4 blocks are placed into a small box in any order, and there is literally no way to peek inside. Then this locked small box is placed into a larger locked box, secured with rubber bands, and covered with a piece of newspaper. The magician is able to divine the number without ever unlocking either box (really). This is a strong effect with a very clever method that I would have never guessed was possible.

A quick secret move occurs while the magician wraps the large box in newspaper. I prefer mentalism effects where the magician can take a “hands off” approach. The visual tell necessitates good lighting. I think if different colors or materials were chosen, the numbers could be divined a second or two quicker. This seems like a minor detail, but a few seconds separates the amateurs from the professionals.

You would not believe the work on these cards — way behind whatever you are thinking. It’s refreshing to see a monte effect that is strikingly different than what all the other magicians do.

A wonderful performance can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyodd1vBbu8&feature=youtu.be

This is a Lubor Fiedler creation that was sold by Supreme and later imported by Howie Schwarzman. You put a stack of cards on top of a plastic disc which is resting on your thumb. As you slowly spin the disc, every card visually melts through to the other side and is still attached to your thumb. It’s not suitable for closeup; more suited to the parlor room. It’s very… very clever.

I carry this everywhere and will never sell it. I saw Andy perform this online and started hunting for it immediately. It combines three principles and the spectators never see the ending coming. There was a lot of drama on magiccafe about ID cards not fitting, however mine fit fine. There are also pockets in the back where you can store your larger cards or spending money. Paul Wilson and Joe Porper should be incredibly proud.

One of my favorite items by Clarence Miller with (2) magical moments. A pencil is pushed through the center holes of a wooden box. (1) Cards are stacked on top, and when the pencil is removed, every card falls except for the selection. (2) Then with a wave of the pencil, the magician can decide the exact second the selection falls and joins the other cards. No card is forced, and everything is freely examined before & after. Both the woodworking and effect are beautiful.
