If the crackers, charades and Terry’s chocolate oranges are getting a bit routine, add some seasonal spice to your Christmas with Freaky Body Illusions from Marvin’s Magic – something your family and friends definitely won’t have seen before.

This sensational box of tricks is the perfect present for lovers of modern magic. Forget cards and coins – instead astound your friends and family with illusions using your own body. All the tricks are packaged into a compact cube-shaped box that will look fantastic wrapped under the Christmas tree. With its bold pink packaging and bright acid-green lettering, it’ll appeal to children and bigger kids alike and is suitable for ages 8 upwards.

The Freaky Body Illusions set is amazingly easy to master and comes with a DVD, so you can be sure that you’ll get those crazy special effects 100 per cent right before you perform in front of your audience. Forget sawing lady assistants in half, your spellbound audience will be gawping and grimacing in amazement – and no doubt hiding behind their hands - as you perform:

The Head Twister: Appear to spin your own head around 360º with the help of a mysterious black box.

Brain Flossing: Got a headache? Give your brain a quick floss, creating the illusion that green string is going through one ear and being pulled out of the other!

The Living Hand: Conjure up a ‘real-life’ severed hand - complete with bloody stump. This amazingly realistic disembodied horror hand can waggle its fingers and take on a life of its own. Remember Thing, the walking hand from The Munsters? Well, this is your own personal version! Warning: not suitable for the faint-hearted.

Hand in a Box: The mysterious real-life hand jumps out of the box at your audience

The Torn Arm: Carry a live severed arm that appears to be ripped straight from someone’s body.

Body Levitation: Levitate like a real-life shaman; simply drape a cloth across your body, mutter a spell and watch people’s jaw drop as you float into the air!

Stretchy Ear: Stretch your ear-lobe and astound your audience as you appear to cram your fingers right through it!

Digit Decapitation: Appear to remove your fingers and thumb – and then put them back on again!

Do the Bone Cruncher where you appear to be able to crack your bones!

Ghost Hand: A mysterious hand appears and jumps out from behind a cloth.
