Chris Philpott – The End Of My Rope Trick

“It’s a great effect and method and I’ve never seen anything like it before!”
– Daryl

“I can’t believe you fooled me so hard that I’m putting down my cards to learn a rope trick!”
– Jon Armstrong

“Wow! Amazing! I’ve been working on the multiple cut rope plot for several years and that first performance with the rope tied around the wrists both completely fooled AND excited me!”
– Bill Abbott

“The cutting is really convincing, which is essential for a strong effect, and the restoration is as visual and impressive as Anderson’s flash restoration in his newspaper tear.”
– Tom Stone

“Congratulations to my good friend Chris Philpott on releasing what has to be one of the greatest rope tricks of all time!”

– Steve Valentine
 
“A great trick!  A great trick!” 
– Penn (Fool Us)

From the creator of The 100th Monkey comes a new, versatile and incredibly visual method for rope magic! The magician coils a rope, and has a spectator cut through all the strands – the magician then throws the many pieces and they join in the air! The rope is never covered or switched and it can be examined before and after the effect!

The End-of-my-Rope Trick is a stunning stand-alone trick, but it’s also the perfect climax for a variety of other rope routines. Chris (an award-winning screenwriter) has found a way to raise the stakes on classic rope routines while staying true to the original premise. This is a game-changer!

Can be used with a myriad of materials – from chain links to mouth coils – and with a variety of effects. It makes a perfect finish for a ring-on-string routine: you can thread a string through a ring four times then pull it right off! There are variations that require gimmicks and others that are entirely impromptu.

The End-of-my-Rope trick is not self-working, but it’s not difficult. It’s in the easy to medium range, depending on the variation you choose. A person with no sleight-of-hand chops can do some variations with just a few hours of practice.

And while many routines are included on this DVD, there is also incredible potential for new effects with this method.“What fun! That toss up and instant restore is a genuine magic moment. How the heck?…”
– Phil Van Tee (El Ropo)

“Chris Philpott has come up with a dynamic escalation and finale for a cut and restored rope routine.”
– David Regal

“Looks friggin’ fantastic! It all looks VERY natural and very clean, which in my book, is exactly what I strive for in my shows. LOVE the way your mind works!”
– Chipper Lowell

“Chris doesn’t release a lot of magic. But when he does release a trick, it’s damn good. People might be able to conceive of a way a single cut could be mended…but six cuts at once? That’s just impossible!”
– Rick Lax

“A very puzzling trick. Fooled me. Brilliant thinking.”
– Doc Eason

Impression by Jason Yu & SansMinds

Photo is a mere reflection of reality.

Imagine your spectator signs a blank card.

With your spectator’s phone, a photo of spectator holding their own signed blank card is taken.

The spectator mentally reflects on a playing card.

Their own signed blank card turns into a SIGNED thought of card in their OWN phone. This is crazy!

  • Borrow ANY PHONE
  • No special App
  • Prop included

The Ultimate Impromptu Torn & Restored Card

James Marx has created the most practical and astonishing Torn and Restored Card we’ve ever seen.

Best of all – this is the easiest method for an impromptu visual restoration you’ll ever find!

Imagine you ask a friend to select any card from any deck. SERIOUSLY. With no funny business, you ask them to sign the card.  Now your spectator cleanly rips the corner off the card!

Now’s where the action really starts! You take the torn piece and cleanly place it in your mouth. Then, with no possible explanation, you place the now corner-less card to your your lips…

…and your spectators watch, jaws open, as the signed card is restored!

Chuck Leach – The Raven

Imagine the power of this awesome effect: You show a coin and place it on your spectator’s hand. With complete confidence you wave your hand (fingers open) over the coin…

The coin vanishes right before the spectator’s eyes in one of the most visual moments in all of magic. The best part is, your hands can be shown completely clean!

No sleights, no odd moves. This is truly one of the best investments in all of street magic.

It works with many different objects, not just coins. And in addition to vanishes, you can make one object turn into another object, or shrink a coin into a miniature-sized coin. Many additional effects are possible with bills, matchbooks, and playing cards.

Why we Love it

  • It looks like real magic.
  • It’s a professional effect that’s easy to perform
  • We love blowing away other magicians when we perform the Raven in short sleeves!
  • It’s a great investment because many other effects become possible when you own the Raven.

 

This is The Original Raven by Chuck Leach.

FAQ

Q: How long will it take me to learn to perform vanishes with the Raven?
A: It’ll take you about an hour of practice before you’re performing vanishes like a pro.

Q: Can I really perform it in short sleeves?

Daniel Garcia – Torn (TnR)

In the basement of a seedy Las Vegas hotel, Daniel Garcia slowly touched two pieces of torn playing card together. Achingly slowly, with no cover. And then he let go of one piece, and—it was restored!

Paul Harris shook his head and softly muttered, “If this kid’s not using some kind of sticky stuff, he owns me.” Daniel restored the third and fourth pieces in equally miraculous, just-touch-it-and-oh-my-god-it’s-restored ways, and handed Paul the card.

NO STICKY STUFF.

In lieu of Paul’s mortal soul, Daniel agreed to let Paul get Torn out to the world. It really is the next great leap forward in the piece-by-piece restoration; it’s totally practical and even more magical than the original TV-only version.

With this DVD and a little work you’ll have a breathtaking magical effect you can do anywhere with any freely selected signed card.

Torn didn’t just astonish Paul Harris — Daniel has owned just about every magician and for sure every laymen he’s shown his creation to. Daniel Garcia’s “Torn” is a must for anyone who wants to perform a truly miraculous piece-by-piece restoration.

Zipped By Steven Himmel

Steven Himmel is one of our favorite new creators on the scene, and he recently worked with creative director Kyle Marlett on a pretty set of routines in which a card changes…isolated behind plastic. This is cool stuff, particularly if you’re in search of fast, visual moments. It’s intriguing to isolate a card in a plastic bag, and then STILL cause it to change. A variety of handlings and variations are taught, and it’s easy to construct the gimmick once, and then you’re always ready to perform “Zipped.”

The Zipped download teaches you everything you need to know to perform and construct your Zipped gimmick!

Promotion By Kyle Purnell and Mystique Factory

Remove a normal five dollar bill from your wallet, or even borrow one from a spectator. Have it signed. VISUALLY CHANGE IT INTO A TWENTY DOLLAR BILL! A moment later, hand the just changed twenty out to be examined…THEIR SIGNATURE STILL ACROSS THE BILL!

Promotion is all about heightening the impossibility of the bill change. When you do magic with a perfectly unique (signed) and even borrowed object, it will stick with your audiences for a long time. SIGNATURE STILL ACROSS THE BILL!

Keep in mind:

  • The bill can be borrowed and signed! (American Currency or any bill that have similar colors)
  • The gimmick does most of the work for you!
  • Reuse the same bill after multiple performances!
  • Immediately examinable!
  • Takes up minimal pocket space

The DVD includes detailed instructions on making the gimmick and how to use it in performance, as well as materials to construct your own gimmick in minutes.

Routines you can find on the DVD:

  • Promotion- which is Kyle’s signature effect where a signed Five Dollar Bill changes to a Twenty Dollar Bill while the signature stays on the Twenty Dollar Bill!
  • An ultimate transposition type of effect -the spectator visually see the card change without any cover.
  • Bill to card change/Card to bill change.
  • Change a bill to your business card.
  • A Bill Switch with any type of currency.

Keypoints to remember:

  • The bill is borrowed in both versions.
  • Everything can be examined before and after.
  • In every version you start and end clean.
  • Easy to do.
  • Reset in seconds.
  • Use the same gimmick over and over again.
  • Endless possibilities.
  • You can use any size bills.

Rain Maker by Karl Hein

Update July 16, 2018: Checkout demo #2 to see Karl performing live for Pete Holmes and find out how BIG this effect can get!

Here’s what happens:

1. Show a few one-dollar bills.
2. Instantly turn them into A HEAPING PILE OF CASH.

Think about it.. if you REALLY had magic powers, this is the EXACT trick you’d be doing. Over, and over, and over again.

The reactions you’re going to get with “Rainmaker” will SURPRISE YOU. Going from “a little” to “a lot” of ANYTHING is an awesome trick — but when it’s money.. it’s pure FIREWORKS.

PROFESSIONALS: This is a BIG trick. Eye-popping big. And it’s a worker too! But perhaps the best part, is that you’re showing people what they secretly hope being a magician is all about. You’re showing them exactly what they would do if they had your powers.

PS: My favorite way to perform Rainmaker is to give out a couple bills when I’m done. A dollar here and there is a small price to pay to convince crowds that you genuinely did produce money from thin air. Instead of “needing them back”. If I can produce more, why do I care?
