5 out of 5
I own it ..in my private collection
Again, anything manufactured by Viking is of high quality. This is one of their finsest quality workmanship; may be examined! Complete with cards, walnut houlette and ribbon. There is absolutely no way anyone can discover the gimick on this one! If you like close-up with cards then you need to buy this item since its provides a mystifying ambiance to the card routine! Highly recommended and a good investment. By Rasputin

CREATIVE THINKING UPDATES A CLASSIC!
I’ve just received Craig’s latest "Improved" 21st Century Rattle Box and I must confess it is even better than I thought it was going to be!
It’s just the right size for vanishing a coin. It doesn’t look at all suspicious thanks to the almost square shape and relatively thin bottom (when compared to every other rattle box on the market).
The rattle mechanism locks and releases with ease.
The craftsmanship is superb and the price very reasonable.
All in all I’m anxiously awaiting other creations from Atlantis Magic.

Effect Description
Color Effect is an item I have sold regularly for some time now and is a very strong mental effect with a magical twist finish. Briefly, a color is privately selected by a spectator (form 8 different colors) by placing his thumb on the card and fixing the color in his mind (this can be done with the performer out of the room). The performer attempts to "read" the spectator to determine his selection. He eliminates several of the colors but fails to find the selected color. The spectator is invited to turn over the remainder of the cards that he did not select leaving his selection on the table. When he turns over this final card a thumbrint has magically appeared on the reverse side of the card. Other presentations are possible and I have receive nothing but positive responses from purchasers. The effect is complete with cards, thumbrint, and instructions. There is no fishing, no peeks, and no markings, yet you are 100% correct everytime.

A Rattle Box You Will Use
I just received Craig Brooks’ new "21st Century Rattle Box," and I am so impressed by it on so many levels. First, its a beautiful box made of gorgeous hardwoods…it looks like a box you would buy at an Art Fair. Beautiful yet innocent looking…definitely not "gimmicky" in any way whatsoever.
The size is perfect. It’s very small. Not the old "big box" design of the past. Craig really thought this size issue through when he designed this.
Finally, the rattle mechanism is completely unique…this is another new design feature that Craig came up with for acheiving the rattle sound. And it resets instantly.
This is a Rattle Box that you will actually use in performance. This really is the 21st Century rattle box!
A very nice, logical six card repeat routine with funny patter and extremely well made cards. It comes with 19? custom designed cards to help you tell the story of your Vegas visit. The cards are extra thin, yet durable to allow the whole packet to fit in your wallet. The designs are amazing and have to be seen up close to be appreciated. A lot of work went in to them. It also comes with a very nicely produced DVD featuring Josh Jay performing and fully explaining the routine, patter and buckle count. He even fully credits the origins of the routine.

I own one!
Even though this effect is not particularly spectacular, I personally love it since the craftsmanship, appearance and style is quite beautiful. Now a days its almost impossible to get one from Wilson, yet the one I own is equally the same in quality and much more. I tried extemsively researching to find one and the only person in the US who builds them and have them is Mr. Goodman from Texas. His price is extremely reasonable, fast shipping and custom made.

My New Favorite!
Wow! This is my new favorite Francois Danis piece! The craftsmanship of each piece… and the boxed presentation is stunning. The written patter is masterful… and very well thought out. I am most impressed with what Mr. Danis keeps creating. Keep ’em coming, Francois!

Another beauty!
Francois Danis has done it again with this beauty! I love how he is "boxing" each of his new effects. Very classy, indeed! He takes time on each piece… and his perfectionism shows on this effect.
This is nice made item. But I personally do not like the method, is not easy to do. And this is close up item, but extremely dangerous if you have people sorounding you, and you have to sit do this effect.
