This is an overlooked miracle from Alan and I think it is because the props are a little plainer than some of Alan’s more intricate and colorful items. However, the method is clean and amazing and easy to perform. One minute the plain plaque is in the box the next minute it is replaced by one with Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols cut completely through it.

What I particularly like is that there are no moving parts and the gimmick is right there in plain sight all along. You could get two of these bad boys and do a transposition between them if you wanted. Reset takes a second and there are no flaps or magnets or other devices. I think you will really like this when you open it up.

This is a particularly striking Alan Warner effect which features a great little story, a magical revelation, an amusing joke, and ends with a perfect prediction.

This can’t be repeated because the color is always the same, however the choice is convincing enough, easy to do, and the routine itself is entertaining and the props are intriguing to look at which more than makes up for the lack of repetition. As part of an Egyptian themed routine this will be perfect.

Another unique and interesting effect from Alan. A lot goes on in a short time and everything appears clean and above board. The vanish of the drawing-pin is very unexpected and then to see the vanished card attached with the same drawing pin in the wooden tablet which has been in view all the time is a real surprise! If you are looking for something a little different you have found it!

The vanish of the drawing pin can be done under the cover of a hanky or not (both approaches are covered in the instructions) but I think it is best to leave the hanky out of the picture as there no heat on the drawing pin up front. So you can simply turn it over and let the magic happen with no covers. Alan also employs a very simple but effective count to show all five cards at the beginning – it is not really a move and takes just a few trials to have it down.
