Thomas has revamped his Treasure Chamber of the High Priests, and it is better than ever! The mechanism has been improved and the new look is gorgeous!

Performer displays a colorful and decorative chest with lid. The lid is removed to reveal a gold plate. This plate is slid out to reveal the inner chamber that contains two boxes mounted inside. One is red, the other green. A spectator places any small object (their ring, a signed coin, handwritten note, etc) into either the red or green box. It’s a free choice which one they select. Once this is done, the gold plate is placed back on along with the lid.

When the inner boxes are again uncovered, the box containing the borrowed object is found to be empty. The other box is opened, and the object is found to have mysteriously traveled from one box to the other! The spectator herself opens the boxes.

A clever effect and a beautiful piece for display.

Another beauty from Thomas Pohle! Lots of opportunities to amaze and amuse with this item. A simple routine allows you to show this ornate Chinese decorated tower with three drawers. The top one has a red ball filling it and the others are shown empty. With a wave the red ball in the top moves to the bottom drawer. Then after more byplay the red vanishes and appears in the middle drawer, but now it is black. You can use pretty much any little items that fit the box.

You could do a monte type effect where you ask the spectator to keep an eye on where the ball is. It is always under your control of course. You can make them win or lose!

Very clever and beautifully made by Thomas as always!

I love this puppy! So I’ve wanted one of these little guys for a while now and I recently picked up two (see the other one here). After a little bit of tweaking both work perfectly though they have a slightly different mechanism. But once set they work the same way as far as the spectator is concerned.

The spectator chooses a card (no force) and the cards are shuffled and they slowly deal cards one at a time in front of the dog. As they place the cards down suddenly the dog starts moving around towards the latest card placed down. The next card is turned over and it is their chosen card. You take the card away from the dog and he stops moving. The unit is all self contained and there are no remotes or other gimmicks – it is all triggered by the special card.

This is basically a really cute version of the Anverdi Surprise Box and the ladies love it!

This dog had had a little damage, but the effect works fine even if the dog has a little bit of a gimp with a damaged jaw – from a performance point of view it doesn’t make a lot of difference, but if you were a collector the other version I have is the better of the two.

Another beauty from Thomas’ 2015 line of magic the beautiful Dragon Coins of Li Fi Fi. The effect is simple: you show a small wooden box around and take the lid off to show three “dragon” coins. Whilst you turn your back the spectator is asked to remove one, two, or three coins from the box and place them in their closed hand. They then replace the lid. The lid is 100% opaque and there is no way you can see inside. You clearly show all sides of the box, and yet you are always able to tell what coins and how many they removed.

The mechanism is 100% mechanical but invisible to the spectator and works very smoothly – nothing is added or taken away and there are no external magnets or hidden switches to mess with. This will fit in very nicely with your other color divination boxes and uses a very different method to them all.

Another beauty from the sadly little known Thomas Pohle.

If you enjoy number predictions like Jack Hughes’ Figures of Foo, Number Logs, or Gerlitz’ Modern Math, then you’ll absolutely love this beautiful piece of imported micro magic. There’s an added twist to the second phase of the routine which would fool those “in the know”.
You display a small stand with a solid cover that has the number 933120 affixed to the front. The cover is removed to reveal six blocks with various numbers printed on all four sides. The blocks may be removed, mixed about and placed back in any order/orientation. You explain that the number on the cover is the actual number of possible combinations in which the blocks may be positioned. A spectator is told to rearrange the blocks as they wish. This is done while your back is turned. You then instruct them to use a calculator to add the rows of numbers formed. As they begin, you turn around and instantly write down a 7 digit number on a piece of paper. When they finally have their total, you show that your lightning calculation total is correct! Impressive, but the second phase is even better.

Show that the cover you removed earlier is solid and completely opaque. This time instruct the spectator to mix the blocks in any order while your back is turned, add the numbers formed to get a new total and then place the cover back over the blocks before you turn around. This is done. When you turn to face the spectator, you slowly call out a number one digit at a time (or all at once)…and once again you’re correct! This time having mentally divined the total. The apparatus is beautifully made. The black/yellow finish matches many other Pohle items. The gaff for the second phase is very clever and well concealed.

The amazing magic and craftsmanship of Thomas Pohle has long been unsung, and thanks to some initial exposure from Joe Long (whose description he let me use) I am trying to help Thomas become a household name in the USA and beyond. Thomas certainly deserves it after creating beautiful, clever magic for over thirty years!

A very rare piece of micro magic sold in Germany over 20 years ago beautifully crafted by Thomas Pohle, whose limited edition magic is now highly sought after.

Performer displays a colorful and decorative chest with lid. The lid is removed to reveal a gold plate which covers an interior chamber. This plate is slid out to reveal two boxes mounted inside. One is red, the other green.

A spectator places any small object (their ring, a signed coin, handwritten note, etc) into either the red or green box. It’s a free choice which one they select. Once this is done, the gold plate is placed back on along with the lid.

When the inner boxes are again uncovered, the box containing the borrowed object is found to be empty! The other box is opened, and the object is found to have mysteriously traveled from one box to the other! The spectator herself opens the
boxes!

Another unique item from German master craftsman Thomas Pohle. This appears to be the forerunner to the very rare Treasure Chamber of The High Priest as the effect is similar, but the apparatus is a completely different design.

A small open frame cabinet is shown which holds two hexagonal shaped boxes. One has a blue spot on the cover, the other yellow. With the performer’s back turned, a a spectator is told to place any small item in one of the boxes and remember which color box the object is in. The performer then slides the boxes back into the cabinet which is shown all around. Asking the spectator to concentrate on the chosen box, the performer names it. He then takes the experiment one step further and asks the spectator to open the chosen box. The box is found to be empty. When they open the other box, their personal item is now found inside … having transported from one box to the other.
