Wild’s creative markings are easy to read and user-friendly. The marks are hidden in plain sight – you just have to know where to look because they are invisible to the uninitiated.

Best professional rope escape ever! No thumbs required! The ingenious handling of the rope is he secret. Offered online for $28.50 to $47.76.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL…. You also get Tony’s exciting routine “Knife Thru Coat”. The audience will be blown away when you stab a large knife right through a coat that belongs to one of the volunteers who tied you up. Not to worry – the coat is not damaged in any way.

I love Tony and I love this routine – done by another magician. It’s just not my style, but I know you’ll love it. Scott

Max Maven’s POCKET NIGHTMARE - $20.00

New in the box. Offered online for $39.95

The performer informs the audience that he will perform an effect with only one hand to make sure that everyone knows that sleight of hand is impossible. The performer places one hand in his pocket. The spectator peeks at a card in the deck. The magician then is able to divine the card that the spectator is only thinking of. The deck is then given to the spectator who is invited to search the deck for the card only to discover that it has completely vanished. The magician reminds the audience he said he would do the trick with only one hand, but he didn’t specify which hand – he then removes his other hand -- holding the vanished card.

Taught in detail by Max Maven, including a complete history of the effect, Pocket Nightmare is ready to go right out of the box. This effect is devastating to an audience, especially because the gimmicks do all the work for you while hiding in plain sight. This is powerful magic from a legendary creator. Pocket Nightmare is nothing less than a thing of terrifying beauty.
