Magic Tats by Chris Philpott

Temporary Tattoos. Permanent Memories. Ten classic magic effects. Ten endings nobody sees coming. Zero pocket space. Imagine having a miracle up your sleeve. Literally. A playing card tattoo that stretches halfway up your arm. A coin that vanishes into your skin. A tattoo that changes before your eyes. A beautiful Tree of Life that secretly hides a thought-of card. Welcome to MAGIC TATS! We live in the age of tattoos. They're everywhere. So why shouldn't some of them be magic? And here's the best part: you don't have to commit to a lifetime of ink to get a lifetime of reactions. Magic Tats are high-quality temporary tattoos that look like the real thing, last up to two weeks, and can be easily removed with baby oil or olive oil. Each package contains four copies of each of 24 different tattoos, giving you everything you need to perform ten terrific effects, including: THE LONG CARD An old classic gets a ridiculously funny new ending! A spectator selects the eight of clubs. You proudly announce that you have her card tattooed on your arm. Up goes your sleeve, revealing... the three of clubs. Wrong card! Or is it? You pull your sleeve up a little farther, revealing an impossibly LONG eight of clubs tattoo running up your arm! The Long Card has been getting laughs for generations. But pulling a long piece of cardboard out of your jacket is one thing. Having the world's most ridiculous playing card permanently (or so they think!) inked onto your skin? That's a whole new level of crazy. THE COIN ON ARM Now you see it. Now it's part of you. Rub a coin against your arm. It vanishes! And in its place? A perfect tattoo of the coin, right on your skin. Available with American, Canadian, European, British, and Mexican coins. And for sponge ball lovers, there's a version that lets you rub a red sponge ball right into your arm! THE TATTOOED MONKEY A tattoo they can see... but suddenly can't read! Using the ingenious 100th Monkey principle, you apparently take away a spectator's ability to read the words tattooed on your arm. The tattoo hasn't changed. But somehow, their mind has! YOUR CARD The oldest gag in the book gets a new look! "Would you be surprised if I had your card tattooed on my arm?" You roll up your sleeve to reveal the words: YOUR CARD Big laugh. But wait. You roll your sleeve up farther... And there, tattooed on your arm, is their actual selected card! A brilliant update of a classic gag by Magick Balay, used with permission. THE MIRACLE ON YOUR WRIST A thought-of card. A tattooed prediction. An impossible revelation. A spectator merely thinks of a playing card. You pull up your sleeve to show your wrist. There it is. Tattooed on your skin. No deck required for the revelation. Just a seemingly impossible prediction hiding in plain sight. BEFORE YOUR EYES Watch the ink change right on your skin! Norman Ashworth's classic slate effect enters the 21st century! Your tattoo reads: THE NAME OF THE CARD IS
