Is there any more popular holiday story than Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, except maybe for Hanukkah Harry and the Magical Potato Latkes? Everyone loves the story of Rudolph. It has it all. Santa, Reindeer, even Elves. Around here, any story with Elves is a guaranteed winner.
Anyway, as the story goes, it was time for Santa to load up the sleigh, hitch the reindeer and head off to deliver the presents. But, the elves messed up. They put the reindeer in the barn rather than hitched to the sleigh.
Show a beautiful, multi color 18” silk with a picture of Santa with a befuddled look on his face. His sleigh is there, but no reindeer!
Drop the silk into your favorite magic bag, which of course you have previously shown empty, and ask the kids to help. They all shout the magic words, and when you bring out the silk, there’s Santa, the sleigh and one reindeer hitched up. Which would be great, as his load was pretty light, and he only needed one reindeer. But, the weather was foggy and this one reindeer couldn’t do the job. Santa needed Rudolph. Because of that bright red nose that would act as a beacon in the night.
So, back the silk goes in the bag. Get the kids to sing Rudoph The Red Nosed Reindeer, in four part harmony, and Shazzam, when you take the silk from the bag, there’s Santa, the sleigh, and Rudolph with his bright red nose!
A happy ending to the story and a delightful magical effect for your holiday shows.
Comes with three beautifully printed 18” silks and full instructions. Supply your own Change Bag. $35.00 (60.1486)
 

David Ginn's Happy Santa Blendo is a great new addition to your Christmas shows!
You show with three 12-inch silks. One red. One Green. One White.
In a wink, they blend into a 36-inch full color Santa Claus.
David has produced the most beautiful Santa Claus silk ever in the magic market! Use it in Blendo fashion, or with children change the silks to the Santa using a change bag. Either way, you have a winner for Christmas! $35.00 (60.1479)
 

A traditional Santa Clause hat that also functions as a fully usable change bag!
You can use the hat to vanish or change the color of silks; use it to perform an Elfin cut and restored rope routine; use it for anything you would normally do with a change bag!
You can wear the hat yourself. You can put it on a kid. Really well made, deluxe red felt, trimmed in white faux fur. The gimmick is virtually invisible. A buy at $49.95 (60.1482)
 

A holiday-themed version of the classic "ABC Stung!" trick.
Show three jumbo cards, each with a different colored Christmas gift on it. Also show two envelopes to the spectators. Place all three gifts into one of the envelopes. When you open the envelope, the green gift (my personal favorite) has vanished! I
Open the other envelope. There’s a picture of Santa Claus, wrapping up a green gift! The envelope is otherwise empty.
The smart spectators immediately suspect trickery. The red and yellow gift cards are shown front and back. And when the Santa card is turned around, it shows a picture of a wreath and says "Merry Christmas!" The green gift has vanished completely.
Made from high quality, laminated cards, you receive everything you need to perform this trick immediately. An easy-to-do, interactive trick great for your holiday shows. Made in the USA. $35.00 (60.1299)
 

The very latest from Samuel Patrick Smith, Presents Of Mind is a wonderful and amazing routine, perfect for holiday shows!
Display a set of jumbo cards, each with a different holiday picture (candy cane, Santa, snowman, candle, gifts, ornament, angel, etc.).
Two spectators think of any picture.
You roughly sketch the pictures you think they have mentally selected. Place your sketches on a stand, and when you reveal your drawings, you have correctly guessed the pictures they chose! Absolutely no artistic skill is required! (Uses the same great principle as Samuel Patrick Smith's Deja Zoo effect.)
Wonderful artwork by Selina Frederick includes a card with a manger scene for use in church or other appropriate programs. Complete set includes cards, card stand, and marker. $35.00 (50.907)
 

Your holiday utility production box! With Santa's Chimney you can show the chimney empty, place it in the base and magically produce all sorts of items! Produce or transform silks, flowers, small live animals and more-anything that can fit! $100.00 (60.1156)

Just in time for the holiday season, it's the Magic Christmas Picture.
Show a black and white drawing of a rooftop with reindeer and sleigh ready to land. Only the sleigh is empty! No color, no Santa, no presents. Oh, no!
A volunteer picks several crayons and writes his name on the sign in front of the house, colors the reindeer's nose, adds some smoke coming from the chimney.
The child holds the picture while everyone says the magic words.
When the picture is turned around, Santa and a sleigh full of presents - complete with a Christmas tree - appears, all magically colored with crayons! The child keeps the magic drawing as a souvenir of the show!
Based on Silly Billy's Magic Party Picture, the Magic Christmas Picture is perfect for your holiday shows! (50.893)
$20.00

This one is just perfect for your holiday shows. Show a nicely drawn picture of Santa Claus. The only problem is that he is all black and white. Slip the picture into the wooden frame and get the kids to all toss "invisible colors" at the picture. They shout the magic words ... "Happy Holidays." And, as you slowly remove the picture from the frame, it begins to visibly color in! Santa now has a red suit with green and yellow trim. He looks great! Visible Santa fits in the standard Visible Color Painting frame. So, if you already have the frame, you can purchase just the picture for $25.00. (50.140)

Everyone waits for Santa to come down the chimney at Christmas. It just so happens that you brought a chimney with you today! The chimney is 14" tall by 4" wide, decorated in red and black with a big green wreath near the top.

Peppermint Stick Nesting Wands - After performing any of your favorite effects, offer a peppermint magic wand to your assisting spectator. The child takes the wand, but to everyone's surprise, you still have a wand in your hand! Ask the child to put the first wand under his arm and take the second wand. Again you are left with a wand in your hand! Place this wand under your assistant's chin and the effect is repeated, until your helper can barely hold them all! They're under his chin, under his arms and in his hands! A great version of Presto Nesto for your holiday shows! $29.95 (50.908)

Merry Surprise Hat Tear - Classic torn and restored tissue paper to Santa Hat. $12.50 (50.072)

Santa Costume Bag - Small black bag shown inside and out. Changes to a kid size Santa Suit and Hat! $40.00 (50.184)

Magic, The Complete Course
- Joshua Jay
Magic is everywhere, from the big spectacle celebrity of David Copperfield and Siegfried and Roy to the quirky Penn and Teller to the spooky David Blaine and Criss Angel to the endless material on YouTube. Until now, learning it has not been easy. That's all about to change with Magic. The book combines expertise, photographs and step-by-step directions showing how to perform 100 tricks, and a DVD that demonstrates 35 of them.
Each trick is broken down into the Effect, Secret, Set-up, and, most important, Performance, with lessons on what to say, how to direct the audience's attention, where to keep your hands, and so on.
Here are the ten greatest card tricks; tricks to dazzle a dinner date; tricks to perform for the boss (poke a hole through his shirt, then magically mend it); tricks especially for kids; and even tricks for an audience in another state—with "Australian Self-Help," you can find a participant's chosen card over the phone. It's the Aha! book for a subject whose time has come. And, it makes a fabulous holiday gift for the beginner on your list! 288 pages. $19.95 (BK01613)

The Amazing Alexander
- Justin S. Meitz
Alex loves magic. Since he was a little tyke, his grandfather amazed him with card tricks, magic coloring books, floating fireballs, disappearing bottle-caps, and magic crystal balls - and now it’s time for Alex to go to his first magic show. He is excited! Maybe he will even be chosen to come up on stage. When he arrives, however, a pair of mysterious eyes seem to be watching him from back stage and he nervously changes his mind; but fate steps in and takes him on a magical adventure with twists and turns and white tigers and gleaming, razor sharp blades designed to cut the victim in half - not quite what Alex had in mind!
This is no ordinary picture book series. This is an extraordinary adventure that teaches the art and ethics of magic. Each book includes a wonderful magic trick that the reader can do! The new trick Alex learns in each book, the reader will also learn. There are instructions in a secret section of this book, where Alex learns – along with the reader - how to magically transform two one-dollar bills into a million-dollar bill.
Adults as well as youth will love this wonderful book, illustrated with original art, which combines an exciting childhood adventure with the joy of learning and performing truly mystifying magic. 32 pages. Hardbound. $18.00 (BK01612)

The Magic Show
As seen on the cover of Genii Magazine. A beginner's book with 12 interaction tricks included! How can a book read your mind? Or perform sleight-of-hand? Created and hosted by Mark Setteducati and Anne Benkovitz, The Magic Show is unlike any other book of magic in that the book actually performs magic for you. Pick a card, any card, and the book will accurately guess it. Spin the wheel on the front cover and watch the spheres mysteriously change colors. Count the Sorcerers--oops, better count them again. Cut the author in half! The Magic Show is as exhilarating as sitting in the front row at a real performance, but with one big advantage: A convenient reset book allows you to reset each trick, with or without learning the secrets of the illusion. Full color Hard bound. 22 pages $18.50 (BK01306)
