	"How to Make Your Own Portable Magic Table" (eBook; PDF Format) Learn how to create a simple, but effective, table for your magic shows. When I lecture for magic guilds, one of the most frequently asked questions is: How do you make your table? I have decided to make the instructions available so that other performers can now create their own portable tables and get rid of those bulky and clumsy roll-on tables. For several years, I have been using these tables to carry all my shows in. Two cases and two stands per show. Each table is set up in under one minute. They break down just as quickly. Open the lid and you have access to your props and are set to perform. If you are ready to take a step towards simplifying your magical performances and cutting down your set-up and break-down times, then this book can show you how to build a unique and simple portable magic table. It has step-by-step instructions and accompanying photos. Only £10.00 each
	"Primary Magic: Making a Living Doing Educational Magic Shows" (eBook; PDF format) If you want to work in schools using your magic skills to teach and educate children, then you need to read this book. I have been performing school shows for over 20 years and I have now documented everything I know about this market within these pages. The notes do mostly apply to the British school market, but many of the ideas and approaches are those I have used when performing around the world from America to Scandinavia. Learn how to create an educational programme, how to turn classic magic effects into educational powerhouses, how to break into the market, what to do before, during and after an assembly, and much more. Learn how to market and set up your business. There are 50 pages packed with information. There is no fluff material and the points are concise, so you will be bombarded with information that you WILL use. These lecture notes will save you loads of time and effort and will help you avoid mistakes that can set your career back months or even years. Included are samples of forms that you can use as guides when creating your own contracts, invoices, etc. Magicians who have bought these notes think I am crazy to offer them for such a low price; they say that I should be charging at least £100. I guess that means they found lots of valuable information! If this is a market you want to break into, I guarantee that you WILL find useful material in this book. Only £30.00 each

	Thumbcuffs This is a pair of regulation police thumbcuffs, which are used in my LTR show. The cuffs come complete with keys, comedy routine and methods for escaping from the cuffs quickly and easily. This prop has been featured in my repertoire for over 15 years because it works. Brilliant comedy, great escape, totally examinable and always ready to go. 8 in stock. £12.50 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
	Clown Silk Although this is not a prop from my school shows, I do use this silk set for my birthday parties and other child-oriented events. Each set comes with two beautiful silks measuring 18 x 18 inches each. Comes with four routines. Last 2 sets in stock. £10.00 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
	Applause Card Another fun gag item which I have used both in my school shows and also private parties. Actually, it is good in most shows to add a bit of comedy. Show a card that reads APPLAUSE PLEASE. Turn it over and it reads LOUDER and turn it over again (?) and it reads THAT'S ENOUGH . Use it as a running gag or as a one-off bit. Will include a tip which makes this prop even more versatile. 2 in stock. £7.00 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
NO PHOTO AVAILABLE	Magic Tester Routine This has been my opening routine for my children's parties for nearly 15 years. Children are asked to join in and show off their magic abilities, and soon a long multicoloured silk appears from nowhere, and then another! It vanishes -- oops, no it doesn't! Try again, and it not only vanishes but reappears in a most unusual place. This routine sets you up as a magician and a comedian; it shows the children that you are very child-friendly and this is going to be a fun show. Everything fits in your pocket and is quick and easy-to-do, and it resets quickly. Comes with 2 streamers, a special gimmick and my complete routine. 5 in stock. £10.00 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
	Vanishing Coke Bottle This is a great prop which I use now in my Christmas show, but I originally used it in my HELP show. You show a coke bottle (you can see the liquid swirling around - actual coke!), and it is covered with a paper tube and vanishes. Comes with complete handling tips -- PLUS I will include my version of the effect, which has had audiences not only in stitches, but really wowed them with a surprise ending. Will include my birthday ideas and a great Christmas idea. This has been in my Christmas show for the past 3 years. Love this prop! 5 in stock. £18.00 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
	Magic Mouse Produce a mouse which scurries up and down your arm and over your chest; it jumps into the air, comes out for a bite to eat, looks and acts real, but it isn't. Learn how to quickly and easily manipulate this furry creature. This little mouse is a brilliant 'meet and greet' item or a way to break the ice with children and scare the adults. Carry one in your pocket at all times. 6 in stock. £4.50 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
	Silk Poke The silk poke is a utility prop used to vanish silks. You can easily place 4 diamond cut silks into this gimmick and they instanly vanish. Can be done bare-handed, or inside a tube or newspaper. A prop not often seen, because it is so cleverly deceptive. Use with a normal pencil or small wand (which is not included). 2 in stock. £7.00 (includes FREE postage to all of Europe)
