5 out of 5 Mike Rose creates some great small run, custom items and I just picked-up his latest releases. This one is his Mysterious Paddle Set which includes five different paddles made from solid cherry wood. The five paddle routines are detailed very clearly on high quality, photo-illustrated instruction sheets that could easily be …
What a beautiful and clever idea from the talented craftsman from Croatia, Damir Djanis. This is the third of Damir’s items released by George Robinson at Viking Mfg. and I think it is the best so far. I’ve always liked the Cabala type effect but have never been happy with the angle issues. But now …
5 out of 5 What an adorable prop this is 🙂 I am pretty sure this is a one off created by a very talented British craftsman but I have no other information on the creator. However, I can share what I have pieced together. The creative British inventor and Children’s magician, Len Belcher, wrote …
This is a really beautiful version of Silkola from a new manufacturer Darren Heppel and his company DS Magik. Darren has been interested in magic for many years but has only recently started building his own props. Though based on his first two items he has released you could never tell. His finish out and …
5 out of 5 Anverdi’s Surprise Box is one of his finest creations. It came in a number of versions, also built by various dealers other than Anverdi. This fine version was sold by Mephisto-Huis and I believe it was built by them too. However, it might have been made by Anverdi and just sold …
5 out of 5 Eddy Taytelbaum has no equal and inspired the mini-magic line that Alan Warner took on as the next generation with splendid results. Eddy invented this effect and like many of his creations, including his amazing Mummy, it is the gold standard. It is hard to always tell by photos alone, but …
5 out of 5 One of my favorite glass penetrations is the Glass (Quadruple) Penetration that was invented by Peter Warlock in 1937. It is sometimes known as the English Glass Penetration and there have been a number of versions created, even as recently as 2020 when Magic Wagon created their Atomic Glass Penetration. This …
5 out of 5 I wasn’t consciously collecting the Okito-Williams series masterly crafted by Carl Williams but I seem to have added quite a number of them. This latest addition is by far the most impressive of the series and one of the prettiest pieces of magic you can own. I can’t imagine how difficult …
5 out of 5 This is one of the last things I purchased from Frank Starsinic’s great company before he closed-up shop earlier this year. Frank produced a great line of custom bags, pouches, cases, and various leather goods and will be missed. If you have a nice set of Linking Rings then this is …
4 out of 5 This is a remake of Heath’s Mystic Tappit – not sure why Jay Leslie spelt “Tappit” incorrectly when he released this but it should have two p’s. This is a functional version and Jay has included an extra phase which works well too. But to my mind it is not necessary …
