I love this gimmick! The video is very clear before you buy so you know precisely what you are getting and when it arrives it is a quality item and everything you were hoping for. Zero disappointment – which is rare in magic these days! Plenty of clear and detailed material on the online instructions too. Really great product, packaging and routines for the money – easily well worth it.

After many years of trying various prediction boxes and chests I have finally found the perfect one. This marvel from craftsman Tim Star is not only beautiful to look at, it works every time in the Spectator’s hands without any coaching.

If you’re over 45 or want to use a blindfold this is the marked deck for you! I really love these cards and the routine Henry has put together is perfect! Now whether you will have the balls to use them close-up is up to you, but I think the way Henry performs the routine their are no issues.

These are made in Asian Mahogany, and when I first received this from my good friend George Robinson I don’t think I fully appreciated how cool it was. Contrary to what some are saying on the internet, these are made perfectly in George’s shop, but sadly this version has also been copied over the years by others both in India and Sri Lanka. The finish on the copies is not as shiny or as smooth and if you think you are getting the same thing from elsewhere for less think again, it is not the same and I’ll stick with the original version built here in the USA by George Robinson and his team.

When I received from George I remember thinking it was just a “fancy ball vase”! Well it is way more!

Great Job George!

_EF The basic routine is:

• You show the Vase
• Remove the lid and show the orange which you then remove
• This orange multiplies into two oranges
• And then an orange silk appears
• You place the orange back in the vase and replace the lid
• And when you lift the lid the orange has vanished too!

A really great routine which is surprisingly easy to do. Everything works beautifully and it looks amazing.

So how do you improve upon an already perfect mini-illusion? You make it in a Limited Edition out of select hardwoods (in this case Walnut, Cherry and Maple) and you sit back and appreciate the quality in your hands! This is easily my favorite item from Craig Beytien and his wonderful Illusion Arts Magic! The transposition between the two stands is so fast and effortless, you can’t help but step back in amazement!

It is quick to reset and from a short distance there is nothing to see. It is like a really slick, mini-version of the Substitution Trunk effect without the intense practice – the transposition happens in an instant.

The standard version of this item is here and can be purchased from my friends Joe & Mark at Stevens Magic!

Wow! Dean’s real Miracle!

This is truly a miracle effect from Dean Dill. Not only is the effect in the miracle class, but the props are too!

When you drop down this sort of cash for a trick it better be really, really good – but sadly it often is not. In this case however, you easily get your money’s worth. The table is beautiful and unique, the coins are flawless, and even the travel case is perfect.

The routine has been painstakingly thought through and the performance DVD by Dean himself takes you through all the steps. If only more manufacturers would follow through with this much attention to detail, we’d have a lot more great magic, and a lot less trash filling our shelves.

This effect is not self working, but it is certainly not difficult either, and when you spend this much on an item it is certainly worth spending a bit of time getting used to the routine. Once you have mastered the moves you will blow them away every time.

Thanks Dean for making perfect magic – you have set the bar very high for magic, for value, for quality, and for entertainment.

Most Highly Recommended!

One of Richard’s most intricate, but also amazing, creations.  As I find myself adding a few select effects to my collection that I missed the first time around it is hard to ignore this amazing beauty from the master engineer and designer himself: Richard Gerlitz.  The first time you set this up you have to take it slowly and read the instructions two or three times.  It almost seems impossible that this could work so smoothly, but once you have set it up and run through the sequence everything happens as it should and you are left with one damn fine illusion!  Once you have set it the first time it gets much easier and with practice you could do it in five minutes or less.  If you break this item down there are three main magical moments:

• You begin by showing three ornately decorated blocks from all sides and clearly show that the ribbon goes through all three.  You can pull the ribbon from end to end or in between each block.  There is no doubt that a single ribbon goes through all the blocks.  And there are no funny moves either.
• You then separate the blocks and cleanly cut the ribbon attached to the center block.  Again the ribbon is most certainly cut in two places.  This block is placed on top of the other two and every one can see the ribbon sticking out of the top block and the bottom two.
• You snap your fingers and the ribbon in the top box vanishes (effect #1).
• You then pull the ribbon from the left hand side and the 100% severed ribbon from the right hand side travels too (effect #2).
• Finally, you pull the ribbon all the way out from the left and you again clearly have one long single ribbon (effect #3).
• The blocks are clean there is nothing added or taken away and you really have performed a miracle!

I can’t stress enough the first time I did this I was struggling a bit with how it would work.  But thanks to the Richard’s amazing engineering – it just works.  And it is perfect every time.

Highly Recommended for lovers of beautiful magic everywhere!
