Surprise follows surprise in this Warner Miracle!
Great props and comedic routine make this a real winner from Alan Warner. With a clever gimmick he has removed all sleight of hand so that you can focus on the fun.
The number of dice keeps changing with the black die returning to get in the way. So it is repeatedly removed, until in end a large die filling the box is produced.

One of Hen’s Best!
With all the excitement surrounding the new book Fetsching Magic about the incredible magic of Hen Fetsch, I’m quite sure we will be seeing more of his magic getting picked up. Although we alll know about Mental Epic, this rope routine has to be seen to be believed it is so much more than Professor’s Nightmare!
The ropes are made really well too – soft and strong and the gimmick is very well hidden.
If you wanted to do one rope routine, this would be the one!

Amazing Quality, Simple and Effective Magic!
So this new line of high quality collectables from the The Magic Wagon is really quite amazing. The quality of the manufacture is as good as anything I have seen from any dealer. In fact unlike most magic manufacturers it would not surprise me if the the craftsmen making these boxes are professional furniture and cabinet makers, as opposed to "guys good with wood."
The new line has a very distinctive look and I think you can expect more great items from these guys in the near future.
This effect uses a simple method but the routine is built up into something quite special. You are able to predict the totals on 2 and 3 ungimmicked and shaken dice, even without touching or even seeing them or the box in the final phases.
The instructions are clear and everything I have received from this company has been delivered and packaged very well.

Amazing Quality, Great Magic!
More real furniture quality magic from those fast and efficient guys over at the Magic Wagon. The finish out on these props is just breathtaking – the inlay work is marvellous and everything is trimmed with this fine velvety material – it just looks very classy.
The new line has a very distinctive look and I think you can expect more great items from these guys in the near future.
Not only is this card box amazing to look at but the effect is rather unique. In a nutshell you show the box with the ribbon around it securely trapping a single card (or cards) that can be seen at all times through the glass. A spectator is given a normal deck of cards to shuffle and a card freely selected. When the card is removed from the card box it is seen to match perfectly. The card can be different every time and it is all examinable if required.
The instructions are clear and everything I have received from this company has been delivered and packaged very well.

Breathtaking Quality!
Ok so it is clear by now that the Magic Wagon guys are serious about quality props. This is probably the single finest piece of magic woodwork I have ever seen. It is that good! The finish, the lines, the inlay, the velvety lining, the snugness and fine tolerances of the whole unit is just breathtaking!
Everything about this screams high end quality. The effect might be as old as the hills and you grandmother may well guess the method, but to lay people the effect is stunning.
And for Collector’s what a huge treat you are in for, you will not be able to find a finer piece of "furniture" to fill your magic den with and each of the pieces in this line are just so much better than amost anything being produced today.
The instructions are clear and everything I have received from this company has been delivered and packaged very well.

Outstanding!
I’ve had my board a few years now and it always produces a nice reaction. I don’t use it for every show but its nice to have when I need it and when I perform a repeat show and need something different.

Excellent Comedy with Prediciton
I use the close up version of the Comedy Card Babies at restaurants and clubs. I get a great response every time I use this! Great job Dave Devin! Dean Dill’s endorsement of "You’ve got a winner" says it all!
Review by George Guerra for ABC Blocks (Mini) by Mel Babcock
5 out of 5
Great Mini-magic, Babcock style
It just great that Mel offers some of his magic in various sizes to please one’s taste. Since my interest in the mini-magic of Alan Warner began, I have looked at other builders for these little cuties. I have been fortunate to get three from Mel in mini size with the Mini ABC Blocks being a real treat. Using exotic woods, combined with a reputation for both wood and metal working skills, Mel sure delivers and he, particularly, did a flawless job on all my mini sized pieces.
Mel used a highly grained and beautiful Bocote wood on my ABC Blocks and the workmanship is superb. If you get his "Ultimate ABC", as I did, you also get the matching open box to have the middle block visibly and instantly reappear to complete the routine. The appearance of that "B" block is startling to see. The effect is a classic and you have a choice from his "Giant" with 4 inch blocks to the "Mini" with the 1 1/4 inch blocks…Most Highly Recommended!
Review by George Guerra for Hong Kong Paddle by Willi Wessel

Schwarzman’s paddle treat…a lucky find!
I love paddles and this one is a prized one. Beautifully crafted and imported by Howard Schwarzman in the late 1980’s (instruction copyright is dated 1988). The seller told me that Howard had informed him only a half dozen were sold, so it seems it is also quite rare. The Oriental diamond design on the lid of the box is actually two wood veneer overlays. This is an all wood construction, including the chips and finished with a smooth clear coating. Superb craftsmanship throughout, for an import!
The effect has a lengthy Chinese gambling theme. Single colored chips double magically, and then change into various colors. Money doubles and a decorative writing grandly appears on the paddle to end the routine. The paddle measures 4 3/4 inches by 1 1/4 inch. The decorative box housing the entire set measures 5 3/4 inches by 2 inches.
Overall, this is truly a gorgeous paddle that is a treasure in my collection. Don’t recall how much I paid for it, but after seeing it, I would have gladly had paid much more.

STar Trick
As usual this is ver clever original magic from Mentalism Unlimited. The poster is very well done on heavy paper so it will last a long time. The force is very clever and is done right in front of your spectator. The reveal of the chosen star is great and everything is clean at the end.
