Cig Cutter (Brass)......$8.00
The magician displays a brass tube with a screw-on cap. This tube is just large
enough to accept a full length standard-size cigarette. On the tube's center is a
collar with a slot running through it. If a cigarette is placed into the tube, and the
cap screwed on, then a blade run through the slot, the cigarette will be cut into two
halves. This may first be demonstrated by allowing a spectator to cut the
cigarette.
Now the performer borrows another cigarette (which may be marked for future
identification) and says he will demonstrate how magicians cut and restore a
lady. This cigarette is now placed into the tube and once again the cap screwed
on. The blade is once again run through the slot cutting the cigarette in two
pieces. The cap is unscrewed and the cigarette tipped out. However, it is seen
to be completely unharmed!
It is easy to do and features a new type locking and unlocking design that allows
the performer a much cleaner presentation then was possible with earlier
versions of this effect.
If performing with cigarettes turns you off (or might be frowned upon where you
perform) there is no reason why you could not use a small length of rope or a
straw, or anything else that could be fit into the tube in place of the cigarette. As
long as the item can feasibly be cut with the blade you will be using you will
receive the same effect of cutting and restoring as that of the cigarette.
