This Outhouse is the IN thing!

I have followed Chance’s magic since he opened up shop, but never dived into his Wacky children effects because of the size and lack of interest in children’s magic. Well, I have learned that children’s magic can be quite entertaining to an adult audience. The routine is often a complete show in itself with a comical story to back it up…it always brings a big smile, and a chuckle, just imagining the presentation in your head when you read the instructions.

The new Wacky Micro-magic line is a beauty consisting of tiny, very colorful, entertaining, and well built props. This new Mini Outhouse is, simply, adorable! It captures most, if not all, of its big brother’s features…actually the "hole" seat in the Mini is more consistant with a real outhouse than the flushing toilet in the big model, but that’s such a minor issue.

This is an all wood construction with a "rustic", but very appropriate, look..hey, have you ever seen an outhouse with the looks of a Frank Lloyd Wright design and built 😉 The workmanship is superb and everything functions well. It has been an honor to add these new Wacky Micro-Magic items to my collection. Will definitely look forward to more from this builder…thanks, Chance!

The Wonders of Egypt – Warner Style

This boxed collection is a fantastic follow-up to the Millennium Collection released for the year 2000. This time the occasion is the celebration of Alan’s 70th birthday. This is definitely his most involved project and most expensive release to date, but what a final product! The craftsmanship is, as usual, impeccable. Alan really outdid himself with conveying an Egyptian theme to the entire Collection. The box itself is gorgeous, especially with what he did with the Horus Falcon on the lid. You can tell he spent a great deal on time on every single piece in that collection.

What can I say that hasn’t been said or will be said

Note: Due to the high demand of this product there may be a waiting period…this says it quite well and there hasn’t been any broad media advertisement from Dean to date that I am aware. I was speechless when I finally received my Dean’s Triangle. I told someone who asked me about this item, "if I had to sell my collection and keep only a few pieces, Dean’s Triangle would be a keeper".

It’s that good (or great!), but, then, there is Doug Malloy manufacturing the Triangle table, Joe Porper supplying the leather storage case, Jamie Schoolcraft machining the beautiful special gaffs, and, of course, Dean Dill putting all this together into, simply, an amazing magical masterpiece. The quality of the props is undescribeable…you just have to see it in person to appreciate it. The routine is bewildering and not that difficult to master. I have never been this enthusiastic about coin magic, other than U3F.

This is the first Dean effect I have ever owned and what a beginning…I will clearly be watching all his future releases, not to mention, re-evaluate his current stuff.
