Hard to keep a good Knife Guy Down!

Joe Mogar continues to impress me with his beautiful and and practical knife sets. These beauties are hot off the press and they are a subtle combination of Koa Wood and Mother of Pearl. As much as I love his brightly colored knives I think the more muted exotic ones look more realistic for regular performance. So these bad boys are perfect.

If you’re looking for the best knives available today look no further than Joe Mogar – he always delivers!

Perfect Close-up Illusion

Wow those Magic Wagon guys are back again and this time with a beautiful close-up illusion. As with all of their magic it is made perfectly. In effect you cleanly build a wooden triangle right in front of their eyes and from the middle pull a (very) heavy mini dragon statue.

This item is actually much better than Magic Wagon know themselves – they over thought it I believe when they came up with the gimmick and routine – and in fact you can achieve a much cleaner illusion by dropping a couple of steps they say in the instructions. Nothing hard but with a little thought you can make it easier and more effective.

There are very few guys out there today creating such amazing close-up magic that is both collectable and magical. Magic Wagon build in small runs, so get one now before they are gone.

More Knives and More Colors

This is the perfect kit if you want to get serious about doing any color changing knife routines. Combining Ascanio’s World of Knives with Joe Mogar’s beautiful color changing knives and mini-knife finale is a stroke of genius!

Highly recommended for all Close-up magicians out there.

Perfection.

I’ve always liked the old Duck Bucket illusion, but have never found the justification for a large stage model – even the beautiful Owen’s one. However, when I saw this beautiful creation from Mark Teufel I knew I had to have it.

It is perfectly made and the illusion could not be more realistic – it really looks like an empty mini-bucket even right up close. I realize there are other ways to produce a deck of cards but it is hard to imagine a more classy and collectible prop to do so.

As with all of Mark’s rare magic items this is highly recommended if you can find one.

Another Wellington Marvel

I can’t think of any item that comes from Wellington that is not amazing. This is one of the sleepers that seem to come up very rarely. I was on a list forever for this and was unable to get one directly from Bill. Finally I tracked one down from a private seller and I was very happy I did.

It is a very convincing illusion and all of the kinks of the previous methods have been ironed out – as is a trademark of Wellington.

Highly Recommended for performers who want to amaze.

Anverdi would be proud!

For many years Tony Anverdi’s Mental Die was the pinnacle of this type of effect. Since then there have been many versions – some good and some not so good. Easily the best from a collector’s standpoint would be Labco’s Mental Dice, and from a performers standpoint Craig Filicetti’s Multi-Dimensional is clearly the stand out effect.

However, if you were looking for the best Mental Die available today, in the tradition of Anverdi, then you should look no further than this new item from Magic Wagon. This is a truly beautiful item that looks amazing and uses a crystal clear die to rule out any trickery. It can be examined before, during and after and freely handled throughout the performance.

The system is all remote controlled with visual or vibration notifications and works every single time. You never need to touch it or look at it and yet you can always tell what number is facing upwards.

This is a real beauty and highly recommended for Magic Collector’s everywhere!

Breathtaking!

Wow! Dave Powell has pulled out all of the stops on this beauty. It looks amazing and is very solidly built – you don’t get the sense if you look at it the wrong way it will break. All the mechanics are very precise and I’m sure this will last for many years to come.

The cards appear very fast and when done with a cascade of other cards from the deck looks quite incredible. The set-up is simple and works precisely the way it should.

I’ve been admiring Dave’s work for a few years now, but this truly is the jewel of his collection. Simply Breathtaking!

Highly Recommended for Collector’s and Performers everywhere and worth every penny!
