Soc-O-Magic #1

Just in time for the holidays, the Soc-O-Magic is the ideal gift for that eager magician or wizard on your list. The sock is simply stuffed with goodies. Start with a magic wand, add a thumb tip and instruction book, throw in a Magic Card Deck for good measure, and sprinkle over the whole thing a Cups and Balls set, a Coin Slide, a Fant-a-Stik, and a My Favorite Rope Trick, and - abracadabra! - you've got the recipe for enchantment. Each of the 8 items found in the Soc-O-Magic is a classic in its own right (check out our Magic Tricks page for more details), and, since they come in a cozy sock, they can hang all Christmasy from the wall or fireplace mantel. Plus, each sock is a generous, colorful twenty inches long, making them visible to even the sleepiest eyes come Christmas morning, and sealing instantly your reputation as the best Santa around. Feel free to grab one for yourself, too, if you're magically inclined or want to be - an unbeatable product at an unbeatable price comes but once a year!

Effect: This ghostly, mind-bending trick will leave them scratching their heads as well as glancing over their shoulders! Have a friend place a dollar bill on your outstretched palm, and watch their face as the money slowly, eerily folds itself in half, in half again, and finally into eighths � a marvelous effect. Instructions included.

Effect:An 18" needle with a ribbon threaded on it and a transparent balloon are shown. The spectator is asked to blow up the balloon while the magician cleans the needle with a cloth. The magician then proceeds to thrust the needle and ribbon through the balloon without it popping. The balloon is then tossed into the air and burst with the needle.
