PLEASE NOTE
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL APPEARING LADDER.
DO NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE CHEAPLY PRODUCED RIP-OFF MODEL THAT COMES IN A HEAVY TOOLBOX.
SUPPORT THE INVENTORS OF ORIGINAL MAGIC BY REFUSING TO BUY RIP-OFF PRODUCTS

At any time in the act you show a standard black vinyl briefcase, open it up and produce an 8 ft Ladder! Pick the ladder up and walk off with it over your shoulder.

It's absolutely unbelievable!

A three dimensional masterpiece
you'll enjoy performing.

The Appearing Ladder comes complete with briefcase. Nothing else is required.
Work it with the audience on three sides. The case is specially designed to hide the secret.
(NB. Ladder can be transfered to another container if you wish)

The Appearing Ladder employs Appearing Pole technology plus some brilliantly simple mechanics to create this amazing sight gag.

The Appearing Ladder comes in a realistic looking "metallic" finish.

MISSING SPADE
OUR ORIGINAL PRODUCT AND STILL A BEST SELLER
Magician holds a rolled up banner. He's so sure a certain playing card will be chosen, he's made up a prediction in the form of a special banner. Spectator chooses a card. The banner unrolls and depicts the THREE OF SPADES . . . BUT IT'S WRONG!
The selected card was the FOUR.
"Not to worry. There's only ONE SPADE MISSING . . . IT'S OVER HERE!"
Magician reaches in behind the banner and produces a FULL-SIZE GARDEN SPADE! WHAT A CLIMAX!

Guaranteed to produce a gasp followed by roars of laughter.

Spade when produced is 40 ins long with a moulded plastic handle and looks like it came straight from the hardware store.

Vinyl banner unrolls to 48 ins by 20 ins. 6 inch high spade "pips" can be easily seen.

"Received the Missing Spade and I LOVE IT! Great quality and a powerful effect. Gets a great reaction every time."
Scot Price, Tennessee

"One of the most commercial pieces of magic I have ever seen."
Hank Lee's Magic factory

"Honestly, it's the best production item to come along in years. I can't praise it too highly... it's GREAT!"
the late Ricki Dunn, Las Vegas

"I have to say without a doubt it is one of the best effects I have had the pleasure of seeing in some time!"
Paul Gross, owner...Hocus Pocus Magic Fresno, CA

"I have used Wayne Roger's Missing Spade as the centre piece of my professional stand up act for the past five years. It is one of those rare effects that is consistently both amazing and amusing. Every time I perform it I am guaranteed laughter and a huge ovation!"

Nicholas J. Johnson, Funny Bones Entertainment

"An absolute winner for both cabaret or kids. Many top professionals are already working this effect"

Finally, the Long Card gag and Appearing Pole are combined
for one creative comedy effect!

Steve Dela started out with the germ of an idea, and through the
combined efforts of George Schindler and Wayne Rogers
an hilarious new effect can now be yours

A card is selected (10 of Hearts) signed, replaced in the pack
and the pack dropped into a paper bag. After a couple of unsuccessful
attempts, the top of a white pole emerges depicting the 3 of Hearts.

"Wrong? You mean it's bigger than a 3?"

The pole is pulled up to a full FIVE FEET and there are now TEN HEARTS!
Finally the spectator retrieves his signed card from the end of the pole!

THREE EFFECTS IN ONE!
A classic gag card trick now in a brand new format
