Hi, Although I am 71 years old I only started doing magic last year, so it is great to find you. Look forward to checking your site out in future.

Review by Andy Martin for Mini Cyclops Box by Martin Breese, Magic Wagon
This is the re-released version of Martin Breese’s Cyclops Box in a smaller size built to perfection by the Magic Wagon team. The one thing that Magic Wagon can be relied upon is if you give them a project to build they will always create a mechanically perfect version of your vision.
There is no doubt the Mini Cyclops Box is an improvement on Martin’s original box. You can now control when the mechanism is used which means the box can easily be given to the spectator to handle and hold. The mechanism is very clean and you will love how this version works.
This is a beautiful box that rarely comes up for sale and it is a great utility item that you’ll find lots of uses for and love to play with it 🙂

Review by Jon Wilson for The Butterfly Box by Okito-Williams
I have never seen this performed before tonight. Andy – I thought your performance [and not so quick,] was great actually. I was just speaking to a another collector of magic the other night that has this trick and I have heard of it a bit before, but never seen it performed. I actually think your timing is awesome to give the trick a little bit more showmanship than you think. I thought the performance you gave was better than the first video, to tell you the truth. Wow! What a great trick!
From Andy Martin: Thanks so much Jon – glad you liked it. I really tried to do justice to this great piece, adding the music and even putting on my Tux for the first time in ten years 🙂

Review by Andy Martin for Switch Board by Martin Andersen, IDEAA Lab
This is easily the most advanced switch board available in terms of production, quality, extensibility, and function. There is no doubt that Martin Andersen and the IDEAA Lab have done an amazing job and put their heart and soul into this project.
All the reviews I have seen about this rave about it and it really does deliver and then some. It is a great product and would look right at home with products released by Apple.
However, as a collector and performer I can’t help wishing for something a little simpler like the original Illumin-Ace by Paul Bernhardt or Wellington’s beautiful Mini Magic Switchboard, or even the more recent Chips by Paul Picha. The real problem when you create an effect that is clearly a modern electronic item is that most spectators have already seen lots of amazing and magical things with iPhones and Smart devices of all kinds, so the bar is set really high when it comes to creating real magic. It doesn’t mean it can’t entertain, for sure it can, but to really convince the spectators you are performing magic (or at least doing something more than anyone else could with the same device) just takes a little more effort.
