DEAN'S BOX-$255.00 Dean's Box is probably one of the most talked about effects in magic. Why?? Because it fools everyone!!! A 7" square beautfiul hardwood box is shown. There are opeings in the side and an opening in the top. Ropes and rings passed through the box penetrate and link in the most unbelievable way. An impossible solid thru solid multi phase routine that will surely blow any audience away!! It is a fooler!! Just ask Mike Caveney, Tony Clark, John Carney, Michael Weber, Mark Wilson, David Williamson, John Kennedy, and the others who have seen it. Comes complete with instruction al video. A beautifully made piece of magic that will look great on your table or just in your home to entertain guests. This is a real keeper!!!! PRO VIPER II by Terry Lunceford-$425.00 (ONLY ONE LEFT!!) The most surprising snake basket routine of them all. A card is freely selected, signed by the spectator and shuffled back into the deck. The deck is then placed on the table next to a small wicker basket. You explain how in a few moments, your snake will come out of the basket, crawl down the side and find the card. Much by-play as nothing happens. Give your spectator a little "treat" to go feed the snake. As the spectator approaches the basket, WHAM!! A long snake flies straight up out of the basket with the signed card in its mouth. The effect happens at the right moment and ends the effect where it should be ended. The pacing of this professional routine is perfect. Snake is under your full control with the use of a small remote. Make it leap anytime you wish. No forcing of cards or duplicates. The snake actually gets the signed card. Complete with snake, basket, remote, and full instructional video. ======================================================================== NEW ARRIVAL OF BOOKS THIS MORNING: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF IMPROMPTU MAGIC by Martin Gardner-$30.00 A wealth of information at your fingertips.

LORD OF THE RINGS by Cellini-$15.00 (BACK IN STOCK, LIMITED NUMBER) There are many linking ring routines. Some use eight rings, others use 6, 5, 4, and 3 rings. When Cellini presents his lecture, he performs this amazing routine using only two rings!! That's it!! One key ring and one solid. It is his way of illustrating that even the simplest of premises can create great magic. It is amazing to see a group of magicians watching a man with nothing more than a key ring and a solid ring, and yet it is truly magical. The handling of the key ring and the methods of linking and unlinking are truly magical. These techniques and handlings of the rings will make you truly believe that you are watching solid melt through solid. It is done quietly. No clanging of the rings. They look like rings of smoke that visibly melt through each other. Most routines, no matter how many rings are used, all begin with a demonstration of linking and unlinking of the first two rings. Here is a routine that you can perform as Cellini performs them or you can add these techniques to your existing routine. Either way, you will create magic with your rings! You will stand in front of a mirror and amaze even yourself when you perform these moves. It is that good!!! This ring routine was originally published in Cellini's Royal Touch book.
