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
You rub the words with your fingers...
And the tattoo visibly transforms into:
THE TEN OF HEARTS!
A stunning visual moment that happens right before their eyes.

THE ASHWORTH VARIATIONS
A word changes into the very word they're thinking of!
An ordinary-looking word tattoo becomes something extraordinary when it visibly changes into a spectator's thought-of word.
A classic principle with an entirely new canvas: your skin.

THE TREE OF LIFE
A beautiful tattoo with a secret hiding in its branches.
At first glance, it's an elegant Tree of Life tattoo.
But turn your arm upside down, and the branches reveal something astonishing: the name of a playing card!
A mysterious revelation hidden inside a piece of wearable art.

PICKING OFF THE PIP
A little sleight of hand. A little sleight of skin.
Show the three of hearts.
Pluck the center heart right off the card, transforming it into the two of hearts!
Then rub the stolen heart onto your arm...
Where it becomes a tattoo!
A delightful new twist on a Dai Vernon classic.
PLUS...
A tattoo revelation for a classic psychological force!

TEN EFFECTS. ZERO POCKET SPACE.
No bulky props. No suspicious apparatus. Just powerful, visual magic that's always ready to go.
Magic Tats takes classic plots that magicians already love and gives them something they never had before:
An ending nobody sees coming.
And because the tattoos are temporary, you can change your repertoire whenever you like.
