SURROUNDED SHADOW
WALKING THRU A STEEL WALL

Built by EDF - In New Condition - One of a Kind
The Only One In The World

Perfect for the solo performer, this one of a kind illusion was designed to play big, but be practical to perform and pack efficiently. It can also be performed completely surrounded/in the round, with the audience watching from all angles. In this effect, 4 pieces of solid metal (aluminum) are examined and slid into a rack and strapped together, forming a solid 7ft tall by 5ft wide steel wall. Two three sided translucent enclosures are placed on each side of the wall, but the wall can be seen above and all around the screens at all times. Audience members can also surround the illusion closely from beginning to end. Magician enters one of the enclosures and then, in shadow (with onboard lights inside the enclosures), visibly passes through the wall, arriving on the other side. Instantly, the blinds fly up on the front of both enclosures together, showing that the magician is now on the other side of the wall, which can be inspected again.
This illusion goes together with eight bolts and the entire prop can be set up and disassembled in less than 10 minutes. This is the only one of these in the world. Manufacturing rights are reserved by the designer, a renowned touring illusionist,
Worldwide performance rights are included.

 

 VANISHING LUNAR ROVER
CUSTOM BUILT


This is a very unique prop in that it is completely Self
Contained and does not require the usual fly rigging for this
type of vanish.A 20-foot-high large aluminum elevator is rolled onto the stage. Magician drives an battery powered replica
of the Lunar Rover onto the stage then onto the platform and into a Space-themed aluminum cage. At magician's command two powerful motors lift cage with the Rover into the air. Magician waves goodbye and with a huge flash of light or pyrotechnic blast the cage falls open and the Rover and Magician have vanished. Naturally the magician may reappear with any effect they prefer. Rover, Elevator, Cage and Miscellaneous
props are all in crates with wheels. Pick Up in Las Vegas.

SPIKER
BILL SMITH MAGIC VENTURES


Spiker Illusion has been an audience favorite and is incredible, especially when performed with the right music and lighting. First, box sides and lid are removed by assistants, next, assistant climbs up steps and into box. Sides and lid are then placed back on and assistant's hand waves a handkerchief showing she is in box. Stairs can then be removed and table can be spun in any direction to show both sides to audience. Illusionist then lights spikes of doom on fire and pushes them into box using a roller track. Handkerchief is dropped and the assistants remove the sides revealing she has disappeared. Sides are then replaced and the spikes are removed and flames extinguished. Table can be spun around again and the stairs brought back for convenience as the big finish. 2 girls come out of the box and down the stairs. Illusion is in very good condition. High quality steel, built professionally to last many years. 9 feet long with stairs, 3 1/2 feet wide and stands 6 feet tall.

 TRIP TO THE MOON
MIKE MICHAELS

This is a fun and visually entertaining illusion involving audience participation. Magician brings a lucky child up on stage and explains how his parents used to take him/her on a trip to the moon every weekend when they were little. A covered machine is presented. When it is revealed, it is a coin-operated kid's ride you see in front of a grocery store. It is retro rocket-shaped with "MOON PATROL" written on the side.

Magician can dress child with a spacesuit and helmet. Magician gives the child full
list of instruction on how to operate it as if it were a "real" flying rocket. Magician
puts child into ride and inserts a coin into machine. Audience hears some exhaust ancient rocket sounds as it starts to rock very slowly. Our first bit of comedy as we all know the feelings as child gets in the ride and they were quite disappointing.

Magician adds an extra coin and it becomes a little bit faster. This is just a tease but
still funny. Finally, Magician puts a "magic" coin into the machine. All of a sudden
ride vibrates and breaks away from the base. Ride becomes a real flying rocket!

Rocket starts to change its position to point upward with smoke and sparks shooting
out as it launches to the moon. Rocket continues flies up and downward. finally Magician covers it with a cloth and the next thing you know, the rocket flies further up and away and the child and Rocket disappear as the rocket hits hyper speed.

Here is a new ending with moon. (You set up moon up high in beginning of routine. Magician asks child ahead of time to plant a flag when he/she lands on the Moon.) After rocket disappears, Magician is trying to make radio contact with child. Audience sees a little rocket starting to spin round the moon.

Magician: Are you at the Moon? Child: Yes.
Magician: Plant the flag. Then, a flag pops up from the moon. Magician: Are you on the Moon? Child: No, I am in the Moon. Magician: Say again? Child: I am "in" the Moon! Magician lowers the moon down and child is inside the moon!
It is a very good routine for a show with family audience.

 3001 SUSPENSION
WALTER BLANEY

"BLANEY 3001 SUSPENSION, 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 - (substantially more than the ladder levitation).
And, with the unfortunate passing of Walter several years
ago, and 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. 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.

 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.

 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.
