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 …
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 …
5 out of 5 This effect is based on a an old children’s toy of the 1930’s: “The man in the barrel”. Others, including: Eddy Taytelbaum, 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. A wonderful classic piece …
What a beautiful set of Dizzy Dominoes from the talented Dutch craftsman Gerard Scanlan who runs Gallus Magic in Holland. I’ve tried quite a few variations of Dizzy Dominoes over the years and to make a good set of dizzy dominoes the contrast between the dots and background has to be clear, but also not …

5 out of 5 What an adorable version of the classic Thieves and Sheep or Cops and Robbers theme by the great German craftsman Tony Lackner, routined perfectly by Eckhard Boettcher. This is a good time to remember the producers of magic – so often we think of the craftsmen who make these wonderful effects, …
5 out of 5 Wow I can’t believe how good these bottles look and feel, and the price they are being offered at is amazing. These are easily as nice as the old Harries ones I used to rave about. Although it is true they don’t have the small wine compartment at the top like …
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 …
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 …
