PACKAGE DEAL TIM CLOTHIER REVOLVING TIP OVER BOX AND PLATFORM Unique version of the Tip Over Box production was built by Tim Clothier in Las Vegas. It can be used to make a client's product, a birthday cake, or any number of items magically appear and is limited only by your imagination. In effect, the box sits elevated above the stage on a diamond plated steel platform. Built into platform is a lazy-susan style rotator, so the box can be revolved and shown from all sides, without having to spin the entire prop. Box is flipped forward and the lid is opened to show that the box is completely empty. Box is tipped back, the lid is opened and a large quantity of items is magically produced. What makes this especially unique is that, for a finale, the box can be revolved again and then completely removed from the table, leaving a large final production item sitting on the table - in full view of the audience. Prop also features optional side wings that provide the angle coverage of a double tip over. As the box is removed from the platform, the side wings fold down flat. Both illusions fit in a custom carpet lined wood case on wheels with hinged lid latches, built by Basaw Manufacturing. The case alone is worth $500. |

AND PENETRATION EDF MAGIC This original, one of a kind illusion is perfectt for stage and platform. It is a one-man illusion that fits in the trunk of a car, yet is unique and packs a very big punch. In effect, the magician is chained to two large, industrial upright metal posts. Five chains run through rings on the post and are secured in front of the magician with five different style locks. Giving the audience a lesson in escape, the magician visibly picks two of the locks (gimmicked locks included), allowing the chains to fall away. Then, creating a magical twist for the end, a four sided cloth is lifted up around the magician, keeping his legs from the knees down visible at all time (this can be done by two audience members). Almost instantly, the cloth is dropped to reveal that the magician has magically passed through his restraints and is now free of the remaining three chains. This is the only one that has been built. The prop is made entirely of aluminum. Marketing and building rights remain with the designer. Includes custom escape platform, chains, locks, curtain frame, and curtain. No case included. Pickup in Los Angeles is also welcome. |

JAY MATTIOLI BRAND NEW - MEGARITA is a jumbo sized glass, filled with whatever you like, that vanishes in mid air! Limited only by your imagination, use this giant glass for any liquid magic routine and then vanish the entire glass and contents. Included is Jay's original "Megarita" routine: Standing on a small table is a GIANT, 17 inch tall by 12 inch round, margarita style glass, filled to the brim with Jimmy Buffett's favorite refreshment. You begin to garnish the margarita by shaking some salt out of a salt shaker around the brim of the glass, and then pour the entire contents of the salt shaker straight into the drink. Then in one big slurp, you drink more than 2/3 of the margarita in one shot. With a mouth filled with the icy beverage, you reach between your lips and begin to pull out a long, lime green streamer, 25ft long! You bunch up the streamer and from the bundle you pour out all the salt that was previously mixed in the drink, completely dry! For a killer finale, you cover the giant glass, still filled with some liquid, with a beautiful foulard, carry to the edge of the stage, throw the cloth in the air, and cause the giant glass and liquid vanish in a blink! This routine can be adapted or changed to fruit punch, milk, or whatever, pouring sugar into the glass and then reproducing the sugar from the streamer. Or, once you produce the streamer, the streamer can be used to produce any load that will fit within the folds of the streamer. This is all taught on the included instructional DVD. Also explained is a white and red wine transposition effect which you can also perform to lead into the vanish of the jumbo glass filled with wine! Complete with jumbo margarita glass, table, foulard, mouth coils, (6 each red and lime green), straw, DVD and extras. |

MARK SCHOCK Custom Reinforced chair and board - Robert Harbin Chair Suspension is the finest ever produced. Rarely is there an illusion that will mystify when performed completely surrounded; on a fully lit stage; clear of all drapes. Harbin Chair Suspension is just such an illusion! Place two chairs face to face. A board is next placed on top of the chair-backs. Volunteer from the audience reclines on the board and is covered with a cloth. Remove the chair from his/ her feet, and now remove the board leaving your audience volunteer suspended in air! Everything is returned to its original place, the spectator returns to the audience and you get a tremendous round of well-deserved applause! Note these important features: Outer shell board folds for better transport. 300+ pound lifting capacity. Use anyone from the audience kid or adults without fear of an unsteady illusion Board should be centered but you dont need to be as accurate as other suspensions. This allows you more flexibility should you want to set it up in front of your audience. Reinforced body contoured support / harness allows for the persons center of gravity to change and balance in a more natural way. Although sometimes recommended the volunteers head does not have to hang uncomfortably off the chair and board. Support on which the spectator rests has been made extra strong and contoured to give them a feeling of stability. You can walk entirely away while the person is suspended No assistants required other than the spectator from the audience Almost no rehearsal; absolutely no set-up!. This amazing illusion packs flat and can be sent or transported anywhere in the world! Comes with two fiber / foam lined cases, folding chairs, support, cloth, board and even a pillow. |

SPECTATOR SAWING & ATA CASE CRAIG DICKENS Purchased illusion new from Craig Dickens with performance rights paid to Jim Steinmeyer. Mark Kalin and Jinger have performed the new Surgical Slice Spectator Sawing in Half, as part of their Halloween show with great results. A small woman or child from audience is sawn in half. Kicker is that the blade, which looks similar to bow-saw handle & blade, is signed by the volunteer before the penetration; at the end of the routine, the volunteer is surrounded by the handle and blade with a tremendous surprise. Blade that has clearly passed through the volunteer's body is the same signed blade - and it really is the same blade! VERY GOOD CONDITION |

WITH STEPS & ATA CASES CREATIVE LLUSIONS This prop comes in two Clydesdale cases and is in absolutely immaculate condition as they've only been out of the cases a handful of times. For those in the know, this set of table and stairs are the most deceptive in the business. Large enough to conceal three people yet looks impossibly thin. And you can see THROUGH the stairs! Illusion comes with a large frame that spins freely on the table base allowing you to draw things on the paper and make them come to life by pulling them through the painting. Ending with production of up to three people. Table and stairs were designed to allow for an infinite amount of effect possibilities ranging from the mentioned artist dream effect to transpositions to magician appears in audience' type effects utilizing the deceptive stairs. Possibilities are endless. If you know Creative Illusions you know they don't get made much better. We're having to make room for more items and regrettably must let it go. Buyer pays shipping or can be picked up in Las Vegas. OPENING BID $3,599 Plus Shipping or Pick UP in Las Vegas ITEM# L48316 |

BILL SMITH A Unicorn and rider enter the large royal fairy-tale themed box thru the side door. Magician makes a magic gesture. A flash pot explodes and the horse and rider disappear in front of the audience eyes leaving the box empty. All sides of the box are immediately dropped proving that real magic has occurred. This method was used by Siegfried & Roy to vanish a bull on T.V. They also used it in their regular show to vanish a horse. Lance Burton used this method to vanish a car. I bought the performance rights from Harry Blackstone, I also got Lances permission as well. It comes with a halter for the horse that has a custom made unicorn horn attached. If you don't want to use a horse as a unicorn it is a simple matter of replacing the front scrim. There is also an additional scrim that was not in place for this photo. When the additional scrim is in place you can not see the back door in the prop. Also the fabric on the back wall needs to be restretched but this is simple to do but was not done for the photo. When I used this illusion, I advertised on billboards Live Unicorn Vanish and it sold a lot of tickets. This is a Grand Illusion for a Grand Illusionist. |

BILL SMITH MAGIC VENTURES This is the most deceptive Elastic Lady/Rubber Girl ever created. It is the same style and method that was used by Siegfried & Roy for many years at the Mirage Casino. The prop splits in half down the middle and a girl steps onto the platform, then inserts her arms and legs out the side and her head out the center. The magician then turns her head 360, then throws her arms down to the bottom of the prop, then lifts her legs to the position that her arms were formally. It is an amazing visual that moves her body parts in six different directions. The prop has normal wear but is in overall great condition and being made by Bill Smith it is made to last.

WATER LEVITATION JOHN GAUGHAN He built two of them. The first one was a pro-to type that he use to work out all the problems, then destroyed it and built this one. It was used in many of his Television, broadway and touring shows. THIS WAS DOUGS FAVORITE ILLUSION. When doug sold me the illusion he made a tape for me decribing how he created the illusion while siting in a laundry mat in Canada. In the tape he said girls actually cry when they see the woman floating on the water because it is so beautiful. When Doug retired, he sold most of his illusions, at a private auction. However he held on to several of his most prized possessions in the event he decided to return to stage. This is one of those prized illusions. I bought it and the worldwide rights to perform it from Doug for $65,000. I then had the giant columns made to create a spectacular set around the illusion. When Coppefield wanted to do it on his TV special he got permission from me. I paid $40,000 for the set seen in the picture. This is an important piece of magic history. The Illusion is as deceptive to an audience today as it was when Doug premiered it. It has been a featured illusion in the Kirby VanBurch show for over 20 years and has been professionally restored and maintained. Included are 2 short columns & 2 large columns with arches as seen in the photo, professionally orchestrated music, choreography and routine. no cases. Also included is a charming never before heard tape that Doug made while in India and sent to Kirby VanBurch explaining how he created it & how to perform it. |
