I love this!

Ok so I have 20+ new tricks to add and 20+ books, but I have just added one. This beatiful effect by Paul Mims and Doug Gorman is really, really growing on me.

I’ve performed it a few times and it kills! The basic effect is this: 3 cards are chosen from a blue backed deck and then the 3 Magic Chameleon cards are shown and as they are placed on top of the chosen cards one at a time they are shown to change to the same card. Then each card is transformed to one of the chosen cards, and finally the colors of the backs of each chosen card changes to the Chameleon cards (red, green and black) and the rest of the deck are shown to be blue.

This is one of those tricks that needs to be seen to be appreciated. it requires one simple sleight and everything not only is clean at the end, but reset is almost automatic.

Everything about this effect has been cleanly routined and with about an hours practice you will have an incredible effect to perform for the rest of your life. This is already slated for my Christmas shows.

Thank-you Paul and Doug for releasing such a wonderful effect!

Good Old Howie!

Finding good craftsmen these days is very hard. The short, but cuddly, Howie at The Trickery has had his fair share of false starts. When he finds a good one, they vanish like the magic effects they produce! But it looks like Howie is back on track with his latest creation. The quality is not quite as good as the Trickery’s Pinnacle: J.L. Wright – but it is very close, and for me certainly close enough.

As soon as I received this coin box, I ordered another one straight away – that is how much I like it. I have not found time to review any effects for over a month, but I always find time for quality.

This is basically a card box for coins, but I have not seen another box like it, and believe me I have a lot of little boxes here! I love it! The mechanism works very well and I cannot fault it in anyway. It comes with a bunch of effects, and if you are like me you will order two to add that whole transportation dimension.

Hightly recommended.

Move over Mr. Porper!

Good Bloody Night, these paddles are amazing! I’ve known for some time how talented Chance Wolf is with newer hi-tech materials. However I had no idea he is a true craftsman of the old ways too! This whole collection is amazing: from the beautiful box they are stored in, to the incredible individuality of each paddle, to the video demos that comes with the outfit.

Everything is a sheer delight. It is very hard to understand how this much talent, dedication and thought can be bought for so little in our world of highly inflated prices. These paddles are just an incredible deal.

What is more, Chance offers some great new ideas and moves in the easy to follow video. One of the best things about this whole set is that there are no moving parts on the paddles and everything is focused on ease of use with basically no re-set. Although the moves are simple, they create an incredible illusion, which just goes to show you the simplest magic is still the best.

I look forward to more min-magic offerings from Wolf’s Magic – the industry could certainly use the breath of fresh, magical air that is emanating from this incredibly talented company.

Most Highly Recommended!
