EP Racing 28" RC Boat Electric (FREE SHIPPING)

With the warm (and in some areas) hot weather, there is nothing like racing an RC boat on the water or swimming pool. One of the hottest sellers this year is the EP series of remote control boats.

"It's not the only boat we offer", says Troy McDonald of HobbyTron.com, but "it's one of the ones that are flying out the door this season." "When we first added RC boats none of us were too excited, but man, people really seem to like RC boats..."

Ant Farm of the Future - Antworks Habitat

Remember the old ant farms? They're still fun and educational, but check out the new futurisitic ant farm:

Fascinating creatures ants. Sure you hate to see them in your socks or making a B-line for that pizza crust crumb you forgot to sweep up at the local LAN party. But let's give credit where credit is due. Ants are amazing. Ants can lift up to 20x their body weight! They have two stomachs and three eyes! They also have uncanny communication skills and amazing abilities to work together to achieve a common goal.

This miraculous gel, derived from a NASA Space experiment, serves as both habitat and nutrition for your ants - allowing you to watch in awe as they turn a brick of aqua-blue gel into a fascinating colony of tunnels. Never before have you been so capable of watching these awesome creatures at work.

Consider Ants a pest? Think again. As Sun Tzu stated, 'Know Thy Enemy'. And what better way to know them then in this totally enclosed space age aquarium. Ants are perhaps the most populous creatures on the face of planet earth, with at least ten thousand species and countless trillions of individual ants. Bring them indoors today with Antworks!

* AntWorks is based on a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how ants successfully tunnel in microgravity.
* The AntWorks Gel (Non Toxic) is complete with nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new colony.
* Watch ants live, work and tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel as they create series upon series of intricate tunnels.
* Easy to care for - Ants need NO food or water.
* Case is 6.5" x 5.5" x 1.25"

Blizzard by Dean Dill Now Available

Dean Dill's Blizzard has fooled most of the top minds in magic. The effect sounds too incredible to be true: A spectator freely names any card, and a deck which has been in full view is spread to reveal that every card is blank ... except for the spectator's named card!

No rough and smooth, no long and short, no double sided cards Everything may be immediately examined.

Aces In Their Faces by Bob Kohler Now Available

David Copperfield, Ricky Jay and countless other professionals have been making the Ace Assembly one of the highlights of their close-up and stand-up shows for many years and now you, too can perform this classic immediately-without years of practice.

The Effect:

A deck of cards is shown to be all face-down. You make a magical gesture and show the Ace of Spades now face-up on top of the deck! The deck is cut, squared-up and magically, the remaining three aces also turn face-up! The deck is then separated at the aces into four piles. Without any funny moves whatsoever, the four aces magically migrate, jumping into one packet!

- No counts to remember
- Immediately resets-as soon as the trick is over you're ready for the next performance!
- It doesn't get any cleaner than this!

Ball Square Mystery by Goshman Now Available

A sponge cube is displayed to the audience. The magician shows his left hand to be empty and then closes it into a fist. The cube is placed on top of his fist and pushed down inside with the right index finger. The magician then asks the audience if they know which hand the cube is in, but their answer makes no difference-the magician opens both hands to show a sponge ball in each hand.

The Vanishing Bandanna by Woodmagic Studio is Now Available at HobbyTron.com

The Vanishing Bandanna created by Woodmagic Studio is now available at HobbyTron.com and is a very entertaining trick to perform for pre-teens on up. Here's the effect:

You explain to the audience that you subscribe to a mail order magic company that sends you magic lessons on a CD. You received one today and brought it to show the audience how you learn your tricks.

You open the shipping box and remove a CD. With any CD player, you put the CD in and start the lesson. After a short music introduction a pleasant female voice explains that this is "The Lesson of the Vanishing Bandanna." The voice tells you that you will need two props for this trick. The first is a large dark colored square of fabric and the second being a yellow bandanna. Upon these words you reach into the shipping box and bring out a piece of dark fabric and a yellow BANANA, not a yellow bandanna! The voice continues to explain that this lesson is about "Palming" and instructs you to fold up the yellow bandanna and vanish it in the dark square of fabric. This is done, but you are really folding and mashing up the banana...which will get a great response of laughter fom the audience. The trick ends with you vanishing the folded and mashed BANANA in the dark fabric square.

The Routine Is Very Easy To Perform.
The CD Talks You Through the Entire Trick.
Comes Complete With a Performance "Shipping Box", Professionally Produced Three Minute CD, Devil's Napkin and Written Instructions.
You Supply the Real Banana.
