Spelling Bee by Irv Cook, Daytona Magic
(c. 1987) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This was invented by Irv Cook c. 1987. This is a great versatile effect that can be used for a variety of shows.
You are limited to words with the same number of letters in it than your board can hold. Smaller words will work also. Sometimes the bottom of the prop will separate a bit causing the letters to fall through the crack, but a bit of tape or glue and it’s an easy fix. This is a well built solid prop (block of wood and plexiglass) that will last a long time. The letters may need replacing after a few years though.
Effect: A board with seven letters in no particular order is shown to the audience. The board is turned around showing the audience that each space for a card has a number. The cards are removed and handed out to a spectator to shuffle.
The cards are now handed back to the magician, one at a time, and placed into the board wherever the spectator chooses. When the board is turned around, A predetermined word is written on the board. This word can be a magic word, a birthday child’s name, the name of the organization that you are doing a show for, etc.
This is by far one of the best children’s effect of the 20th century! The kids will love it!
Spelling Bee MEASURES 19″ X 3″. Cards Measure 2″ x 3 1/4″. Beautifully made and silk screened.

Spelling bee board
This is a great versatile effect that can be used for a variety of shows. Well built and customizable, the board shows a word spelled with separate letters, you turn the board around, remove the letters, shuffle them face down and either you or a volunteer randomly puts them back into the board. when the board is turned around again to face the audience, the original (or a different) word has been spelled perfectly. Great effect, seemingly impossible, and it works just as well for adults as it does for a family or children’s audience.
A great prop that I use often. especially when I’m asked to perform at a themed show and I need a custom trick quick. Superhero show? have the word spell a hero’s name. Corporate show? have the company’s name or their product written on the board. Recycling show, have the letters spell recycle. Child’s birthday? have the letters spell the child’s name!
