 PLUTONIUM 2000
TIM WHITE
An entertaining and one of a kind updated version of the Burned Alive Illusion. Talk about tanning and having that "Hollywood look", you ask for a volunteer looking to get that golden tan. You bring up an audience volunteer and introduce the "Plutonium 2000". Victim is slid into the tanning bed, the switch is thrown and. . . nothing. Assistant points out that it's not plugged in. Magician plugs it in, sparks fly from his hands and the assistant and magician inspect the "boo boos" on his hands. Meanwhile, tanning bed is smoking, lights are flashing, etc unbeknown to the performers. Finally, they notice that they are frying their volunteer, they open the tanning bed and he is burnt to a crisp. He sits up and then flops back down. Volunteer can later be reproduced (unharmed of course!). A great piece of ENTERTAINMENT. Perfect effect for cruise / resort performers as what do most guests do - lay out and try to get some sun! Recently reworked and touched up, this prop is in very good condition. No case or crate. Plus Shipping or Pick up in Detroit

Here are some of the reviews:

Genii Magazine review by David Oliver:

“No Smoking” is for the serious stage performer looking to distinguish him or herself from the pack, and add a memorable piece of magic to their act. Highly recommended.

Magic Magazine review by John Lovick:

This is a very nice package that makes the routine a possibility for the working pro. I know many magicians have dreamed of adding this routine to their repertoire, and now I'm sure many will.

 NO SMOKING
PUCK MAGIC

No Smoking - The Best Smoking Thumb Routine On The Planet - A tribute to Ade Duval and Fred Kaps. A professional level solution to the Smoking Thumb plot from Puckmagic. The illusion of producing clouds of smoke while using your hand transformed into a pipe combined with invisible tobacco and matches is now a classic of magic. The plot has it all. It's extremely visual, it's completely impossible, it packs very small yet plays to audiences in the thousands and it's rarely seen today. For the working professional this routine has it all. This classic has had major problems. Previous versions had a plethora of flaws ranging from the use of caustic chemicals to inferior gaffs to unclear plots. While the effect was stunning and visual, performing the routine was dangerous to both the performer and audience. Chemicals used to produce smoke not only produced a terrible smell but were carcinogenic. Puck's solution is perfect. In fact the method DOES NOT NEED TO BE TOBACCO BASED! This means the performer doesn't need to smoke tobacco to do the routine. It also means you can choose the scent of the smoke. Notice I said scent and not smell. You can create smoke that smells like cherry, vanilla or many other choices. Here is a chance to learn the highly kept secrets of the Smoking Thumb previously not available. Every detail is taught and combined with the included high quality gimmicks makes this a complete package geared to elevate any magical performers show.

 PARROT FROM SKETCHPAD
100% acknowledged and approved by Kevin James. Only used in Rehearsal about 5 times with Sulfur Crested Cockatoo. Plenty of Space. Retired the bird act and looking to sell this item. Like New Condition. Instruction Parrot from Sketch Pad DVD included. Magician walks on stage carrying an artist's sketch pad casually at his side. He then bows and raises the pad to his shoulder. He proceeds to draw a parrot on the pad and then caps the marker. The pad is then closed and held between both hands. Pad is squeezed, thus making a round gap in the pages. Instantly, a full-sized parrot slowly walks out of the pad and perches on top to thunderous applause. This, of course, is Puck's adaptation of Kevin James Bowlarama. It virtually gets gasps as my parrot walks out of the pad. The pads are hand-made by Puck and will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Pad will accommodate a parrot that is 20" from the tip of his head to the end of his tail. This makes it ideal for conures, greys, militaries, amazons,
mini-me caws, and cockatoo's."

 SPLICER
WALT DISNEY FABRICATIONS

Beautiful one of a kind "Splicer Illusion." Only used Twice! Cabinet was made by Illusion Arts. All of the fancy welding and metal work is by Walt Disney World fabrications. (this prop was NOT used at a theme park) Illusion is based off Rand Woodbury's design of an Andrew Mayne idea. Girl is crammed into a 26" square box and her hands emerge from two holes in the top. Two gigantic blades are pushed through the box and the girl is split in two. with both hands still moving and visible. Boxes are returned, a streak of fire runs across the split! and the girl emerges unharmed. Prop is top of the line made with brushed aluminum, diamond plate, steel mesh, the works. The welds are nothing short of amazing (completely seemless) It does break down some, but it does not have cases.

 HOUDINI ROPE & ATA CASE
RICH HILL'S ILLUSIONSHOP

Magician tells about how he came upon a relic from the days of Houdini - an actual piece of Houdini's Rope. In those days, it was said that Houdini could escape from any restraints because he could dematerialize his body. Now, having Houdini's rope in my possession, says the magician, I shall attempt to demonstrate this theory for you. Two members of the audience are invited to come on stage and examine the rope. It is about 30 feet in length and has been threaded between two antique posts. When the spectators are satisfied that the rope is solid, they each hold an end of the rope, pulling it taught. With the rope running thru the holes in the Posts, the post unit is wheeled center stage. Holding a foulard in front of you for just a moment, and using the posts as a staging area, you proceed to "dematerialize" and "rematerialize" on the other side of the rope, apparently walking right through it! Post unit is immediately wheeled to the side and the rope can be thoroughly examined. This Illusion is in Very Good condition. - Complete with Brand New lightweight Encore shipping/road case.
