SANDZ (OF THE DESERT) JAY MATTIOLI This piece of magic has been published in magic books and even sold in different variations and yet, at best, all you would receive is a few baggies of sand with some vague instructions. For the first time, the classic Sands of the Desert routine (aka Hindu Sands) is being released to the magic community as a beautifully detailed, entire package with absolutley everything you need to perform the effect! The effect is timeless and can be performed from 3 feet or 200 feet away from your audience. If you have been turned away from this effect in the past because the details and "things" needed to pull it off masterfully were missing. THIS TIME, JAY HAS DONE ALL THE WORK FOR YOU AND IS SHARING HIS UNIQUE TIPS AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH YOU. Resting on a custom table are three martini glasses filled with 3 vibrant colors of sand and a small pedestal upon which rests a large bowl filled with water. Showing his hands empty, magician places them in the water, swirling the water around, causing the clear water to turn black! Then one by one, magician pours each of the 3 colored sands into the water, swirling the water around each time. After all 3 sands are mixed up in bowl magician reaches back into the swamp like water with his empty hand and pulls out each individual colored sand, completely dry and separate from each other. Finally, with a swirl of empty hands, the black water turns back to clear!!! |

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. |

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! |
