I haven’t been able to find a Die Box that I REALLY liked for a long time. THIS box is excellent and the price is RIGHT! What you get is a handcrafted mahogany four door die box with all the goodies. Extra ‘fake’ in the door, etc. This is a full size box with an excellent white die with black dots. If you have wanted to add Die Box to your show, you really should give this a try.
Effect: In front of you is a hat or box. You display a beautiful wooden box that has two doors in front and two door on top. Thus the box can be opened to show that it is empty. You now display a large white die that fits perfectly into one side of the rectangular box. You show ALL sides of the die and ask whether your audience would like to see the die FLY visibly or invisibly into the hat? They of course say VISIBLY....so you set the die visibly into the hat. O.k., funny gag. You remove the die and place it into the Die Box closing all the doors. Now, you OBVIOUSLY tip the box to the opposite side the die was placed in and your audience will hear a loud CLUNK! You open the door on the side that the die used to be on and declare the DIE HAS VANISHED!!! They say, “Open the other door.” So you close the first door, tip the box and open the other to show the die gone! You get the idea.
This is classic ‘Sucker’ magic at it’s best. Eventually, after all the build up including your ability to SHOW the die IS in the box, you open all four doors to show the die has in fact VANISHED from the box and appeared in the hat! Great trick that I performed for years.

Card Between Plates by Jay Leslie -- I am a great lover of the ‘Have a card selected, signed, lost in the deck and then find it later in an impossible place later’ theme in card magic. I have the LePaul Card in Wallet and tricks in which a folded card appears in matchbooks and small metal cans.
Well, here is another addition to a magnificent magic theme. For any close-up worker looking for a trick that really looks like a miracle consider the following....A card is selected and signed by the spectator and lost in the deck. We’ve seen it before! But, this time, the card vanishes from the deck only to be found firmly secured by numerous rubber bands between two solid textured copper plates! There are some VERY COOL and practical benefits to this particular model.
Consider: The plates are attractive and not gimmicked looking. They are made in such a way that you use the minimum number of rubber bands and thus the RESET TIME is FAST! The load of the card from a classic palm or as part of a routine using the double lift, etc. is EASY and QUICK. All in all this is a really nice item at a very fair price.
Cigarette Up the Nose by Gary Kosnitzky -- Flat out this is the BEST version of this trick I have seen. Here what happens: You take a cigarette and VISIBLY push it up your nose. Get this: Your audience SEES the cork filter move slowly towards your nose. They SEE it go in. You open your move your hand to show it is empty! The Illusion is Perfect. Comes complete with the nifty gimmick and detailed instructions. “One of the greatest small illusions I have ever seen.” -Michael Skinner
Hundy 500 by Greg Wilson -- You open your wallet and pull out a packet of one dollar bills. You open the packet and count the bills slowly showing them openly as you do so. Then you fold, slap and bang the bills change instantly into $100 dollar bills. (Feedback from the local pros is that changing Five Dollar Bills to Fifty Dollar bills produces better tips.....)
EASY to do once you have the bills set up Greg gives you the work in his clear, concise and easy to follow style. If you like the bills can be changed back into ones, etc. A superb item well worth the money.
Maximum Mind Control by David Eldridge -- David Eldridge’s booklet Mind Control took the magic world by storm. Here at last was a place to find the ‘Real Work’ on the Magician’s Force! And, indeed it was.
Both the book and the video have been best sellers and that’s with very little advertising on our part. Two years have gone by and David’s NEW and EXPANDED work ‘Maximum Mind Control’ is now out and ONLY available from Brad Burt’s Magic Shop.
Maximum Mind Control has THREE TIMES as much material as Mind Control. It contains everything that was in the original Mind Control, but reworked and added to and THEN it builds from there. You get 100 FULL SIZE pages in a spiral bound format for easy reading and study. Yes, we ARE paying more to have them spiral bound, but this is a work book for magicians who want to CONTROL what their spectators select and when they select it!
There is work here from such brilliant minds as Kenton Knepper, Lee Eearle, Peter Marcucci, and Bob Farmer. This IS the kind of information that will revolutionize your performance, and give you a set of tools and techniques that will add power to your magic. There are NO pipe dreams here. The material inside is practical, use-it-everyday magic technique. Want a quote from a top flight magic guy? Here:
“‘Equivoque’ or ‘The Magician’s Choice’ is an important, yet oft misunderstood and abused technique in magic. David Eldridge is a master of the art. Through his entertaining magic and metalism, he teaches the proper application of this very important tool. I have no “choice”, but to recommend his work.”
-Michael Sibbernsen, Magic entertainer, writer, and creative consultantMaximum Mind Control contains items that Dave used to produce in the shop and sell as fast as he could make them! Highly recommended.
Mind Surf -- Any one of the four suits is freely named by a spectator (no magician's choice, force, leading, or linguistic deception of any kind). Upon removing four cards from a wallet the card which matches the spectator's chosen suit is the only one face down! What's more, the three face-up cards are Aces and the spectator's selection is turned over to reveal it is a King!
Comes complete with all the necessary, specially-printed Bicycle cards, wallet, and detailed, fully-illustrated 12-page instruction booklet.
Movie Magician -- This is a truly unique magic effect. Imagine that you have a friend select a playing card. The card is placed back in the deck and the deck is now set aside.
You remove a small plastic 'thing-a-majig' with a small lens and an on/off button. Your assistant now looks into the lens and pushes the on button and this is what they see.....
A movie begins....A REAL MOVIE!!! Out walks a gentleman who removes a jumbo playing card and displays it openly to the audience....NOPE, it is NOT the selected card! The tiny magician wags his head in disappointment and then pops open the classic black top hat of conjuring fame and produces from inside a silk handkerchief with the image of a playing card. And, yes, it IS the correct card!
This is fun and easy to do. Everything you need to know is in the instructions! A very limited supply left. Comes with the player, thin mini film cartridge and full instructions!
Pro P.K. Kit -- Again, this is one of those items that is a pleasure to advertise and recommend. If you are not yet hip to the use of magnets to make things move, stick together, levitate, etc. then I guess I just gave it away!
What the Pro P.K. Kit consists of is everything you could need to do the BEST magnetic P.K. work possible.
First, you get what I consider the smallest and BEST P.K. magnet (and I’ve seen dozens!) on the market. It measures 2" by 2" and is 1/2" thick. It is SUPER POWERFUL and will do pretty much what you want it to.
But, that’s just the beginning. You also get Straps to attach the magnet to forearm, etc. You get shimmed matches and steel rings and a Booklet with tricks, set ups, etc.
But, you get MORE. You also get a Hollow Deck of Bicycle cards to hide your new magnet in and shim material to make your OWN gimmicks! By the way the hollow deck is one of my ‘personal’ favorite things.
Years ago I hollowed out a deck with an Exacto knife and it was a nightmare. The deck that comes with the Kit is a custom made die cut deck that sells for $25.00 just by itself! The magnet sold alone is $45.00. This is a superior deal of well balanced materials and information.
Ricochet -- The 4 kings and the 4 aces are removed from a deck of cards. The kings are placed face down in a pile in front of a spectator who covers them with her hands. The aces are held in the performers hands, and one at a time the aces change into the kings. The performer now reasons that if he holds the king the spectator must be covering the aces. The spectator turns her cards face up expecting to see aces, but instead finds kings. The spectators now look back at the performer's hands, and find the aces! This is EASY to do. In fact, there is even a handling which requires NO sleight-of-hand whatsoever, and is perfect for a beginner! This is GREAT. BUY IT NOW!
