Here is a breathtaking beauty from the Master Wood Turner Eric Hansen. If you’re a fan of the old Tenyo item The Eye of The Idol, you are going to love this version. It works using the same method, but it looks absolutely stunning, works perfectly and has even more range than the Tenyo version. It really looks like a miracle.

I rarely keep anything to myself these days, but when I received this bad boy, I thought that I should let is grace my shelves for a while. It is so good that it warrants a place in this coveted list of spectacular magic.

When a magic effect inspires you to just sit down and play with it trying to figure out the best routine you know you have something special, and this is one such piece. Really beautiful work Eric 🙂

These boxes are meticulously hand made in very limited numbers by Creator Joe Litvinchuk, the custom home builder from Pleasanton, California, using a rare Brazilian Rosewood. Joe became interested in magic at the age of nine, and after over 35 years in the construction industry decided to begin Phantom Magic c. 2010 where he created a fine line of high-end magic for the discerning Magic collector and Professional magician.

Each box is polished to bring out the rich, natural beauty of the Rosewood. They are really stunning to look and at about half the size of the Mystery Box. They are much more finely made with a very different mechanism to the Mystery Box which allows for a very convincing almost visual exchange.  From an engineering perspective these are streets ahead, but I’m not yet convinced I prefer the effect, need to spend time with this one to see.  Either way a beautiful box.

This version was the rarer and more expensive of the two versions released – the other one was made from Padauk which you can see in the advert on this page.  The box is incredibly smooth and flawless.

The end of an era … 🙁

I purchased this beautiful, perfect illusion ten years ago and it was then and continues to be in my mind the best, most dramatic and most convincing large scale magic effect I have ever handled. I had hoped to work up the energy to do a few more stage shows in 2020, but after not doing one for seven years I think it highly unlikely I’ll ever do a stage size show again. I’ll still do the close-up at Christmas for as long as I am able and people (namely friends, family and employees!) want to see me but I just don’t see me finding the time or the energy for a bigger scale show.

So I have decided to sell this bad boy and wanted to take some fresh photos before it leaves my home. I must say a tear formed in my eye as I was taking the photos. I still love this effect, but it is time. Enjoy these close-up photos of what I consider is the perfect illusion.
