Genii Tube Revisited- The Genii Tube principle is similar to a Phantom Tube, except that the cylindrical tube is split in half and can be opened like a book. This lends itself to being transformed from a cylindar to a rectangular tube that can be made from strips of hardboard. The fabric or prism paper covering also works well to decorate this prop. An effect is given for use with the tube; an ungimmicked 20th Century Silks. The tube does it all. It produces the three individual silks for starters; vanishes the main silk; reproduces the three silks tied together.

Magic House of Mystery - The Parker Swan Dollhouse is based on the Jack Gwynne Spee-Dee Rabbit Production. Both props suffer from a basic flaw- they are not very deceptive. The three-fold screen is brought out for each prop and obviously is hiding SOMETHING. Let’s see if we can improve on that concept.

Visible Vanish- I originally published this in Genii Magazine back in 1960 under the name Victor the Magician, and now have revisited it and rediscovered that it can be made into a lean trim vanish for a dove or bunny in a size that makes it look truly impossible. 3 Variations given.

Cow and Milk Trick Revisited - The original by U.F. Grant (1955) was one of his less popular ideas and is no longer on the market. But the concept was sound and the idea was cute, and if you build it yourself, you can make it successful by producing a real glass of real milk and some cookies to go with it! The X-Treme version has the cow popping right out of the photograph, along with a little red barn and a bale of hay. Easy Project. ***

Tear-Apart and Take Apart Dove Vanishes

Four different versions Dove Vanish Boxes; two versions of the Tear-Apart Dove Vanish, one of which can be handed to (or hung on) a spectator as each piece is torn open, and two Take Apart vanishes which can both be handed to a spectator to hold as the pieces are removed.


To be announced

I moved the "Run, Whatever, Run!" article from this spot to The Wizards' Journal #13... HERE! The project proved to be too complicated to make completely from hardboard and duct tape, so with Jim's consent, it was moved and he will decide on a replacement effect for this spot. - Spellbinder

Upchurch's Double Vanishing Glasses

Your assistant brings forward a tray made of 1/8 inch thick hardboard with simple decorative edging. On the tray are two (or more) glass tumblers (made of real glass, or plastic). You can pick up the tumblers and show the tray on both sides if you wish. Then, each tumbler is picked up and filled with any liquid you wish. You take a sheet of newspaper and cover the glasses for a moment, then lift the glasses up beneath the newspaper and walk forward towards the audience. Suddenly you crush the newspaper and show that the glasses and liquid have vanished. If you wish, you can produce something else from the newspaper, like doves, or bouquets of Spellbinder's realistic spring flowers. Easy Project ***

Through a Key Hole Penetration - It starts off as a rope through body penetration, and then the impossible happens and you get pulled through a keyhole along with the rope. Easy Project.***
