I’ve always liked Masuda’s Frozen in Time, but this latest update using ideas from Swedish Mentalist Lars-Peter Loeld really turns this is to a real miracle because the frame can be fully examined by the audience. It is easy to do and you’ll no doubt love this as so many others already do. _EF It …
5 out of 5 What a clever brass utility box this is and made so perfectly by Terry Roses. It comes in a beautiful inlaid oak carrying case too. Terry Roses does it all: he is a sleight of hand enthusiast, an avid collector of gambling equipment, locks, Houdiniana, a lecturer, a fantastic craftsman, and …
5 out of 5 This was Joe Lefler’s signature piece and it came in various colors and stains. This is the Red Oak version which looks amazing.

5 out of 5 This is probably Jack Ruda’s finest hour. It is The Temple of Goo, a hand-crafted gem that quickly became a favorite among collectors. Jack created this in two sizes the first had just 3 choices and was know as The Temple of Goo Fong sold by Ron Allesi as a limited …
I really like this book test. The books are very well produced and look like great fun movie coffee table books. They have lots of cool movie facts and the method is hidden 100% in plain sight with nothing to find at all. You could spend a month reading over them and would still find …
