Thru-N-Thru by Alan Warner
(c. 1973) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Leave it to Alan to add a twist to Ed Massey’s masterful creation Ribbon Fantastique. Two, not one, slotted cards are shown, one black and one white. One is chosen and both cards placed in a red holder with a large hole so that the two cards can become trapped to each other by lacing them with a red shoe string. Concentrate and the chosen card rises up loose from it’s string entrapment. Great magic and outstanding props.
A simple wooden frame – finished to our usual high standard of workmanship in a bright red gloss lacquer, with black trim – two pieces of plastic (one white, the other black and both with four small holes punched through them), and a colored shoe-lace are the props used in this mystifying little close-up effect.
Effect: A spectator is given A FREE CHOICE of either the white or black piece of plastic, both of which are then slipped into the frame. The colored shoe-lace is threaded backwards and forwards through the four small aligned holes, thus binding the two pieces of plastic securely together; however, in spite of this, as the performer holds the frame in front of him, the spectator is startled to see THE SELECTED PIECE OF PLASTIC slowly rising out of the top of the frame, MYSTERIOUSLY PENETRATING THE SHOE-LACE which is still threaded through the piece of plastic remaining in the frame.
The design of Thru ‘N’ Thru allows the props to be examined and makes the effect simple to work.

One gorgeous Warner version of a classic
This is an early painted item from Alan; his version of a classic. I have always loved this effect that I had Howard Hale of WoodMagic build me a custom version of his Clear Deception using exotic woods. Alan never released a teak version but it would be difficult to beat this brilliantly painted piece and it sure stands out nicely with my other cherished Warner pieces.
Leave it to Alan to add a twist to this routine. Two, not one, slotted cards are shown, one black and one white. One is chosen and both cards placed in a red holder with a large hole so that the two cards can become trapped to each other by lacing them with a red shoe string. Concentrate and the chosen card rises up loose from it’s string entrapment. Great magic and oustanding props.
