy is returned to the sar-

cophagus and the lid is replaced. The closed sarcophagus is then returned to the outer tomb box and is set

to the side. The performer removes the second box and the lid is removed the box contains another smaller

box, and six coloured chips; Blue, Gold, Green, Purple, Red and Silver. The spectator selects a chip in a

very fair manner. The performer then removes the lid of the sarcophagus to reveal that the Mummy inside

has now changed from White to match the colour of the selected chip. This entire set consists of over 70

individual 3D printed pieces which are hand assembled to create this wonderful effect. Because of the

amount of printing involved and the number of pieces, it takes one full day to print and assemble one com-

plete set…RRP—£164.95 EXCLUSIVE OFFER £154.95

Hip' N Hop' N Spot by 3D Magic Works

The performer brings forward two stands with ornate covers and places them next to each other, one on the

left and one on the right. The left cover has a black magicians hat with white bunny ears,

poking out of the top, on the front and backside and the right has a red magicians hat with

white bunny ears, also poking out of the top, on the front and the backside. The performer re-

moves the covers to reveal a coloured spot domino under each stand. Under the black hat

cover is a domino with black spots and under the red hat cover is a domino with red spots. The performer

then spins the two covered stands around (back side now facing front) and switches the place of the two

stands, black hat cover & stand is now on the right and red hat cover & stand on the left. When the covers

are removed, the red spotted domino is found under the black hat cover and the black spotted domino is seen

under the red hat cover. The performer then explains that those pesky rabbits can reverse what they have

done. The covered stands are then spun around again and the stands are switched back to the original start-

ing positions, the black hat cover & stand is on the left and the red hat cover & stand on the right. The spec-

tator does not seem to be too impressed and thinks he/she knows what the performer has done. The specta-

tor speaks up and says to the performer "All you did was turn the stand around to show that the colour spots

changed places." The performer then pick up each of the covered stand (one at a time) and, while keeping

the same cover side facing the spectator, does an propeller style spin and sets the stand back down in the

same spot. When finished spinning both covered stands, the covers are removed to show the spots are the

same colour as before the performer "propeller spun" them. "See, spinning them had no effect on the col-

oured spots", the spectator says. "No, you turned them around . . . front to back". The performer says "That

really can't be right, because those rabbits placed completely different colours on the back side." The per-

former then spins the un-covered dominoes around to reveal an orange spotted domino and a blue spotted

domino. "Those silly rabbits" —RRP £139.95 EXCLUSIVE OFFER—£129.95

DOM SPOTS by 3D MAGIC WORKS The spectator is asked to make a ‘domino’ using pegs provided, and a holed

domino which is contained within an ornate box. The performer states that they

knew all along what domino the spectator would create with the pegs, the per-

former states that he/she had made a prediction and that it is on the back side of

the very domino the spectator just created. The performer turns the domino

over to reveal that their prediction is exactly as the spectator created. The spec-

tator, obviously unimpressed by this, points out that the pegs go through the

domino and of course the back side would be the exact same. The performer, un-phased by the spectators

observation, reveals from within the box, which had been in view the whole time, and untouched by the per-

former until this point, their prediction that matched what the spectator had just created with the pegs . . .

now that's an impressive prediction. The light brown parts of this set are 3D printed using a beautiful fila-

ment that has been infused with genuine wood… RRP—£54.95...EXCLUSIVE OFFER...£44.95

JUMPIN by 3D Magic Works A stand with a paddle and a brass pin are presented. The

paddle is removed to show both sides and three holes in the paddle. The brass pin is now removed from the

stand and is placed into the middle hole of the paddle. The performer shows both sides of the paddle and

that the pin is through the middle hole. Without touching the pin, the performer shows how the pin quickly

jumps from the centre hole to one of the outer holes. The performer then takes the pin out of

the end hole and replaces it into the middle hole of the paddle, once again showing both sides

of the paddle and the pin going through the middle hole. Then, all of a sudden, the pin jumps

again to the other outer hole of the paddle. When placed back into the centre hole it just keeps jumping to

one of the other outside holes. The light brown parts of this set are 3D printed using a beautiful filament that

has been infused with genuine wood. RRP—£44.95 EXCLUSIVE OFFER—£34.95

Ultimate Mental Boxes by Magic Wagon Six small boxes and six numbered chips are displayed. While the performer’s back is turned, a spectator

is asked to mix the chips thoroughly and then to place one chip in each of the boxes so to create a six

digit number, for example let’s say the number is “326415”. Each of the boxes are then closed and mixed

completely by the spectator. Once the performer turns around, he is able to reveal the exact

six digit random number selected!

Please note that six numbers in total can now be used, which was not possible with

any other version that we have previously produced!

Each box measures 5cms wide, 3cms high and 5cms deep and has been individually and meticulously

handcrafted from high quality metallic silver faux leather and fully lined with velvet fabric.—£179.00

We also have limited supplies of : Diabolical V2—£175 Silken Glass Mystery—£289

Ultimate Card Dagger—£245 Please call for details and availability 01924 339933

TEMPLE OF DIVINATION by Magic Wagon The performer displays a beautiful wooden cabinet along with three wooden

blocks, numbered 1, 2 and 3. While the performer’s back is turned, a spectator

is invited to arrange the blocks in any order and then close the door of the cabi-

net. The performer now turns around and asks the spectator to place the cabinet

onto his open hands; immediately the performer reveals the correct order of the

blocks inside! This elegant illusion is fully automatic with no sleight of hand

involved to make the divination! The effect is entirely self-contained and nothing is added or taken

away! A multiple-phases routine can also be performed and it can be immediately repeated with a differ-

ent outcome! The effect is performed in full view and the cabinet never leaves the view of the spectator,

not even for an instant! Hundreds of hours have gone into the development of this mechanical marvel;

unlike other similar effects presented to the magic fraternity, there are no secret sliding panels of any

kind used. The brass work mechanism inside is truly a masterpiece of engineering! The cabinet meas-

ures approximately 15cms wide, 12cms high and 9cms deep including the roof and has been completely

handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a lightly distressed oil finish. …£299.00

GHOST BOX

A beautiful wooden box is displayed. The front door is opened and a large brass nut and bolt is seen rest-

ing on a red velvet platform. The nut and bolt are both examined and placed separately back onto the vel-

vet platform. The door is now closed and it is shown that nothing is connected above or below the box.

The door is opened again and it is seen that the nut has now mysteriously threaded itself

onto the bolt! The nut and bolt are again handed out for examination. This is just one of

many effects that are possible with the versatile Ghost Box! The effect is completely self-

contained and can be performed surrounded! The method is absolutely ingenious and

completely mechanical in operation! The spectator can thoroughly examine the threaded nut and bolt!

This is a very clever mechanical device that will open the doors to several incredible effects. The myster-

ies that can be created are limited only by one’s imagination. It comes complete with everything you need

to perform the Haunted Bolt routine including the glass jar which is not gimmicked, but it’s perfect for

John Talbot’s Ghost Catcher routine called “PROOF!”….£285.00

NOTHING TO LOSE by Bob Farmer Here is another treasure find from the Merlin Vaults. Nothing To Lose is the strangest, weirdest, most im-

possible 3 Card Monte you'll ever perform. The Card the spectators can't follow is not only a different col-

our than the other cards, it has a hole the size of a fifty cent piece drilled right though it!! Two solid blue

cards sandwich the red card with the large hole through it. The red hole card vanishes and appears on the

bottom of the packet. Suddenly the red hole card vanishes from the hands and reappears on the table.

Trapped on the table, the red hole card vanishes again and reappears in the hands. The

red hole card vanishes and reappears in the pocket, and everything is left on the table for ex-

amination. You get the very unusual cards, detailed instructions for two routines and

four pages of photos....And it's practically self-working!!...£14.99

BALLOON PREDICTION The performer draws the audience's attention to three inflated balloons of different colours (e.g., yellow,

red and green) The balloons are placed into a well-decorated wooden panel and then stood upon the table.

Below each balloon is a numbered door. According to the choice of the spectators, two bal-

loons are made to burst one after another with a pin. Only one balloon out of three re- mains

inflated. The performer now opens the doors just below the balloons. It is seen that there

COMPLETE PEEK WALLET A magician's wallet should do three things COMPLETELY and PER-

FECTLY: Allow you to get a peek of something a spectator has written.

Allow you to reveal a palmed object inside a sealed compartment. Func-

tion as a great daily wallet. Some wallets do one or even two of these

things, but The Complete Peek Wallet does ALL THREE.

The crowning achievement of the Complete Peek Wallet is that it allows

for the fairest peek yet released: someone draws a picture on the back of your business card, and with your

head completely turned, you slip the card back into the middle of a stack of credit cards or business cards.

Yet at any point, you get a COMPLETE peek of the entire surface of what they have drawn.

The wallet also allows you to reveal a borrowed ring, signed card, key, or any small object from a sealed

compartment. Palm and no-palm methods can be used interchangeably.

And, aside from all this, the wallet is manufactured in the United States with premium, soft leather. You

can and should use this as your everyday wallet…£45.00

AMAZEBOX KRAFT The AmazeBox was already regarded as the finest stage switching device ever devised, but now it has got-

ten even better! Made of thick, brown Kraft card, the AmazeBox Kraft now looks like regular cardboard

box - it doesn't look like a prop at all! Your spectators can drop in their thoughts, ideas or questions and

you can switch them ALL out in less than a second. Better still, the box is designed to al-

low a spectator to open it! The AmazeBox Kraft allows you to switch up to 200 small,

folded pieces of paper for your own pre-written papers... without EVER touching the box.

For example, during your intermission you can invite everyone at your show to think of their favourite

film, write it down, and drop it into the "simple" cardboard box onstage. YOU NEVER GO NEAR IT.

When you return to the stage, you can invite any spectator onstage to open the box, reach inside, and pull

out any paper at random. Voila! You've just executed the cleanest, most direct force we've ever encoun-

tered, all thanks to AmazeBox Kraft! …£55.00

jack visibly vanishes from the hands and appears back on the table face up. This is re-

peated, but no matter how closely the audience watches, the jack visibly vanishes and ap-

pears back on the table. Suddenly, all of the blank cards visibly transform themselves into jacks!...£12.00

DOUBLE HOLE GUILLOTINE A wooden frame and a shinny silver plate is shown to the audience. The Wooden frame and the plate has

two large holes in them. The plate is raised and both wrists of a spectator, or one wrist from two separate

spectators are inserted in the holes provided in the frame. If you wish, you can handcuff the spectators

wrists for extra effect. After suitable byplay to build up tension, the plate is forced down

into the frame. The solid plate miraculously passes through both wrists! When the plate is re-

leased from the frame, the wrists are seen to have completely bypassed the holes in the

plate - a miracle! This is a great “packs small, plays big” illusion…£59.95

LINK by Ben Harris A card is chosen and signed. It is lost within the deck. You now produce a long necklace of fine chain from

your pocket. The chain may have a pendant hanging from it (This is optional) The chain is held well above

the deck, hanging from one hand. The deck I in the other hand. The bottom of the hanging chain (or the

pendant itself) is dipped into the deck. Either of two things now happen. 1. The pendant vanishes to be re-

placed by the signed card LEGITIMATLEY UPON THE CHAIN. Or 2. The signed card magically appears

linked upon the bottom of the chain. Either way, the signed card REALLY is upon the

chain and there is no palming. The entire effect is self contained. The spectator must TEAR his

card to remove it from the chain….£10.00

Money Bag by Anton Corradin The magician puts some coins inside a bag (he may ask someone to do so as well), but the coins fall to the

floor because the bag has no end. Using his hands and forearms, he shows the inside of the bag is indeed

empty. After a shake, a printed picture of a coin appears, then, a giant coin worth fifty cents 7" (17cm) falls

from the bag. On the other side of the bag a printed picture of a bill appears, and from inside, a million dol-

lars falls in a cascade!

Comes complete with a 7" (17cm) fifty-cent coin made of aluminium, a million dollar wad

of "money," special constructed bag and instructional DVD—£69.95
