KID'S MAGIC
SKETCH-O-MAGIC by DAVID GARRARD
It's visual, magical, and simple to do. It requires no set-up, and you can learn to do it in five minutes. And it will fool and entertain your audiences! Show an artist's sketch pad. As you flip through the pages, you point out that you've drawn a different face on each page. Funny faces. Happy faces. Puzzled faces. Goofy faces. And each page is precut into three segments to create a flip-book, where you can come up with lots of combinations and colors by flipping to different pages.
You show them how they can pick out the top of a head from one picture. Then, flip through the middle strips to find a nose from another picture. Then, flip through the pages to find a chin. This gives you dozens of different combinations and creates some comical pictures. Hand an envelope to a spectator, and tell them that you'll open it in a few minutes. Then, flip through the first strips until a spectator tells you to stop. You've got the top of the head. Then, a second spectator selects a middle section by the same method. And finally, as you flip through the bottom strips, a third spectator tells you when to stop. You've created a unique and funny picture with the help of the audience.
Ask the spectator to open the envelope you gave him earlier. And--yes, it's true--he pulls out a picture, which matches perfectly the audience's selection! This is strong, visual magic, which gets the audience involved. Great for close-up or stage. It's Sketch-O-Magic! You'll flip over it!
ITEM # EE003B PRICE $25.00
A silver TV is placed over a child's head. The cover is removed to the announcement, "And now the star of our show..." This proves that the box is empty with the exception of the child's head. The cover is replaced and the child gets out of the box. No sooner does the child get out of the box then the cover is removed and a rabbit is produced.
The box comes with a place for you to make up some funny commercials using construction paper. This can be done before you reveal the child's head. If you don't have a rabbit you can use a large load of spring flowers, silks, doves, etc.

This is one of the classic effects of Magic, as popular and effective today as it was hundreds of years ago when it was first created. We supply you a quality outfit, in a large 14" size, suitable for a large audience.
The magician displays a pair, of sticks, with a cord apparently running through them. When the cord is pulled at one end, the opposite end is pulled in, and vice-versa. The audience is obviously unimpressed, till the two sticks are separated at the top, to show there is no connection between them. Again as you pull one end of the cords, the other end is pulled in, and so on. The audience will soon tell you that the cords pass through the bottom of the sticks, where they are held together
Once again the sticks are separated at the bottom, and you show them both separately, with no connections between them of any sort. In spite of this, the cords behave as one continuous length of string, with one end receding as the other end is pulled out. This is a first rate children's item, with excellent comedy potential.

ADAIR'S CROWN JEWEL - STAGE SIZE
An excellent routine for children's entertainers, conceived by Ian Adair, the props for this comprise of a cut out crown with a large jewel, and a safe.
The crown is at first covered with a cloth or opaque silk. The performer states that the Queen owns a very valuable crown and in its center is a priceless jewel. He further states that when the Queen is not wearing her crown she asks for the priceless jewel to be removed and placed inside the special security safe. He opens, first the first door ... it's not there. He opens the second door and points as if it is there, but it isn't. The priceless jewel has gone missing. Then he uncovers the crown to show that the jewel is there, set in the center of the crown. He removes the jewel, pokes his fingers through the big gap and recovers the crown. He places the jewel inside one of the compartments of the double door case (safe) closing the door. Here the usual tipping from one side to the other takes place, ala the Die Box. The jewel has gone! Perhaps someone has stolen it! Each door, one at a time being opened for the fun, then both... It Has Gone! Where can it be?
He rushes over to the silk covered crown, whips the silk off ... but it is not there. He covers it again, gets the children to shout out the magic words etc. and yes... when revealed, its back in position, set in the center of the crown. (It is not necessary to cover it, you can have the Jewel re-appear visibly if you prefer.)
We have produced the props in durable wood, painted and screened in bright colors, to bring you a quality model of a novel and new routine which children's performers will love. The Crown is approx 16" long, and stands 8" high. The Jewel is a large 3.5" diameter. The folding base is 12" long and 7" wide. The safe measures 9" long, 2" thick, and 4.5" high.
These are two complete different effects - The Crown which works like Forgetful Freddie, (you can eliminate the safe and vanish the jewel in a change bag if you prefer), and the safe (like the die box, which you could use with a Jumbo Coin as a different trick). Together they combine into a perfect routine. The effect is supplied complete with all required props, and instructions.
ITEM # SS004 PRICE $90.00
Every now and then we see a trick that truly needs improvement. We have completely improved in material, looks and size the Bunny Box. Because the Bunny Box was off the market for a long time we felt compelled to do our own version of this trick. When the Bunny Box came back on the market it was greatly improved and we still sell it; however we feel that ours is such a great improvement we are going to still carry both.
Our Deluxe Bunny Box is one inch wider, three inches longer and two inches higher. We use a higher quality wood and our box is screwed together. Our box is completely silk screened and has no spray-on designs. The paint on our box is high-grade automotive lacquers. I realize that it is a bit more expensive than the standard Bunny Box but it is well worth the price difference.
In the effect a slate is shown and a bunny is sketched on to it. The front door of the Bunny Box is opened and you see it is empty with the picture of the rabbit inside. The next time the door is opened a live rabbit or you can use a puppet is produced.
