5 out of 5 Here is a compact and well conceived version of T.A. Waters’ Box Office from Anthony Yap’s company: Retro Rocketeers. A company that specializes in some beautiful 3-D Printed magical items. One of the things that sets Anthony’s work apart is that the 3D printing phase is just the initial phase of …
5 out of 5 Omar Ferret’s cup is the same as many others I have seen but it is unclear when these were introduced, certainly the 1980’s but could have been much earlier. Possibly derived from the Chop Cup, with the important distinction that for most of these Coin Cups when they are loaded you …
You know when you are getting old when you just can’t be bothered to learn a new routine that you know would go down perfectly with your audience 🙁 I’ve had this wonderful prop sitting on my incoming shelf for over two years and as much as I know it will work for me, I’ve …
4 out of 5 This is Steve Dusheck’s entry in the Book Test market and it was inspired by effects created by Phil Goldstein and Larry Becker. Very well produced, It is a little bold, but some of the best magic is. The book cannot be examined, but if you follow Steve’s simple suggestions and …

A version was also created exclusively for Stevens Magic here. Vampire Block Escape is related to the popular Vampire …
5 out of 5 The Conway Cigarette Case is based upon the effect The Card and Cigarette Case by American Close-up Magician Bert Allerton in his book The Close-up Magician c. 1958. However, Bert Allerton’s idea used an ungimmicked Cigarette Case. Pat Conway created the perfect gaff to make the case still look normal, but …
5 out of 5 First there was Otto, then Jo-Anne and Gwendolyn, and along with many others I finally have tracked down Jack Hughes’ wonderful Fifi 🙂 Fifi is bold and beautiful and quite a lot larger than the modern day standard duck: Warren Hamilton’s Jo-Anne, though they both weigh about the same (approximately 1 …
5 out of 5 I don’t think there is a nice magic device that Andy doesn’t own or at least can describe. I started doing magic in 1977, but lost all interest around 1990. Do not ask me why – I do not know myself. On November 11, 2019, on the day of St. Martin, …
