ALA BILLY -
(Based on the McCombical Deck by Billy McComb) A prediction card is shown and you state that if the prediction turns out wrong you will give everything in your wallet to the assisting spectator. The prediction card is placed in view and you then show some cards to the rest of the audience. THE CARDS ARE ALL THE SAME (matches of the prediction card) You smile and say "I never fail." This will evoke laughter. The unsuspecting spectator is then told to select one of the cards and to name it aloud. He names an entirely different card. It will look like you just goofed, but when the prediction card is turned over IT MATCHES THE CARD SELECTED.Great close up, walk around item. Can be examined. Excellent comedy.

A classic. Twelve cards are counted out by a spectator who places them into an empty envelope and retains it . Another twelve cards are counted out and three cards are removed from this batch by three different spectators who show them to the audience and return them back to the batch. These cards are openly held by the magician who makes the three selected cards leave his hand and travel into the envelope held by the first spectator. He then openly counts the cards in his hand - he has only NINE cards. Spectator with the envelope removes the cards and counts them - he now has FIFTEEN cards. The spectators who selected the cards are told to call them out loud, one at a time, and the spectator with the fifteen cards finds them in his batch that was in the envelope.

We had this on the market a few years ago then couldn't get the proper part and had to stop production. Well we have found the necessary part and it is much better than the original. EFFECT = Card is selected and returned to the deck. A small box is brought out and opened to show a miniature human hand. "This hand was once a magician 's hand. but he was so bad a magician that the magician's union shipped him out to the jungle of some distant country to perform for the natives figuring that they wouldn't know if his magic was good or bad. Well, let me tell you, THEY KNEW. And they don't fool around over there. In some countries if you get caught stealing they chop off your hand. In the jungle they do that to bad magicians. Yep, they chopped off his hand and shrunk it. This is it! And look , they also shrunk his deck of cards." Inside the box is also a small deck of playing cards which are brought out with the little hand. Magician holds both in his cupped hands. "Well the magician was bad but his hand alone is much better. Sir, please concentrate on the card that you picked from the regular deck. Now watch!" SLOWLY THE MINIATURE HAND CREEPS OUT FROM THE MAGICIAN'S CUPPED HANDS - AND IT IS HOLDING A MINIATURE CARD -THE DUPLICATE OF THE CARD SELECTED FROM THE DECK. - - This is a FUN TRICK and a completely different revelation of a selected card. With all necessary components. GREAT CLOSE UP MAGIC. - $12.00

WHAT A POKER DEAL -
You play three hands of Poker with a spectator and never lose.

NEW CLEAN METHOD. NO SLEIGHT OF HAND.

Ten cards are shown and shuffled by a spectator. You then deal out two Poker hands to spectator and yourself. YOUR HAND WINS.

Have the cards shuffled again but this time instead of dealing out the cards you have the spectator tell you whether or not he wants a particular card as you go through them. Give him the cards he wants and you take what you want. STILL HE LOSES.

Spectator shuffles the cards again for one more hand. This time you deal out two hole cards, one to the spectator and one to yourself. The cards are now held with faces showing and the spectator can choose if he wants the card showing. BUT he also controls the cards you get because the ones he rejects become your cards. HE STILL LOSES.

Great routine with a Himber wallet where, at the beginning, you show three bills in the wallet and wager them in the three Poker hands, each time showing the bills. At the end you say, "Don't feel bad sir, look, we weren't playing for anything anyway." AS YOU SHOW THE WALLET - EMPTY.
THIS IS A GREAT CLOSE UP WALK AROUND ROUTINE. I use it on every close up gig and also, with Jumbo cards, on EVERY adult show.

Regular Poker Cards - -$ 15.00 ==== Jumbo Cards $18.00

(Note: Himber wallet not included.)
