Novel and Cute!

When I first received this from my main rare and used magic man Ron Allesi, I was a bit dissappointed. However, knowing Ron pretty well I knew he wouldn’t sell me a dud so I cleaned it up, tightened the bolts and was pleasantly surprised!

It really does look effective when the card slowly, but surely appears on the web until it is held by the spider. The only real downside to this effect is that it does take a few minutes to prepare the card. But nothing too crazy. It did take me a bit of time working out the best length too – that should have been in the instructions.

This baby is a bit different and looks great in performance and in the magic den. Thanks Ron!

Sweet Silver Balls!

These balls from Mark Burger are a real delight. Great weight and they look so cool! They need to be handled cleanly, otherwise there is the chance they will “talk” but that is the case with most sets so although it would have been nice to have seen some sort of felt or padding action these are still a beautiful set.

Not for people with small hands, or small wallets for that matter since they are fairly expensive. But if you wanted to get the ultimate set of balls, these babies could well be the ones.

Not your usual Milk Jug

This milk jug is very well made and although it can be used as a traditional Milk Jug it is really designed to visibly empty, and for the milk to appear somewhere else.

I tend to steer away from liquid effects, even the beautiful Gerlitz Goldfish was too much for me due to the liquids, but I think having a Milk Jug always comes in handy. This particularly one is one of the prettiest ones I’ve seen.

Well made and Effective!

I have been meaning to buy this effect for a long time, but felt I was going to be dissappointed! Well it is actually a lot better than I expected and I believe this can work out to be a very effective routine.

There is one move you have to learn that is not difficult, and a miniscule amount of memory work. It can have a different result every time and you do not need to know the specators star sign in advance.

Very well made, and a fooler!

Howie was right on this baby!

I have bought a lot of slates over the years, so I was very skeptical when my good, but short friend, Howie at the Trickery, recommended this baby. Who needs another slate? Well I think you can dump your others for this one!

It is beautiful and better than any slate I have ever seen. It works with any books too – astute observers might notice that the 3 books in the photo actually come from Larry Becker’s Ultimate Flashback, but for this effect the books are totally ungimmicked.

You ask 1 or 3 spectators to turn to any page of any book and you immediately write down the first word on the page. Its that clean.

This really is a sweet slate! Thanks Howie!
