Fatter, flashier, and more visible than
a rope, the feather boa from a Dollar Store can be used
to perform most rope trix ... and then some trix that
can't be done with any rope because the boa is also
lighter in weight and more flexible than most ropes. Fred
Goode found some at Dollar Tree and Jim Gerrish went
right to work coming up with new ways to use them indoors
and out. They can float, they can fly, they can shoot up
to the sky, they can change their colors, disguise as
flowers, and have new kinds of magic powers.

The magician places four coins on a
close-up mat using the familiar Matrix pattern. Four aces
are openly pulled from a deck and one ace is placed
face-down on top of each coin. As expected, the coins
travel from beneath the cards until all four coins have
gathered under a single card in the corner. Unexpectedly,
the cards are then turned face up and the three cards
that concealed vanished coins are shown to be blank face
cards. The last card, under which the coins gathered, is
turned face-up to show my Crazy Ace pattern. A template
is provided for printing out your own Crazy Ace
card.

The days of the old metal handcuffs are
fast fading away. If you have to get restrained these
days, it will be in plastic cuffs and so the modern
escape artist, if he or she is keeping up with the times,
needs to know how to not only get OUT of the cuffs, but
also how to get back IN and look all innocent. Wiz Kid
Qua-Fiki, author of Escapes For Teens is no
longer a teen-ager, but he has still kept up his interest
and ability to get out of tight spots, in the interests
of entertainment, of course! Sources for the cuffs and
the equipment you will need are listed in the e-Book.

The Jumping Gems and Hot Rod are
combined in one routine, using the latest technology and
a touch of magic. The spectator gets to remove a wooden
stick from a pouch, make sure it is quite plain and
ordinary, and then hands it to the magician. Then the
magic starts to happen very similar to Ken Allen's
Jumping Gems. A white gemstone appears on one side of the
stick. Then on both sides. Then another gemstone appears
on the opposite end of the stick. The two white gemstones
apparently slide together on one end. Finally they change
color and become a red ruby, before disappearing all
together and leaving just an empty wooden stick which is
again dropped into the spectator's hand. A second empty
stick is removed from the pouch and in an instant, it is
covered with six different color gem stones on both sides
of the stick (Jim Zee's Hot Rod). The spectator calls out
a number from one to six and that number selects one of
the gemstones. Suddenly all the gemstones become the same
color as the chosen one, on both sides of the stick. Just
as suddenly, the gemstones all disappear and a second
plain wooden stick is dropped into the spectator's hand.

Also known as the "Ultra Silk
Tube" this has been used as a production tube,
change tube, and all-purpose switching tube but has never
lived up to its full potential, kept down by those
cookie-cutter magi who buy it and use it according to
directions, rather than by applying the rich history of
magical sleights and principles handed down by Ellis
Stanyon, John Mulholland and others. If all you have been
doing is opening it and closing it, without showing both
sides, or without handing it to a helper from the
audience to open and close, you have no idea of the
potential of this clever trick for performing blow dyes,
Mis-Made Flag, Dye-version, rope and ribbon effects and
more. They are all explained in this e-Book.

New-Velope is a regular Dollar Store
Security envelope that you convert to a
"window" envelope and then use to make
predictions, find missing playing cards, perform
"confabulations", switch bills and billets and
more. While you could use a plain white legal
sized envelope for this, the security envelope provides a
nice internal contrast for the prediction or other flat
object that no other switching envelope provides,
according to Jim's research. They are so easy and
inexpensive to make, you'll want to make several and keep
them for the many different magical effects they allow
you to perform for different shows.

The whole Peek-a-Boo craze
started with card tricks in which chosen cards appeared,
vanished, and then peeked out of various locations before
finally appearing in some surprise location, as described
by Professor Hoffmann in Modern Magic (1876).
That was before magicians started performing for young
children. Today's Peek-a-Boo magic tricks don't need
playing cards and can be performed with a variety of
cut-out characters. Our example we show you how to
construct is a cartoon scarecrow that hides inside a
cardboard barn and can't wait to pop up and scare
someone. More ideas are given for a variety of props and
characters that you can print out on your computer
printer and make in just a few hours at the kitchen
table.

This new principle for performing The
Three Little Pigs allows you to hand the cards and houses
over to a spectator to help you tell the story. The
transformation of the practical little pig into the big
bad wolf takes place in your hands, but the
cards never leave the sight of the audience for a second.
The same principles could be used to make your own story
cards - Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Cat In The
Hat and his three Thing Helpers, Three Super Heroes
Battle a Super Villain, and so on. The cards are all
printed out on your computer, and instructions for
building at least one of the open window houses, so you
can see the final transformation happen right in front of
you, are included. Note that the three pigs are not
identical in appearance, so you can use more than three
characters in your story (Seven Dwarfs, anyone?), or you
can perform it with just two- the good character and the
"big bad" character, if you wish (Spiderman and
Magneto?). The choice is yours.

Gee, aren't they cute?
But that's not why they are "Attractive Cards".
A new principle in card magic makes it possible to
perform, for example, a Six Rabbit Repeat using
six very different (and named) rabbits, and ending up
with lots and lots of baby bunny cards. Make the cards in
playing card sizes, or super jumbo sizes. At the end, the
remaining six cards, with babies that have suddenly
appeared on the backs, are handed out to spectators to
hold and count. It's not about just that one trick. The
principle is used to make cards of any size appear,
disappear, transform and as we saw in the above 3
Little Pigs (yes, that uses the same new principle),
transpose. Since you print the cards out yourself, you
can come up with tricks using any images you want.
