*Coin Wand M171-1949, NOW $350.00
Manufactured by Johnson Products
RARE!
I love coin wands, have collected them for years, probably have collected 30-40 different new and antique wands. The Johnson coin wand was made back in the late 70's-early 80's timeframe, and it is the Rolls Royce of coin wands, no one else has ever come close to that quality. Porper's wands are good, but still do not match the Johnson one that has not been made for about 30 years.
Your other hand does not have to cover or aid the coin when it vanishes from the tip of the wand, it also comes with a brass plug, that allows the wand to be shown clearly, from either end/tip as a normal wand.  The sliding pin has the proper angle as found on the old time wands and the coin is not a folding coin, but a specially gimmicked one that is correctly soldered in place.
The coin is a 1969 Kennedy Half.
13" in length, includes original velvet carry bag.
Condition is MINT. Operation is very smooth coming out and going in.
This wand was most likely made by Mike Caveney years ago during his time at Johnson.
With Original instructions & Black cloth bag

Condition - Mint with original instructions & bag

Die Box Large Custom made   M101-1838    NOW  $225.00

Large 3.75 inch die, no double door.  Sliding gimmick sounds great.

Beautiful wood workmanship

This is really for collectors of die boxes, It looks great on your shelf beside your other collections, because of the beautiful inlaid woodwork on the doors, makes it very unique, however the shell when in the box, after the die has vanished from the box, is not well concealed.  So, I don’t think it is a good performance piece.

I paid much more for this piece, it was after I bought it, I realized how the shell looked in the box. Box is 10.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches

Excellent Condition, like new – no instructions

Forgetful Yogi Bear / Card in Balloon - Warren Hamilton    M991-1798     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.

Giddy Guardsman by Billy Day    M241-1940 NOW $150.00

A terrific children's effect which is no longer manufactured.  All the props are well made in wood and are large and colorful.  They consist of two Guards, a Sentry Box, a garden wall with two trees, a small comical looking dog, add to this lots and lots of "business" plus audience participation and you will see it is a winner.  The magical happenings are too numerous to detail but it adds up to 15 minutes solid entertainment
Condition, USED but usable, and can easily be touched up with a little paint

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.

 

Condition:  NEW!

Jack and Jill M251-1956, NOW $150.00
Manufactured by Jack Hughes
VERY RARE!
Effect; Magician asks the kids "Do you Know the story of Jack & Jill?" of course they do! the magician continues "Jack was a little girl, and Jill was a little boy", of course the kids, point out you are wrong, after some by play, you acknowledge that you get confused.
  As magician continues story "they went up the hill to fetch a glass of water", magician displays plaque with a hill and a well, and of course kids correct you, they went to get a pail of water.
As Magician continues story, the well plaque opens up to reveal Jack and Jill. Magician continues story of how Jack fell down and broke his head, kids correct you, magician removes Jack's Head, and continues story, of How Jill laughed at him so hard she fell down too, and broke her crown too. Magician removes Her head also.
  Magician says, that's a problem, and he tries to put their heads back on, but he puts them on backwards, then kids correct him, he takes them off, and puts the heads on the wrong bodies, "See, I told you Jack was a little girl & Jill was a little boy!"
  After the usual by play magician removes the heads, and states the kids need to go to the "Head Hospital" So he folds Jack and Jill back up, and shows the well, and displays the "Head Hospital", opens the door on the hospital, puts the heads in there, and closes the door. Say the Magic Words, reopens the hospital door, and the heads have vanished, picks up the well, unfolds it to show the heads have returned!

What is great about this trick, uses a story the children are familiar with, and does the fun effect of a forgetful Freddie without the popping of a balloon, which as we all know does upset some children from time to time!

Condition - very good, especially considering the age, still very workable.

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.

One card is unique from all of the others in that it has a different colored back
and face. The unique card is extended from the pack and the pack is locked
together by the insertion of a wooden wickett. The spectator is asked to push
the loose card into the pack until it just comes in contact with the wickett. As
the card is pushed in it continues until it is squared off with the other six cards.
The cards are then fanned out and the loose card is found to be locked onto the
wickett with the other six cards.
