Jumping Jack Cash - Money Morphosis

June 25, 2007

Hello friends,

Here is a great effect that you may not be aware of.

Originally released as Flash Currency Transformation, we later changed the name to get away from any assumptions that fire or Flash Bills were used. Ronjo Magic & Costumes Inc, owns all manufacturing rights to this effect.

This effect has been copied and renamed by the competition. Treasury Transpo is available elsewhere for $27.00 but you can own the original for less. That’s right the original Jumping Jack Cash is only $16.99 and the copy is $10.00 more! Does that mean our version is made of a lesser quality? No what it means that another dealer is taking advantage of the uneducated.

Jumping Jack Cash is a powerful close-up effect thats uses audiance participation and a borrowed bill. The change is fast as lighting and everything is examinable in the end.

Effect: A dollar bill is shown trapped between two plastic sheets. The plastic pieces have been fastened with rubber bands and a padlock has been locked through a corner of the sheets and the bill. A spectator is asked to initial the bill through a hole in the top piece of plastic. Then the magician borrows another dollar bill and signs it.The spectator is given the padlocked bill to hold. A handkerchief is placed over the bill and the spectator’s hand. The magician places the borrowed bill under the handkerchief and instantly brings it back out again. When the spectator checks the signature, he’s amazed to see that this is the bill that was locked up in the plastic! When the bill in the plastic is unlocked by the spectator, it is discovered to be the borrowed bill!

Jumping Jack Cash comes with 2 plastic sheets, 2 wide rubber bands, mini padlock, 2 keys and instructions.

Pro tip for owners of Jumping Jack Cash:
If you find the initial set up is taking you too long due to toleracnes in the white border of the bill, you can easily frame the edges of the acrylic sheets with pinstripe tape or mask the inside near the edges with tape and paint a frame around the edge with nail polish, acrylic paint or a permanent marker.

Until next time,
Thanks for reading!

We of course stock Yigal Mesika’s Loops

  • Move a fork with the power of your mind
  • A deck of cards literally SPITS out the spectators selection
  • Invisible in almost ALL light conditions

From talented Israeli magician Yigal Mesika comes one of the most powerful utility gimmicks ever invented. These invisible thread loops are strong enough to move silverware or a pair of sunglasses fearlessly, stretch to ten inches without breaking and make an incredible array of stunning effects not only possible, but very practical. The loops can be worn all day long without fear of snagging or breaking and you will always be ready to perform a miracle.

You get instructions to perform two incredible effects, the loops themselves and tips on how to extend the lives of your loops. You’ll find yourself carrying these everywhere you go ready to perform at a moments notice. Loops allow you to do the impossible right before the unbelieving eyes of your spectators.

The materials given to you that allow you to do things that are unimaginable. They are the most ingenious (yet inexpensive) magic prop of this century. They are awesome and I recommend any close up (or even stage) performer. Pick up some along with Animated Miracles to enhance the use of your Loops.

SLAM - Tornado Coin Merge by Travis McPherson (soon to be added to the website)

A twisted coin merge that gets a shocking reaction…

Borrow two coins and SLAM them together in a twisted cross of metal.
The coins are fused together – literally — visibly. Hand the coins out for
examination.
The secret will not be found. It’s physically unbreakable.

Signature Edition Sketchpad Card Rise by Martin Lewis

June 13, 2007

Hello friends,

Some years back Martin Lewis released Cardiographic. You’ve seen David Copperfield do this one a TV. Over the years many pros such as Johnny Thompson, Micheal Weber, Whit Haydn have added this to their act.

I have always loved this great effect. Before it was available to the public, Zanadu tried to create a similar prop. One where you drew the card, then the deck then a card came out of the pack. A real Jumbo Bic, that you took out and showed. It was at the very least, mediocre. The frame was only about 12″ x 9″ and mechanically weak. But that was all that was available at the time, so if that was what you wanted, you had to settle on it.

Martin Lewis has revamped the original Cardiographic. and his new version is now available to you.

Here it is the Signature Edition Sketchpad Card Rise.

Presenting Martin’s classic effect in which a card rises from a drawing and is then handed out as a souvenir. This brand new signature version is designed and made by Martin’s Magikraft Studios. It’s better, faster, and far mores durable than any other version ever. It includes DVD instruction on care, handling, and performance. Insights gained by 30 years of performing experience.

Contents:

  • It features a hard wearing laminated cover and an extra heavyweight backboard.
  • The oversize spiral makes the action fast and easy and the new plastic gimmick will never warp.
  • A redesigned template makes drawing the picture faster.
  • Plus lots more improvements that come from those many years of real world performance
  • My thoughts:
    Don’t miss your chance to own a time tested classic that’s built better, faster, stronger. Here are some of the improvements that I’ve noticed. While some of them may not seem to be that big of a deal, I assure you in a live performance all these factors add up. And you want them to add up to success and not failure.

    The covers won’t tear or bend. The backing is thicker so it is easier to draw on. The spiral is larger so you can tear off the sheet fast without ripping the page. The cover is more deceptive because of it’s coloring. The gaff at the back is smaller and now blends in with the cardboard. The “rising card” fits better and won’t hang up anymore. The template is better so you can draw faster. Even if you already own Cardiographic you’ll want this new improved model.

    Until next time.

    Thanks for reading!

    Mental Eyes by Jay Leslie

    June 12, 2007

    Hello friends,

    There are a lot of effects out there. Sometimes we see one we really like a lot but because of the sheer amount of them, how can you be sure to get your hands on the elite ones?

    We’ve been stocking Jay Leslie’s Mental Eyes for a number of years now. It has always been an under the radar. No one here demo’s it, It doesn’t have a name like the Invisible Deck or Color Monte. So it gets lost. Oh sure we sell one or two by those who stumble upon it every now and again.

    Take a closer look. This may be one of the most powerful effects you will ever come across!

    Here is the effect as described by Jay Leslie’s House Of Enchantment.

    A regular pack of Bicycle cards are handed to a volunteer who is asked to shuffle them. The performer turns his back. He may even wear a real blindfold. A single card is removed, face down, by the volunteer. The magicians back is still turned, he may even be out of the room. The volunteer is asked to cover the card so the magician can not see it in any way. The magicians back is still turned. The magician has the volunteer place the 51 remaining cards back in the box. The magicians back is still turned. The volunteer is asked to secretly look at his selection. He is asked to return his selection back into the deck. The deck, if you remember is in the box and yes, the magicians back is still turned. The volunteer is asked to place his face down card ANYWHERE in the pack. He is asked to close the flap. Once the cards are sealed in the box, and only then, does the magician turn to face the audience. He also removes the blindfold, if he was wearing one. The magician does not know the name of the card at this point. The magician recaps “You shuffled the deck, removed a single card then replaced it & closed the flap of the box. I have never touched the cards. Is there any way I could know the name of the card you selected?’Without blinking, the magician names the selected card. Many times the audience drops their jaws because it seems impossible.
    We supply instructions and the Mental Eyes gimmick. You supply a regular pack of Bicycle cards.

    * No sleight of hand
    * No forcing
    * No mentalism phycho-babble. Mental Eyes is straight forward
    * A borrowed deck can be used
    * The cards are not marked in any way
    * Can be repeated
    * No rough and smooth, double backer or double facers are used
    * You can borrow a box of Bicycle cards to perform Mental Eyes
    * Mental Eyes is a reputation maker

    Nothing is added or taken away from the deck the volunteer places his card into. The cards are never bent. The volunteer is free to place his card on top, bottom or anywhere in between. The magician does not remove and replace the card. The magician does not know the location of the card. He never touches the selected card. Remember, the magicians back is turned throughout the entire selection and return process. Only after the flap is closed and the cards are sealed in the box does the magician know the card. Mental Eyes is a real stunner. It’s one of those tricks you can perform under test conditions.

    Does this sound too good to be true? The answer is yes, it does sound too good to be true. But the fact is this is a simple self working effect that anyone can learn in no time. Simple and effective. I can’t believe it took me three years to discover its potential.

    Pick up Mental Eyes today, you are going to love it.

    Until next time.

    Thanks,
    Pete
