Double Bill Tube [Peerless]
$79.95
The Double Bill Tube is without a doubt one of the most extraordinary magical props you will ever hope to use. When properly presented, no other close-up miracle can compare. This effect was invented by a very good friend of mine, the late Walter Gibson (Magician, Creator of the 'Shadow', ghostwriter for Houdini, Blackstone and Thurston, and one of the most creative minds in magic). A brass tube with a screw cap is shown empty, threaded closed, and sealed with a sticker affixed to the cap. The sealed tube is then left in Full View. The sealed container is now place within a second, larger tube, which is capped and also sealed with a sticker. This doubly sealed unit is held by a spectator. A previously borrowed dollar bill, with it's serial number noted and having been marked, is caused to vanish! The spectator holding the nested, sealed tubes is instructed to break the seals and remove the contents. The Identical Marked Bill is found within the second sealed tube!! Our deepest thanks to Walter Gibson and to Carl Brema, who made some of Walter's dreams into Magical realities. We hope that those purchasing this effect will agree that the Brema tradion is still alive...quality brass construction by Viking Mfg.

Stop Trick [Val Evans']
$55.95
Long off the market, the Val Evans Stop Trick has been considered one of the classics in card-control effects. In typical Viking quality fashion, this effect is made in select hardwood with brass accents to compliment any discriminating program.
A standard deck of playing cards (Bicycle Poker included, but you can use any deck), a length of colorful ribbon, and a simple wooden Houlette are displayed to your spectators. Two cards are selected by your audience, and the cards are returned to the deck. A ribbon is placed over the top of the Houlette followed by the deck of cards which pushes the ribbon downward. The Face (or Bottom) of the deck is visible through the hole in the back of the Houlette - the Top (or Back) of the deck faces the brass clip in the Houlette.
The card at the Face of the deck is partially lifted so that it may be confirmed that this was not one of the selected cards. Now the Top card of the deck is lifted, and it too, proves to be an indifferent card. The Houlette is now turned so that the back of the cards face the audience. One by one the cards are removed the Houlette, each card being placed behind a clip at the front of the Houlette. At ANY TIME, the spectator can call "STOP"! The cards are removed from the clip and shown to be all different! Magician exclaims, "You could have stopped me on any of these cards, but you chose this precise moment to shout STOP"! The performer pulls outward on the ribbon from both ends, and the entire deck rises out of the Houlette. The spectator themself is allowed to remove the very next card and it proves to be the selected card!!! The effect may be repeated with a second card, with the same amazing results!!! Great for Close-up and Platform Performances... with a classic prop and effect!!!
