I love Attaboy, but this is not as convincing. The inspiration for this effect comes from the old Jack Hughes effect: Attaboy. However, in my opinion it is not as convincing as Attaboy by quite a long margin. The device is made well enough in strong plastic and the art work for the eye is …
5 out of 5 Beautiful Rare Close-up Version of a ClassicI remember when I started in Magic, the first "real" catalog on magic I owned was Abbott’s. There was one effect I loved but couldn’t afford it at the time. That was Jack Hughes’s Cube on Release. This piece by Jim Riser is a "miniature" …
Cube-on Release was created by Jack Hughes c. 1961. _EF This piece by Jim Riser is a “miniature” rendition of Cube-on Release and it’s beautiful. The frame is solid dark walnut construction and the cube, a contrasting light colored maple. The natural wood finish is a first in this version. I believe all Cube on …
This is the finest Coin Stand I have owned. It looks deceptive, works very smoothly and has the unique ability to produce 4 coins back on the stand at the end! The holes drilled beneath each coin make the illusion even more convincing. The coaster idea for making the coins appear in the glass is …
The Elusive Rabbits or Hippity-Hop Rabbits was invented by The Great Norman (Norman Hazeldene) c. 1947. Norman sold the rights to Harry Stanley when Harry was in partnership with Jack Hughes and Arthur Dowler and they released the first version in early 1947. The effect was a big success. Davenport’s released their first version c. …
4 out of 5 The more expensive it looks the more fun!When it comes to clatter boxes, the more real the box looks the better the impact on the audience. This box doesn’t use the typical Jack Hughes approach, but rather a magnet in the top which can be on or off. Nice prop, that …
This effect was invented by Jack Hughes’ c. 1947 as The Lady Vanishes. Jack based it upon an earlier similar effect with a glass he also invented called Back Stage Beaker Vanish c. 1946. Both of these effects have been widely copied over the years with the names often switched (as in the case of …
_EF This is much like Jack Hughes’ Clatter Box. A small box is shown and some coins. The spectator is asked to choose any coin and drop it into the slot in the top of the box. When they do the whole box explodes and breaks apart. Make them really jump!
This is a clever variation of the Change-Over Ring that was created by Jack Hughes and/or Tom Sellers as described here. _EF Allow your spectator to completely examine a case that is divided into three rooms, and have him screw three metal nuts and bolts into the case. Your spectator locks his own finger ring …
The Legs Table was invented by British comedy magician Arthur Dowler c. 1949 with ideas from Harry Stanley and Yimka who actual built it. Jack Hughes refined the original model to a smooth working piece of apparatus. This comedy prop was a great favourite of the late, great Tommy Cooper and Jack Hughes manufactured the …
