SHADOW BOX
(CABINET MAKER)
In this version, you or an assistant open
4 doors to show the lit frame empty. Doors are then closed,
light turned off and the light comes on again by itself. Shadows
start to form on the front screen and either you or an assistant
opens up the door and steps out. Or you could replace the front
fabric (muslin which is stapled in the frame) with paper and
crash thru it. Built by a professional cabinet maker. This model
breaks down (Base, 4 posts, 4 doors & Top) to make it a little
easier to transport. No tools are required to assemble it except
for possibly a rubber mallet to help put the top onto the 4 posts.
Since portable lights have improved a great deal since this
was last used (we had a motorcycle light hooked up to a battery!)
you will need to add some light bar or strip of LED's of your
choice.

TELEPHONE BOOTH
(UNKNOWN BUILDER)
This actual classic telephone booth
is a PERFECT authentic stage prop that actually does something
and was originally designed as a themed stretcher illusion for
a Disney type production with child performers and as such, the
trap in the bottom is quite small as are the openings for the
head, arms and feet. I redesigned the booth with a black art
escape from the rear and used it to change from a little person
version of me back to the full-size version of me. Comes in a
rolling, wood packing case.
Approximate loaded weight
500 lbs.

HEAD CHOPPER
(UNKNOWN BUILDER)
A chopper device is displayed,
and carrots are placed in the neck and two hand holes. The blade
is slid down the track and cuts the three items in half. Assistant
from the audience places their neck and wrists into the stocks
of the chopper device and the top is locked in place holding
the assistant in place. After some comedy and byplay, the blade,
which protrudes from both sides of the device, is pushed down
through the neck of the spectator, and then slid back up and
out of the stocks. The assistant is left unharmed. This chopper
has been used in many shows but still looks very good. It is
a slightly smaller device and as such, the neck opening size
is reduced so it is perfect for a smaller person / teen assistant.
No packing case but can be diassembled with wing nuts.

ARABIAN TENT ILLUSION
(UNKNOWN BUILDER)
Besides going by the name "Arabian
Tent Illusion" is also was marketed by my old boss Paul
Osborne as "Spook House" from the pages of Tom Palmer's
popular book, "Modern Illusions." It has also been
called Victory Carton illusion. It is so lightweight, simple
in appearance. On the stage sits a folded, flat house. Piece
by piece the sides & top are shown completely flat &
innocent as the house is assembled. Once all is in place, the
roof is opened & all kind of productions loads can be withdrawn
ending in a live person. With this prop you can also perform
the ghost switch as described in Mark Wilson's course in magic.
The house weighs maybe 5 lbs. This is not a flimsy cloth prop,
but a rigid wooden framed house that will fit in the smallest
cars & can be carried in backstage under your arm. Truly
the most practical illusion you will own & use at an extraordinary
price.

Some are not shown, since they are crated,
such as the Sword Box with seven flaming swords, and our Base
for Asrah Levitation with three sets of legs for floor, knee
and waist high base usage. The two large black carpeted towers
are filled with literally hundreds of tricks and props (actually
four parts, top two being audio-visual for devices, including
six connected walkie-talkies, two Moon-Flowers, four Strobe lights,
two fog machines, and all charging and power supplies). |
MAGIC & ILLUSION
SHOW
(UNKNOWN BUILDERS)
I am retired and my entire garage and more
is full of large illusions, stage props, stage tricks, and all
the extras needed for an act. The photo in front of garage shows
the Asrah Levitation, Tip-Over Trunk, the Auto-Creo, the Gingerbread
House, Flip-Flop, Death of the Vampire, Iron-Maiden, Triangular
Mystery, Box-Escape with Stairs large enough for a 190 pound
person) and others. Some of the large illusions were given to
me by other professional magicians, some were custom made (like
our Asrah Levitation from Klamm for a 5'7'' girl), some were
built by builders in Miami for us using plans from Rand Woodbury
(such as the base for one, two, or three people appearance, the
Auto-Creo, The Death of a Vampire, and the Flip Flop). The stage
tricks in the two towers include: duck pans, chick pans, mirror
boxes, Take-away-boxes, Doves-to-Rabbit, Duck Bucket, No-Way
Spider Web, Appearing bird cages, Jail House Vanish, Newspaper
Dove Vanish, Vanishing Bird Cage, Fire Bowl, Beer-to-Cola, Flower
and Candle Productions, Card castle, and silks, scarfs, and all
props needed for many other stage or parlor magic tricks. In
addition, many large stage props, like our two life size coffins
with rolling platforms strong enough to carry people to the stage
in, and Pea Souper (Capable to fill entire stages with dry ice
fog are all included). The buyer needs a large truck. I will
give all items listed and many more to them. Curtains, cloths,
tables, and needed stage decorations are included. Some one will
get a great deal. |

SPEAR CABINET
CUSTOM BUILT
Assistant squeezes into a small cabinet
on the top of a table. 8 spears are then slid through the prop
from side to side. Front and back doors are opened to show that
the assistant has disappeared and the only thing left are the
spears running side to side through the cabinet. Custom built
from the Jack Hughes World of Magic book plans with a modified
Alan Wakeling base design to help make it more deceptive. Original
design called for a wood grain base with a black cabinet. Design
has been switched to make the prop more deceptive with the wood
grain on the top container and base in black. Bolts and wing
nuts hold it together and prop folds completely flat. In this
state, it measures 45.5" x 31.5" x 12.5" - Terrific
beginning illusion, it is lightweight, goes together and comes
apart quickly and can be performed surrounded. No case, will
need to be boxed or crated. Packs Flat, Lightweight, Jack Hughes
/ Wakeling Style Design - No mirrors, No black art. You are really
seeing straight through. Doors closed, spears removed and assistant
reappears unharmed and maybe a costume change? |

STACK OF BOXES
(UNKNOWN BUILDER)
This came from a professional in the greater Los Angeles area.
We had it custom painted with automobile paint for $400. We added
a 5th wheel to the base, as Billy McComb taught to allow the
illusion to move effortlessly while the assistant is inside.
Those oversize wheels are durable and valued at about $150 total.
Illusion boxes are metal on the sides, which makes them both
lightweight and durable. Easy for one person to lift and stack
one on top of the other, for the finale production of the assistant.
Colors are great for a 4th of July show. Also, by adding ribbon
to the sides of the boxes, they look like gift boxes for a Christmas
or Holiday presentation. We added some innovation (IP), for the
Christmas shows we present. Buyer is granted live performance
rights to that custom addition. (IP rights retained by the inventor.)
We produced a "North Pole", once the boxes were stacked.
Easily removed thru the top of the boxes, the pole is solid and
over 6' tall. THEN, the assistant is magically produced. For
a LARGE Production Box, use just the base box. Open it at the
top and front, to show a blue box inside. Close the front door
and lift the blue box out of the top of the box, showing that
box solid on all sides and take a production item out of it.
Then, produce as many production items as will fit from inside
the red base box!!! That box and idea was a custom project. Buyer
is granted Live Performance Rights of that innovation. (IP rights
retained by inventor.) Located in Arizona - we will deliver to
Phoenix or pick up in local area. |

ARTISTS DREAM EASELS
WITH LEVITATION TABLE
& ATA CASE
(CUSTOM BUILT)
This was the levitation sequence in my
show (used in conjunction with a Aga Levitation Device, also
for sale in the known builders section here on this site). Though
we used these easels as part of our levitation sequence, this
could easily be a stand alone routine. The big easel on the left
is where you draw the picture of your girl and then she punches
through the paper. It has dimmer controlled lights which really
help when the stage is darkly lit. The table in the center is
where my girl would lay down to levitate and at the end we did
the Asrah vanish, but with a different method than most magicians
use. The cover cloth for the girl is also included. The smaller
easel on the left was just used as scenery, but you could easily
make this easel into a magical effect that fits into the routine.
All of this was professionally built in house by professional
furniture builders and all
3 pieces pack flat into 1 ATA case. Also
included is large roll of butcher paper for the easels. |
