Review by Andy Martin for E-Y-E by Edward Victor

5 out of 5 Couldn’t agree more with Barry – thanks for reminding me how good this effect is. Need to get it back into rotation. Edward Victor created this effect c. 1950 and sold the rights to Ken Brooke which Ken started selling c. 1954.  The main move, the EYE Count, was invented by …

Review by Andy Martin for Final Answer Parlor by Rocky Clements

5 out of 5 This is a parlor sized version of the larger stage version created by the talented craftsman Rocky Clements c. 2009.  It is a very clever effect if a little messy to set-up. While this prop is entirely different in size, appearance, design, and much of the method, it should be noted …

Review by Andy Martin for Tai Ginseng (Headless Man) by Tony Lackner

5 out of 5 This effect is based on a an old children’s toy of the 1930’s: “The man in the barrel”.

A wonderful classic piece …

Others, including: Fred Kaps, Ken Brooke, Herbert Martin Paufler, Tony Lackner, Vienna Magic, and more recently Francois Danis, have also created effects with the same basic principle.  But of the ones I have seen up close there is …

Working Performer’s Card to Wallet – Plus by Viking Mfg.

What a great wallet this is – amazing quality for such a low price.  It is a good size – not too big at all and the load is easy to do.  I love the pebble finish that makes it really look like a much more expensive wallet.  It comes with two main effects: Card …

Review by Andy Martin for Chinese Tea For Two by Thomas Pohle

5 out of 5 Thomas Pohle started his magic manufacturing business around the same time as Eckhard Boettcher opened his Magic Dealership: Zauber Butike, and they worked closely together. As is often the case, the name of the dealer was featured and the name of the craftsman behind the magic was sadly neglected. So I’m …
