So this is a clever and versatile utility device from the good guys at Magic Wagon and this one is a little different. The routine comes with five different ideas from John M. Talbot and I’m sure you’ll enjoy his Ghost Catcher routine call “Proof!” The box comes with brass bolts, dice, and jars to get you started too. I think you could make this a feature of your act if you were prepared to spend just a little time with it.

What a rare find from the master inventor himself, Nick Ruggiero, and Rich Bloch – the original founders of Collectors’ Workshop and creators of some of the most amazing mechanical props ever. After they sold Collectors’ Workshop to George Robinson, Nick and Rich came back for a few years with some wonderful pieces under the Signature Pieces line. There were less than ten of these bad boys created about ten years ago so you’ll be real hard pressed to find or see another.
The basic effect is as follows: A stack of six half dollars are placed under a hollowed-out weight on the right hand pan of a balance scale. Another empty hollowed-out weight is placed on the left hand pan. The magician makes a magical pass and the scale slightly tilts to the left. Magician lifts the right hand weight and there are only five coins left. He raises the left hand weight and one coin is seen to have traveled to the left. Replacing the weights over the coins he makes another gesture and the scale tips further to the left. The right hand weight is lifted and the coins are gone. He lifts the left hand weight and now all six coins are seen to have migrated to the left hand scale. Both weights are now handed out for examination.
It comes with five pages of original instructions and although you have to read them carefully the effect as stated is doable after a few tries. Since this is a brass item there is a little bit of tarnishing, but nothing that detracts from the beauty or working of this effect either as a center piece to your collection or as in a formal close-up performance. And if you want to start buffing you could certainly do that too.
A rare treasure that will look wonderful in your collection.

As you many of you know I’m a big fan and close friend of Alan Warner (in fact not only have I created two websites for Alan, my wife created one for his talented wife Mignon too) and the first item I ever purchased from Alan when I was 14 years of age was Siamese Ribbon. At first glance this item looks very similar to Siamese Ribbon. But once you see the workings you will realize the method is different and the box is created in such a way that it can be viewed from any angle – even behind – at all times.
This may not be more collectible than Alan’s beautiful piece, but is more practical for sure. Very easy to perform and the set-up even comes with a simple gimmick to ensure you cut the ribbon so that it is the perfect length for this mini illusion. Kent also includes 21 feet of ribbon and a pair of matching scissors. Ready to perform the second you receive it.
A real beauty Kent!

Things have been crazy here, but I am finding time to slowly start adding some new magic.
So I was looking forward to these two new pieces from Kent and his 3D Magic Works line of amazing 3D creations and finally cracked them open tonight, though they have been sitting on a shelf for almost three months. What a unique, easy to do and clever item this is. The name of course comes from the Milson-Worth Astro Ball and this is just a delight to play with, and much easier than the larger version with a 100% different method and effect in fact.
With this bad boy not only does the little ball jump into the goblet, but it jumps back too mimicking what you do with the cup and ball outside. Just a wonderful, and automatic in working item.
Great job Kent and Méo.

Matthias “Magiro” Weißl invented this effect, likely in late 70s, and named it “Mikro Ringautomat.” Upon first importing it in 1984, Howard Schwarzman renamed the effect to “The Witch’s Tunnel” — presumably for the catchier title but perhaps also to hide his source. Magiro’s effect has been remade by both Magic Wagon as “Ring thru Sword Mystery,” and the legendary Richard Gerlitz as “Sea-Ling’s True Love.” Magiro made the gimmick itself, which has magnetic, wood, and steel components. However this gimmick is housed within plastic, which was manufactured by Werner “Werry” Geissler — yet another underrated German inventor.
The gimmick is simple but brilliant. It appears and vanishes in the blink of an eye. The working is entirely mechanical and foolproof. You must ditch something to end clean, but the misdirection is so strong that this should not be a problem. And then everything can be examined, the base, cover, pin, and ring. One of Magiro’s finest inventions, and well worth the hype.

What can I say about this beauty? One of my all time favorite effects in magic is The Wandering Mummy and apart from the Eddy Taytelbaum version, which one day I will pony up the cash for, I’ve owned a lot of them. This version is perhaps the cleanest version I have seen. It is certainly different from all the other versions and I even ordered two sets so that I could keep a set, which is pretty rare for me these days.
Really excellent version of this classic effect, created the way only Magic Wagon know how – with excellence and perfection. Good luck finding one of these as they are coveted by collectors for sure.

So I’ve wanted one of these bad boys for probably twenty years and finally my good friend George Robinson has created the definitive version. It looks like a high end mantle clock and works perfectly. Within seconds any time of day (including minutes) can appear on the clock from many feet away. The mechanism is 100% reliable and you will just love playing with this.
There is nothing quite like the original and the amazing Gift of Time – get one before production ends!

Here we have another beauty from Craig Beytien. This time a clever piece of mentalism that that has been reduced in size from the original version to make it easier to carry and perform – this is the only 2″ block version set produced. The method is very reliable and is easy to manage using custom circuit boards that were professionally produced and work every time.
Two sets of five blocks on brass rod spindles are displayed. A spectator is asked to place each block into the holder in any sequence, and the magician can match. The blocks are returned to the spindle and again the magician matches the spectator’s sequence. Finally, the magician tells the spectator that he/she has the power too and places his blocks before the spectator does. The spectator matches the magician. Comes with block, holders, spindles, full routine in an aluminum carrying case.

Kent Bergmann is back with his amazing new line of magic: 3D Magic Works and the very positive reviews are flowing in.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now 🙂 As I post these last four marvels from my first batch I continue to be very impressed with Kent’s whole line of 3D Magic and I will continue to purchase every item he produces. This one has been created many times and is a solid paddle effect that matches the other Paddles in the 3D line.

This is a clever use of the paddle move to produce a unique Monte effect. The routine starts off normal enough where you try to find the red dot among the other blues. Then after a few tries the red dot changes to a green dot and finally the magician admits there was no way they could win, because all of the dots are now blue. Great little routine with paddles the growing number of paddles in the 3D Magic line.
