DREW TOWNSEND An original and totally unique 2-in-1 illusion. Elevator Appearance allows for the visible appearance of the performer from an empty cabinet. Shrinker magically shrinks a person, such as turning an adult into a child. I initially commissioned the Shrinker from illusion builder Drew Townsend for my Millennium Magic show performed at Calaway Pa. That presentation had me shrinking down into my then 7-yr old son who resembled a miniature version of myself. I was able to use in this format for several more years until, as fate would have it, my son outgrew the prop. $3,055 ITEM# L54560 Plus Shipping - Canada |

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 "Flambé" 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. The illusion sets up in 20 minutes and a DVD is included, from Bill Smith's shop, with assembly and performance instructions. Also included are performance rights and 2 pro-grade Encore ATA cases on wheels. |

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! |

When the magician walks behind it, he is completely hidden, except for his legs, which remain visible under the mirror. There are two holes in the mirror and the magician places his hands through them. He is handed a rolled-up cloth which he allows to unroll. The cloth is then held up and immediately dropped. The magician has penetrated the mirror and is now standing in front of it! This particular illusion
is unique in that a beautiful gold frame was added. Also custom
wheels were added for easy mobility during performance. The mirror
is made with real glass which adds to the mystery. Original $ 9,000 OPENING BID |

MIKE MICHAELS A single Jaw is perched above you. You are clamped to a upright platform by your ankles, wrists, waist and a face restraint. Each restraint can be slightly different on how to undo it: whether it's to pick a lock, undo a rope, have a cable tie, or pins. This new escape is held by an unusual new method: air pressure. You explain to the audience that the air tank pumped up to and holding 120 PSI and it is activating the manual switch to operatel pneumatic brakes to hold the Jaw above the performer. After the performer is strapped in, an audience member or stagehand cuts the airline. You see the airline wisps around as the pressure escapes from the tank. As soon as the pressure is low enough, pneumatic brakes will release and the Jaw will come crashing down into the performer's body. Of course, the goal is for the performer to escape by whatever means necessary and jump off the platform before the Jaw completes its mission. There are many safeties built into this effect as well as an offstage dead man's switch on remote as an additional safety factor. $11,100 Plus Shipping ITEM# L54478 |

SPIKE TOWER ESCAPE
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". |

THROUGH A CD-ROM PENETRATION AND ATA CASE CUSTOM BUILT Murray the Magician original "Through A CD penetration"as performed on Masters of Illusion network television series. Effect: magician places a CD or similar thin item in between the center of the two funnels. Magician then turns on the lights which are located above, below and on the back of the illusion they are powered by a motorcycle battery hidden within the illusion. The magician then crawls through the funnels from one side to the other. Thus shrinking his body through a tiny hole in the Compact Disk! The illusion is fully self contained and requires no power from an outlet. The frames that hold the lightbulbs are polished aluminum and look fantastic. This illusion is incredible & highly visual! It can be turned all around prior to the performance. It provides for an amazing press photo. Illusion has seen a lot of shows but is in good condition and ready to perform. Comes with an ATA case that is well worn with many miles still left to go. The illusion was professionally built. |

WELLINGTON ENTERPRISES This illusion was used on stage for 3 corporate events and 1 casino promotional event and is in excellent condition. Magician apparently lets his audience have a behind-the-scenes look at how he produces his assistant. Illusion is turned around, giving the audience a view from the back and the magician faces the back wall of the stage, performing to an imaginary audience. Audience sees the assistant hiding and sees exactly how the trick works. But, when the production from the box is made, although the audience saw the assistant crawl into the box, she is gone and a man produced instead. Audience has been completely taken in and fooled. This is another great illusion for industrial presentations, featuring the production of an important executive as the surprise finish. This version of this illusion incorporates several unique features, making it very easy for the executive to effectively participate in the illusion. Boxes are also designed to permit a graceful exit for the person produced, avoiding an awkward climb out. VERY GOOD CONDITION |
