MAK Magic Mandarin Plus Illusion

Collectible MAK Magic Prop!

The Illusion Effect

• • The Routine: The magician opens both the front and back doors of the cabinet to prove to the audience that it is completely empty.
  • The Production: After closing the doors, the magician reaches into the prop and continuously pulls out a massive volume of production items—such as large silk scarves, flower bouquets, or spring goods—seemingly out of thin air. 

Key Features

• Visual Appeal: It is famous for its vibrant “burst of color” palette, often featuring fluorescent paint styles common to late 20th-century MAK Magic apparatus. 
• Skill Level: Like many of MAK Magic’s classic catalog items, the illusion relies heavily on the clever mechanical design of the prop itself, requiring absolutely no sleight of hand or advanced technical skill to execute. 
• Collectibility: Because the company has long since ceased mass production of these large wooden studio items, the Mandarin Plus is now a highly sought-after piece of vintage apparatus

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

OLD VERSUS NEW

Items listed under Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic may range from 10 to 100 years old or more. These are not new magic props. They may show signs of age, handling, storage, repairs, fragility, paint loss, decal wear, or prior performance use.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
