Vest Pocket Square Circle

This Baby Brings the Stage to the Palm of Your Hand!

Have you been intrigued by stage illusion and either didn't have the room to store or transport the props? Have a cash flow issue and not yet ready to afford a major illusion? If you answered yes to either of these questions, the Vest Pocket Square Circle may be your answer.

The Vest Pocket Square Circle is one the cleanest and simplest productions ever invented. It is self contained, requires no body loads, is easily presented by a single performer and can even be used when fully surrounded. The Square Circle can be used to produce silk handkerchiefs, beads, ribbon, and much more.

The outer square tube and inner round tube are each picked up, one at a time, shown empty and placed on the palm of your open hand. The empty inner round tube is placed inside the empty square outer tube. Yet, items may be produced from the Square Circle. The audience can see inside the square tube at all times through holes in the front panel.

When you begin presenting this popular effect in your show, you will be amazed at how many other uses you will create. The Vest Pocket Square Circle is decorated in red with yellow trim and stands 2 5/8 inches high x 1 7/8 inches wide. The inner tube is finished in a bright polished silver color. It is a perfect mini-illusion for magicians and clowns to use for small groups during intimate close-up entertaining.
