This is another clever and very easy to perform illusion from Thomas. It works perfectly with no reset and nothing added or taken away. It really is a fooler.
These four items are amazing Thomas – I don’t know how you keep coming up with cool magic forty years later. Great job Thomas 🙂

The earliest version of this type of drawer box I could find with the end of the box hinged was one by Thayer mentioned in Dr. Albo’s Vol. XI – Laboratories of Legerdemain (pg. 85) with a date c. 1910. The first catalog listing I could find was in Thayer’s Catalog 9 Volume 2 c. 1943. There it was called Thayer’s Ultra De Luxe Drawer Box. However, this box is not quite the same as the drawer itself does not lock. An Owen’s version was also pictured in Dr. Albo’s Classic Magic With Apparatus Vol. II.
This is a very pretty, interesting, and quite rare Drawer Box from Owen Magic Supreme that works perfectly. It has the added feature of the hinged open back so after the production the drawer may be placed aside, and the arm shoved completely through the box and wave to the audience at the other end.

Hi, Although I am 71 years old I only started doing magic last year, so it is great to find you. Look forward to checking your site out in future.

This is the re-released version of Martin Breese’s Cyclops Box in a smaller size built to perfection by the Magic Wagon team. The one thing that Magic Wagon can be relied upon is if you give them a project to build they will always create a mechanically perfect version of your vision.
There is no doubt the Mini Cyclops Box is an improvement on Martin’s original box. You can now control when the mechanism is used which means the box can easily be given to the spectator to handle and hold. The mechanism is very clean and you will love how this version works.
This is a beautiful box that rarely comes up for sale and it is a great utility item that you’ll find lots of uses for and love to play with it 🙂

I have never seen this performed before tonight. Andy – I thought your performance [and not so quick,] was great actually. I was just speaking to a another collector of magic the other night that has this trick and I have heard of it a bit before, but never seen it performed. I actually think your timing is awesome to give the trick a little bit more showmanship than you think. I thought the performance you gave was better than the first video, to tell you the truth. Wow! What a great trick!
From Andy Martin: Thanks so much Jon – glad you liked it. I really tried to do justice to this great piece, adding the music and even putting on my Tux for the first time in ten years 🙂

This is easily the most advanced switch board available in terms of production, quality, extensibility, and function. There is no doubt that Martin Andersen and the IDEAA Lab have done an amazing job and put their heart and soul into this project.
All the reviews I have seen about this rave about it and it really does deliver and then some. It is a great product and would look right at home with products released by Apple.
However, as a collector and performer I can’t help wishing for something a little simpler like the original Illumin-Ace by Paul Bernhardt or Wellington’s beautiful Mini Magic Switchboard, or even the more recent Chips by Paul Picha. The real problem when you create an effect that is clearly a modern electronic item is that most spectators have already seen lots of amazing and magical things with iPhones and Smart devices of all kinds, so the bar is set really high when it comes to creating real magic. It doesn’t mean it can’t entertain, for sure it can, but to really convince the spectators you are performing magic (or at least doing something more than anyone else could with the same device) just takes a little more effort.

This is the second in a line of unique collectibles manufactured by Damir Djanis of Croatia. Damir has definitely upped the ante with this release and is really demonstrating his wood crafting talents.
The props looks wonderful and they can be minutely examined – there is nothing to find. The method works very well and with just one read of the instructions you’ll quickly get the hang of things. The instructions and routine, written by George Robinson Jr., include an interesting story-based routine which you might enjoy.
Notice: This does not work the same way as Magic Wagon’s Magic Gemstone and Hieroglyphic Spells – you can clearly show the tablet fully flush in the bottom of the box and even have the spectator close the lid if you desire.
History Notice: The creative genius who began the modern Mummy craze in Micro Magic, Karl Edler, created an effect called “The Tablet of Knowledge” (Die Täfelchen der Erkenntnis) c. 1941 but Karl’s effect was a mentalism effect with 10 numbered tiles and bears no resemblance to Damir’s penetration effect described on this page, just in case you history buffs were wondering.
As with Damir’s previous release these are made in a limited edition of 24 units so there is no doubt these will become more collectible over time. My advice to you is go get one now 🙂
