This past summer I got into a discussion on one of
the forums about how no real improvements in the
Vanishing Radio effect have come from those making the
props for commercial sales. The Vanishing Radios being
produced don’t really reflect the modern radios that
are available in stores. So I had someone go out and buy
me a cheap, portable (but real!) radio and here is my
2007 version of the Vanishing Radio.

I found some tiny cauldrons in the Dollar Store and
got some of the Wiz Kids to brainstorm with me and come
up with a bunch of uses for them just in time for
Halloween. Some you can make and use right away, but
others you'd better just work on for next Halloween. As a
bonus, we came up with some ideas for the larger sized
plastic cauldrons as well.

My magical family returned from the Party Supply
store with all the stuff needed for a forthcoming
Halloween Party. They had paper cups, paper plates,
napkins, and tablecloths all following the same theme. We
immediately began brainstorming how to turn them all into
magic effects, not only good for the Halloween theme, but
with any party theme- Spiderman®, Sponge Bob®,
Barbie®, Dora®... you name it, you got it!

This effect was inspired by the classic packet trick,
“Color Monte.” If you don’t own that gem
then stop reading, drive to your local magic store, and
buy it now! (To order on-line, click HERE)
It is considered by many to be the best packet trick of
all time.
Although Monster Monte uses some of the same
sleights, I’ve added a totally new “ambitious
vampire” phase and made improvements to the
handling, eliminating the most awkward “Color
Monte” move entirely. Additionally, I’ve done
away with the gambling motif and turned this perennial
favorite into a kid-friendly effect that’s
especially suitable for the Halloween season.

This is a stupidly simple device, like
all the best magic gimmicks. I have been using it in
shows since 1979, and since I haven’t found anything
better for making a non-electric bang, flash, puff of
smoke, and/or fire in all this time, I have decided to
release it to the magic community before I get too old to
remember how to make it or the parts become impossible to
find.
Pyrotechnic devices are recommended
for adults only!

In the U.K., the forerunner of this ancient
trick/puzzle was called “Rod and Beads,” but in
the USA, it was known as “The Devil Wand.” Many
young magicians think Ali Bongo was the inventor, but all
he did was put together a routine for it that made it a
staple of today's Kid Magic Props. Where did it come
from? Where is it going? The Professor reveals all.

Five mummy cards are shown and one is
set aside. One by one, the sarcophagus lids are magically
closed to prevent the remaining mummies from escaping.
The cards are shown again. The mummies have all escaped!
Only a small heap of bandages remains in the bottom of
each sarcophagus.
The card that was set aside is turned over to reveal that
all the mummies are now enjoying a relaxing dip in a hot
tub!
Great for Halloween or any time of year! The mummies
don’t have to be portrayed as “monsters.”
This effect could be presented using an
Egyptian/archeology theme.

About 1877, Hartz conceived the idea of taking a
standard magic effect of the time, the Inexhaustible
Hat, and “enormously
increase the quantity of the articles, produced; and
secondly, to produce them under more difficult conditions
? namely, on a stage so bare that it afforded apparently
no cover for even the smallest object.”—Hoffmann.
The result was Hartz’s Devil of a Hat, for
which he became world famous and implanted the idea of a
magician producing everything imaginable from a top hat
firmly in the minds of the theater going public.
Here's my modern variation taking the idea further than
Hartz ever dreamed possible.

“Magic Mirror in my hand,
Who is the fairest in the land?”
Well, all right, we had to change the fairytale spell
a bit to adjust for a mirror held in the hand and not
hanging from a wall. This is an effect designed for a
woman magician to perform with an ordinary looking
compact mirror that seems to have the gift of far-seeing
and/or prophecy.

Flower Power
By Professor Spellbinder
You should always strive to use genuine flowers in
live performances. People really CAN tell the difference
and when they discover that you are doing magic with
genuine live flowers, they will have more respect for you
as a magician. This article shows you how you can replace
your old feather dusters and tissue paper spring flowers
with real flowers in everything from Botanias to
Production bouquets.

It seems a little strange that I should try to
levitate a balloon, but actually, the effect is that a
small boy or girl is levitated through the process of
handing him helium balloons, one by one. When he is
holding one helium balloon too many, off he goes and you
have to keep pulling him back to earth. Finally, you snip
away one or two balloons and send the child on his way,
safely earthbound.
