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. |

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. |

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. ![]() $9,445 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". |

BACKSTAGE WITH THE MAGICIAN WELLINGTON ENTERPRISES This illusion was used on stage for 3 corporate events and 1 casino promotional event - in excellent condition. Magician apparently lets 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 is 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 this illusion incorporates several unique features, making it very easy for executive to effectively participate in the illusion. Boxes are also designed to permit a graceful exit for person produced, avoiding an awkward climb out. VERY GOOD CONDITION |
