Experience the Illusion: A Match’s Mystical Journey

Matchbook Follies features two distinct elements: the matchbook sequence and the levitation sequence. The matchbook sequence is entirely self-contained, while the levitation sequence requires minimal setup with the included high-quality assistance. This trick is as practical as floating a banknote or paper rose, making it versatile for multiple performances in real-world settings.
Themed to your brand, the matchbook is made of durable plastic, ensuring longevity. Don Wayne’s ingenuity shines through with exceptional mechanics and gadgetry, though mastery requires practice to deliver a performance that truly mesmerizes.
With a wave of your hand you cause the cover of a matchbook to magically open as though it were a curtain.
Inside is a single match representing your assistant. You gesture “hypnotically” at the match and it moves… swaying back and forth. With a snap of your fingers the match stops, then reclines to a horizontal position. With another wave of your hand the match then floats up, out of the match-book and in to midair! Away from you, your hand or any other support.
You then remove your finger ring which acts as a hoop and pass it over and around the floating match.
Upon command the match descends back to the matchbook then stands back up, as a finale it take a bow as the cover slowly closes to finish a most unusual performance.
Includes the special matchbook, gimmick for the animation and levitation, instructions, routine, finger rings, practice rig, matches, everything you need to start performing straight away!
There’s 2 elements to this effect, the matchbook sequence and the levitation sequence. The former is completely self-contained within the matchbook, the latter requires some “external help” (there’s a spool of very high quality “help” included) but the hook-up is easy and practical. It’s comparable with a floating banknote or floating paper-rose in terms of the work involved so whilst you might not want to use it “table-hopping” it can be performed out in the real world and repeated multiple times a night without any major reset.
The matchbook can easily be themed to look like any brand of matches you like – it’s actually made of plastic so will last! Like all Don Wayne products there’s a fantastic mechanism and gadgetry making the magic happens, but you still need to rehearse the effect properly so that you can give a performance as good as it deserves.
