Merlins of Wakefield - It's always magic at Merlins

A small clear perspex box, with an appearance of a treasure chest is shown empty. A red silk is placed in your hands, and vanishes, only to immediately re-appear inside the box. Nice, quick effect, suitable for any audience

A box containing the magicians prediction is placed in full view. A spectator selects a poker chip from a selection of three different coloured chips, they are allowed to change their mind right up to the conclusion of the effect. The box is opened and the prediction chip matches the selected chip exactly! Very direct, Only one prediction chip used, Very easy to perform - MERLINS EXCLUSIVE

A short piece of rope is shown in the magician's left hand. It grows an extra end, then another, finally ending up with 4 ends, with only one middle loop. "How can that be?" asks the magician. "I have only one rope!". The magician pulls on the rope and then shows it is just one long rope.

Two cards are selected and lost in the deck. You bring up the topic of the classic effect, The Card Stab, where the magician thrusts a sword into a deck of cards, impaling the selections on it. You boldly offer to perform this miracle; however, you explain that presently all your swords are at the dry cleaners. Luckily there is one card in the deck that carries his own sword, the King of Clubs. After the King of Clubs has been thoroughly examined, it is pushed half way into the deck, when it emerges one of the selected cards is now impossibly impaled on the king’s sword...and it’s part of the actual printing on the card...this is impossible! If that wasn't enough, without any switches, the same card is pushed into the pack again and impossibly, the second selection is now impaled on the King's other sword...the cards just seem to materialise on the swords...it's crazy visual magic! You leave the spectators holding an impossibly altered playing card with both their selections impaled on the King's swords!

Approach your victim and casually steer the conversation to poisonous insects. Ask something ominous like, "Have you heard about the infestation? Those swarms of stinging, poisonous scorpion moths?" When your friend professes ignorance, say, "Oh yeah, they're coming in from Leeds (name a nearby city). They say their sting isn't fatal to a healthy adult, but to a baby or the elderly..." Let your voice trail off as if the consequences are too dire to even contemplate. When your friend's curiosity reaches its peak, bring forth the book. Let them get a look at the deadly looking specimens on the cover. "Take a look, there's a picture in here," you say as you extend the book toward them. When the book is pretty close to them, open it and let the moth fly out at them. Oh baby! Believe me, if you've built this up good, you'll have to scrape them off the ceiling! Comes complete with full colour book cover, 2 moth props and illustrated instruction sheet

You display six different cards, and ask the spectator to remmember one of them. The cards are now dealt one at a time into the spectators hand, and their mentally selected card has gone! You now for the first time, ask the spectator to name the card. You then reach into your pocket and produce the selected card. Easy to perform, with no skill required. Made with custom printed poker cards.

A card is chosen and replaced in the deck, the magician states that he will find the selection. He produces the card saying that he has been successful, however the audience are sceptical because the card is face down! The magician asks if he should turn it round, and in doing so the card VISIBLY changes into a ROUND card and it is the selected one. Their eyes will pop at this commercial, visual and fun piece of magic!

A small card is shown to the audience, with one white spot on one side, and four on the other. It is shown again, but this time now has three spots on one side, and six on the other. You explain how it works, so the audience think they understand, until you show them some real magic, and EIGHT SPOTS are now seen on one side.

A coin, ball, matchbox or any similar sized object is placed on your hand, and covered by a brightly coloured handkerchief. The handkerchief is then pulled away, and the item has GONE ! Can also be used to produce a small object. Fully self contained and easy to perform and great value!
