METAMORPHOSIS TRUNK
MASTERCRAFT MAGIC - BRANSON 

Magician or assistant is placed inside the trunk, the trunk is locked on all sides, magician/assistant gets on top of the box, a curtain is raised and they instantly change places. This subtrunk was built by Mastercraft Magic in Branson, MO, its outside dimensions are 39x28x29 inches. Trunk is made of solid Butternut hardwood boards with brass screws rather than grooved plywood panels. The side panels and bottom are easily disassembled for packing. It utilizes a top access, can be examined by an audience member and does not require a key for release. Besides the trunk, the illusion comes with two heavy duty chains and 7 Master Lock Magnum padlocks all keyed alike. The curtain is not included. It’s listed in very good condition, because there are some nicks/scratches on the top and bottom otherwise it’s in like excellent condition.

DOUG MALLOY MODERN MAGIC

From the creative minds of Ed Alonzo,
Lynetta Welch, and Doug Malloy comes the Mini-Spiker, the next evolutionary step in the Cube Zag effect! This dramatic new illusion never fails to make an audience gasp in pure shock and amazement as they witness what can only be described as pure impossibility. Assistant gets inside cabinet and completely fills interior space. Front door is attached and performer proceeds to show audience Rack of Spikes. Spikes are lowered in the top of the cabinet; and the front door is then removed; the assistant is gone ----completely vanished! Only the spikes are visible. Cabinet is rotated 360 degrees showing the audience there is absolutely no place she can be! Front door is put back in place - Spike Rack is removed and set down. Dramatically performer whips off front door... top doors of cabinet fly open and the assistant is standing up inside the cabinet!

 MATRIX MIRROR
KATONA KRISSTIAN

An amazingly crafted illusion that will alter their sense of reality as you manipulate matter as putty in your hands. Very nicely crafted and lightweight for easy handling. Illusion is perfect for the stage. An incredibly visual effect, just waiting for a pro to put it to work. In a parlour situation spectators can watch and touch it from both sides. Magician shows the audience a large framed mirror. Black sack is placed over middle of the mirror. Spectators can still see the mirror protruding from both sides of the sack. Silk is produced and the performer pushes it through center of the sack and mirror. He then pulls the rest of the silk out from behind the mirror! But this is only the first wonderful effect! Now the spectators notice the sack is bulging and stretching as something moves between the mirror and the black fabric. Suddenly the magician's hand POPS out through the mirror and the sack! He wiggles his fingers and pushes his arm forward about 5 inches. Turning his body to the left the audience can see that his arm is penetrating the mirror! Magician pulls his arm out from the mirror and removes the sack to reveal that the mirror is perfectly unharmed! Audience can see both sides of the mirror. Transdimensional illusion! Easy to use with 18 page, full-color, photo-illustrated instruction book.

WATER TORTURE CELL
AND ATA CASE

OWEN MAGIC
This piece was built for a specific client who wanted the tank to be only two feet across inside. That means that the performer must escape in a very specific manor if the performer wishes to do the very dangerous inverted version of the routine. Performer must be in fantastic shape and not too big for the prop in order to do it well. However it does have a second top to do the standard upright escape. This illusion is the one in the Owen Magic catalogue picture. It can be done either right side up or upside down.
The purchaser of this illusion must assume all liability and risk associated with the escape as it is only for professional magicians that understand the risks associated with this illusion. Included are the tank and stocks, the custom dolly that I had made for moving the escape when it is full of water. It also includes the original ATA case for the prop. This is also a fantastic collector piece with a great history.

BACKSTAGE
WITH THE MAGICIAN & CASES
CHALET MAGIC

Concept - audience is "backstage" at a magic show. Audience thinks they see magician's female assistant sneak from one empty cabinet to another...but, when both boxes are nested, up through top pops a handsome male assitant, leaving no trace of the girl assistant! Spectators are sure they were right with you until the very end then... WOW!
Comes with nice flight crates on heavy duty casters to pack the prop in.
Prop shows wear and tear on the top fabric where assistants have walked on it and their is about a 2 inch split in the wood on the right trap door. (It does not show and doesn't affect the illusion in the least but this could be replaced to make it good as new.)

 

 SMOKE CHAMBER
CUSTOM BUILT

Plexi glass has a small hole in the back at the very bottom. We covered it with clear tape and it is not noticable from stage. To make it as good as new, a new plexi-glass panel would need to be installed. Base shows wear on the top under regular lights - ON STAGE IT - LOOKS FANTASTIC! Base stays together and sides and top unbolt and set under the base for packing.

The entire illusion can be seen performed from start to finish on http://www.bartrockett.com

REVOLVING TIP OVER BOX
AND PLATFORM
TIM CLOTHIER
 This unique version of the Tip Over Box production was built by Tim Clothier in Las Vegas last April. 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. What makes this especially unique is that, once the box is tipped back onto the platform, it can be revolved again, and then completely removed from the table, leaving the production item sitting on the table - in full view of the audience. Production item does not have to be lifted out of the box. Illusion also features the side wings that provide the angle coverage of a double tip over. As the box is removed from the platform, they fold down flat.

 VANISH AND SUSPENDED STEEL BOX REVEAL
TIM CLOTHIER

This multi-purpose, effect with unique reveal box was built by Tim Clothier in Las Vegas last April. This is a practical illusion that can be performed surrounded and will fit in the back of any car. A selected item (magician's force) is vanished from the folds of a cloth and reappears inside a steel case that has been suspended above the stage. Whenever desired, all four sides of the box fall open (and rest flat, perpendiculer to the box) to reveal either a hidden prediction or a (matching) vanished item. The box can the be lowered from the stand into the hands of the audience for retrieval. It can also be used to hold a prediction on display from start of show. All items are in good condition. The effect comes complete with vanish cloth, box, and stand. There is no case, but a wood or ATA case can be built for cost. Or, pick-up in Los Angeles.

 HAUNTED PADLOCK
CANNON / MCCOLL

You exhibit a Large - approx. 8 x 6 x 1.5
Old World style padlock. Perhaps it belonged to a long-deceased relative. You then lock the shackle and hang it on a peg or hook, etc. CLEARLY NOTHING IS SECRETLY ATTACHED TO THE PADLOCK. No strings wires, etc. YOU STAND SEVERAL FEET AWAY FROM THE LOCK. As the lights dim and the music sets the mood, you slowly wave your hand toward the lock. SUDDENLY, THE SHACKLE UNLOCKS ITSELF AND THE PADLOCK BODY FALLS DOWNWARDS ON IT'S OWN WEIGHT WITH A LOUD "CLUNK". THEN, THE LOCK BODY ROTATES 180 DEGREES! This is very powerful & visual magic. Holding a séance? Imagine the reaction when you "ask for a sign" from Uncle Harry and the lock pops open! Or perhaps you would want to use it in conjunction with a VISUAL container
escape, and let the audience watch you as
you somehow open the padlock that is on the OUTSIDE of a glass box, while you are INSIDE! This item uses ultra-modern, sophisticated technology, BUT DOES NOT USE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL! As you probably know, radio remote control items can fail due to radio interference (such as your microphone), etc.

 

 IMPALED & ATA CASE

Your assistant is suspended on the tip of sword. But as if that isn't enough she is spun 360 degrees when suddenly she falls impaling herself on the sword...

Includes Custom ATA case that fits through any standard doorway. Illusion requires no cables during performance. Truly a masterpiece of engineering. Illusion is all original with the addition of non slip surface added to the Plexiglas top for safety. Shipping from Florida.

 ORANGE LEMON CANARY
& PADDED CRATE

DAVID MENDOZA - MAGICRAFT

One of the finest orange, lemon, egg, canary cages in existence, this one of a kind prop is unparalleled in quality and craftsmanship. David Mendoza built this prop as an exact model of David Copperfield’s orange, lemon, egg, canary cage. To my knowledge, this is the only cage of its kind ever built by Mendoza. Effect: Magician shows audience a bird, egg, lemon, and orange. Bird, egg, and lemon are each vanished. He then draws attention to the remaining orange, which is sliced open to reveal the previously vanished lemon inside. Lemon is sliced open to reveal the previously vanished egg inside. Egg is cracked open in the cage, and the bird comes flying out. A truly magical and jaw dropping effect. Prop has never been used and it is in immaculate condition. Base on the cage is unbelievably thin, and is almost invisible. Combined with the speed of the roller, this is an extremely deceptive prop. There are no blemishes, bird stains, or marks on the prop. If you’re looking for a great effect, built by one of magic’s best illusion builders, this is it. Comes complete with a cloth cover and padded wooden crate.
