 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 Once all is in place, the roof is opened & all kind of productions loads can be withdrawn ending in a live person.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.

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.
