Perfect Match – Every Time!

I love this effect! It is based on the same principle used in one of the phases in Larry Becker’s Casino Royale, but this effect is much more impromptu.

You basically talk about how you’ve been collection matchbooks for each hotel you stay at and clearly show a bag full of different books. You pull out a few of the books to show they are all different and to wax and wane fondly about what you did at that hotel! The spectator then has a free choice out of any of the matchbooks and of course it matches the door key that you were left with.

Reset is instant and it is very easy to do. There is no switching of matchbooks or using clear forcing bags or any such madness! This makes a lot of sense and is a wonderful effect.

Highly Recommended!

This had me fooled!

This is a clever little miracle from Wayne Dobson and I love it!

You show a domino with 6 dots that can freely be moved around and ask a spectator to position them in any combination they fancy. Then as a gag you talk about how magicians use mirrors all the time in their acts. You bring out a mirror and explain how you had made a prediction of the domino they would create – just look in the mirror and there is the reflection of their chosen domino!

Of course they are not impressed, so then the magician turns over the mirror and their is there choice printed on the back!

This is a very sweet fool proof prediction, with instant reset and very easy to do. It will fool you too!

This is my favorite of the Wayne Dobson miracles I recently purchased. Keep an eye on this guy – he has some wonderful magic!

If you like Big Red you’ll love this one!

This is a simple but surprising revelation of the spectator’s (forced) card, using a picture of a flasher!

The wallet that comes with it is specially made such that it appears that you really are pulling out the "unexposed" view of the flasher, but it allows you to switch it for the full frontal version.

Very easy to do, and makes a nice break from the other heavy magic I’m sure you are performing 🙂

This is not offensive, and comes from the fertlie mind of Wayne Dobson.

This looks like hard-core Sleight of Hand!

This is a great matrix like effect with 3 coins and 3 cards. It looks like you are a very accomplished sleight of hand expert, but it is very easy to do. Reset is easy too. It does need to be performed on a close-up mat.

You could even do it with one hand, which is the way Wayne Dobson demonstrated it to me at the recent TAOM convention, and it totally fooled me.

What a talented and truly nice guy Mr. Dobson is!

Very nice watch, and surprising revelation!

This watch looks like a nice quality dress watch. But it has the wonderful property of behing able to make a selected card (forced of course) appear beneath the watch face.

It works very quietly and smoothly and is a great utility prop that can be used at anytime in your act. Seeing the card on the watch face is a real surprise and fools them everytime!

The only downside is that you cannot use the watch to tell the time. This is kind of a silly thing, but that is how it goes I guess.
