Devil's Handkerchief by Bizar De Magia

Effect

The Devil's Handkerchief makes small objects vanish instantly. A magician places an item inside the folded handkerchief, then opens it to reveal the object has disappeared. The effect is clean and visual, with no suspicious movements or hidden devices.

Full details

The Devil's Handkerchief is made from a nylon-cotton blend, giving it a smooth, silky feel. Unlike rough cotton handkerchiefs, this material allows for easy handling and better durability. The prop comes in a box with printed instructions inside, available in English and Spanish as a PDF download.

The method requires no sleight of hand, magnets, or threads. The performer simply folds the handkerchief, places an object inside, and opens it to make the item vanish. Reset time is instant if the object does not need to reappear. If retrieval is necessary, the magician must briefly access the hidden compartment, which can be done discreetly.

Who should consider the trick

This trick suits magicians of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. It works for close-up, stage, and mentalism performances. Social media creators can also use it for visual magic videos. Scott Perry calls it a "right of passage in magic," suggesting every magician should own one.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The Devil's Handkerchief is extremely easy to use. There are no complex moves or techniques to master. Perry states, "There's no sleight of hand, there's no magnets, there's no thread—there's nothing really for you to mess up." The large, natural movements make it ideal for nervous performers.
