Overview

UFO is another release by Apprentice Magic which is geared towards the beginning magician. All the tricks in this series are simple, classic magic tricks that many experienced magicians have long been acquainted with. Once manufactured in brass and exotic woods, these classics are more seen nowadays in the plastic versions like the one offered here. Despite the materials the trick is made of, the effect is the same. The effect relies more on the presentation than the object, and that’s where the magic lies.

Effect

The performer begins a discussion about how UFO sightings have been more frequent. He heard the come from outer space to either leave with people or rare minerals and he would like to demonstrate how that works. He borrows a coin from a spectator and has it signed. He then demonstrates how a UFO would beam it up and it would disappear. Viola, their signed coin disappeared as well. He then retrieves a UFO out of his pocket held together with rubber bands. Inside of that is an even smaller UFO also held together with rubber bands. But wait, there is more. Inside the smallest UFO is a pouch tied with a rubber band and when that pouch is opened, the signed coin is inside.

Method

This is a cute version of Nest of Wallets. Naturally the prop does all the work for you, which leaves you nothing but to focus on the delivery. Unless you know the secret behind the method, it is extremely hard to re-engineer. There is a little sleight of hand to learn which is the French Drop. Unlike other Apprentice Magic items there are angle issues with this one. One would have to make sure that either everyone who sees you is in front or you have to wear a shirt or sweat shirt outside of your pants and covering your pocket.

Product Quality

Apprentice Magic items deliver a great value for the dollar. The props provided are of decent quality (for the price) and would withstand the onslaught of abuse it will probably receive by young, perhaps clumsy magicians. UFO is a powerhouse of magic for less than $10. The instructions are phenomenal featuring Javier Fuenmayor, Murphy’s Magic new spokesperson. Javier brings this trick to a new level. Ever excited and well spoken, Javier teaches you the routine and a premise to hang it on. Filmed on a beautiful set in High Definition, Javier brings what is needed most in magic; enthusiasm.

Overview

This may be the best release in the Murphy's Magic Apprentice line of tricks for budding magicians. This trick, with a patter I have not heard before, is a kids version of the Nest of Wallets or similar effect.

For $8.95 this is just killer.

I have loved performing a trick like this for years and now Murphy's has brought a version that can be used by pro's and kids alike. (Although pros will have more complex version of this same trick.

You will need to know how to vanish a coin and you are all set to amaze.

Effect

A signed coin disappears and then moments later is produced inside a sealed bag which is inside a sealed plastic UFO, which inside another sealed plastic UFO. See the ad copy below for a more detailed description.

Method

The method is the same method for this classic trick. It is a simple gimmick that makes everything just slide into place perfectly!

Product Quality

For the money this is the best deal around. It is plastic and not metal or leather, but for less than $10 bucks you will be thrilled to be able to perform this trick. The 12 minute instructional video taught by Javier Fuenmayor is great because it includes a performance and an explanation and he does not waste any time. Any attention span will be captivated by the instructional video. Well done!
