Dapper Dan
by Professor
Spellbinder
At the beginning of the effect, Dapper
Dan is wearing only white boxer shorts. You get tired of
dressing him with the audience's choices of clothing, so
you decide to speed things up with magic. Four helpers
choose and draw items of clothing on Dollar Store Message
Boards with colored marking pens. Once it has been
decided on how Dapper Dan will be dressed, the helpers
wave their message boards at Dapper Dan, who has been
covered with a silk handkerchief for the occasion. They
just THINK of the items of clothing and before you can
say "Whiz Bam!" the drawings disappear from the
message boards and appear all at once on Dapper Dan.
There is an optional ending where Dan's clothes disappear
again and he ends up wearing polka dot underwear.

Effect: The magician shows the audience
his “Portable Rabbit Hole” which is a square
plaque with a large black circle on it and a white arrow
in the center. It can be shown on all sides. It is placed
on top of some panels with bars, also shown on all sides
before forming a cage. Suddenly a bunny (live or puppet)
pops up out of the portable hole on top of the cage. From
there you can lift the bunny out and begin your funny
bunny business until it is time for the bunny to take his
or her nap. The magician opens up the portable hole and
the bunny is pushed down inside. It just seems to vanish!
The whole cage is taken apart and shown to be as empty as
it was in the beginning.

Starting with Harry Anderson's reasoning for NOT
doing thumb ties with string or pipe cleaners, etc., or
for using thumb cuffs, Jim takes Harry's solution and
expands it into an escape extravaganza complete with ball
and chains, full body cuffs, and challenges with members
of the audience participating. And while it will keep
your arms and legs in chains and cuffs, it won't cost you
an arm and a leg to build up an hysterically funny escape
routine with these easily available props.

You can have any number of cards, Tarot or regular
playing cards freely chosen. In fact, any flat object
that will fit inside an envelope can be used, including
dollar bills, business cards, greeting cards, photographs
of any subject, and so on. You have a spectator select
one of the flat objects described above. He then selects
one envelope from a stack of envelopes you have shuffled
and mixed up. He places the flat object he has chosen
inside the envelope, and then fills up any number of
other envelopes with the flat objects he did NOT choose.
He mixes up the envelopes until he himself doesn’t
know which envelope contains his chosen flat object. One
by one he hands the envelopes to you and you place three
of them down on the table or on a music stand. He points
to any two of the envelopes, and finally points to one
envelope. When he opens the last envelope chosen, it
contains the flat object he originally chose and hid from
sight.

Matrix is only one example of combining coin magic
with card magic. Here's a do-it-yourself version of the
old "No-Way Coin Trick" combined with Shrinking
Cards. You can make all the props yourself and no one
will recognize what you have done to the old versions of
these classic tricks. It will all look brand new again.

Al Mann's Glass Box Prediction has been around since
the 1950's. During that time, things have changed, such
as the absence of many paper printed newspapers (today
you look on your phone for the headline news!) and
materials used to make transparent plastic boxes, and so
on. I have also added additional predictions that can be
made on different color papers so that every spectator
who picks a slip of paper from the box is shocked by a
prediction of an event that happened AFTER he chose the
paper and before he opened it. The final prediction of a
current headline of an event that just took place or
which is currently happening on the news makes a great
grand finale. All of those predictions were sealed inside
the transparent box weeks before the performance!

In May of 1921, a slate board effect titled
"Spirits?" written by the Faberlands, appeared
in the pages of the Sphinx Vol. 20, No. 3. In the 1960's
Al Mann described it in his book "Master Slate
Secrets." Now Jim has revised and converted it to
use a White Board and bright color ink pens, with new
twists to bring it into the year 2021 with all its faults
and foibles.

In 1929, Ted Annemann first published
"Phantasma" which combined the powers of his
mind to produce a card trick that happened in the hands
of a spectator. Here it is again, revised for performing
in 2021. Several randomly chosen playing cards are
removed from any deck. Someone merely thinks of one of
the cards, and then puts all the chosen cards into an
envelope which is sealed and given to someone else to
hold. The mentalist uses powers of his mind to make the
card, that is only being thought of, to disappear from
the sealed envelope, and then to make a surprising
reappearance somewhere completely different.

New Rattle
Box by Jim Gerrish
Many Magicians of today are still using the exact same
Rattle Box (upper left) as described by Professor Hoffman
in his 1876 book “Modern Magic,”and it was
considered very old back then! We decided it's time for a
NEW Rattle Box that actually looks like a real box, opens
like a real box, closes like a real box, and which can be
handled by a spectator to make a coin or ring vanish
completely. You make it yourself from wood, or buy an
inexpensive craft wood box from any source (Dollar
Store!) and easily convert it to make Jim's NEW Rattle
Box!
