4 out of 5 Here is a rare beauty from the German master magic duo of Tony Lackner and Eckhard Boettcher c. 2000. The props are well made and look interesting and colorful and the method is easy to do. It comes with a great patter story filled with drama and intrigue which I have …

When I watched the video and received the item I could not figure out how this bad boy worked until I watched Thomas’ explanation video. The penetration is very clean and has a quick reset …
