This is one of the original Card Ducklings released by Rich Bloch c. 1984. I prefer it to the early ones created by George Robinson with the googly eyes however, I think recent releases from George are closer to the early CW ones. There have been many versions of the Card Duck over the years. …
Here is a wonderful collection of low priced “Collector’s” items from the famous Indian producer of magic products Sam Dalal 🙂 Good old Sam the Sham, you can’t keep a good man down. No one is going to believe these items rival the wood craftsmanship of (in no particular order) Colin Rose, Alan Warner, Kent …
The standard version of this effect was apparently so popular the mini version was released about six months later. When I first saw this version I thought it was the mini version until I received it and noticed it weighed twice as much as the standard version. So this is not the “Mini” version. Internally …
This clever effect is sadly not new with Tannen’s 🙁 The same basic method was actually created ten years earlier by Ed Mellon and engineered by James Swoger as Quantimental. In fact Quantimental is easier to set, more flexible, quieter, and has more choices. However, even if Divining Rods is not as good as the …
5 out of 5 A nested box made for close-up magic. It’s made of beautiful wood, very well crafted – and most of all, it’s a little thing! Like most nested boxes, the performer needs to find their own way to make a ring or coin disappear first. Then, thanks to the clever design of …
This great solid Oak production or switching device from Abe Creekmore works very well. It is a little similar to Joe Berg’s No-Fake Card Frame but it has a fake and is also more versatile and easier to use 🙂 This stand can vanish, appear, or switch jumbo cards, postcards, cash and similar flat items. …
This wonderful and rare item was created by the Australian magic manufacturer Maquintre Pty Ltd. They also made a solid Bang Gun and a Sausage Gun but I am unable to find anything else about this company. The method is based on an idea by Will Blyth called The Mystic Circle in his book Effective …
This is unauthorized copy of John Breeds’ Visible Picture Painting sold and developed by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic c. 1979. John originated the effect c. 1967 when he was a technical training instruction teaching color TV principles; the effect was a visual aid for his students. Richard Stupple provides the routine for the Repro …
An interesting and light weight (packs flat plays big) version of Jack Hughes’ Giant Dwarf featured in volume 2 of World of Magic from the Austrian Electronics craftsman Paul Picha. The full size version has also been made by Abbott’s, Mephisto-Huis, Supreme Magic, Owens Magic Supreme and others. _EF A really cute kiddie trick. Magician …
The original idea for this effect was Herz aus Glas by Robert Farchmin in German c. 1938. The routine featured here was first published by Punx c. 1977 and this was translated into English by Bill Palmer c. 1987 with the release of Punx’s book Once Upon A Time. In 1988 George Robinson Jr. of …
