Unique and Beautiful – that is the Warner Way!

One of Alan Warner’s more recent miracles, and its both charming, clever, and beautiful.

The basic premise is that Jack the Lad – the Famous Art Thief steals one of the pictures from within the frame and is found in an envelope far away from the packing case from which it is stored.

Very well made, as usual.

Surprise follows surprise in this Warner Miracle!

Great props and comedic routine make this a real winner from Alan Warner. With a clever gimmick he has removed all sleight of hand so that you can focus on the fun.

The number of dice keeps changing with the black die returning to get in the way. So it is repeatedly removed, until in end a large die filling the box is produced.

Nice idea – cheap frame!

This is very elegant in its simplicity. An easy and foolproof way to add a stack of cards to the top of a deck for a whole host of effects. Unfortunately, as is so often the case these days, the frame is a pretty cheap plastic. It certainly works well, but it would be killer if it was better quality.

Or perhaps my bias towards fine woodwork is showing through?

Pom Poms for Plumbers!

I’ve always loved the Pom-Pom Prayer stick and have owned many different versions over the years. This is the first one that tries to be quite different, and I think there could be some superb patter variations with this prop.

The quality is ok, but since it is trying to be normal plumbing gear it works here. The action is fairly smooth. Overall a sweet effect!

Nice props, great effect!

Another nice one from Hank and Magiro! Props are very clean and well made, and the penetration of a borrowed half dollar could not be cleaner. You can see all sides of the bolt and slide during the penetration, and then of course at the end hand it all out for examination!

Great job!

Please don’t go!

When I first received this jacket I asked my wife to strap it on. Then I got paranoid that she was going to leave me and go shopping whilst I was still locked in!

Very realistic, very examinable, and you can still escape with little practice.

The skill in this effect, like so many others, is selling it to the audience. But this is an easy sell!

One of the cheapest and best CW Effects!

I love this effect. Simple premise, but with the right routine and a few of my own extras it is great entertainment and great mystery!

It goes to show that CW does not have to charge you $3000 for a real winner!

Check out the video for my routine!
