The Scotty York Lamp is one of the true classics of magic. Now Tenyo has created an afforable option for this effect (the professional model is still available at SME), and we are making it avalable at an even more affordable price - while supplies last!

Wrap a light bulb inside of a handkerchief, and allow a spectator to wave it over several piles of cards.
When the bulb comes close to one pile, it lights up! Sure enough, the top card of that pile is the spectator's selected card.

The light stays on until you are ready for it to go off. To turn the light off, you cut an "invisible" wire with a pair of scissors. At the instant you snip the invisible wire, the bulb goes out.

This masterpiece of magic is now available as part of Tenyo's 2011 line. Included in the set are the very special light bulb, a special deck of cards and a special gimmick you can use for added impact. Fantastic magic.

A new reprinting makes available one of the rarest books ever written on magic by Thomas Ady. This book contains one of the earliest histories and explanations of the word “Hocus Pocus”. You will find the account on page 29. Quite possibly, this could be where the word originated 339 years ago.

Through the benevolence of Etienne Lorenceau, we’re honored to bring into the magic fraternity one of the most sought-after volumes of magic books—the 1655 edition of Ady’s revered A Candle In The Dark. Why is this treatise so rare? In the first full-dress bibliography of conjuring, Raymond Toole Stott cites only five copies in existence. Ady wrote this treatise to augment Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft and further prove that people being accused of witchcraft were simply magicians.

Ady’s book contains a determined onslaught on the doctrines of Demonologie—King James of England’s book on the nature of magic and sorcery which fueled witch hunts. Ady makes reference of King James’ most excellent Hocus Pocus, a magician who used to say, “Hocus Pocus, tont us talont us, vade celeriter jubeo.”

The latest from the fertile mind of Sean Scott, who is fast earning his well-earned reputation as one of magic’s greatest creative thinkers for unique effects.

To those of you who work on the street, BANDARIZUMU gives you a major extra dimension. Those parked cars are now fair game, along with signs, poles, walls, etc. The restoration is swiftly elegant and complete, a blink to set the wrong act right! Another effect from Sean Scott with an organic approach, it’s all in the hands.
