Can anyone tell me anything about this trick. I obviously don't want you to say how its done, but is it worth the money?

Difficult to know since the kind of device is not mentioned. A cigarette dropper is an affair worn near the edge of ones coat and will deliver the item when needed. Abbotts used to have them but it is unfortunately no longer listed in their latest catalog. It may still be worthwhile to give them a call. Most likely there are dealers in the UK that carry them. You might call the company in the advertisement and tell them you are interested in obtaining a cigarette dropper, if they mention the listed trick you have your answer.

I have this device and it works well in my act since at the end you produce the pack of cigs with the device in it. when you get it you have to alter the cigs short so they will fit but that makes the sleights even easier with short cigs

I use the "droppers" described by Frank. However, Abbott's was not my source. I expect that you could get them now from John Calvert. (Keller is the name I expect is best known for these droppers.)
Cigarette manipulation is something I learned from Tony Slydini in the 1960s. Tony only used regular Lucky Strikes back then. They are definitely easier to handle. However, he was not the only magician into cigarette magic. Filters were still not the "rule" then. Therefore, many of the original gimmicks require that the cigarettes today be shortened. Cigarettes with no “wrong” end will also give you many more options in your routine. The most useful manipulations of this sort that I learned from Slydini were not with cigarettes. Try using a long thumb tip the same as a cigarette but as a container. It is a close-up killer. Good Luck! Bob Magic By Sander |
