This is a variation of
Arthur Emerson's 1983 invention, Pegasus Page. While
the original was never intended to be a mental effect,
mentalists adopted it as one. My version attempts to
complete the transformation of a simple magic trick into
a mentalist's dream come true, and a demonstration of
true psychic teleportation- bit by bit and molecule by
molecule.

What is Santa's Bag but a fluffy cloth version of the
Million Dollar Mystery? Can't afford one of
those? Jim Gerrish shows you how to put one on any stage
for under $100. Use it to produce toys galore, a
Christmas Tree and Santa himself.

You borrow a cap, necktie, wristwatch, or other
article of clothing from someone in the audience and test
a Magic Gift Box that is supposed to duplicate whatever
is put into it... but instead it makes the object
disappear. Never mind. Elmer the mischievous Elf is on
hand to help you show the boys and girls how Toys are
made at Santa's Workshop. Elmer wants to show us his toy
conveyor belt that churns out toy after toy
automatically. Suddenly the article of borrowed clothing
appears on a toy bear, then on a dolly, or hanging from a
giraffe's mouth. You never seem to see it, but the kids
surely do!

This requires a stage and several assistants (at
least four) to do it justice, however, it is possible to
perform with three assistants.
A tiny Jack in the Box expands visibly and after a
production is made from the expanded box, a live Jack in
the Box Clown jumps out.

This effect makes use of some
home-made Christmas Trees, so I suppose it is rather
limited to the Christmas season. The trees are cones of
construction paper, decorated with bits of material cut
from Christmas decorative garlands, plus some sparkly
stars and whatever else you want to use.
So easy that even a child can make the
props and perform the trick. I think I was eight years
old at the time. Not a Christmas season passes by without
my making up a new one and performing it all over again.
I'm getting rather good with all this practice.

Based on an idea
proposed by Dr. Steve Murray (docsteve at The Magic
Café)
Four people are asked to select one of
the four elements, earth, air, fire, water. As each
chooses, he or she writes down the choice on the front of
a sealed envelope. Each also writes a random number from
1 to 1000, and a date from among the past ten years. On
opening each envelope it is discovered that each envelope
contains a newspaper clipping from the chosen date, and
that each element represents a natural disaster;
earthquake, hurricane, wildfire, flood. In each disaster,
the news story states the number of people killed- the
same number chosen by each spectator.

Your worst nightmare in a
Christmas Gift, the Betsy Wetsy Dolly, that like the
magic broom in the story of the Sorcerer's Apprentice
never quits and may drown us all before she mercifully
vanishes. Hilarious for kids and adults alike.

Based on an idea by Louis
Histed as a variation on his own Square Circle plus a
second idea by Histed on a deceptive method of adding
additional loads, we add the element of Christmas and the
story of the Nutcracker and merge them into something new
and seasonal as well.

Puppet Magic for Non-Ventriloquists
By Professor Spellbinder
For those who have always
wanted to be ventriloquist/magicians but never could keep
their lips from moving, here are some routines for magic
puppets that don’t speak... and don't need to!

This effect was inspired
by Devlin’s Silk Mystery,
published long ago in Abracadabra, but also
found in The Rice Encyclopedia of Silk Magic,
Volume 1.
Major differences: Devlin's effect used a spider graphic- good for
Halloween and Spooky Theme uses; I offer a Christmas
Tree, plus ideas for other seasonal and non-seasonal
uses. Devlin's effect used an opaque cylinder to vanish
the silks. I use a transparent plastic cylinder in which
the six (or more) silks are inserted and can be seen
right up to the last moment- then they all visibly vanish
from the cylinder at once. Devlin's effect required the
use of an assistant. My version shows you how to perform
the effect solo.

This doesn't have to be
used just at Christmas, but will fit any theme where a
Carousel or Merry-Go-Round is appropriate. Or disguise it
as a Roulette Wheel or a Wheel of Fortune at a carnival.
Unlike most of them, this one is rigged in favor
of the spectator, who just can't seem to lose.
