Hindu Gypsy Thread Revealed

Presco Uzbekis — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:25:27 +0100

Effect: Performer takes a spool of thread, unravels about a foot of it, & then breaks it off, putting the spool down.

When this is unravelled it is seen to be completely restored to it's original length. VERY visual, & very clean, pretty easy to do as well. Here's the Read More...

Once more we bring this old-timer forth but after you read this see if you can beat it for simpleness and effect.

A spectator opens a new pack of cigarettes and after examining them a cigarette is removed, marked and placed in the performer's mouth. A bill is borrowed and the spectator writes down a number and initials the bill before the performer even touches it. The bill is destroyed in a most open manner, the cigarette being lighted just before this event. The cigarette is now Read More...
