Effect: Courtney the Clown is shown in his circus tent. He is placed inside his caravan (a blue one). Courtney is seen to move from his caravan to another one (a red one). A lot of business and by-play as he keeps moving from one caravan to the other. Sometimes he pops out from the side of the red caravan. Having replaced Courtney back in his blue caravan, after a little more activity you can open the front and back doors of both caravans to show that Courtney has vanished. Returning to the circus tent you open the front to show Courtney back there ready for his next show.

Effect: So simple yet so powerful. The moon is removed from the single cloud and placed in the double-cloud frame. The door is shut then the box is tilted. When the door is opened the moon has vanished. You close the door, tilt the frame and the audience hears the moon roll to the other side. The audience yells for you to "Open the other door" but you keep rolling the moon behind the closed one. Finally, both doors are swung open and the moon has vanished. The moon then appears above the single cloud frame.  But you do not see it, the kids see it only when you are not looking, when you look he is nowhere in sight, you open the single cloud frame, and it is empty, but when you look else where, the kids see it again, above the cloud, after the usual byplay, you finally see it also.

condition: very good, a few scratches, but mostly on the back, and can easily be re-touched, works great, and includes instructions. 

   A ‘little mouse’ and his friend ‘a dog’ live next door to each other, but when ‘the dog’ went on holiday… a horrible ‘big cat’ moved in next door… the ‘little mouse’ became very frightened… children feel very sorry for the ‘little mouse’ .  With the help of Magic Spells & Wands, the cat becomes small and the mouse becomes BIG.  But, “oh dear” mouse is too big to fit into his own little house.  Again with the help of more Magic & Wands.. The cat is vanished and the happy little mouse is back into his own little house and his friend Big Dog is back next door.

Condition: Excellent, looks close to new! – with instructions

  Here's a smashing kids' trick - One which packs flat and small in your bag, and which looks big and impressive when set-up in the show.
   A very clever principle is used, different to the usual methods employed during the traditional Type 'passé-passé', sucker effects.
   On display are two colorful Castle Holders. Holders are in grey, black:, blue and white. They are varnished for protection. Holders have a cut out window right through them. In front of the holders are two colorful 14" x 10" cards. One of the cards depicts a wicked old witch, the other one a Happy Pumpkin
   The magician explains how the pumpkin is really a prince, turned into a pumpkin by the witch. The witch card is placed into the castle, and to stop her from getting out a clip is placed over the top.
   Similarly, pumpkin is placed into the other castle and a clip is placed over. Telling of tales of the strange happenings which occur after dark, the magician partially covers one of the castles with a cloth, so that the window is obscured
   When he replaces the castle on the table, the children see him craftily turning this around
   Magician takes the remaining castle with the witch looking through the window, and passes this swiftly around his back.
   Immediately it is seen that the witch has gone, and there looking through the window is the Pumpkin. When the castle on the table is uncovered there is the witch!
   The effect is repeated, the witch and the pumpkin 'repeatedly changing places. The children lose no time in telling you that the pictures are really double-sided. - There's a pumpkin on the back of the witch and vice versa;  Now the cards are removed completely from their respective castles (which are seen to be empty, apart from these giant cards). Magician appears to misunderstand the children's request to turn the pictures around. He turns them upside-down and then back: again.
    Finally, he does turn the cards over. On the back of the witch card is an ugly frog, on the back of the pumpkin, a handsome young prince.
  

Now what really makes this unusual and a fooler, is the castles have a hole in place of the window, so when you pull the entire cards out of the castle, they are seeing completely thru the castle, and out the other side. And the magician is left with two thin placards depicting the changed items, takes Hippitty Hop Rabbits leaps and bounds ahead, and what's more, the props are far more colorful, done in the excellent silk screening that was the signature of Supreme Props.  AND it packs flat and plays BIG!!!

I have more than one set of these in my personal collection,, some had a turn style leg on the bottom of the castles, so they could stand upright by themselves, these do not, and in the instructions with these they refer to using the metal stands to support them on, well these did not have any stands with them either, so I am including a set, that are obviously not the original stands.  It should be noted that this set was probably the improved version over the set with their own feet, since the feet were the weakest part of the entire apparatus, they were forever falling off, or did not do a very good job of holding the castles upright, but using the collapsible stands that is not an issue.

Prop is in Very good condition, especially when you consider their age, And includes original Supreme instructions detailing routine, however the original instructions pages are numbered 1-5, only page 1 is missing, which is just the description of the effect, page 2 starts out discussing the working of the trick, and the detailed routine, however I will include a copy of the first page from one of my other sets, so you are complete.

Also the original included a 24" cloth to cover the first castle with, I will let you supply your own, since you may have your own preference of colors etc.  The original also included two colored clothes pins, which are no longer here, so I will include 2 standard clothes pins.

Effect: Show a large plastic silk screened picture of a traffic light (the artwork is so nice, the kids love it right from the start).  Printed in the circles where the lights should be are the words GO, SLOW and STOP.  But there are no colors! You wipe the front of the drawing with your star covered magic cloth.  Now the colors are there, but the words are all in the wrong places, it says GO in the red light, STOP in the yellow light, and SLOW in the green light!  One more wipe!  Well, the words are gone, but now there are stars all over the traffic light!  Have the kids shout the magic words and – now the lights are finally covered in – Red, Yellow and Green.  But, the colors are upside down!  Hang a broken sign on the picture and have the kids shout a different magic word.  Take away the sign and – STRIPES! Red, yellow and green STRIPES!  Quickly put the sign back!  Have the kids shout “Safety First” – Now when you remove the sign, the colors are finally in the correct order, and all is well with the world.  As a final kicker, the “Broken” sign changes into a cute drawing of a policeman saying “Remember, Safety First!”

STOPPIT comes to you complete with the large 12x19 inches, 8 color silk screened plastic picture of the traffic light, the “BROKEN” sign, the “Safety FIRST” sign, the Magic Star cloth, and the complete routine.  A great trick with a wonderful Safety Theme.

Condition: excellent, made to last a lifetime! With instructions
