This is Supreme Magic’s version of the Jack Hughes’ Teleflash effect c. 1951 and is featured in World of Magic – Vol. 2. It is one of the nicest effects I’ve seen from Supreme and this copy is in excellent condition even though it is 32 years old. The mechanism Works perfectly with a number …
Another rare and collectible item from 1987 by the great German craftsman Willi Wessel. Unlike his fellow countryman, Thomas Pohle, Willi has retired from creating magic some years ago, so his magic is getting harder and harder to find. This is one of his best items. What I like about Willi’s routines is that he extracts …

_EF And says Harry Lorayne about STAR QUALITY: “I haven’t been this ‘turned on’ in a long time. David’s magic is new, fresh, imaginative, entertaining. It will fool the hell out of you.

Contents: 9 About the Writings 11 Foreword (written by Channing Pollock) 13 Groundwork: Burger talks …
Mephisto-Huis’ Stone of The Pharaohs- imported years ago from Germany and now very difficult to find. _EF A wonderful and eerie effect that practically works itself. The props supplied are beautifully crafted and the cabinets finished with a classic gold, red, black trim that look like a piece of apparatus Owen Magic Supreme would have …

Wow what an amazing magic set 🙂 Like many magician’s my first steps into magic were through a box of tricks under the Christmas Tree. My set was the Hocus Pocus Magic Box c. 1972 – like many toy magic boxes it was filled with many of the same effects. And although it really was …
This is very similar to Magiro’s effect called Geldschein-Wunder released by Eckhard Boettcher c. 1989. Since Ickle Pickle’s version was released c. 1987 it could appear that both Magiro and Steve Bender (of Ickle Pickle) invented this effect independently. However, based on the caliber and frequency of the effects that Magiro has invented I think …
