Hello Andy. First, I just want to say you have a very practical and useful site that I just keep coming back to every so often. It is a great site and thanks for maintaining it and sharing it with us fellow magicians. I have added some tips and reviews hoping to help others also when they come to look at the pictured tricks you have there.

A True Classic
In the Magic Cafe, someone asked the question, "If you could only keep 5 books or series of books, which would you keep?" Among the books in my answer was Richard’s Collected Almanac. The others were Lorayne’s Apocalypse volumes, Giobbi’s Card College series, Ibidem set, and all six volumes of Marlo’s Magazine. Collected Almanac is full of great magic from top names in the field. Richard Kaufman is no stranger to those who admire well illustrated and well published books on magic, so this is definitely a MUST in any library. BTW, the most popular answer was Paul Harris’ Art of Astonishment set.

Beautiful Knives!
I was actually hesitant to order these knives. But I remembered owing a cheap set when I was a kid and felt nostalgic for those magic knives. I had heard wonderful comments on Joe Mogar so when I saw these limited edition knives, I decided, "what the heck". Well, everyone…these are truly worth your money and attention. Excellent craftsmanship and beautiful handles. Esthetics aside, these knives are trim and well balanced. They seem to almost perform in your hands by themselves with only slight coaching on your part. I don’t know how many Joe intends to sell of these little beauties, so better hurry!

God Bless America and Joe Mogar!
What could be more apt these days than performing a high quality knife routine and ending up with the good old Stars and Stripes!
Thanks to Joe Mogar you can now do it with style too! As with all Joe’s knives they are perfectly balanced and feel so good in your hands.

Doesn’t get any better
I did a show last night for and with my fifth graders, an older kid thought he new it all so I asked him to put his hand of each side of the cube and then sit only few feet away— he was amazed as it diappeared and really enjoyed the rest of show with no more — I know how it is done remarks !!!

This is a real WINNER from Mel!
This is a very visual and dramatic piece of magic from that wonderful wood craftsman in Washington state. The method is clever and the workmanship impeccable. Mel’s keen choice of exotic woods makes this and, I assume, his other “bigger” items stand out uniquely. Mel used in my copy of this item a light beautifully “flamed” Canary Wood…gorgeous! What great eye appeal. I would have bought it just to look at the wood. Most highly recommended.

Move over Owen, Mel Babcock is here
Is is possible to find magic equal, actually I believe better, than comparable pieces from Owen’s Magic at real bargain prices? Turn your attention to Cashmere, WA…the home of Mel Babcock. This is one beautiful set of boxes. And you can do some great magic too. Mel’s use of exotic woods is to be commended. My set was made with Sapele, Peroba Rosa, Walnut (the most beautifully grained walnut I have ever seen), Lacewood, and in the smallest box, Jatoba. The interior red lining of each box, superb! The method is devilish and very easily workable. Simply, WOW!
