Util-A-Prop by Jay Leslie, Herb Ort
(c. 1956,2004) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This effect was created by Herb Ort c. 1956. It was then purchased by Jim Swoger c. 1971 and the House of Enchantment. It has subsequently been re-released by Jay Leslie and the House of Enchantment c. 2004 – this is the Jay Leslie version.
Illusion Makers made an unauthorized copy using the same method called Quadraplex. Quadraplex was built slightly better than Util-A-Prop with finer woods and materials, but they did so without any authority or permission of the original inventor. Even so Util-A-Prop is very well made and you will find many uses for it.
Effect: If you want to display playing cards or E.S.P. cards use Util-A-Prop. If you need a tray Use Util-A-Prop. if you need a black board to write on use Util-A-Prop.
In addition to all these general uses there is a built in very clever SWITCHING DEVICE that enables you to switch anything placed on the easel QUICKLY, SILENTLY & INDETECTABLY.
Think of all the effects possible with this device in your possession. The instructions list the following effects:
- 2 Predictions Reading Serial Numbers On Borrowed Bills.
- A Memory Feat That Requires No Memory.
- A Lock And Key Divination (Bank Night Out)
- Question And Answer Act
- Torn Card Revelation
- Newspaper Prediction
- E.S.P. effects as well as regular cards
- And more.
Util-A-Prop can be used with or without an assistant.
The size of the tray is 9″ X 17″ and only 3/4 of an inch thick. The easel sits on top of the tray as pictured. Util-A-Prop Is large enough to see from the largest stage yet works well in a small room too.
Util-A-Prop is The Answer when you want to Silently switch cards, Envelopes, Keys or any number of other flat objects. It will even fool you. The last time Util-A-Prop was made was 20 years ago. We have improved on the original design both mechanically and ascetically. Util-A-Prop Is the only switching device we know of that is able to do a dozen different effects.
Included are, four pages of thorough instructions explaining every possible way Util-A-Prop can be used.

Andy Martin –
This really is a Wonderful Utility Prop!
I love this prop. It has many, many uses and is a clever, but simple to operate, prop that you will love. You can perform many kinds of prediction effects from cards, to billets, to random questions. You can use it to force a card or cards, colors, numbers, etc. You can use it for a very clean Bank Night effect.
You can also use this prop to display cards, as a tray or as a black board. In addition, it is a very clever switching device that is very clean and silent. It truly is a utility prop.
This version comes with 4 pages of routines and ideas by Jay Leslie.
This effect was created by Herb Ort in 1956. It was then purchased by Jim Swoger in 1971 and the House of Enchantment. It has subsequently been re-released by Jay Leslie and the House of Enchantment in 2004. Illusion Makers made an unauthorized copy using the same method in the late ’70s or early ’80’s called Quadraplex. Quadraplex was built slightly better than the current Util-A-Prop with finer woods and materials, but they did so without any authority or permission of the original inventor. Even so Util-A-Prop is very well made and you will find many uses for it.
Highly Recommended!
