Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to a conjurer's kit, especially for children.
  • One specific trick is a trick involving disappearing objects, or objects changing from one shape to another shape, as described in US-1760842 .
  • This document discloses a conjurer's box placed in front of a horizontal tube.
  • the box has doors in its rear wall which can be opened such that an assistant is capable of accessing the interior of the box via said tube.
  • Performing the trick requires the presence of an assistant, and requires that the box be equipped with doors in its front opening, because these doors must be closed when the assistant is handling the objects within the box.
  • kit provided by the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a box 100 for use in a conjurer's kit 1 according to the present invention.
  • Figures 2A, 2B, 2C schematically show a front view, a top view in cross section, and a side view in cross section, respectively, of the box 100.
  • the box 100 as shown has a general block shape, with a planar bottom 101, a top wall 102, a rear wall 103, side walls 104, 105, and a front wall 106.
  • said walls are mutually perpendicular to each other, but different angles are within the scope of the present invention.
  • the top wall 102, rear wall 103, and side walls 104, 105 are planar, and are pependicular to each other, but this is not essential in all embodiments.
  • the box 100 is foldable.
  • the box 100 comprises a bottom part 110, a cover part 120, and a wall part 130.
  • the bottom part 110 consists of the bottom 101 and an upstanding rim 111 of a few centimeters high, which rim 111 in use will be directed upwards from the bottom 101.
  • the cover part 120 consists of the top wall 102 and an upstanding rim 121 of a few centimeters high, which rim 121 in use will be directed downwards from the top wall 102.
  • the cover part 120 and the bottom part 110 may be mutually identical, but it is also preferred that one is somewhat smaller than the other such as to be nestable within each other.
  • the cover part 120 may be somewhat larger than the bottom part 110, so that these two parts together may form a storage box with the cover part 120 as lid.
  • the wall part 130 consists of the rear wall 103, the two side walls 104, 105 foldably attached to the rear wall 103 at opposite edges, and two strips 134 and 135 foldably attached to the side walls 104, 105, respectively at the free edges thereof opposite the central rear wall 103. This assembly can be folded such as to fit in the above-mentioned storage box. In unfolded condition, the wall part 130 can be placed upright within the bottom part 110, and the cover part 120 can be placed over the wall part 130, such as to form the box 100.
  • the front wall 106 has a large opening 107 surrounded by relatively small wall portions defined by portions of rims 111 and 121 and by said two strips 134 and 135, which together form a window 108 around said opening.
  • the opening 107 which will hereinafter also be indicated as display opening, the interior 109 of the box 100 can be seen.
  • the box 100 in this condition, can be used as a magical theatre for performing conjurer's tricks, as will be explained later.
  • the dimensions of the box 100 are not critical, but for practical use the box 100 may have depth, width and height in the order of 40-100 cm.
  • the outside surfaces of the box 100 may be provided with sparkling decorations, as desired, and may even be provided with illumination.
  • the inside surfaces of the walls of the box, including the top wall and the bottom, are of a very dark colour, preferably black.
  • the interior 109 may be entirely empty, but the preferred embodiment is not.
  • the box 100 comprises a partitioning wall 140 standing upright on the bottom 101, having a height smaller than the interior height; a suitable height is in the order of about 10 cm.
  • the partitioning wall 140 extends from the one side wall 104 to the opposite side wall 105, at a distance from the rear wall 103, which distance is suitably about one-third of the depth of the box, although this distance is not critical; a suitable distance d is in the order of about 15 cm.
  • the partitioning wall 140 may be a planar wall parallel to the rear wall 103, but it may also be curved, as shown.
  • the space between the partitioning wall 140 and the rear wall 103 will be indicated as hiding space 141.
  • the bottom of the hiding space 141 is covered with a bottom cover 142 of a soft material, such as foam, sponge, carpet, or the like.
  • the floor of the interior 109 between the partitioning wall 140 and the opening 107 will be indicated as stage 143; this stage may be a part of the bottom 101, or may be raised by an insert having a black top surface, as shown in figure 2C .
  • the kit 1 further comprises at least one attribute having an at last partly black outer surface.
  • the key aspect of this feature is that such surface, when held before the opening 107 and especially when placed inside the box 100, is virtually invisible to spectators located in front of the box 100. In the following, some examples of such attributes will be described, including the tricks the player / conjurer can perform.
  • an attribute 300 has the general shape of an inversed cup.
  • the profile may be round or angular.
  • the cross section may be A or n, and actually the top may be open or closed.
  • the attribute 300 of figures 3A and 3B has a cone-shape.
  • the outer surface of this attribute 300 is entirely black.
  • the trick is played with a secondary attribute 302 fitting in the interior 301 of the attribute 300.
  • the secondary attribute 302 is bright enough such as to be normally visible.
  • the shape of the secondary attribute 302 is basically immaterial, but for increased suspense the shape may for instance be an animal.
  • the secondary attribute 302 When the secondary attribute 302 is placed on the stage 143 with the attribute 300 placed over it, the secondary attribute 302 is invisible to the spectators ( figure 3A ). When the conjurer lifts the attribute 300 (which as such can not be seen by the audience), while pronouncing a magical formula, the secondary attribute 302 magically appears ( figure 3B ). To have his hands free, the conjurer may place the attribute 300 on the stage 143 or in the hiding space 141. When the conjurer places the "invisible" attribute 300 over the secondary attribute 302, while pronouncing a different magical formula, this secondary attribute 302 magically disappears ( figure 3A ).
  • an attribute 310 consists of two separate components 311 and 312 as well as a secondary attribute 313, which in the example shown is a ball having a bright colour such as to be clearly visible.
  • the two separate components 311 and 312 are each similar to the attribute 300 discussed in the above, namely inverse-cupshaped; in the example shown, each of said components 311 and 312 has the shape of a truncated cone.
  • the two cones 311 and 312 are of soft and a flexible material, for instance plastic or rubber, and are of slightly different size so that they can be nested in each other.
  • the smaller cone 312 has a completely black outer surface, while the larger cone 311 has a bright colour such as to be clearly visible.
  • FIG 3C shows the ball 313 placed on the stage 143 with the smaller cone 312 placed over the ball 313 and with the larger cone 311 placed over the smaller cone 312.
  • the audience only sees the outer cone 311.
  • the conjurer may pick up the outer cone 311 so that the inner cone remains standing over the ball 313 ( figure 3D ): the black inner cone 312 makes the ball 313 invisible to the audience.
  • the conjurer may pick up the outer cone 311 while squeezing the outer cone 311 somewhat so that it will clamp the inner cone 312 and the inner cone 312 is lifted as well ( figure 3E ): now the clearly visible ball has magically appeared on the stage 143.
  • the conjurer may pick up the outer cone 311 while squeezing even harder, so that both the inner cone 312 and the ball 313 are lifted ( figure 3F ): now the stage 143 is empty.
  • an attribute 400 has two opposite surfaces 401 and 402.
  • One surface 401 is entirely black, the opposite surface 402 is bright enough such as to be normally visible.
  • the shape of the attribute 400 is basically immaterial, but for increased suspense the shape may for instance be an animal.
  • the trick is played by placing the attribute 400 on the stage 143.
  • the attribute 400 is visible to the audience ( figure 4B ).
  • the conjurer, pronouncing a magical formula turns the attribute 400 around so that the first surface 401 is directed towards the opening 107, the attribute 400 has magically disappeared ( figure 4A ).
  • the conjurer, pronouncing a different magical formula turns the attribute 400 around again so that the second surface 402 is directed towards the opening 107, the attribute 400 has magically reappeared ( figure 4B ).
  • the magical formula to be pronounced for making the secondary attribute 302 disappear is preferably identical to the magical formula to be pronounced for making the attribute 400 disappear. The same applies for the formulas to be pronounced for making the secondary attribute 302 or the attribute 400 appear.
  • a trick is played with a set of at least two, but preferably three cards 510, 520, 530.
  • Each card has a front side 511, 521, 531 and a back side 512, 522, 532, respectively.
  • Each front side 511, 521, 531 shows the same playing card (or other figure).
  • Each back side 512, 522, 532 is at least partly black.
  • a back side may be entirely black, but a back side may also comprise the face of the same playing card as the front side but at a smaller size.
  • Figure 5A shows a first playing card 510 having nine of hearts at its front side 511, while its back side 512 comprises a portion 513 containing the face of nine of hearts at a smaller size while the remainder portion 514 of the back side 512 is black.
  • a second playing card 520 also has nine of hearts at its front side 521, while its back side 522 comprises a portion 523 containing the face of nine of hearts at a smaller size while the remainder portion 524 of the back side 522 is black.
  • the size of second playing card 520 is substantially the same as the size of card portion 513 of the first card's back side 512.
  • a third playing card 530 also has nine of hearts at its front side 531, while its back side 532 is completely black.
  • the size of third playing card 530 is substantially the same as the size of card portion 523 of the second card's back side 522.
  • the different cards have mutually different sizes; the size ratio may for instance be about 1:1.5:2.
  • Another trick is played with two cards 510, 520 of different size, held back to back, as shown in figure 5B .
  • the cards back sides are entirely black.
  • the front side 511 of the larger card 510 is shown to the audience; the smaller card 520 is out of sight.
  • the conjurer holds the stack of cards 510, 520 inside the box 100, and turns the stack around so that the front side 521 of the smaller card 520 is facing the audience ( figure 5C ).
  • the portion of the back side 512 of the larger card 510 not covered by the smaller card 520 is invisible because of its being black.
  • the conjurer drops the larger card 510 into the hiding space 141 behind the partitioning wall 140 so that this card is out of sight ( figure 5D ).
  • the soft bottom cover 142 of the hiding space 141 prevents the audience from hearing the card drop.
  • the conjurer can now take the smaller card 520 out of the box and show it to the audience.
  • the conjurer may use a stack containing the third card 530 in between the first and second cards 510, 520 and placed back to back with the second card 520 ( figure 5E ), so that the same trick can be repeated to magically "shrink" the card once more.
