INSTRUCTIONS NEEDED FOR 3725 CIRCUS MAGICIAN
« on: January 12, 2011, 00:30:04 »
I've had this set for years, but I bought it second hand and it came without instructions!

http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3725.htm

I know how to work the magic box, but thought that if I'm taking a circus diorama to Knaresborough it was time I learnt how to do the rest of the tricks  :lol:
I'd be grateful if anyone could email me the instructions.
 :thanks:

HI

Beyond the box I had no idea there were other tricks.

I would like to know them too. Our kids and their friends always get a big kick out of the box one. I never told them how it worked but they were able to figure it out  :P

I had a chance to get this box from a toy warehouse I visit often, but dismised the idea as I thought I would have no use for it... I regret that now... And I am certainly eager to see how the box works!

I had this set a few months ago, but then I decided to drop the circus theme and sold it. :-\

I don't recall any other tricks on the instructions apart from how to use the box. The little clear plastic thing with a rod sticking up goes through the pre-cut hole in the red "carpet" piece, and this allows the assistant klicky to grab it and appear to be levitating. You can kind of see how it is set up in this picture...

It's a wonderful set full of nice ideas.  :love:

The levitation trick goes like this:
1. Assistant klicky lies between the two chairs.
2. Carefully, the assistant graps the clear (invisible) handle.
3. The magician removes one chair after the other.
4. To prove the levitation he goes along his assistant with the loop, carefully leaving out the handle.
5. The magician brings back the chairs to re-awake the assistant to normal state.

There is no further information on the tricks with the instructions.  ::)

I remember this set!  It has those wonderful sparkly pieces.  (the assistant's dress and the magician's hat?)

Hi

Oh dugh, I do not have the clear part and even did not know it existed. Now it all makes sense why I could never get her to float. Now if only someone could figure our Richards flying plane trick I will be set  ;) I have some pictures to make and that bugger has some tight lips   :-X

Thanks for that, it was the levitating trick that I couldn't work out and where the cover with the hole came into it all.  I don't know if I have the clear piece either  :-[  I may have to look out for another set now!
