Much Overlooked, Highly Practical Nest of Boxes

This is another very nice set of practical nesting boxes. The boxes are small and the mechanism is clever and easy to operate. The mechanism is similar to the Porper Strong Box.

What is particularly nice about this set is that even with the key locked you can get back into the boxes anytime. They are also exceptional value for money at $150.

There are more beautiful boxes, but this set is small and practical and much more likely to be used. They are certainly beautifully made, just not without all the inlays.

Highly Recommended.

Funny Names, Very Beautiful Magic!

So here is the latest Collector Quality item from Magic Wagon, and what a beauty it is! As with all of their Collector pieces you will be hard pressed to find anything that is made better – unless you go to a high-end furniture store.

This piece is a very clean card prediction that allows the audience to shuffle a normal deck of cards and then choose any one from 1-5 and you can always predict the card. There is no force of the number they choose, they can change their mind at the last minute, and the result can be different next time.

The method is simple but very effective and works like a charm. If you have not started collecting the Collector line from Magic Wagon there is still time. If you have then I’m quite confident you will want to add this beautiful item to your collection. It is truly beautiful.

Highly Recommended for Collector’s Everywhere!

Bob is Back!

Where have you been Bobby? Good to see that Bob Solari has finally got his A-game back with this new release. Although it is the same principle as the old Chazpro Card Swami (as Bob rightly points out in his instructions and ad copy), this gimmick is more practical, easier to use and, unlike the Card Swami, available today. Bob was totally unaware that the Card Swami even existed until I pointed it out to his good buddy Howie at The Trickery.

The gimmick allows you to determine which card or cards are chosen in a very clean way. And your hands are clean before and after as the gimmick is added to a normal deck and is almost undetectable.

The instructions are clear and photo-illustrated, though they are only of the basic handling. There is a booklet (Card Swami) you can get from Chuck Leach at Chazpro that has a more detailed set of ideas with this wonderful gimmick.

Well done Bobby – good to see you back!

Clever, Well Made, Easy To Do, Wow!

Ton Onosaka makes really nice props in high grade plastic – his stuff looks good and makes sense. This effect is very visual, very clever, and easy to perform. The thinness and quality construction makes it stand out from its card board counterparts made famous by those long gone, but sadly missed, boys (Edwin + Ian) at Supreme Magic.

The construction will last a life time of performances and because there are so many changes this will surely fool those know it all types in the audience.

Highly Recommended!

Ton is always Great!

Ton Onosaka consistently produces very fine quality plastic effects that are different and clever. This one from Ton is great with 5 transformations and very clean method to make them all come about.

The quality is superb as usual, and the mechanism is very solid so you could be performing this for years to come!
