5 out of 5 Blasted was by created by Bob Swadling and sold by Harry Stanley c. 1964. And it quickly became a hit around the world! Originally it was called The Swadling Swindle but it’s name changed to Blasted when it was marketed in the USA. What I really like about this is if …
5 out of 5 What a beautiful set of coin cups these are from Inzani-Henley made in Italy out of quality leather. They look amazing 🙂 Also included are two sets of four foreign coins (of different sizes), made from nickel-plated copper so that they can be attracted by the cups without special shims as …
This effect was invented by Marvillo and you can see his original one here. It sounds like a great effect and I would love to see this performed over the counter such that you would instantly purchase it 🙂 I think the routine is a little weak. As written you are expected to show clearly …
Tricks With Chips is a series of tricks by Erhard Liebenow of Germany. It was published by Werry (Werner Geissler) in his Die Magische Welt magazine and the copyright was then purchased by Supreme Magic Company c. 1969 and sold by them here. However, this booklet was published in Germany by Erhard Liebenow in English. …
Thanks to Nick Trost (Card Magic of Nick Trost, pg. 99) the history of using playing cards for running a horse race traces back to at least 1914 and a race game called “Minoru” after King Edward VII’s racehorse. Then John Scarne described the Horse Race card game c. 1949 in Scarne on Cards and …
I have no real information about this effect. It works and it easy to do. There is no forcing, but you do use up 2 envelopes each time you perform it. The coins can’t be examined and I’m not sure how convincing it is with the envelopes. I think if I wanted to perform this …
This effect was made by the English coin craftsman Eddie Gibson and sold by Mephisto (manufacturer and dealer from Belgium, now known as Mephisto-Huis), Hank Lee and others. It should not be confused with Eddie’s more famous bolt effect called Twist Off. The method appears to be basically the same as B.I.O.N. though I think …
This is easily the best quality item I’ve ever seen from the original Sasco and it was first sold in the early 1990’s. This is a really nice set and looks great. You do have to do the famous Okito move and you can be the judge of how good I do it in the …
5 out of 5 This effect uses the exact same method and a very similar gimmick to Richard Himber’s Solid Gold Gimmick marketed by Richard Himber c. 1957. Although there is no credit to Himber (which is always sad to see) Dr. Schwartz’s version does work very well and if you are one of the …
This is one of the best items that Mikame Craft ever made. Heavier and more substantial than many of their other wooden items and beautifully made in natural Japanese Oak. It is also more practical than the striking Criterion Demo Table from Collectors’ Workshop, and looks as good or better. The “demonstration table” is not …
