Here is a very clever magic wand, one that sticks to both hands when all the fingers are showing. Can be mastered in a few minutes.

A playing card is put into an envelope. It is then sealed up. The envelope is then cut in half  - the Lady  (this may vary) emerges unhurt. Comes with enough materials to perform 10 times and the materials are readily available afterwards. All you need is a pair of scissors. Very easy to do!!

Take a tumbler and a little hanky. Pour some water into the tumbler and pour it back into the jug. Dry the tumbler with the hanky and put inside. Cover the tumbler with a large cloth and get someone to hold the large cloth around the top of it. The hanky is now trapped in the crystal castle, but being a Houdini Hanky it is able to escape. As quick as you can blink, Houdini has escaped. The assistants hands have not left the glasss. This needs a bit of handling but not hard to do. Comes with everything, except the water and the jug.

You give a band of paper to two spectators and keep one for yourself. You then ask spectator one and two to cut 2 single bands of paper from the pieces of paper given (by cutting them in half through the centre). Both try without success, the first cutting one large band and the second cutting two bands linked together. The Magician then shows everyone how do it and takes his well earned bows. Supplied enough for 5 performances. After you know the secret this is easy to replace. One is made for you. All you need to supply is some glue and some scissors. Very easy to perform.

You show a sheet of paper A4 in size and some smaller pieces of different coloured paper. You say you are going to make a picture of a wizard. You open the big piece of paper and put the small pieces on top and fold the big piece of paper into a small packet with the pieces inside. You say the magic word open the paper up and it has changed into a coloured picture of your Coloured Wizard. Needs a little handling practice. Everything supplied.

Here's a great little trick which you can do anywhere. It uses Polo mint sweets with the holes through in the middle. I hope you enjoy the trick. Thread some mints on a looped string with one looped at the bottom over a single string to hold them on. A spectator holds the mints under a cloth (supplied) but you manage to release the mints from the string. Needs a little practice. Enough supplied for a few performances, then buy your own Polos.
