Year: 2013

What a beautifully made piece of magic and an extremely clever method from Dave Pavlov.  This is actually the penetration of not one but TWO mirrors – one on each side.

This really is as close to real magic as you are likely to get.  To do this justice you do need to spend ten minutes practicing in a mirror to get the moves smooth – they are not difficult. And I banged out the Speed Demo this morning without issue and any previous practice, so you know you can do it 🙂

There is a larger version (17″) of this mirror which is quite a lot harder to handle due to the size, so if you have a choice you definitely want this 12″ version.

An Amazing Looking Prop!

Wow this is a beautiful looking Hour Glass that looks amazing and is very solidly built. The method is practical, if a little saucy, and easy to do. It creates the perfect illusion of the classic bill to impossible location.

The props are very appealing too and everything looks above board. This is magic you can quickly fall in love with.

I’ll be adding this to my next Parlor show if I can find the room for it.

The trick comes with a well produced booklet and DVD too. Plus a solid carrying case and all the props you need.

The Best Hippity Hop Rabbits

It is great to see Chance Wolf continuing to produce amazing magic after ten years. Chance produces very high quality magic that is both performable and collectable.

This little darling has to be the best version of Hippity Hop Rabbits (or Hares) ever. Better than the Collector’s Workshop version or the many others I have seen.

And finally he’s made the covers have a reason for living – they are now rabbit hutches. Everything about this effect is superb and mechanism works perfectly.

This is the one to get for sure.

Highly Recommended!

The Dragon Has Landed!

So perhaps my favorite impossible illusion from my good friend Alan Warner is the Siamese Ribbon. It was the first item I ever purchased from Alan some 36 years ago and still amazes me to this day.

It looks like a miracle. You cut the ribbon cleanly in front of the spectator – in fact the spectator can cut it if you want; they can clearly see the two pieces both inside and outside of the box. You then close the front door and at all times can see the ribbon dangling from either side of the box. You pull the ribbon from one side of the box, and the ribbon at the opposite goes in and out comes a single ribbon again. The box can then be opened and it is also empty. It is an amazing effect to see and yet it is simplicity itself to perform. Truly a cut and pull miracle with no funny business and nothing is added or taken away.

For a few years I have been asking Alan to create a new version in teak and when I was visiting him and his talented wife Mignon at his home last week he totally floored me by presenting me with this first completed version of his latest release. It is an amazing beauty and proves that Alan continues to shine even after all these years of creating mini-magic miracles. If you don’t have any other Warner items then this would be the one to get. If you are already a collector then there is no way you can pass this up.

A true miracle. Highly Recommended for everyone who appreciates fine miracles that they can actually perform.

Welcome back to an old Favorite!

This was the first item I ever purchased directly from Alan Warner about 35 years ago. I used to perform it all the time, but sold it along with the rest of my Warner collection shortly after the dot.com crash.

I was pleased to pick up a mint version just before Christmas and am happy to have it back in the collection (which seems to be growing again after my recent sell off!). It is a a very clean restoration that always amazes them.

Alan has created some truly clever and beautiful magic over the last 40+ years and this early painted miracle still is hard to beat. It is a real beauty – maybe it is time for Alan to create one in teak?

Highly Recommended for collectors and close-up performers everywhere!

Automatic and Beautiful

So here we have another amazing beauty from the Magic Wagon team. It is an electronic marvel and the magician can tell which picture is placed in the box, even if they are out of the room, and they never need to touch or see the box.

The box looks great and clean and so do the pictures – which can be exchanged for different pictures of the performers choosing. It all works by remote control of course. The receiver has both visual and vibration mode and works every time without fail.

I really only have one problem with this chest – the five pictures do not all fit in the box at once. That would have made a lot more sense, you turn up with the chest remove the five pictures, and then they put one back inside and you determine which one.

But that issue aside if you want amazingly easy to perform miracles that look beautiful then The Sorcerer’s Chest will find a wonderful place in your heart and home.

Great Utility Item

This is a great value set of dice that can be used for forcing, gambling demonstrations, and mentalism.

In total you get 34 dice (15 different pairs of forcing dice and 4 normal dice). It even comes with some ideas and a great "Just Chance" effect. Useful to have in your bag for sure.
