Overview

A mini vase with a top contains a red ball. The ball disappears and reappears as you want it to. Of course we all remember this trick from our holiday present magic trick kits.

Effect

This is a great effect for novices. The vase is shown to contain a red ball and there are so many things you can do with this. You can remove the ball, put it in your pocket and magically the ball reappears in the vase. You can leave the ball in the vase and then show that it has disappeared. You are provided with the patter of a jewel thief stealing the ball, but your imagination is the limit.

Method

The method is in the clever construction of the vase. This trick is easy to learn and easy to perform. But beware, the vase cannot be fully inspected by your spectator. It is possible to let them inspect teh vase after you do some ditching first.

Product Quality

The quality of this plastic gimmick is very good and much better than the similar product that was made for magic kits.

Other than typos, its all good.

Overview

Jewel Thief is another gem by Apprentice Magic. Apprentice
Magic is focused on bringing old classic back to live in a new and exciting way. Many of these classics have been relegated to the junk drawer either because there wasn't an up to date presentation or because they are perceived as "cheap tricks". Whatever the reason Apprentice Magic not only gives a a well made prop for the money but a modern, sensible presentation you won't be embarrassed to performed.

Effect

Sitting on a table is a vase with a red ball (the jewel) shown inside. A story is told of how a skilled jewel thief plans attempts to steal the valuable jewel from inside the vase. As the story unfolds, the jewel disappears and reappears from the vase culminating in the successful appropriation of the jewel by the thief.

Method

Naturally, this is no different from any other inexpensive ball vase in the methodology. The vase has a gimmick which allows you to create the magic. If you can tell a story and lift a lid of the vase you can perform this trick. Like all magic, the presentation carries the weight of the entertainment.

Product Quality

The Ball Vase is made of plastic like many others of this kind. The quality should be as expected of this price range which is fine. The vase sits at 4” in height and includes all you need to perform this trick. The value in this trick is in the video download. Javier Fuermayer the new spokesperson for Murphy’s magic does a phenomenal job in presenting the performance and the explanation. All in total the download runs almost 11 minutes long. Javier is engaging and energetic in every performance I have seen him in. The filming is done in a beautiful studio in HD. What more can you ask for less than $10.

The product is everything they say it is. Apprentice Magic provides an incredible value in what they offer. Not only is it great magic for beginners to cut their teeth on but they are excellent for performing pros to polish up their presentational skills.

Final Thoughts

After familiarizing yourself with this routine, look into Ball Vase by Mike Gallo to take this effect to the next level.
