The Famous Crystal Box
Another Tenyo Favorite. The ball Penetrates the box when covered by a hanky.

ET Thumb Glow
This trick is great, I recommend that you buy 2 of them. Where it looks like you are passing the glow light back and forth from hand to hand.

Review by Andy Martin for Definitive Hole In One by Definitive Magic
Sometimes You Need the Definitive Version
Well Howie and Bobby have taken one huge step further to extreme high quality collectable props with their latest release. Hole in One, which is directly based on the Jack Hughes origination Penetra-Spheres, has been a favorite with magicians for many years and this version is easily the best – it’s also the most expensive by far – but you get what you pay for.
Currently there are a very few of these floating around, and my guess is that there won’t be many more. They are very time consuming to make and are aimed at a fairly small Collector market. But if you truly want the ulitmate version of this effect then this is easily it.
The Shot Glass is very snug once placed on the tray – unlike the Abbott’s version. The mechanism is carefully hidden with a secret release that makes it difficult to see anything from beneath. For the final revelation the spectator can be holding the tray without any worries that they will notice anything.
It’s as close to perfection as you can come. Is it too expensive? Well that depends on if you want the best or not. If you do fancy one then take a trip over to Howie right now because they don’t have many left. I am really looking forward to the next release from these guys – they are getting better and better!
Great Job! Highly recommended if you like expensive high quality magic!

Review by George Guerra for Triple Card Prediction by Mel Babcock
A REAL Babcock Winner
I had seen this effect from Mel Babcock in his book and had contemplated buying one but never came around to doing it, till now. Well, I received it today and I am exhilirated. Beautiful prop made with fine solid walnut and zebrawood touches, easy to perform, and very clever method. The best part is the price. How Mel can sell such quality magic for such low prices is beyond me. However, I am sure glad to add this apparatus to my collection and that’s that I am picky. Clearly one of his BEST.
The effect is straightforward. Three red back cards are freely selected and placed in the holders without showing the faces. Then, three faced cards are selected from a blue back deck and also placed on the holders, the values facing the spectators. One by one, each holder is slowly swiveled around and the cards MATCH. Again, there is NO FORCE involved.
It’s Magic like this that makes one so happy to be in this hobby.

Review by Chance Wolf for Rainbow Die Box by Mel Babcock
AMAZING!! Simply Amazing!
I have become a good friend of Mel’s over the years and have always admired his brilliant woodwork. As a builder myself, I can fully appreciate how much work and effort goes into Mel’s creations.
I have just purchased the Rainbow Die Box! It is my FIRST Die Box I have ever owned and I must say that I could not have made a better choice. Actually, it has saved me money as I have no need to look further. I believe this is the Rolls Royce of Die Boxes.
The price is INCREDIBLE given the attention to detail and extra effects built into the prop! How Mel can offer such quality at a reasonable price is beyond me but hey..I aint complaining 🙂
Do yourself a favor and buy this!
