Hi Guys,
I need a good routine for stage for a ring to somewhere..! The props have to be visible and something original! So, no ring in the wallet or small things. Some that come in my mind are gumball machine,and also another one that was advertise from malloy but I don't remember the name..was good..but sadly not anymore available! Also there is the new strong box on stevensmagic but with the new wodden box made from Rich Bloch. Any suggestion about that? Thanks! :)

Is ring on shoelace original enough?
Have seen it performed and its great effect. -F |

How about ring in the racketball. This is a full 8 minute routine that is well thought out.

The ring to the ball of wool, as described in my "Ring into Nest of Boxes" from The Wizards' Journal #11 (on my site) plays well from the stage. The ball of wool is found in the smallest box (I use cardboard boxes from the Dollar Store all tied up like gifts). This effect may seem as old as the hills, but allowing the spectator to hold the boxes before the ring is even vanished, allowing the spectator to open all the boxes, and allowing the spectator to handle the ball of yarn before isolating it in a clear glass goblet is not your usual presentation and when the ball of wool is unwound, spinning about in the goblet, and the ring drops out with a nice ringing noise, you have a nice applause moment built right in.

Spellbinder,
Do you wind the ball of woll up for each show? Sounds like a lot of work. Luca, Look at the presentation for the ring in the racketball. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvR2uh__rgE Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZd_D0THqAs&feature=related Good luck, BYuDAD |

In the Steinmeyer collection of magic from the magazines is the routine that Doug Henning did on the Carson show with 3 rings from the audience, vanishing them, and then finding them in a loaf of bread tied to a length of ribbon.
VERY visual, plays VERY big, and is simple in method, one assistant required though. B

There are no more Ring in Racquetballs available anywhere. Sorry! Maybe one day we'll produce them again with Malloy Modern Magic, but not in the near future. I've only seen one for sale ever, and that was on the Magic Auction site. It sold in less than a week.

Think of poor old foolish Buatier DeKolta folding thousands upon thousands of spring flowers before each show. And silly Ade Duval, ironing and folding thousands of silk handkerchiefs and for what? One performance only! We have it much better today with our neatly packaged store-bought tricks that reset in an instant and require no effort. E-Z! E-Z! E-Z! (join in the chant, everyone!)

Just a quick question:
Someone perform the Viking Nest of Boxes? http://www.vikingmagic.com/?nd=large&key=283 Or the Strong Box with the new improvement from Rich Bloch (impossible dream)? http://www.stevensmagic.com/index.php?ma......d=111545 Any review about these? Many thanks

For me Strong box mechanism is more fascinating than the effect! Is great and been something fabricated by Joe Porper, you cant go wrong.
About visibility I will go with the Nest of Boxes by Viking.

Don't want to toot my own horn, but my "No Assistant Nest of Boxes" would fill the bill. I've sold nearly 300 sets over the past 15 years, and it has been used by many pros, including David Williamson, Paul Gertner, Jeff Hobson, Luis DeMatos and many more around the world.
More information at: http://www.charvetmagic.com Or PM me with questions. Thanks - David |

All I was saying is that when you already have a lot of set up time for your show the last thing you want is another time consumming prep trick. I feel bad for the old timers that had to iron silks or fold flowers but it is called progression. I mean would you rather drive a model T or a fully loaded car. Don't get angry but pre show set up you don't get paid for so why not make it easier on yourself. Unless you like taking forever for a trick that doesn't sound all too impressive like the one you mentioned. That is all I am saying. E-z! E-z! E-z! We are in the time of great advancement in all things you should partake. LOL! BYUDAD Quote:

Heres an idea for you see if you can get your hands on one of these, its a smaller version of the Robert-Houdins orange tree, if your not formilar which I'm sure you are but just incase heres a reenactment of the trick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzNpEMsBUU8&feature=related Just a suggestion!
Grew up near one of the greatest minds in magic the late Stewart James, in a town called Wallaceburg just 15 mins from Courtright where James could be found, time and time again he would inspire me to always be creative and just love all magic.

The saddest part of using pre-made magic is the distance it puts between an artist and his work. Professional artistic painters don't use "pre-made paint-by-number kits" which "they" also make and sell, yet magicians don't seem to mind this "cookie-cutter" approach to their magic art. One can buy pre-made paper hat tears by the dozen, but they look nothing like the paper hats you can make yourself using the techniques shown by young Eleazar in his book "Tear-Able Magic." One can buy an Ali Bongo Growing Hat and end up with an Englishman's idea of a giant's head, used by every one who buys the trick... or one can make his own Growing Hat (as shown and described in "A Hat for All Seasons" in The Wizards' Journal #8) with a double ending- first as an Elf that then unfolds to a Santa Claus, or just about any face or image you care to use, including a giant version of your own face if you wish. But it's true. The price one pays for all this extra care and construction is time. If your time is more valuable to you than your reputation as a creative and original magician, you won't consider it. But if you don't want to be lumped into a group of interchangable party magicians (just pick any one... they are all alike) then you might want to think about what I am saying. My comments about the old-time magicians and the time and effort they put into their art wasn't just sarcasm.

Spellbinder,
Thanks for the clarification. You are an purist and I respect that but I view my time as way to valuable than to recreate the wheel. I perform for $600.00 for a ballroom 1 hour act. I pay my assistant ($150), my technical guy ($100). My take is now only $350. My show is reset prior to being packed up after the show ready to go for the next one. Depending on the location it could be 30 minutes to and from the show. Now I am only making $175 an hour. If I were to prep every trick (saying I would use not premade tricks) it would take another 2 hours most likely. I mean I don't even know how to iron so how long would that take to iron a 100 silks. So with the show, travel, and prep, my take is $87.50 an hour. That is a $87.50 swing for 2 hours of my time to gain some type of purist reputation. Forget about it then. I would rather make money and not deal with the stress of folding and prepping my show. I can reach into my premade bulk snowstorm box and I am ready to go for the next show. not even a minute. The crowd still appreciates the show so why break my back to get the reputation of being an artist. I want to perform not prep. I have enough time dedicated to practice, rehearsal, and coming up with new lines and concepts. Let other people pre make my supplies. I would rather pay a little (and I mean just a little) more to have someone do the grunt work. However, I admire your respect for the art and good luck to you. For me I would rather perform and make money. Reputations in this community are subjective at best and I could really care less what a magician thinks of my reputation. I do a great show, entertain people, buy legitimate props, give honest prices to clients and never reveal any tricks so I can le=ive with my rep and sleep well at night knowing I am giving someone a job making the nicely packed premade supplies I use in my shows. Just my opinion. BYUDAD |

The Viking-Himber nest of boxes is amazing. Although the investment is high ($500+), this set is incredibly well made. George Robinson's well-known attention to detail is extremely evident in this heirloom piece of magic. This is what fathers pass down to their sons and grandsons (or grandaughters). And one of the kickers is that it can be performed incredibly close-up without an assistant. Very few nests of boxes can make that claim and NONE are as superbly made as the Viking-Himber set.
