4 out of 5 This is U.F. Grant’s wonderful and overlooked Improved Proxy Substitution Chest. The original version released c. 1946 used just a single chest, but an improved version was introduced c. 1966 using two chests. This is the latter kind. It doesn’t look very much when you get it but it is a …
Here is another clever beauty from Germany’s modern day micro-magic master craftsman: Thomas Pohle. The basic effect is one where a freely chosen star disappears from one tube only to appear printed on a previously shown blank plaque. But Thomas has put in some features to throw off the scent for magicians. The vanish of …
_EF Volume IV of Mike Caveney’s acclaimed Classic Correspondence series contains 24 more historic letters that Mike has annotated using the seemingly inexhaustible files in Egyptian Hall Museum. Over the course of four years these letters appeared in Genii magazine, but in book form they have been corrected and amended with additional photographs, posters and …
Magic Wagon will often remake and enhance old effects and so it is nice to see them creating something that as far as I know is a unique method and routine. When I first opened this and read the method I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to perform. Then I checked out the …
This is Magic Wagon’s version of Ed Massey’s beautiful and amazing effect: The Strange Cabinet of Deodar. Magic Wagon did a really great job here and not only did they stay true to the original they improved it slightly by allowing the spike through the top to be centered. Though the bottle used does not …
This is a beautiful version of Magiro’s very clever effect released c. 1995 called: Neue Hellseh-Kassette (Clairvoyance Chest) from the Limited Edition Magic team. Paul Lembo continues to amaze with his craftsmanship and Joe Long clearly explains how to perform the effect – particularly the second phase which is barely mentioned in the original German …
Here is another electronic item from Christopher Taylor. In method it is very similar to his other recent premium item: The Snooker Prediction Box. However, what I love about Christopher is how he takes the same method and creates a very different effect. This starts of as a clean version of Max Maven’s classic Kurotsuke …
What a beauty this is from Christopher Taylor at Taylor Imagineering. If you are a regular visitor to my site you may know that I get quite tired with electronic effects and the reasons are quite simple: invariably they are expensive, use rechargeable batteries (which all eventually die and cannot easily be replaced), and amazingly …
When Jim Simon of Worth Magic (before Milson-Worth) created the Astro-Ball Cabinet c. 1965 it caused quite a stir because Jim basically took Phase 1 of Stewart James’ Sefalaljia (which was a ground breaking five phase routine when it appeared in issue 69 of The Jinx December 2, 1939). As Stewart James himself said in …
You always know you have an easy to do Magic Wagon item when there are 3 or more videos to choose from 🙂 This is a great item that is easy to do and as long as it is not rushed it produces a quiet, clean and amazing penetration. The method is very similar to …
