Review by Andy Martin for Rising Coin Castle by Mikame Craft

5 out of 5 Different from Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering, But More Practical! If you have ever seen the Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering version of this effect you will at first be a bit disappointed.

Review by Andy Martin for Shake 'n' Snake (2013) by Nick Wenger

5 out of 5 This is the current version (since 2013) of Nick Wenger’s amazing Shake ‘n’ Snake.  It is basically the same but the basket is now a hand woven basket from Gypsy Baskets instead of a hard shell (firbeglass?) basket and the snake is now more realistic than before and in fact very …

Review by Andy Martin for Mental Dice by Anverdi, Murphy's

5 out of 5 I have never seen a set of dice like this before and although I thought we were done when Marc Antoine brought his version out in 2018, I was wrong.  This is not only the best set of mental dice ever created, it is probably the best item Murphy’s has ever …
