The 'Looped' Billiard ball in action, behind Faust's right hand. 48mm diameter wooden ball.   Price:  £10.00 plus £3.00 postage.

The magician shows both his hands, back and front, fingers spread wide, to be unmistakably empty, yet a solid billiard ball is instantly produced from his hands.  The ball may be vanished and reproduced in a series of perfectly natural hand movements, completely baffling and bewildering your audience.  This is the perfect production and disappearance of a billiard ball, with ease of working and having the appearance of great skill.  The hands are well away from the body throughout the manipulations.  It was featured as the opening sequence in a television spectacular some years ago.  Complete with detailed instructions, with a sequence of photographs, for the full routine.

Multiplying Billiard Balls.  Three red, wooden, billiard balls, 48mm diameter (1-7/8"), and fibreglass shell.  Same size as the 'Miracle' Billiard Ball.  As used by FAUST.  Taylor-Made.  Also available in same size:  Three white billiard balls with white fibreglass shell.  PRICE: £40.00 plus £3.00 postage and packing (U.K.).

Another rare 'John Martin' classic, re-created by Granville Taylor.  It was De Biere or Lyle, probably Lyle, who had the brilliant idea of making a "bill-tube" in the form of a fountain pen, thereby changing a phoney-looking magicians' 'prop' into an everyday common object.  'Martin' made two pens, and delivered oine to De Biere on July 20th. 1934.  Lyle received the other pen.

A five pound note, or a dollar bill, is borrowed from a member of the audience who records its number.  The note is rolled up, covered with a handkerchief, and held by a spectator.  It vanished, but fails to re-appear in the spectator's pocket.  The magician offers to write an I.O.U. but his fountain pen runs out of ink.  When the pen is unscrewed, the ink cartridge is missing, and in its place is the missing note.

A very limited number of these matt black chrome pen sets for sale.  Each set is numbered and consists of a 'Parker' type fountain pen, 'push' rod for setting, a 24" square pure Chinese silk, a special holder for the pen inside your jacket, and one other item, plus detailed instructions.  Only four sets remain.  PRICE:  £75.00 plus £4.00 postage and packing.

Magic dealer Harry Stanley's favourite card tricks were accomplished with a Sand Wand.  This miniature wand delivers a few grains of silver sand when required, unknown to your audience, in close-up work at the card table.  Perfect for controlling the location of a chosen card, so its uses are endless.  A deck of cards can be shuffled and a card selected.  Performer does not need to touch the cards at all.  The deck is cut into two piles, the selected card placed on top where the performer taps the wand on one pile or the other, as chosen, and the balance placed on top.  All moves as instructed to the spectator by the performer, who then picks up the deck and proceeds to identify the chosen card by simply cutting the deck and naming it immediately.  Or, the performer throws the deck back on to the table, and the chosen card is left at his fingertips.  The wand measures 6" long, 1/4" diameter, and is made from "Dural".  Traditional style, black, with white ends.  Small emough to be kept in your top pocket for use at any time.  Precision made.  Replace the silver sand with iron filings, both supplied, and the wand is ideal for use with Robert Harbin's "Dippy Magnet" card trick.  PRICE:  £22.00 post free.
