The Raven, commonly referred to as “one of the best tricks of the last decade,” allows good magicians everywhere to perform visual vanishes the likes of which the world has never seen. Coins appear from nowhere and disappear into nowhere, they shrink, they change into entirely different coins, they change into entirely different objects! And to perform these amazing feats no “funny stuff” is required - no sleight-of-hand, no corniness. Simply show your wizardly hands, front and back, bare as a baby, and suddenly a coin appears! Or display a coin, a perfectly ordinary, glittering coin - and suddenly it disappears! Trust us: it is just that easy, just that natural; and many, many additional effects, with coins, bills, matchbooks, and playing cards (not to mention the famous and invaluable “Empty Hand Move”) can be performed as well. Instructions included.
One of the greatest close-up effects of all time. Perform the chop cup routine (detailed below) or the cups and balls rountine (as detailed above). Effect: A highly polished cup and a hand knit (crocheted) ball are displayed. Now the action begins. The ball vanishes, then reappears under the cup. A ball is placed in performer's pocket, yet it is discovered under the cup. For a startling climax, the ball changes into a lemon, orange, apple or a large ball. You can perform the above with only a limited amount of practice thanks to the clever construction of the apparatus supplied.
My buns are burning, my buns are burning! Imagine the look on their face when your ordinary, everyday wallet suddenly bursts into raging flames, without explanation. Talk about hot pants! The striker uses regular lighter fluid, but they'll never know how you did it; they'll beg and beg (as soon as the smoke settles), but all you'll say is, “I'm on fire today, I guess.” Instructions included.
