Clearly impossible box
I just picked this up on the Magic Cafe and I love it. I think it is one of the best card to impossible locations out there. The box is stunning and the handling is simple. I plan on using it with Dean Dill’s Revelation. A+
Review by Andy Martin for Cesaral Magic Bulb Pro by Cesaral

There Can Be Only One Magic Bulb!
So if you have read my review for the Cesaral Spirt Bell you’ll know that I consider it the finest one of its kind by a mile. Well Cesar Alonso has done the same thing with his Magic Bulb Pro. It is perfect and beautiful.
The Cesaral Magic Bulb comes in three main styles: the standard one, the pro one, and a remote control one. For pretty much all situations I think the Pro one is the best. You can see inside the bulb and everything just looks fine – it simply looks like a real bulb. When it glows it glows bright and looks like a real bulb. It comes with a switch that you can plug-into the wall to show the bulb is real by turning the switch on and off – which is a real convincer of how normal the bulb is.
Although you can have your own programmed sequence created by Cesar, the standard one will wait for 15 seconds and the produce some bright flickers. Then the bulb waits for 20 seconds and then gradually turns brighter and brighter and then it gradually turns off. After the initial setting it will do this without you touching it again. If you watch it in action, it seems perfectly normal.
The bulb appears to last for months without a recharge and each charge can be used for many performances. As with all things released by Cesaral Magic, everything is well thought through and all appears natural in your hands.
Cesaral Magic is not cheap but it is worth every penny – give me Cesaral Quality over quantity any day!
Highly Recommend for Performers and Collectors everywhere.
Review by Andy Martin for Dice of Poseidon by Magic Wagon
4 out of 5
Convoluted but Clever
So I’m not so sure of the story line for this item and it uses water which most of the time is just a pain. However, it works amazingly well and is very clever. In fact, Magic Wagon give directions where you just use one die but I have done it perfectly fine with two and even three. Two is probably the safest but with some practice I think three is also very possible. Of course predicting two or three dice is much more impressive than just one.
The key thing is that the dice can be shaken up many times in the glass and on the tabletop and they will always show different numbers, but when you pour the magic water (Poseidon’s) in, you can always predict the numbers. It is very cool to watch.

A Complete Fooler
This is one of my favorite closeup tricks. I’ve yet to have anyone figure this out. Even other magicians and my significant other couldn’t fathom the secret of this diabolically clever trick! Get it!

Another Beautifully made Prediction
So Magic Wagon make their props perfectly and this item is no exception. It is easy to operate and set-up and works every time. In many ways this is like Al Koran’s Gold Medallion – both use a similar method and require a little bit of boldness to pull off.
I’m not sure if this one is for me really, but the props are amazing as usual.

Beautiful Box and Clever Method
Here is another beauty from the Magic Wagon team. The box is made of a gorgeous naturally aged teak wood with inlay. It uses a wonderful and clever principle that means there are no switches, mirrors, lights, batteries, or electronics and everything is self-contained. Even though the box appears to be innocent, you are able to divine what has been placed in the box, every time.
It really is an amazing prop and something you will be proud to own. Recommended for Magic Collectors everywhere.

A Beautiful 3-Way Card Box
More beautiful inlayed teak boxes from Magic Wagon. What is neat about this beautiful item is it allows you three outs instead of two with a normal card box. It also allows you to do multiple changes should you want to do that. In some sense it is similar to CW’s Psychic Sword, but it has three options and you can go back to any of them right in front of the spectators if you so desired (although I’m not sure you would).
If you wanted to collect beautiful teak boxes that work perfectly and look amazing, Magic Wagon would be a great place to start.
Highly Recommended for Magic Collectors everywhere!
Review by AndyMartin for Emperor Ring Cabinet by Magic Wagon
5 out of 5
Another Beautiful Ring Penetration
I believe this is Magic Wagon’s third ring penetration effect. First there was Sword of the Ring with Howie at the Trickery (now sadly no more), then the Mysterious Ring Cabinet, and now this one the Emperor Ring Cabinet. Each one uses a very different method and each will have its fans.
What is neat about this one is that at the end everything can be examined and it really is quite impossible to understand how the ring got onto the brass rod.
Imagine owning all of these amazing items. Now imagine they all came from the same company in the space of just eight years!
If you haven’t started collecting their magic you really should because they are producing some of the best, reasonably priced collectible magic today.
Review by AndyMartin for Streamline Art Deco Steel Ball Through Glass (Cabala) by Dave Powell
5 out of 5
Annoyingly Beautiful!
Dave Powell makes some of the most amazing collectible props available today. This new Art Deco version of his previous Steel Ball Through Glass is a case in point. It is truly a work of art. It is about as small as you could ever imagine it and has a cool gimmick that as far as I know is unique with Dave. It really is quite breathtaking. If you were looking for any type of Cabala or Ball Through Glass I defy you to find a more beautiful or convincing one. All versions of this trick have angle issues, but once you accept that, this one is easily the most deceptive and examinable of its kind.
So why annoying? Well I want to be mad at Dave for his delivery schedules which are often moved, sometimes multiple times. But when he consistently delivers such amazing products it is hard to stay mad at him.
Great job Dave! Highly recommended for Magic Collectors everywhere!
