I have aquired (via the secondhand section of a weekly magic website) a trick called "Magic Painting" but not the instructions or routine and I,m hopeing that some nice person could either pm or email them to me.
I understand that some folk may wonder if I've really got the trick and can, if needbe, email them proof.
thanks

If you haven't got the instructions then I think you have cause for complaint.I suggest you speak to the seller.

As a matter of interest which version is it - there are loads of versions of magic painting.

hi david,
I brought it 2nd hand as a xmass prezzie for my girlfriend, the seller said they would see if they have the instructions, but havm't got back to me yet.
I will see which vertion when it gets warm enough to get out of bed and get back to you.
Thanks for taking an intrest. She's wanted the trick for ages and I dont want to say "heres your prezzzie, but we dont know how to use it"

theres no makers name on the trick. Infact the closer I look, the more certain I am that it,s a home made job. (My fault for buying 2nd hand).
Theres a worm to butterfly
sad clown to happy juggling clown
top hat that a rabbit comes out of
and a snowman
theres also the frame they go in
If anyone knows of a you tube link to the trick, then maybe I can work it out from that

You have this in hand and you still can't figure it out? I must be thinking of another effect let me know if my description is correct of the effect.

The pictures as you describe are in black and white. You put them in the frame, when you pull them out of the frame they are in colour.

If that is the effect than you should be able to figure out the workings with props in hand as it is totally mechanical, unless of course you didn't get all the parts then you either have to make some up (depending on the part) or you are just screwed.

As for presentation I suggest making up your own. Really just weave a story around the pictures.

Of course I may be thinking of something totally different.

i once had a girlfriend who liked kinder eggs. After eating the egg she would wait till I'd smoked something "insperational", then give me the toy to make but not the instructions, and sit back, enjoying the sight of me takeing half an hour to make a cowboy, only to find out that it is infact, a helicoptor.
Having a trick, even a basic one, without knowing if the effect you've worked out is the one the makers recomend is very similer.
Thanks to a very helpful friend I now know that I have indeed worked it out correctly and that there is not a 3rd and final stage that I, in my foolishness, had overlooked
Like I said, the trick is not for me. As someone who works in the 15th century I personly advoid anything with plastic, and as such had not seen a performance of the effect
