Cute pocket trick or puzzler?
This is a nice piece…well done but the effect is more of a puzzle or challenge than a magical effect. The effect is that the dice appears trapped in the closed box and can not be turned, yet the magician is able to accomplish with ease. The accompanying patter is good but I would recommend the CW Loaded Dice if you want a nice dice trick.

Cute little guy!
For the mini-magic collectors out there, this is a very well built version of the classic card duck effect. The mechanics work smoothly and the finish is great; paint is thick and smoothly applied for durability. The routine with the blindfold is cute. Well recommended. I bought mine over 12 years ago and the bottom has what looks like a serial number (113); I am not sure if this is still being done.

Ok prop but presentation is key
I bought this watch many years ago and returned it. The watch itself is no match for a real antique pocket watch and the method used to accomplish the effect proved, in my opinion, rather disappointing. I guess I expected some fancy mechanical marvel. I suggest you save your money and invest in a Richard Gerlitz Prediction Watch, but if this is out of your price range, the Geneva watch is better than nothing. With a strong presentation, it should be entertaining.

A true close up collector’s piece
I like this effect alot. Granted it is expensive, but very limited and beautifully made. I actually couldn’t figure out how the magic happened and fooled myself the first time I used this. Basically the dice are placed into the box by the spectator, shook, and the numbers added up. This is done again. And, once again. All numbers are added up and it is found that the total matches a written prediction that was in full view of the audience at all times. Very diabolical. This is not a sure shot box. Baffling.

Another beauty from Richard Gerlitz
I received this piece shortly after Richard released it and it’s a nicely done piece of magic. His “bigger” items are expensive, so it’s nice to see the more “affordable” stuff as a break. These are all limited edition and serially numbered pieces, which makes them collectible. The prop is plastic but well made. The Okito style decal is beautiful. The effect is a prediction of the total on three dice after several shakes in the box. The method is clever and the prop accomplishes the effect without any struggle on the magician’s part.

Nice props but great patter
Another “inexpensive” item from the workshop of Richard Gerlitz. The props are nice but what sells this piece is the beautifully thought out patter and routine. It’s quite entertaining and a real fooler. It has never failed to leave that awe look on people at the end of the routine. Again, this item is a limited edition and serially numbered effect, so it will not be available for a long time. There are probably a handful left as I write this.

Beautiful props and nice magic
This a very nice “rising card” effect where two chosen cards “rise” separately and horizontally through the deck to appear at its face. All done while the deck is under a glass dome inside a tumbler and all covered by a handkerchef. The method is great and the mechanics work smoothly. The version I own is an early model whereby the wood base is much thinner than the new ones and it’s done in beautifully finished black walnut. It’s a real attraction when displayed. One of my favorites of the CW line.

This is very strong indeed and easy to do!
This is a wonderfully strong and effective Poker Deal effect that is very easy to do, and each section of the routine leads to an even more imposible demonstration.
This is Bruce Bernstein at his best and I love it!

Large Knife and Very Entertaining
This is a simple idea but dressed up to entertain. It bascially has an audience member pushing the huge hunting knife into the deck and cutting to their card. However, the routine is very funny and its very effective.

A tip for Performers
I have found that when you lay out the face up packet in a random order and then shuffle the face down packet, in addition to dealing it out in a random order, it helps sell the effect. Then the spectator cannot know the order of the face down cards and can concentrate on one while you remove all but one face up card. Then when there is a perfect match at the end it floors them. Not to mention the kicker after…
Good luck and have fun with this one.
P.S. It would be great, and am note sure if there isn’t a way, to have a couple different ending cards for us restaurant workers.. (hint hint)
