Unique Magic-Gram Highlights
Tricks

Super Nail

I like this a lot . A hard steel (straight) nail and rubber tube are shown. The nail is placed in the tube and slowly begins to bend. The nail and tube are straightened out and handed over for inspection. No switches! No sleight of hand! Almost no practice required. The gimmick is undetectable! Another superior trick that fools magicians! Suggested retail is $32.00, I have it for $30.00.

Double color changing brass hot rod

Display a rod with six different colored dots on both sides. The spectator names a number between 1 and 6. Count to that color (blue). Give a quick shake and all the dots turn blue. Want to try again? Shake the dots back to their multicolored beginning. Choose another number, counting once again. Another shake and all the dots change red! May be handed out for examination. Solid brass, pocket size. Great for walk around. Suggested retail is $36.00, I have it for $30.00.

Pocket Matchbox Trick

The Most Amazing Trick Ever!!! Remove from your pocket a small box of matches and a toothpick. Push the toothpick straight thru the center of the box, freely showing it at all times. Not impressed? Remove the toothpick and open the box. What you see is a solid brass block that entirely fills the box! Solid brass and examinable. Self-working. Suggested retail is $45.00, I have it for $37.50.

BITE THE BLLET

Another great trick from the creative minds at Unique Magic. A bullet is passed around, then the bullet, and casing are signed. Bullet is pointed toward magician’s mouth; a lighter is lit behind the bullet. There is a loud bang, the empty casing is dropped, and seen in the magician’s teeth is a bullet. Bullet spit out and examined, it is the signed bullet. Sorry Kids, ADULTS ONLY $25.00

Inferno

WOW this is the greatest way to produce a flame from your fingers, or any object held in your hand. After, you can show your hands completely empty. Any book is a fire book, any wallet is now a fire wallet, and deck of cards is now a flaming deck, and the list goes on. I think this is the greatest innovation in fire magic in years. SORRY KIDS, ADULTS $60.00
There is also Inferno the movie, - a video instruction guide for the Inferno with extra accessories. $30.00

APPEARING CAGE

You have seen magician’s use these, but wasn’t sure where to get them, I can get them for you. Magician shows a stack of silks, or other cloths, reaches into them, and produces a huge birdcage with a LIVE bird in it. Great action on this economical version. Only $210.00.

WOOD MULTIPLYING COIN TRAY

Magician shows some coins on the tray, and dumps them into the spectators’ hand. Spectator is to count the coins back onto the tray. Coins are again dumped into spectators’ hand, and counted back onto tray. This time there are more coins. Half-dollar size is $35.00; Eisenhower dollar size is $40.00

WOOD MAGIC COIN STAND

Magician shows some coins on the ledge of the stand. One by one the coins are removed from the stand and caused to vanish. Half-dollar size is $40.00; Eisenhower dollar size is $45.00

SHANG-HI DOVE PRODUCTION

Magician shows a box on stands, and opens the front frame door to show it is empty. The door is covered with paper, and shut. Magician then proceeds to draw on the paper (doves, silks, balls, etc.) and upon busting through the paper, those items are produced. $600.00

WOOD DRAWER BOX

Magician shows box to be empty then re-opens it to show it is full. $80.00

Hello from Joseph

WHERE HAVE ALL THE MAGIC SHOPS GONE

This is the last retail newsletter from Unique Magic retail. I wish to thank all of you for the splendid years you have given me, and the continued patronage from some of you. I h ave been with this shop for over 16 years now, have made some friends, and made some enemies. I have always tried to be the most honest I can be, and refused to bring products into my shop to just make a buck that I felt either wasn\rquote t worth the price, or was a rip off from someone else! From a businessman\rquote s point of view though, I wasn\rquote t about to tie MY money up on junk. When I went through my divorce years ago, I lost almost everything, to include the shop. I have always tried to be a very giving person, and have shared so many things with so many people. I took time out to always give suggestions when asked, and teach when needed. This I felt was part of the customer service I was able to offer I have now reached a crossroad of life, I have a chance of b e ttering myself in this goofy world, and have decided to try it. I will still continue to distribute magic, but not have a retail store. I will continue to offer products, items I produce, and custom orders for people from the web and visitation sale, but for now, I will not have a regular retail store. Again thank you to all those that stuck by me through the years. Visit http://members.aol.com/umagi you can also e-mail me atunique87@aol.com You can also sent a 2 stamp self addressed stamped envelope for the paper version of the catalog to Unique Magic c/o Joseph Vacha 1345 S. Maple Ave. Berwyn, IL. 60402 Watch for a drastic change on my web site soon after I close the retail shop. Everyone will be pleased. I will also be setting up a booth at the flea market on Manheim North of North Ave. sometime in July.
