Sleight of Hand Creams

Dan and Dave Industries Releases a Hand Cream For Magicians

— October 25, 2011 — Fashion
For those who earn their bread by performing the slight of hand, the magicians at Dan and Dave Industries have got the hand cream for you. The lotion was originally created for the conjuring duo Dan and Dave by Fulton's Apothecary and now that it has been enclosed in fancy, old-timey packaging, the cream is ready for your bathroom cabinet. Dan and Dave are both magicians and earn their living dazzling the general public with their astounding tricks. Considering their trade, the pair was eager to find a hand cream that had their best interests at heart. Since their hands are integral to the successful performance of their craft, both Dan and Dave were in need of a lotion that was "quick absorbing, long lasting," and didn't leave a greasy residue.

Fulton's Apothecary created a cream using Jojoba to solve the grease problem and boosted the lotion's nourishing properties with ingredients such as Shea Butter and Vitamine E oil. The concoction also contains coffee oil, so it is loaded with antioxidants. Fitting with the manufacturers old-school name and persona, the elixir is packaged in glass medicine bottles and adorned with labels sporting seemingly handwritten elements and throwback typography.

Dan and Dave Industries have created a product that seems to hearken back to the day of the great Houdini. Get your hands on a bottle before they disappear.
