The Idea Bag by Barry Mitchell – Six Box Production – NEW OLD STOCK

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

What happens when you put a great idea into an empty bag?

The Idea Bag by Barry Mitchell is a colorful, visual production effect designed especially for children’s entertainers, school shows, library programs, family performers, and church magicians.

The magician displays an apparently empty paper bag and talks about how ideas can seemingly come from nowhere. Suddenly, a gift box is produced from the empty bag! But that’s only the beginning.

One by one, the magician continues reaching into the bag and producing six gift boxes from what moments before appeared completely empty. It’s a surprising production that builds as more and more boxes impossibly appear.

Barry Mitchell designed the effect to be much more than simply producing boxes. The routine lends itself to presentations about ideas, creativity, imagination, gifts and inspiration. It can also be adapted for school and library programs or given a Biblical/message-based presentation for church performances.

You can even incorporate silks or other small production items along with the boxes to customize the routine for your own show.

Includes:

* The special Idea Bag

* Six appearing gift boxes

* Presentation/routine ideas

* Original packaging/instructions as supplied

The original advertising compared the effect to the classic Dream Bag concept while giving it Barry Mitchell’s creative presentation style.

Monkey Monte by Tim Sonefelt

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

Add a colorful, audience-driven routine to your family show with Monkey Monte by Tim Sonefelt of Wonder Imagery.

Built around the familiar “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” monkeys, this is a complete three-volunteer performance piece with plenty of comedy and interaction. It’s a great fit for children’s shows, family entertainment, school programs, church performances, and other shows where you want to get audience members directly involved.

Three spectators join the magician and receive colorful monkey-themed props. The monkeys are placed into bags and mixed among the participants while the magician’s back is turned. There seems to be no possible way for the performer to know who ended up with which monkey — yet in the end, the monkeys are correctly matched!

Tim Sonefelt designed Monkey Monte as much more than a quick magic trick. The complete package gives the performer the tools to turn the premise into a full routine featuring music, comedy, audience participation, and a game-show atmosphere.

The set includes the original Monkey Monte props, colorful monkeys with matching monkey hats, gimmicked bags, banana-shaped prize bags, the original soundtrack with custom music and game-show-style voiceovers, complete instructions, presentation and routine ideas, and Gospel presentation material. All original components are included with this set.

The routine can be presented purely as fun family entertainment or adapted for Gospel and motivational programs, including a message involving the things we see, hear, and say.

This particular set comes from a magician’s private collection and was never used. It is complete with all of its original components, making it a nice opportunity for working children’s and family entertainers looking for an older Tim Sonefelt/Wonder Imagery routine.

Tommy James Measel Teasel Wand

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

Get ready to have your audience seeing spots!

The Measel Teasel Wand is a classic comedy magic prop created by acclaimed family entertainer Tommy James. The magician brings out a black magic wand covered in white spots—it appears the wand has caught the measles!

After blowing through the wand, the spots visibly disappear. Unfortunately, the moment the magician looks away, the children notice that the spots have returned. The magician repeatedly removes them, only for them to reappear slowly or all at once.

This creates an uproarious “look-don’t-see” routine as the children shout and attempt to tell the magician what is happening. Finally, the entire audience blows toward the wand and makes the spots disappear.

The Measel Teasel Wand can be performed as a complete comedy routine or used as a running gag throughout a children’s magic show. It is visual, easy for an audience to understand and designed to generate plenty of participation.

Features:

• Original Tommy James comedy magic creation
• Spots visibly appear and disappear
• Excellent “look-don’t-see” interaction
• Encourages loud audience participation
• Works as a standalone routine or running gag
• Approximately 15 inches long and ¾ inch in diameter
• Ideal for children’s shows, libraries, schools and family events

A highly entertaining and increasingly difficult-to-find comedy wand from one of children’s magic’s best-known creators.
