Meet Private-eye Python, (affectionately known to his friends as the Analytical Anaconda). An outstanding student of the late Sherlock Holmes, he resides in this Indian snake basket, the favourite abode of all his captive kin.
This snake is a smart sleuth, with amazing powers of observation and deduction. Let us ask him for a demonstration of his detective abilities.
I have here a deck of playing cards, which we use for our Poker game every Saturday night. Mr, Smith, please check them, and shuffle them, and just pick out any card you like.
Please show the card to everyone else, and autograph it, while I shuffle the deck. Please replace your card any where in the deck, and we will shuffle it some more, so it is as hopelessly lost as the proverbial needle in the haystack.
We now place the deck in Private-eye Python's basket. We ask Private-eye to use his powers of observation and deduction to detect your finger prints on the selected card, and we have his solemn word of honour he will not

Private-eye Python Sir, would you kindly reveal to us the selection made by Mr. Smith ?
Bam ! Up pops the Python from the basket, selected card in his mouth, to the amazed Ooh's and Aahs and the thunderous applause of his astounded audience.
The apparatus supplied does it all. As card revelations go, this is simple, novel, and would be a great hit with the kids and their juvenile parents. And you don't need me to tell you that you could use picture cards, or alphabet cards, or business cards, visiting cards, or anything similar, in lieu of the standard paste boards. Ready to work, and it works easier than you would expect !

Performer shuffles a pack of cards. A spectator freely selects a card from the pack. The card is replaced in the middle of the pack.
Performer puts the pack of cards on the table, and the spectator (or performer) places his fingertip on the pack. Casting his magic spell, the performer requests the spectator to lift his finger.
In a very uncanny manner, the pack cuts itself in the middle. The card cut at, (top card of the bottom half) is the selected card. It is the same card and not a duplicate, it could be signed if you wish.
We supply you a special gimmick card which you can use with any regular Bicycle deck, which is cleverly gimmicked and responsible for this Spooky animation effect. No strings to break, and no set up. Just put the gimmick card in your regular deck, and you are set to use this..

We supply you seven special Jumbo Cards, and you can perform a number of different tricks with them, using some or all of the cards.
With each set are supplied detailed instructions for the following effects.
Jumbo Quick Switch : Three similar Cards, (say 5H) and an odd "wild" card, (say an AS) are shown. Instantly, they change to three AS and one 5H. Finally, the last 5H turns to a AS, as well.
Jumbo Wild Cards : Performer displays four identical cards and one odd card. As each of the four identical cards is rubbed with the odd card, it changes to the odd Card. Finally all the identical cards have magically transformed to the odd Card.
Jumbo Reverso : You show a packet of four cards out of which three are same and one is different. The different card along with one similar card is placed in a

spectator's pocket. Now the different card is removed from pocket and placed with the two similar ones in the hand. You turn over the different card so its back is seen. Then a snap of fingers and you show that its face has changed to match the other two similar cards. The spectator removes card from his pocket. It is the different card.
Passe Passe Cards : Two cards placed under two handkerchiefs change places
Birds of a Feather : Two pairs of different cards are placed under 2 handkerchiefs. A card transposes from each pair, so the similar cards come together.
A Game Of Chance : Spectator fails to guess which of two cards is in your hand, and which one is behind your back.

This is an incredible animation effect for performance close-up, “right under their nose”.
In effect a spectator selects a card from a pack which is fanned and freely displayed. The selected card is placed face up on top of the pack, and as the magician makes magic gestures, slowly floats up an inch or more over the pack. Another card is waved under the floating card to “prove” there are no supports or threads.
Finally the card floats back, and can be tossed out for examination.
We supply a special gimmicked Bicycle back card that provides the motive force for the float. You add this gimmick to any regular Bicycle back deck, with a back of the same colour. No strings. No set Up.

The Change Bag is an invaluable accessory for any magician, and there are several different models available from any magic dealer. Although there are large Change Bags, for producing doves or rabbits, or other large items, most magicians use a Change Bag to change a couple of silks, ropes or ribbons, or other similar small and compressible items.
Most standard Change Bags are rather large, so we offer you this Mini Change Bag, which is a much smaller prop, and more appropriate in size with the items used. It has all the convenience and functionality of a regular Change Bag, but is a much smaller prop, compact enough to carry in your pocket, and perfectly workable for silks, ropes, ribbons, paper slips and currency bills, and solid items of up to the size of a deck of cards. You could have your silks or other items in the bag to start with, so that its use in the routine is natural and logical.
Well made with a wooden ring, velvet bag, and several ideas for use.

Ghost Gavel
A Gavel pivoted between two blocks on a large board is displayed. The gavel is shown to swivel freely, and drops under its own weight..
Yet the performer can cause it to rise, and knock in a ghostly fashion, to answer questions, do simple maths, or act as a lie detector etc. The gavel is completely under performers control at all times.
Clever mechanical prop, made in wood, this can be used under all performing conditions.

The performer produces a working table from "thin air", or from behind a foulard etc. Or he has a small board in his hand, which instantly changes into a working table. Designed similar to the Walsh Production Tables which are no longer available.
The complete table, which is almost 3 feet high instantly springs into a view, with metal stand and a working table top with tassels. Unlike other similar tables which tend to wobble, this provides a very usable surface, which will hold almost any magician's props you can fit on the working surface.
You are supplied the table ready to use.

With a few magical gestures, he freezes the liquid , so that when the glass is inverted the liquid is seen frozen in the glass, and does not pour out, He reaches into the glass, and pulls out the contents, - it is not liquid, but a silk of the same colour, which is freely displayed. The glass is seen completely empty.
Similar to Milk to Silk effect, but works differently. There is no instant ice or slush powder or any chemicals used. A purely mechanical item, the secret is in the special "mechanical" glass supplied.
Comes complete with instructions for use.

A new and different production silk, with a novel touch of Magic. The performer reaches into his empty hat, and says he will produce a rabbit. But he only produces a silk, which when opened displays a Duck, and not a rabbit.
Surprised, the performer folds the silk, and when he opens it again, the picture of the duck has changed to a rabbit ! The change is magical, you just fold the silk in half, and open it again, and it has turned to show the Rabbit, even if your audience realizes it is the same picture, turned around !
Produced on super grade silk, approx 21" square, with art work specially done by Tony Dunn, Art director of the famous Linking Ring Magazine, this is a production silk that has the extra touch of magic, that your audience will remember, long after they have forgotten all the other flowers and silks and baubles. Use it from any production prop.

A Playing Card is introduced into a cut out plastic frame. It is clearly visible as it is inserted into the frame through the cut outs on the top, middle and bottom of the frame. The centre of the card is now pushed out, so that the card is cut in a Zig Zag manner. An incredible illusion, only possible if the card was cut into three pieces. And you can see right through where the middle of the card should be. The performer pushes back the centre and removes the card. And it is found to be perfectly intact without any cut, or damage.
This is an economy model of the item, made in plastic, for use with bridge size playing cards. It comes to you as a third of the price of our other model, and makes an excellent trick for your collection or a give-away for anyone interested in magic. Very easy to do.
