Perfection Attained

I’ve owned four different versions of Hydro Die and I must say this recent creation from the Magic Wagon team is by far the best. It looks the most intriguing, is the most convincing, and operates the smoothest.

Magic Wagon have been around for about seven years and over that time they have created a very impressive collection of beautiful and functional magic. There are very few manufacturers who consistently create magic of this caliber and quality, just take a look at some of their best items.

Magic Wagon continue to create small runs of amazing magic, but they sell out quickly, so if you are looking for some amazing items keep an eye on their site.

Highly Recommended for Collector’s and Close-up Performers of miracles.

Fine Quality Props and Great Idea!

I really like this effect from Mark Leveridge and beautifully manufactured by that master Chip guy Per Clausen.

In effect, you show two small brass screw top boxes: one with a silver colored top and base and the other with a red colored top and base. The spectator freely places her ring into the silver box, and you place a coin in the red box. Then without any tricky moves the ring and coin switch places.

This effect is easy to do with no complex sleights. However, it does require some practice to get the handling smooth and clean. But since it all looks above board you are not really under any heat at the moments of the moves. Long before the audience thinks the effect has happened you are left clean and smooth.

Due to the nature of the transposition, you could devise other uses for these boxes such as using the one ahead principle for predictions.

I think this is a winner from Mark Leveridge – check out his site, he has some very interesting effects just waiting to be discovered.

Beautiful, Functional, and Quick!

I had a set of Abbott’s Jet-Sets for thirteen years and was always happy with how they looked once they were up. But the set-up was a bit of a pain and the material I used really needed a good ironing from time to time. They were also quite heavy. These Spider’s are so much better in every way.

Firstly they look great – much more professional than the Jets, they are taller and have a proper opening in the middle, they are lighter, and they are much, much quicker to set-up. It takes me about 10 mins. from start to finish. With practice this can be streamlined further I’m sure.

The secret with a successful portable backdrop is that it has to be easy to set-up and look good otherwise you’ll not bother to put it up as often. I whip the Spider’s up whenever I get a chance!

I’m so glad Mark Stevens at StevensMagic.com convinced me to invest in this set, they are well worth the money and will last me a lifetime!

Always Amazing!

Craig Fillcetti’s work is always amazing! Color Match is no exception and what is really neat about this item is that although it uses state of the art electronics you would never suspect it.

The package can be used for a close-up/walk around and parlor/stage performance which makes it even more of a deal. There is a one-time set-up but after that you should be good to go for months of performances.

This is real magic at it’s best!

Highly recommended for performing mentalists everywhere!

Anverdi Outdone!

There have been many versions of Anverdi’s Enchanted Ring and most of them are pretty neat. However, this new one by Dave Powell is probably the best one available.

The moment the rings passes through the needle is particularly amazing as it is possible to do it as you place the block onto the spectators outstretched hand, with no covers or motion. It does look amazing for sure! Nothing is added or taken away and everything can be examined.

This is certainly one not to be missed for the close-up performer!
