Clyde - Magic Rabbit -   TENYO T-174   M201-1791  NOW $95.00
Created by Tooru Suzuki
Who is Clyde? The greatest, most adorable, most amazing bunny rabbit anyone has ever seen. It seems alive. Clyde's head and arms move - and it looks impossible! Not only does Clyde look alive, he finds the right card too!
  So this is a cross between "Charles out of my Hat" and a non gory Kevin James' amputated hand 
 Performer puts on a glove and goes into box, cage or table to retrieve his very "dangerous animal, he has been known to nibble fingers off"
And performer brings out the bunny apparently holding it with his gloved hand, and he begins to move, like any other puppet.
  There are dozens of bits and tricks written with using puppets, great entertainment for kids and adults.
   Clyde is a very cute bunny.  What I like about this puppet is, I have very big fat hands, I use puppets all the time in my shows, but 99% of the puppets I have tried, I can not get my hand into them, or if I do, my hand is to large to manipulate puppet.  But not with clyde.
   Clyde does not appear to have been used, but the original packaging is gone, and comes only with photo copy of the instructions.  Comes with extra glove.

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

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.

Zoo---Loo  by Bob Kline, this was built by him!   M101-1827 $90.00
An original Children's effect from the man that brought you Copenetro. A wood cage standing 12 3/4 inches high is shown along with a large blank card that is shown on both sides. A card is selected from a pack that has many different animals. The cage is turned around with the back toward the audience and the selected card is revealed and the cage is turned around to show the same animal within! The deck of animal cards is absent so you may either make a trip to the local toy store for one or take a deck of blank cards and get busy writing the names of many different animals as it is only necessary to perform a simple force regardless. The two choices you have in case of back to back performance is a bear or a parrot.
