Comedy Passe Passe Bubble UP Bottles Original Rings'N'Things         M101-1793       NOW  $500.00

Back in the 70's Rings'N'Things made highest quality metal items, especially those items that required metal spinning, it leaped ahead of anyone else, and to be honest, to this date no one can touch their workmanship. Their Multiplying bottles and Passe Passe bottles were the best. Like so many of the other sets before they were always in the alcohol type of bottles, making them inappropriate for children, school, church and general family audiences. However R'nT decided to test a soda pop bottle, thus the creation of "Bubble-up" bottles. The test was very well received, unfortunately, RnT went out of business before very many were made. These bottles ALSO included is the ORIGINAL box & instructions.  Supply your own glass.  All are in excellent condition!

Forgetful Yogi Bear / Card in Balloon - Warren Hamilton    M101-1798     NOW  $185.00

Yogi stands 18 inches tall. A card is chosen, yogi will try to do this trick, however he is about to lose his head while doing the trick, his head is removed (ala Forgetful Freddie) and vanished via devils hank, (supply you own), but no "magician can do a card trick without a head, so balloon is inflated, attached to Yogi's shoulder, where is head should be.  Suddenly when you are ready, the balloon burst and his head is restored, where it should be, AND he is also now holding the chosen card!

 

So what you have is 2 tricks in one, A forgetful freddie routine and a card in balloon trick all combined.

 

I don't know if Warren Hamilton got in to any trouble over this effect.

 

Some kids are still familiar with Yogi Bear, he is shown on Cartoon Network, and still many books written with Yogi as the star.

 

There are no instructions

Condition:  IN  good condition.  Item was not painted, it was a cutout of a picture of yogi transferred to wood, and then varnished over, so there is some natural cracking in the picture, but not noticeable from few feet away, the "cracking just makes it look antiqued. See photos.

Hippety Hop Barneys       M101-1802     NOW $ 385.00

Hippety Hop Barneys, OH  VERY LARGE, STAGE SIZE, the covers alone are 15.25 inches high, 9.5 inches wide, 1.75 inches deep. The dinosaur is 15.25 inches tall with base, and at it's widest point 8 inches. 

 

The dinosaurs change colors, back and forth between purple and blue, just like the regular white and black bunnies of hippety hop rabbits, but the kicker ending is they change to a boy and girl.

 

The shells are made of hard plastic kind of material, and the dinosaurs are on a nice hardwood, painting has been done by silk screening.  If this were not Barneys, and obviously not in trademark infringement, this would retail easily for $300 plus. You will not be disappointed in the quality of this product.

 

The story behind this (what I was told): Douglas Magicland designed these to be made back in the 80's or

90's, they commissioned a local craftsman to build them, high quality.  They originally ordered 12 sets to be made.  Either Barney trademark owners got wind of it, or Douglas Magicland got nervous and realized their legal exposure, causing them to cancel the order.

 

The craftsman had not completed the full order, but was stuck with what they had already built.  A friend of mine, got wind of it and ordered them directly from the craftsman (Douglas did not want to touch it).  My friend has had them wrapped carefully and stored under perfect conditions all these years, and has now dug them out to sell them.

 

There were never instructions made for these, since they never made their way to Douglas, so I will include a copy of instructions for regular Hippety Hop Rabbits.

 

The flap is of simple design, no magnets.  These are heavy made, they weigh a total of 8 pounds.

Multiplying  Pipes            M191-RS1767              NOW  $ 30.00

By Tannens circa 50’s or early 60’s

Since the days of the great Cardini, cigarette manipulation has been a part of many outstanding magicians’ repertoire. The hardest part of working out a routine, however, was finding a “finish.” Now we offer one that is almost self-working while being logical, very visible and really says, “The End.” Imagine tossing off or vanishing your last cigarette, reaching into the air and producing a pipe - and it’s lit! Yes, you puff real smoke from it. But that’s not all. There appears another pipe next to the first, then a third, then a fourth, and you blow smoke from each one! Based on the multiplying candies principle, these pipes are sturdy, visible and handle easily. You’ll love them!

  Pretty good condition, another item purchased from the estate of Vic Kirk

OBEDIENT ROPE, THE         M152-1641         Now  $ 5.00

by JERRY NOVACK

In this effect an ordinary looking length of rope becomes rigid, then limp. You begin with the rope wrapped around your hand to illustrate that it is "plain, ordinary rope." You continue to show the rope to be ordinary by tying it into a loose knot. Now you claim that you will "hypnotize" the rope. While holding the rope both ends, you wiggle it as you say, "Rope, you will become rigid." With a comedy routine, which is enclosed, you will suspend the rope to oohs and aahs of the audience!

After about ten seconds, you hold rope horizontally, with hands about 4" from each end, to show no sagging. You stare at rope, slowly saying, "And now back to the real rope world." You wind the rope around your hand or make a knot and take your bow. A second routine is also included in this cute rope effect. Wonderful for clowns and magicians who work with children.

Now what can be really great about this one version, is it is made from standard Magicians cotton rope, so you could switch it out and do something else, like hand it out for exam.

Regular Price $7.50

Prince and the Pumpkin by Supreme Magic  M101-1811  NOW $150.00
   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.

Time-X or Monkey Bar      M171-1736      NOW   $ 12.00  SOLD

Unknown mfr
Monkey Bar is an Effect originated by Jack Hughes, this one comes with
instructions that calls it Time-X, so I do not know who made this one. Even
though the effect in eyes of audience is same as “acrobatic silks”, it is not
same method, there is no reset time with this one as opposed to “acrobatic
silks”, well made
Effect:
The performer begins by displaying a block of solid wood with three pieces of
rope attached. A a borrowed watch is tied to the end of one of the ropes,
clearly seen knotted tightly around the rope.
The performer then explains that watch, hanging on the left outermost rope, will
magically jump to the right outermost rope. Passing the block behind his back
for a second, he then shows the block again, and the watch is seen to
have "jumped" to the right rope! The audience groans.
The performer explains that the watch will now jump back to the left rope.
Again, passing the block behind his back, it re-emerges displaying the watch on
the left rope. "I'll keep doing this until you LIKE it!" the performer says
jokingly.
"OK, OK... How about if I make the watch jump to the middle rope. Would THAT be
a good trick? WOULD THAT BE A GOOD TRICK?" The audience yells out in
anticipation and approval! The performer places the block of wood behind his
back for a split-second, and displaying it one last time, the watch is seen
hanging from the middle rope! “See time does fly!”
Perfect for MCs, comedy magicians, children's magicians, or just a fun interlude
for any magician.

Wacky Weasel   M101-1823   NOW $650.00
This is an ACTION PACKED routine that is guaranteed to bring fun & laughter to both Adults and children. The basic routine is very similar to the Classic Snake Basket effect but at a much more rapid pace with a few more animations and features. The show begins as the Magician asks a spectator to give him a hand with the next trick. A card trick unlike any other as this trick makes use of a WILD ANIMAL!! The magician brings out a Burlap Bag that is THRASHING ABOUT and asks the lady if she would please reach inside and grab the animal as you prepare the Holding Cage. As expected, she refuses and you bravely reach into the bag and withdraw "Wesley the Wacky Weasel". Don't let his sweet looks fool you as he is truly a VISCOUS BEAST! Wesley runs about the magicians body as he is thrown into the BARBED WIRE covered Rustic BOX and the lid is slammed shut to protect the audience from sure DANGER! Wesley begins to raise trouble throughout the routine as the Magician attempts to demonstrate Wesley's Psychic and Magical Skills which include: The routine continues with more gags and magical animations including: 1) Lid Rises as Wesley peeks out 2) Full mechanical control of Wesley rising & lowering 3) Two Ball Launching units 4) Chosen Ball is found upon Wesley's Head 5) Chosen Card is found in Wesley's Mouth 6) Burlap Bag gimmicked to thrash about creating the effect of a WILD ANIMAL in the bag! 7) Fake Barb Wire which is soft to the touch but looks DEADLY
