This is NOT the version performed by Cyril Takayama.
This is Eleazar's own original method of pulling a real
hamburger from a laminated menu picture of it, followed
by some delicious french fries. Blank spaces remain where
the food was. The hamburger is returned to the menu (with
a bite taken out of the photo) and the menu is then
handed to a spectator to choose one of the delicious
deserts on the back. The chosen desert then is pulled
from the menu and given to the spectator as a treat.

The wizard shows four cards, each depicting a
different colored potion bottle. Each time the cards are
shown, a different bottle appears empty. All of the cards
change into “spell books” and then, for the
shocking finale, the cards are turned over and the potion
bottles have been replaced with four different colored
dragons!

It's never too early to begin getting ready for
Christmas! This hand-held hardboard effect from Jim
Gerrish and the Wiz Kids is a perfect lead-in to a
production of Santa's Gifts or the actual appearance of
Santa Claus (not included!).

The lowly Pompom (buy them by
the bag!) acquires a personality and a life all its own
as you teach it to crawl around your body and up and down
a magic wand! Then it finds a mate and the two of them
immediately produce two more Critters, this time of
different colors. All four Critters hang by their tails
from your wand and you can do the Pompom Pole Trick with
them if you wish. As a grand finale, you put them back in
their cage and they suddenly begin to multiply faster
than the Tribbles from Star Trek! This and other flexible
routines for your Critters will be explained in the
article.

The magician tells a story about how he used the
rules of Blackjack to find a gambler's card. The
spectator is given the role of the gambler and believes
he has caught the magician out, when the cards suddenly
change and give the magician a perfect Blackjack hand.
Includes a FREE BONUS EFFECT: “Sudden Death
Blackjack.” This Blackjack-themed variation of Dr.
Daley’s Last Trick ends in a startling
transformation that occurs in the spectator’s hands.

Womanicure
by Professor Spellbinder
This is the first in a series of effects designed
specifically for women magicians. I hope women enjoy them
and actually use them. Male magicians might consider
teaching these effects to their female magic partners to
augment any magical act. The INFO button explains this
first effect of color-changing fingernails and matching
color-changing lipstick.

YOU decide who is on the run and why! The prop is
easy enough to build so you can make several and change
your theme with the seasons or the occasions. Once again,
I will use the coyote and the bird so this trick can be
used as a follow-up to the previous tricks from Book 1 of
my Hardboard & Duct Tape Magic Show.

Ordinarily, I hate card tricks. I haven't let that
stop me from creating a few, but to get me interested
enough in working on it, it has to be really special.
This one, that I published in 1999, is.
Briefly, a spectator chooses a card from a red-backed
deck, signs it on the face, you do some Ambitious Cards
(instructions from Jean Hugard included), then the card
disappears from the deck. You toss a sealed blue-backed
deck on the table. The spectator opens the deck, spreads
out the blue-backed cards face down and finds her
red-backed signed card hidden in the center, right in the
exact order it belongs. If you have to do a card trick,
do a real knockout, I always say.

This is a sequel of sorts to my previous
gambling-themed effect, Winning at Blackjack, above. This
effect not only provides equal time for Poker, I’ve
“upped the ante” by transforming not just one
card, but an entire hand (worthy of folding) into a Royal
Flush.

Ever since watching the movie “The
Illusionist,” I was intrigued by the challenge of
producing a spirit as suggested by the movie, a half body
resting on a table. I am calling my result after the name
of the principal character in that movie, The Illusionist
himself, Eisenheim.

Building a
Better Nest
A Magical History Lesson By Professor Spellbinder
Louis Nikola on The
Nest of Boxes (1934):"Some of the oldest
tricks have a lasting fascination. There are many that
have never been seen by the rising generation that in
time will bear revival. The one in which a missing object
appears within the innermost of a succession of boxes was
always a source of delight; and with a nest of large
size, that as the stack grows, towers above the performer
himself, may become hilarious, besides providing a good,
sound mystery."
I couldn't have said it better myself,
so I didn't. This is a journey through magic history
examining various methods of tricks which end up with an
object being produced from some kind of nesting
containers.
