Review by Andy Martin for Run Run Run by Smoky Mountain Magic

5 out of 5 In 1939 the Englishman Harry Leat invented what became one of the best and most enduring children’s effects of all time: Run Rabbit Run. Like the Die Box, with which it bears some obvious similarities, it has inspired craftsmen and dealers ever since. I have tried many versions over the years, …

Rematch by Bob King, Kaymar Magic

This was created by Bob King c. 1990 using an improved version of the Modulo Arithmetic Principle.  Liam Montier has reworked it to use the ‘game-show’ presentation and suggested added the buzzer. I started performing this effect this holiday season and I love it.  I changed the routine a little so that the spectator would …

Review by Andy Martin for Talking Skull by Vienna Magic

5 out of 5 What a wonderful item from Vienna Magic.  As with most of their magic the skull and electronics are all very well made. The box even holds a deck of cards inside the box, which seems obvious, but I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen similar props that cannot accommodate the …

Horizontal Block Penetration by Magic Wagon

This is a beautiful illusion inspired by Harry Bohleno’s Visible Block Penetration c. 1946 though performed in a horizontal position. You know it is going to be good when you can find at least three YouTube videos of the effect. Yes three is the tell tale sign for Magic Wagon items 🙂 And although the …

Destiny Chest by Magic Wagon, John M. Talbot

This chest is inspired by one of my favorite prediction chests, The Dr. Q. Prediction Chest. It has two main differences: It is quite a lot smaller than the Owen’s chest (see the last four photos for comparisons) The chest really can’t be examined or handled closely by the spectator because there is no locking …

Mental Numero by Magic Wagon

I have been supporting Magic Wagon since 2006, way before they were popular, and I’ve seen nearly all of their items.  Mental Numero does nothing for me, but apparently the Cafe cats like it.  It is well made like all of Magic Wagon’s items, and the mechanism works smoothly. The box can be shown and …

Mental Dice by Anverdi, Murphy’s Magic

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 produced.  Absolutely Fantastic! 🙂 …

Ed Massey’s Knife Thru Arm by Limited Edition Magic

For years my favorite chopper effect has easily been the See-Thru Guillotine by Wellington Enterprises. It checks all the boxes and simply looks amazing.  But it is large and expensive, and even though it is difficult to imagine how it could work it is still a large magic prop and all sorts of things could …
