 3001 SUSPENSION
WALTER BLANEY

"BLANEY 3001 SUSPENSION, GREAT WHITE HOOP, CASES, AND RARE CASSETTE INSTRUCTION"

3001 Suspension is in excellent/like new condition. As performed by Paul Daniels, Silvan, and many other top professional performers, this is an extremely practical and powerful suspension of any member of the audience up to 150lbs
in weight - (substantially more than the ladder levitation).
And, with the unfortunate passing of Walter several years ago, these are no longer being manufactured.
This particular suspension allows the magician to do Walter's "360 Walk Around Move" apparently completely around the floating person, one of the reasons that Paul Daniels said he chose this particular illusion. The illusion is also totally self-contained and sets up easily in less than 10 minutes with just 3 bolts.
It can also be easily transported to shows.

 ORIGAMI
AND CASES
JOHN GAUGHAN

Truly one of the greatest illusions ever devised and one of the finest ever built. A small box (about a foot square) is seen resting on a table. Magician introduces a mirror which is attached to back of table to allow audience to see all around box at all times. Magician unfolds the box – origami style into a box large enough fo for a person to crouch within. A young lady is invited to climb into the box. Once inside the magician proceeds to fold the box back down into that tiny cube. To further complicate the matter, he then thrusts 3 samurai swords thru the box. The assistant has vanished - Swords are removed, the box quickly unfolded and immediately the young lady reappears from within. This prop has thrilled many audiences around the world and has normal wear and tear but is in good working condition. Includes 2 encore cases and a stand for the swords and mirror.

 HE'S COME UNDONE
CUSTOM BUILT

Based on Osbornes "She's Come Undone" this is a combo Zig Zag / Disembodied.
It does need some finishing work and the price reflects that. Larger build for a magician, much of it is finished in laminate. Basic effect is the performer enters the cabinet, the top box is slid to one side, the bottom box is slid to the other side. Doors are opened and the head is seen in the top box, legs in the bottom and the middle section is gone. Back door is opened and you can see straight through. Workings of this one is different then the original She's Come Undone.

 DOG PRODUCTION
AND ATA CASE
BILL SMITH

Illusion is extremely deceptive it has been performed close up
for audiences and they were amazed when the dog appears .
Great WOW factor. Operated by air hydraulics, so you need a compressor. The illusion is in excellent condition it does not break down it is 60 inches tall the top portion where the load for the dog is 36 x 36in. It has a tapered roof the highest point is 12 inches and the lowest is 4 inches . Glass box below is 27 x 27 x 27. The table base is 36 x 36 it is 28 inches off the floor. It never left my theater so it didnt Troop anywhere. I produce my golden doodle and he weighed 65 pounds . Works with an Air compressor to load dog up like an elevator and same lever to lower dog down into the glass box . Glass box has four roller shades that rolled down and are attached to one lever which releases all four roller shades at one time . this is a powerful illusion. Case for the illusion is 78.5 inches tall by 52.5 inches deep by 38.5 inches wide the case is an excellent condition.

He raises it again and the first foot is back but the other foot is gone. Then he raises it a third time and both feet are gone and the assistant seems to be suspended in mid air.

Attention Jack Hughes Collectors. This is a never used Jack Hughes Homicide Illusion. The protective film is still attached to the aluminum blades which indicates it's never been in a show. This is in excellent condition and includes all the items originally shipped with it. Blades, saw, pole and original ropes with gimmicks. Hard to find and impossible to find in this condition. The only wear is from it being moved/displayed. This would be a cherished piece for a Jack Hughes collector or could immediately hit the stage. I have a case to ship it in. It will be disassembled flat and each piece packed and wrapped carefully. Ready to ship!

 MINI LIONS BRIDE
PROLINE

Mini Lion's Bride - Doves to Dog/Rabbit. A beautiful prop and great way to end a dove act if you are looking for something different than the usual vanishing bird cage. Place up to 4 doves on perch and cover front of cage with red cloth. When cloth is removed, birds have vanished and a rabbit or small dog has appeared in their place. Once large appearance happens, the audience can see through prop in all directions as there is nothing to see. It's just a cage with bars holding your Dog/Rabbit production. Looks very lightly used and any of the wear is from being moved around. There is a small crack in the laminate on top platform and on corner of the plexi that is on rear of false panel. Also some oxidation on the wheel covers. This is never seen by the audience and none of this wear hinders the use of the prop. It's ready to go on stage immediately.

The illusion stands 89 inches tall from the floor . The base is
54 x 54 x 11 1/2 inches - the cabinet is 78 inches tall x 34 in.
I am 6 feet tall 160 pounds and I fit comfortably we have no cases for this illusion we could work out something wrapping and furniture pads it is big it is heavy prefer coming and picking it up in person. It would be shipped in two separate cases if it had to be shipped. The illusion is in excellent like new condition it will hold someone well over 160 pounds in weight but the hiding place would be somewhat tight at that weight.

 SPIKE TOWER ESCAPE
TELEPORTATION
& ATA CASES

BILL SMITH

Spike Tower Escape and Transposition with Silver Clydesdale ATA Cases - One of Three Ever Built - Spectacular Michael Grandinetti designed and licenced Spike Tower Escape, built by Bill Smith Magic Ventures and as performed by Michael on NBC's The World's Most Dangerous Magic TV special. Both the illusion and the cases are in new condition. In the presentation, magician, on an elevated platform 6 feet above the stage, is chained to a frame at his wrists, waist, and legs. On each side of the platform is a rack of foot long, razor sharp steel spikes, set to thrust together, after a specified time, directly at the magician. An enclosure is placed around the magician and the front blind is drawn, as the spike are lit on fire (optional). The enclosure is illuminated from the back and the silhouette of the magician can be seen making his escape - first getting each hand free, and then working on the waist chains. The performers real hands and arms are also seen extending from the top of the enclosure, as the escape progresses. Suddenly, the spikes are forcefully thrust together, where they are seen to hit the silhouette of the magician. Instantly, the blind at the front of the enclosure flies up, revealing that the magician has completely disappeared. Magician can then reappear in the audience or in a robe as one of "captors".
This illusion, standing nearly 12 feet tall, is truly a showstopper.
It is an extremely rare, a top quality prop.
NOTE: illusion is MUCH safer than a Table of Death, as there is no way for the spikes to accidentally hit the magician. They are fully controlled the entire time.
See the video of the illusion performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVvFPcr0SYM

Includes: 2 silver Clydesdale ATA cases on wheels & worldwide performance rights.
This proprietary piece is unavailable from any builder.
