Review by Andy Martin for Monster Spring Snake by Unknown
5 out of 5
12 Feet of Monster!
If you’re going to produce a spring snake make it look scary and large. This baby is 12 feet long, and has a rattle in its tail too! Great fun, and actually looks like a snake, rather than a spring in a sack!

Great Running Gag with Color too!
This is a wonderful classic effect with the performer repeatedly returning to the plant to see if it will bloom. After flying snakes and all the business a beautiful bloom finally appears. Great fun!
Review by Andy Martin for The Magic Box by Arlen Studio

Well this makes you feel very special! Beautiful!
I was in two minds about buying just a pretty box/table particularly at this price. But when you see this baby, your heart melts. It is bigger than you would expect, and provides a perfect working surface for performing. It also has plenty of room inside to store cards, coins, and everything magical. Even above the mirror there is space for cards and other small items. Also the door that folds down has felt on it to layout cards.
Arlen Studios advertise themselves as Magic Handcrafted by Magicians for Magicians. Well this was clearly thought out by a magician. Very strongly recommended.
Also, contrary to some dealers comments having nice equipment won’t make you a good magician. But having a box like this might just intice you to put together a great close-up routine that fits neatly inside. Having put together the effects, you’ll find practicing them much easier and more enjoyable. And all that might just make you a better magician!
Wonderful finish, very solid. This box is not overpriced at all. I wish the photos could do justice to it. Keep an eye on Arlen Studios for more wonderful, original magic. Their track record so far is outstanding!
Review by Andy Martin for Manchurian Dragon Sticks by Arlen Studio
4 out of 5
Nice and Different
These are not quite the best Chinese Sticks I have ever owned, but they still are very nice and certainly the most unusual. They are smooth, have a good weight and would look wonderful in any collection or for performance.
Keep an eye on Arlen Studios, they are going places.

Much better than a hat!
The great thing about this beautiful box by Mel Babcock, is that you can show it empty put it down and reproduce your die or block without having to load it with the die. Saves all that putting the die in the hat and taking it out again. Simple and beautiful!

Review by Andy Martin for See Thru Block Box by Mel Babcock
5 out of 5
Just unbelievelable!
Its hard to imagine where the block goes – but baby it sure does go! This is a heavier and better quality one than the Mikame Craft one that is currently doing the rounds. Great job as ever by our guy Mel Babcock!
I really like this box from that nice guy Dean Dill – some people criticise it for not being new – but I think Dean is quite open where he got his ideas from and this is a wonderful effect. You have to learn the routine but the handling is not difficult. And the finish on the box is outstanding!
