    Good old Nick de Palma! This is my third copy of this actual effect from Nick, and it works perfectly. It looks great and is smoother in operation than even the Magic Wagon version.

    This is the earliest release created by Nick. It uses copper tubes (instead of the later brass ones) and the box and lock is a little less ornate. However, it really works perfectly and I would choose this over the Magic Wagon version – because the gimmick for the Magic Wagon version was a little strong.  This works cleanly and beautifully.  The reason that Nick’s version was named “Improved” was because of the reappearance of the steel ball.  In the original versions of this effect you had to do a small move but with this one it is 100% automatic and clean.

    This is still one of my favorite close-up effects and I look forward to doing a clean Speed Demo soon.  This version is so easy and clean to perform you can get up real close and still see nothing.
