Merlins of Wakefield - It's always magic at Merlins

With whimsical patter, the performer displays four cards, blank on both sides. Suddenly, they develop printed faces and backs. Just as quickly, they revert to being blank. ONLY FOUR CARDS ARE USED! SPECIAL PRICE!

This is a really cute spring puppet. It munches, dances and even comes with its own card trick! It comes with full instruction booklet, and can be used as a glove puppet too. Ideal for kids parties, but goes down a storm at walk around or corporate events.

Is it magic or the ultimate optical illusion?
The magician takes a pen and sticks it through the INVISIBLE ZONE case. When the case is open the centre of the pen is totally invisible, even though the pen is moved back and forth. Easy to do but diabolically clever. Invisible Zone may become your favourite magic trick. This one looks totally impossible.

You can be magical and astrological with this ingenious effect! Offer an audience member a brief astrological reading, showing that a deck of cards can be used as a calendar. Four suits - four seasons; Thirteen cards in each suit - thirteen phases of the moon in one year; fifty two cards in the deck - fifty two weeks in a year. During the reading you begin to show the prediction cards that you were compelled to pick before the show, and explain their purpose in the astrological procedure. Then, for the finale, you show that your prediction cards match the spectator's birthdate!

You give a spectator a packet of cards and ask him to shuffle them. Next you bring out two predictions. Two spectators each select a card. The packet is in their hands as they make their selections.The two selections match the predictions ! What would have happened if they had chosen other cards ? The answer is nothing ! Because that's exactly what is found on all the other cards... NOTHING ! Every card is completely BLANK ! Everything can be left for examination, Easy to do, Complete with cards & predictions!

The performer displays an empty bottle of beer along with the cap. Visibly, the cap is then magically "pushed" inside through the mouth of the bottle! The bottle is clearly shown and the spectator's can all see the cap rattling around inside the bottle. Just as amazingly, the cap is then once again removed from the bottle and given out for examination! Once more, the performer pushes the cap into the bottle and everything is handed out for examination-they can't get it out! The bottle with the cap permanently inside may then be kept by a spectator as a souvenir. Comes with the secret gimmick which will work with almost any beer bottle and detailed instructions!

Today is Cardwash day. You show the faces of several cards, which one by one, turn over in your hands to reveal a white sock on the blue backs. But suddenly, a RED sock appears, and the cards now all have red backs with a red sock on. You place the cards in your wash bag and give them a spin to try and clean them up. But when you remove the cards, the faces are shown to be all stained red! A great novelty packet effect that includes all the cards, wash bag and instructions. An easy to perform effect, super clean, with twists, tumbles and an astonishing final spin!

A blank faced card is shown and placed in a wallet. The back of the card can be seen through a cut out in the back. A spectator selects a card and places it face down on the table. The wallet is waved over the card, as you explain it acts like a 'chameleon' and will copy the selected card. The blank card is removed from the wallet, and is shown to have changed into the selected card. Comes with leather ID wallet and instructions.

You show your audience three playing cards, say, two black tens and a red king. The red king is between the black tens. The fan of three cards is turned face down and the middle card (king) can be seen to have a totally different coloured back. Very cleanly and slowly you separate the middle card and place it face down on the table. The two remaining cards are placed to one side. When the spectator turns the king over it is totally BLANK! Perhaps they suspect that you are using extra cards? You are, but smaller than they expect, you spread the two black tens and there between them is the red king but now it has diminished to half its original size!
