The Best Version of Box Office!

So my favorite effect by T.A. Waters is Box Office. There are plenty of versions of the trick around, and I’ve even made up a couple myself. This is one of the few that actually had permission from T.A. Waters to produce it. It is Tabman’s Chest of Destiny and it is the best version I have seen of this effect.

The box looks like a real antique aged box with cracks and all. It is the perfect height and size for the effect and everything works precisely as it should. The spectator gets to choose any one of the five casted relics and when the tray is lifted there is just one prediction, and it matches the choice of the spectator.

Lots of magic passes through my collection, but this one will be a keeper, it is a perfect miracle with props that look real and make sense!

Beautiful in its execution.

Wow, talk about an amazing utility device. This is by far my favorite card find of the decade. A bit like when you first come across a card box or a himber wallet, you start thinking of all these wonderful ideas.

I use Extractor for the cleanest signed card to wallet and I have never felt comfortable doing this before. It is lightning fast and defies explanation. I close my walk around performance with it now, and I’m immediately ready to go again.

Rob Bromley truly is a genius with cards.

You will find plenty of uses for this – buy two because these are made up by hand and who knows when they will stop making them. And how will you ever fool them again without the amazing Extractor?

Highly Recommended for all magicians who want to amaze their audience!

Wow! This is Amazing!

One of Stephen Tucker’s favorite effects is Omega – and now I know why: it is amazing! I have some of the other effects that are similar to Omega – (B’Wave, Twisted Sisters, Duplicity) and although Omega requires a sleight, it is so well covered and blended into the routine that it is easy to do. The effect is so much cleaner than the others and the cards can all be examined at the end. Reset is a snap too.

What I really like about Omega is that the effect is the same every time you perform it and they always get the ace they choose, no matter what ace is selected.

Highly Recommended for Close-up and Table Hopping magicians everywhere!

Stephen has a new DVD out on this effect and it is well worth the price – I really love this effect!

Beautiful and Different Bottles

Wow what a beautiful and unique set of multiplying bottles! These are amazing bottles and I’m glad I managed to track down a set. Reg Donnelly only makes a limited number each year, so grab them when you can.

The set also comes a DVD featuring two different performances by Reg Donnelly and Paul Romhany and this makes it the perfect package. I still like my other Martini ones, but must say it is hard to beat these bad boys.

Highly Recommended!

More Knife Magic from Joe Mogar!

It’s hard to stop buying Joe’s Knives! Each set of his knives is a pleasure to hold and these multi-colored wood and natural bone ones are no exception. Maybe my favorite in fact. These are tricky to make and no two knives are exactly the same. Master Craftsman Joe Mogar does a great job in matching them up and although you might see slight differences when placed side by side, you’ll never notice that in performance.

Joe’s knives are perfect to perform and collect. They are unique, beautiful, small and great value!
