ASSISTANTS REVENGE ONE OF A KIND - Assistants Revenge with
Head Twister by Bill Smith - Good condition - In good working
condition but shows substantial wear. This is a one of a kind
custom assistants revenge with an added head twister effect built
by Bill Smith. This is an amazing illusion we have performed
for 20 years as a closer. Magician cages assistant in illusion,
wraps curtain around prop and assistant appears instantly on
outside of illusion and magician is trapped in illusion. ADDED
EFFECTS for this particular illusion is that the whole curtain
contraption will fall to the ground for reveal. I used to "blow
myself up" (flash pot) and the curtain would drop (in video).
Prop has been used for years as mentioned and then stored for
the last 5 or so. In performance condition but could use some
R&R. Cases included but some damage to them from years of
road travel. Professional working illusion that gets a GREAT
reaction. Original $5,000 |

SHROUDED TRANSITION One of the most incredible and jaw-dropping illusions ever devised, this was built by Greg Frewin himself. Purchased for and used for only one project (15 shows for audiences of up to 8,000 people) this prop is in almost new condition. Magician gets into the prop and crouches down, pushing his arms out thru openings in the sides of the illusion. A light comes on within to reveal the magician in position and two additional assistants crouch on either side of the box, holding the magicians hands in place. His assistant, wearing a large cape climbs a small ladder to stand on top of the prop. Light goes out, the assistant sweeps her arms forward and leans over for a fraction of a second, then immediately stands up and opens her arms, revealing the magician is now on top. Light comes on inside revealing the assistant is now the one in the box and it's her arms that the additional assistants are holding on to. This is the most stunning switch and revelation in magic and happens literally in the blink of an eye. You feel like you are seeing the assistant at all times in the cape but in a second the body is now that of the magician.

BUZZ SAW MANDRAKE - CUSTOM A thrilling version of the Sawing a Lady in Half using no cabinet or other cover. This illusion was originally commissioned by Leon Mandrake for his 1964 Pacific National Exposition performance alongside the Beatles, described in the Sheldon O'Connell book, Mandrake: Incomparable. It was also a prominent artifact featured in the Golden Age of Magic exhibit at the Royal Alberta Museum in 1977. I acquired it in 1990 from a third party and used it in several runs of my Johnny's House thrill-usion shoduring the subsequent decade. Prop is in good condition as seen in the photograph. It may have been repainted to remove logos, although I never painted while in my possession. I did have a checkerboard pattern etched into the top portion of the platform which the girl lies, which served to completely conceal the trap. Blade has had some oxidation; very likely restorable through a chemical bath and/or polishing process, although not necessary in terms of functionality - Works perfectly. Could be repainted as desired; however I preferred leaving it with its distressed appearance as something that looked like it came right out of an industrial warehouse rather than a glamorous stage prop. Prop breaks down into 6 pieces (header, two sides, saw support assembly, blade, bed). Includes road case for saw blade. Also includes leather straps, aluminum safety bar (as seen in photo) as well as fiberglass torso gimmick worn by assistant. Considering its functionality and collectable significance, it is easily worth $5,000. |

RING IN RACQUETBALL Effect: A racquetball is tossed into the audience to select a volunteer with a valuable finger ring. After racquetball is returned to magician, it is vanished. Magician comments that volunteer's ring is filthy, and offers to clean it with a "jeweler's hammer" to knock off the dirt. Ring is smashed to bits. Throughout the routine, a beautiful cherry wood box has been sitting onstage. It contains a "lovely parting gift." Opening the box, an inner box/cage is seen inside. Volunteer opens the cage, and removes another, smaller wooden box, covered in elastic bands. Upon opening the smallest cherry wood box, the volunteer finds what she lost only a few minutes earlier the racquetball used to bring her onstage! The Volunteer picks up an ordinary knife
from the table and hands it to the magician. He saws the racquetball
in half. Inside the ball is the spectator's ring, which she takes
back to her seat, along with both halves of the racquetball.
The volunteer, and the magician, humbly accept their enthusiastic
applause. |

APPEARANCE - VANISH TRASFORMATION One of a kind - expertly built by Bill Smith Magic Ventures, can be used for multiple appearance, vanish, transformation, and even metamorphosis routines on a thin platform 5 feet above the stage. Here are just a few examples: Transform two dancers into a motorcycle - Cause 4 company employees to magically transform into the company CEO - Magician magically appears on the platform, then, for a second surprising climax, his assistant appears on the platform on a full-size motorcycle - -Standing on the platform, magician holds a cloth in front of himself, and when it drops, he has transformed into his assistant Cloth is raised again, and the magician reappears, on the platform, on a motorcycle - company's large product, such as a stove or refrigerator, is made to instantly appear - Small toy sofa transforms into full size, on which sits the show's cast - Fire transforms into a helicopter - And this is just the beginning! Prop can be used to make any large object instantly appear or transform with rapid speed, with the movable load platform using the same bearings as DC's Motorcycle Shadow Box. This will support the weight, and function, with a full size motorcycle, a Mike Michael's Helicopter, a client's product (such as a refrigerator) and even a sofa full of people. Prop also features the ability to function as a "Flambe©" style effect, with a fire pad and snuffing system. It also includes 8 CO2 smoke jets and a wired remote control, if a smoke curtain, or a smoke burst, would like to be used during any of the effects. Also included is a curtain with poles to raise and lower in front of the prop. Production items, such as a motorcycle, are not included. |

CUSTOM A utility device for vanishing, producing and transforming people. Built by master finishing carpenter Brad Williams. This has an ingenious sure-fire mechanism that not only drops the black art cloth (masking the area between the two rear table legs) but draws it back up again as well. This allows the unit to be freely wheeled on and offstage at both the beginning and end of the effect permitting a clear view underneath and through all legs. Properly lit, yields a devastatingly astounding effect. As a utility prop, it can be themed as desired. Shown here with the decorative panels I added to give it a circus theme. Legs detach for packing. Includes a large black canvas floor cloth. Performance video at: https://vimeo.com/112546610 |

(TRANSFRORMATION) CUSTOM A Gorilla placed inside the cabinet is dissected by 5 large blades, eventually to emerge restored as a beautiful lady. Originally built by Micky Hades from plans in Paul Osbornes Illusion Systems Book Three. I re-themed the cabinet (as pictured above) for my Circus Magic show that I presented at Calaway in summer 1994. Breaks down flat into 4 sides, base and top, plus the 5 blades. There are also a dozen spears included from the original presentation, along with the African-themed top and front door panel. This prop was used in conjunction with the Gorilla Cage illusion, and may be found under the title Great Ape Escape also in the Paul Osborne book. |

BRUCE CHADWICK Set-up requires only 4 pin-hinges. I had my builder add some modifications specifically; a front cut-out panel and also a support frame mounted to the back so that spike cabinet assembly will support itself in leaned back position required when volunteer lies upon the table. Illusion is entirely practical and poses absolutely no danger to the person laying on the table. It is a simple illusion to perform, can be performed surrounded. For packing, the rectangular cabinet comes off table and is designed to fit under the table. This means that a packing case does not have to be much larger than footprint and height of the table proper. Illusion is very portable and practical. Entire illusion can be set-up in about a minute. Prop is in very good condition and includes wood construction road case. EFFECT: Through the cutout opening in the cabinet, the audience sees a bed of polished metal spears. Cabinet hinges backward and a person lays down on the table. Person to be skewed can be the magician, an assistant, or a spectator from the audience. Box is lowered back down over the person and the illusion is spun around completely to show all sides of the box. Two handles (one on each side of the box) are then engaged and the spikes are thrust down though the person. Due to the open front of the illusion, the entire action of the penetration is fully visible. Audience can also see the tips of the spikes protrude through the underside of the table. Spikes are then pulled back up through the person, cabinet is tipped backward, and the person is none-the-less for their penetrating experience! |
