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 & 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". |

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. |

BRETT DANIELS One-of-a-kind reputation maker. Russian Roulette meets the Gallows. The audience becomes the executioner in this larger-than-life-and-death game of chance. A large metal oversize scaffold is seen displaying 6 fully functioning gallows, each independent from one another, and each with a fully functioning trapdoor. Six heavy ropes are attached from a framework high above the scaffold platform - each rope suspending one of six “crash test dummies” awaiting an uncertain fate. After a quick demonstration of the “reality” of the structure – the magician climbs the 13 steps up a staircase and takes the place of one of the six dummies atop the scaffold, but only aftervafter the audience chooses his position in the line. Hands are tied behind the back and the noose is secured around the neck as the game of chance begins . . . An audience volunteer rolls the dice…each number that comes up leads to the corresponding numbered gallows trapdoor to be opened. One by one as tension builds the 4 or 5 dummies atop the platform violently fall and crash through the trapdoor, each hanging from the end of a rope, leaving only one dummy – and the performer - remaining. One more roll of the dice… Note: The Nightmare at the Gallows prop offered here does not include the AGA Levitation unit required to accomplish the Levitation efx seen at the end of the sequence. The prop is built to accommodate any standard appropriate AGA levitation prop to be used in conjunction with the sequence, or the sequence can be presented without a levitation efx at the conclusion if the performer chooses to end the sequence with the “free-fall” visual hanging. (the AGA used in this video is a single-unit standard Willie Kennedy model, but again any appropriate AGA unit can be used) This prop was built with the very highest standards and professional materials and engineering requiring a full time staff over 6 months and a cost of $80,000 (see photos) and is in excellent condition. Fabricated by the same team that also contributed to the BDP Appearing Fighter Jet. Detailed photos of the 6 month fabrication process can be seen at the end of the live performance video. |

& CASES BILL SMITH MAGIC VENTURES Very strong effect – a girl enters an artistic structure displaying a metallic copper sarcophagus with both hands seen extending out the front. A sword is used to sever her head and slice, or “shred” the sarcophagus, which falls apart into six thin slivers, or wedges, opening like a starburst. The head box then descends independently and is placed on one end of a platform, then opened to reveal her very much alive and real head. The head reveal never fails to get an audible gasp and shriek from an audience. This illusion was created in its earlier incarnation by Brett Daniels in 1994 and performed on ABC’s Champions of Magic in 1997. This 2.0 model is brand new for 2019 with additional design elements, radio controlled hands, improved hardware supporting the intricate ‘slide and separate” assembly as many upgrades with all the bells and whistles along with very significant after-market work done after delivery. Includes performance rights https://vimeo.com/369007839
