A Wonderful Stage Illusion. (Easy to carry and plays big!) A sword is freely shown, and even examined if you desire. The Magi explains that it is possible for him to push the sword through the body of the lady assistant without them feeling any pain.

Slowly, the sword is then thrust through the assistant from front to back, so both ends of the sword are in full view! Then the performer tapes a piece of ribbon onto the end of the sword protruding from the back side and then pulls the sword with the ribbon on it back through the body and out the front again! This is not a flimsy penetration as seen in other similar effects!

A slightly gruesome effect, yes, but one that never fails to click! This is an illusion you have been waiting for as it is so easy to perform and fun to do. The spectators may be all around you (completely surrounded), even close-up, without fear of detection.

The apparatus supplied is innocent in appearance and a mechanical masterpiece. Great quality, but not a lot of money!

CAN BE PRESENTED IN ANY LANGUAGE! Made exclusive for Stevens Magic by Louis Gaynor. With permission of Owens Magic Supreme. An idea of Maury Kains and created by Merv Taylor. This was the winner of the Talbor Trophy for Originality PCAM Los Angeles 1946.

“Ultissimo” as its name indicates, is a highly improved effect. It represents the “Last Word” in mental card effects. The old idea employed, gives natural, believable routining and transforms the effect into a masterful phenomenon. A principle seldom used, plus not too well known in the world of magic! The “Wise Men” know not to ask what’s new... they ask what’s old! The Magi asks for two volunteers. He then passes out to each, one blank face card and requests them to mentally picture a playing card of their choice (no force) and to stare and concentrate on the blank face—one spectator is to think of any red card and the other to think of any black card.

The Magi then picks up another blank face card and a Sharpie marker and upon staring at the first spectator, secretly writes a name of a card, supposedly reading the first spectator’s mind. When finished the Magi places this mentally thought of card into an innocent-looking walnut stand and does the same for the second spectator. Now for the moment of revelation!

The Magi spreads out the cards and requests the spectators to now reveal their mentally chosen cards and upon so doing their cards are culled out and also placed in the stand—their cards facing the audience. The Magi now revolves the stand to reveal that his predictions impossibly match the freely chosen spectator cards! Voila! A psychology and mentalism at its best! The stand is ungimmicked. No sleights. No false moves. Stand turned out of solid walnut. You will love performing this effect and mystifying your audience and entertains them as well. Effect comes with stand, blank cards, Sharpie marker and detailed instructions.

Other interesting facts.... These are all hand-made and indvidually designed from Air-Dried Black Walnut, from the Walnut Valley in Kansas. There is NO Stain, it is all the natural wood burls! Each set is indivdually numbered and signed. Trust us you will NOT be dissapointed!

No two will ever be the same!

Colorama - an original effect created by “Chop-Chop” (Al Wheatley). This model crafted exclusively for us from Louie Gaynor. The quality if exceptional, the effect equally as strong.

Effect: Three colored balls, sit on a numbered stand. A spectator mentally chooses one ball and, while the performer’s back is turned, silently changes the places of the other two balls. Now the performer asks the spectator to exchange any two balls, and to call out their numbers. This is repeated any number of times. When finished, the performer turns around and immediately discloses the color of the ball mentally selected by the spectator! IMPOSSIBLE, yet true!

• No sleights!
• No confederates!

An effect that you will so enjoy performing! 2-inch red, yellow and black balls on 8.5 x 2.5 x 1-inch wood stand. Limited quantities. Made exclusively for us by Louis Gaynor.

Johnny Thompson’s signature effect! Created by one of magic’s top professionals for trade show work, private parties and any close-up venue! This is the latest, version made of the finest leather that has sold for up to $250.00.

If you’ve seen Johnny perform this miracle, you fully understand the huge impact you receive, when a spectator’s freely chosen card is—beforehand predicted and a $20.00 bill or $100.00 bill is offered to the spectator IF the prediction is wrong! Of course, it is NOT wrong and the performer comes out on top each time. A card is shown in a wallet before starting the effect and then exposed at the end for the correct prediction. But even better, the magician claims they were SO certain that particular card would be chosen, they had that card embossed on the backside of the wallet that was holding the predicted card!

Upon turning over the wallet - sure enough - the spectators' freely chosen card is embossed on the leather wallet! Oh so clever! Comes complete with everything you need, a professional routine for professionals. No sleights required. The effect works itself and you can spend your time focusing on the presentation. No need to pay up to $185 or more! (Excellent for all languages!)
