16 Bottles Hanging on the Wall
You want to do the multiplying bottles, then do it with these babies!
Joe Stevens knows a thing or two, and when he says these are the best bottles around, believe me they are! Very realistic and how could you ask for more than 16?
Sadly these bottles have been unavailable for years, however there are some great ones available today.

The Best Hank Box!
Wow what a beauty this is. Not only does it look great it is very solidly made and the dual flap mechanisms are very precise and work cleanly every time. There is also a load chamber in the tray base too.
This is by far the best engineered and best looking Hank box I have seen. It is a shame that I have not been able to get more Abe Creekmore magic as he clearly was one of the great builders in magic.
If you can track down this item grab it!
Highly Recommended!

Clever box with unique peek mechanism, but a bit pricey!
So Michael Baker makes some great magic and this item is no exception. However, I do think it is a bit pricey for what it is. I guess it was just a small run of them and that is where the price came from.
The box allows you to very cleanly divine what card has been placed into it. There is actually a clever idea that allows you to divine the card even when it is placed in the middle of a deck and the deck itself is placed in the box.
I have not seen another item quite like this, but I believe it is very similar to an old Thayer effect called Mento Mystery. If you just want to work with a deck of cards this is perfect, but if you wanted something a bit more versatile I’d probably spring for the Mikame X-Ray Box.

One of Joe’s Winners!
So Joe Porper has produced some amazing magic. Unfortunately, he has also produced some pretty bad items too – however this is not one of them. Like many of Joe’s items it is a bit pricey, but the gimmick is incredibly well made and works without a sound.
I wasn’t sure how much I would like this one, but having played with it for a bit I do really like it! The gimmick allows you to bend a signed quarter right there in front of their noses with some logical patter about "Folding and Non-Folding Money".
Great job Joe!
Highly Recommended for Coin benders everywhere!

Typical Clever Kennedy Thinking!
John Kennedy has created some very clever pieces of magic – my favorites include: The Mystery Box (of course), Flight Deck, Card Thru Window, Mind Power Deck, and Super Coin. This item is now one of my new favorites – the props seem pretty normal but when you seen the explanation, you’re thinking – "Wow John has done it again!"
As with most of his items he has thoroughly thought through the process and made everything as simple as possible to perform. With this outfit there is no force, the card can be signed, and it can be given away at the end. The knife is also free to be examined and it is not switched either.
A very simple but effective approach to perform this old classic in a close-up situation.
Highly Recommended!

Beautiful AND Amazing!
I think that Dave Powell does not get enough praise for some of his amazing wood creations. This box is beautiful to look at and works flawlessly. The method is not new but the box hides the gimmick so well and it is so clean that you just can’t help but love it. His work is right up there with Mel Babcock, although his prices are a bit higher.

Beautiful and Charming Card Magic
What a wonderfully charming piece of card magic this is. The cards look amazing, the routine is clear and fairly easy to perform and you end up with the great surprise moment that is sure to delight the ladies!
The cards change from black and white caterpillars, to full color butterflies and finally one of the butterflies leaves the card and ends up stuck on the back of the spectator’s hand.
As with all of Card-Shark items the cards really do look authentic.
Nice job!

The Best Looking Bottles Available Today
So I often get asked which set of Multiplying Bottles are the best and for me it is clear that these are easily the best ones available today. They are even nicer than the Harries ones, and they were the best set until recently. These ones just look more real and classic.
The only issue I have had with these bottles is finding a set of glasses that fit under the bottles – they do not come with ones and it is smaller than you would imagine under there.
In other good news, the classic Ken Brooke routine is available again from here.
All in all good news for magical entertainers everywhere!

The Witch’s Tunnel
This is a fantastic effect! You show a tube that has two slits going half way up its sides and is topped with a slotted wooden lid. Slide this tube down over a clear Plexiglas tube which rests on a base and has holes through its sides. Thread a metal rod or needle through both tubes and drop a solid ring through the slotted lid. (Or you may have the spectator do this) When the outer tub is raised off, the ring has magically penetrated into the rod. Everything can be thoroughly examined both before and after the effect is performed. The spectators will find nothing! I examined the props before reading the instructions and could not figure out the method. Very Diabolical! This item is very hard to come by so if you should fine it, get it. *The instructions were all in German with the one I got so I had to translate them into English.

Beautiful piece, but not very functional
Mikame Craft is known for beautiful magic apparatus and Mr. Mikame does not disappoint with this hand-made mirror cabinet. However, due to the hand-made nature of this prop, it is not always functional. I have had the opportunity to "play" with three different cabinets and each one seems to have its own minor problems. On one of them, the inside mirrors did not properly align, so their was the tendency for one side or the other to prematurely spring open. On another cabinet, the hole on the top for the sword appeared to have been drilled too large, so the sword moved around too much…once again causing the mirrors to spring back too soon. The third cabinet had no problem with the mirrors, but the front doors did not properly align and the hinges on one side left about a 1/16" gap in the door because it would not fully close. Again, this is a very beautiful prop for a shelf or desk–and occasional use. But for regular use in performances, this prop is probably not the best option…especially given the very high price.
