Based on Richard Himber’s brilliant Ghost Glass c. 1946, Limited Edition Magic have released a perfect replication of this mini illusion. Himber’s original version was a 12″ stage model, but this new one is made in pocket-size crafted from walnut with solid brass pointer, brass hardware, complemented perfectly by the gleaming needle with solid brass …
One of my favorite Jack Hughes items is Penetra-Spheres that was invented c. 1937 shortly after Jack invented his tray version of Coins In Glass. Penetra-Spheres was licensed by Abbott’s for sale in the USA and was sold for the first time c. 1947 under the name Hole in One which is the name most …
I love Juan Pablo’s Torn Card Evolution! I have used it for a few years now. You can see it in action here: Plexi-Card by El Duco’s Magic Card Go by Jack Hughes Presto Card Frame by Thayer Quality Magic Any other time you need a torn card to appear in an impossible place 🙂 …
This is Magic Wagon’s close-up version of Jack Hughes’ Pentra Spheres, which of course was popularized by Abbott’s as Hole in One, though it has been built by others (the most impressive of which was the one put how by Definitive Magic). Zauber Butike put out a close-up version named Secret of the Pearls, but …
5 out of 5 Wow a very clean and convincing penetration beautifully created by Magic Wagon. You know if it is based on a Jack Hughes idea it has to be gold, and this one certainly is. There are no funny moves and it could not look more realistic if you tried – show the …
_EF Based on an original idea from Mr. Jack Hughes’s Dove Through Glass c. 1959, we are pleased to bring you The Pagoda Mystery. A beautiful wooden frame containing a sheet of plexiglass is displayed on both sides. The performer then taps on the sheet of plexiglass to prove it is solid. He then places …
This is Magic Wagon’s take on the old Jack Hughes item Attaboy from the 1930’s. _EF Based on a classic Jack Hughes effect, we are pleased to bring you The Golden Dragon. A beautiful dragon statue along with a mini Bicycle deck of cards is displayed. Three cards are freely chosen and returned to the …
5 out of 5 Another beauty from the sadly little known Thomas Pohle. If you enjoy number predictions like Jack Hughes’ Figures of Foo, Number Logs, or Gerlitz’ Modern Math, then you’ll absolutely love this beautiful piece of imported micro magic. There’s an added twist to the second phase of the routine which would fool …
Variations of the Final Card effect have been around at least as early as 1945. Abbott’s released The Last Card devised by Roydon c. 1945 and Jack Hughes produced his improvement c. 1946. I found an advert from the Gamages Catalog for Final Selection c. 1960. This method/refinement for this version was invented by the …
Anyone receiving my lists knows I’m a big fan of Jack Hughes’ magic. While most are familiar with such classics as his Snake Basket, Hole In One, Visible Coins In Glass and so on one of the sleeper effects he created is his seldom seen: Peg Box. The effect is offbeat and clever, and the …
