Clever, Quiet and Different

This is a great gimmick that causes a spectator’s watch to move forward in time very quickly. The gimmick is almost totally silent and fits neatly into a card case.

I don’t know how this works, but it is very cool to watch! The only problem I’ve found with it is that the placement of the watch on the card case is important and if you don’t get it close enough to the center of the gimmick, nothing happens. And of course that is not as impressive!

Easy and Mystifying

Bazar de Magia have a great line of magic, which for the most part, is good quality and a bit different. This effect is a real fooler, yet very easy todo – and takes almost no practice.

Basically, you can ask a spectator to name their favorite time. You then give them the hand and ask them to place it on the dial and spin it fast. When it stops it stops on their chosen number! It can be repeated with a different number too.

I think you could use this as a prediction effct if you combined it with Killing time.

Always a winner and now close-up too!

I’ve been using my Card Duck for almost 30 years and it has proven to be one of my most enduring and entertaining routines.

This little guy from Collector’s Workshop is almost as easy to use, but its small for close-up performances too. Well made, good mechanism. A real hoot that ultimately depends on how much you put into the presentation.

Sweet Surprise!

This is a clean effect with wonderful props. Five cards are shown four blank and a spot card. Also a piece of wood with 5 tacks embeded in it. You also show a cover with a large piece of wood going through it.

The piece of wood is shown to be clearly empty as is the cover. The wood with the tacks is held by a spectator under a hanky … then it happens. The card dissappears, a tack breaks off from the ones embedded in the wood, only to appear inside the cover.

Great magic.

Another clever idea from Alan Warner

Nice props and a clever idea. The red block keeps jumping from side to side inside the box. We want it in the middle! Of course you do. And bingo, there it is. There is certainly no room for the blocks to turn over in the box.

Nice method and great props!
