UUltimate Chinese Sticks, Kovari, Leslie
Think back when you were a kid. Every trick was a new treasure and you couldn’t wait for your birthday when your collection was sure to grow. Unfortunately you couldn’t buy every miracle you wanted and today those minor miracles are considered collectors items. The “Kovari Ultimate Chinese Sticks” were probably on that list, that is if you were lucky enough to know they existed. Unlike every other model of Chinese Sticks, these beauties allow the string to stretch three times their normal length. If you’re not familiar with the routine all we can say is, as you pull the short string the long string retracts into the stick. The audience believes the string is running down the end of one stick and out the end of the other, until you separate both sticks and continued the routine. Then George Kovari employed a mechanical principle for increasing the workload of the gimmick by three fold. Since then, the mark of perfection is the Ultimate Chinese Sticks.

Now, by popular demand, these masterpieces of magic are being made again saving you the time of hunting them down at auction. There are several improvements in the mechanics and appearance recently developed by master craftsman Jay Leslie from the House Of Enchantment. Yes, what we are saying is, Mr. Kovari sold the rights to his invention and by special arrangement with Magic City (new owners) and Jay Leslie (builder) a limited number of these most sought after very-clever devices are again available in Jays improved style.

Imagine the comedy appeal of pulling both strings over 5 feet out of the sticks! First you perform the routine like normal, then “accidentally” pull one string longer then expected and proceed to match it - then exceed it- in a comical and perplexing manor until each string is as long as five feet. Some performers stand on a chair allowing the tassel to drag on the floor..

New updated instructions are included with a few never-before published ideas for performance and we include a numbered certificate of authenticity giving you the privilege to perform the best made and most amazing version of the famous Chinese Sticks ever made.
I have created the finest - smoothest - cleanest - best set of Chinese Sticks man has ever laid his hands on, Jay Leslie
Read on and learn about the latest improvements:
1. The main tube is smaller then the original. Matter of fact, it could slip inside the original.
2. Thin pieces of custom made decorative embellishments were fused to all four sides of each stick, creating an upgraded magical appearance. When you hold the sticks four or more feet from the audience the tube may blend into your background and the remaining colored decoration creates an illusion of the sticks being smaller then they really are.
3. Even though the gimmick fits in a space that’s 27 percent smaller it weighs one ounce more giving you absolute control. You can cause the string to retract slowly & smoothly and you can start or stop it on command!
4. The tube is shorter (17 inches or 67cm) which allows the sticks to pack smaller.
5. Jay’s also thoughtfully installed “stops” near the top of the sticks on the inside. The “stops” prevent the gimmicks from rubbing against the string and prevent the string from ever binding.
There are other improvements we don’t have space to write about here, but take our word for it. The Kovari Ultimate Chinese Sticks (remanufactured by Jay Leslie) will be considered the best Chinese Sticks ever made. You'll be thrilled when you pull the strings the first time or the thousandth time. You'll own a modern day piece of magical history. Put them in your collection or perform them in your show.

If you perform for the Boy Scouts, you and your friend can mix and match. Your friend orders a yellow set, you order a blue set & you each trade one stick then you can each perform the "Blue And Gold Trick"

Three colors to chose from: Red, Blue and Yellow. Choose a color that's different from your costume and curtains.

1. Yellow is the brightest. Yellow is a great color for kids shows and it's easiest to see on stages.
2. Blue is the most deceptive. The audience pays more attention to the string and tassels. Blue is best if you believe the performance is more important then the prop.
3. Red is complementary to many magic themes but all colors work just as smoothly as each other.
