Definition of Mumbo-Jumbo: language or
ritual causing or intended to cause confusion or
bewilderment.
Synonyms: nonsense, gibberish, claptrap, rubbish,
balderdash, blather, hocus-pocus.
That about sums it up! Without using any
gaffed cards, working with three ordinary jumbo sized
cards (to prove no sleight of hand is possible), Jim
shows you how to confuse and bewilder the audience while
performing the three card monte. His finale is to put the
three cards in the hands of three spectators under
controlled conditions and move the spectators around
holding onto their cards. Even so, all the cards turn out
to be surprises that the spectators can't explain! Use
any ordinary cards, or print them out in jumbo sizes
using our templates.

Thanks to David Parr appearing on Penn
& Teller's Fool Me, along with a little "service
bell", a whole new genre of magic has been opened
up, from "Do As I Do" to "Follow The
Leader", game-show style! Jim immediately jumped on
the bandwagon with a Follow The Leader Torn and Restored
Napkin in which the spectator follows the magician's
every move and surprises himself and the audience by
tearing up and restoring his own napkin, without knowing
how it's done! More Follow The Leader effects
follow to prove it's not just a one trick pony; tricks
with sponge balls, jumbo playing cards, and Topsy-Turvey
Bottles can all be performed to the ding of a bell.

Helium-filled balloons are tied all
around the top of a cardboard or foamboard box. A child
from the audience is placed inside the box, which is
inside an even larger box. The inner box gets carried
high above the stage by the helium balloons. Is the child
still inside the box? The outer box that was left behind
on the stage is opened and shown empty. When the floating
balloon box is finally returned to the floor, the
balloons are popped or removed and the child is found
still inside and given the remaining balloons as a
reward.

If you are lucky enough to work with a
hard-working school marching band, you can help them
perform magic illusions on any football field in broad
daylight with the audience sitting all around. This
e-Book shows you ways to make them appear, disappear, and
fly around while continuing to march and play their
instruments, without skipping a beat.

Barky-Bark is a small (inexpensive)
mechanical Puppy that wiggles and walks, wags its tail
and barks when it appears by magic, disappears, and then
noisily reappears again and again when you least expect
him. A perfect running gag for children's audiences. It
operates on two AA cells and can be activated
magnetically with a bit of soldering. Instructions and
sources given. Inexpensive enough to use as a gift for a
birthday child, or to sell (a duplicate) to parents after
the show. Also comes in a variety of different breeds of
dog, so you can have more than one appear during your
act.

In these effects, you will become a
seeker, a mystic, a soothsayer, a diviner, a seer, an
augur, a rhabdomancer, perhaps even a visionary. You will
appear to have the power of location of lost or hidden
objects, a sense of ownership or possession, an affinity
with artifacts and antiques.
In other words, as a magician, you are
going to lie, cheat and steal again. But it's all in the
name of fun and entertainment.

Mini Cube Puzzles are solved in seconds
by magic, or better yet, magically solve themselves in
your hands and even in the hands of spectators. Because
they are so inexpensive, you can afford to give them away
after fooling the socks off your audience. Bonus: Use
them instead of balls in a Cups and Balls routine where
the cubes start off scrambled and gradually solve
themselves as they travel from cup to cup.

I went looking for one of these recently
and realized that no more are being made by magic
builders. So I'm offering a couple of ideas for cages and
bags and carriers that you can use to both transport your
bunny (or other livestock) and then use as a magic prop
to make your critters appear and/or disappear. Some you
have to make from scratch, and some you can buy
inexpensively and just make a few easy changes. Your
bunny will thank you.

The Chop Cup, invented in 1954 by Alvin
H. Wheatley (1901-1964) who performed as an Oriental
under the name Chop Chop, has basically been "Double
Chopped" and "Canned" for this, as will be
explained in the e-Book, along with step by step
instructions in how to make one from cardboard and paper,
using only a ruler, and scissors or a razor knife as your
tools.
This was originally part of my earlier
e-Book called “Cubey-Doobey”
(above, # 07), which involved magic with Rubik’s
Puzzle Cubes. Realizing that it could be more useful than
just being stuck working with the puzzle cubes, it now
has been re-written and re-purposed to be a general
utility magic prop with many uses by itself, or in
combination with others.

From cut up pieces of Christmas Cards
that blend into a large vinyl poster, to mental magic
using Christmas Cards, to using Christmas Cards instead
of playing cards to do card tricks, and much more, you'll
find things here that you will be able to use in your
Christmas shows this year and for many years to come. Now
that I'm no longer spending time on a certain Café
Forum, I'll be able to work harder on making my own kind
of magic, and I hope it's your's, too!

How does it work? When do I get my purchases? How
are they delivered? Where is everybody?
