Andy Martin –
What a wonderful item from Anthony Yap’s Retro Rocketeers all the way down under in Australia 🙂 If you’ve been looking for one of Magic Wagon’s Mini Phantom’s from 2013 but have been unable to find one at any price, then this is your closest alternative. Anthony does a great good job blending 3D printed items with real wood (in this case Jarrah Eucalyptus). Although, in my opinion, you’ll never truly compete with fine hard woods and brass, Casino Phantom comes close enough for all but the real die-hard fans 🙂
This item comes with two sets of chips: wooden chips and standard poker chips. I personally found the standard poker chips the better choice for real performances – they contrast better and look more familiar. However, having both choices is a wonderful touch and the wooden chips do allow you to perform a quicker version of the same effect with chips due to their thickness.
For someone who spends way too many hours researching the history of magic props, I’m pleased to see Anthony has taken the time to give a detailed and accurate historic account of this effect on his website and video introduction. Of course this item primarily began with Erhard Liebenow’s Chip Lift.
Retro Rocketeers have a growing product-line that is sure to interest many of you looking for your cool magic fix so I would check them out when you have a spare moment.
