For more details on Willi Wessel’s unique Alan Warner collection click here. I’ve always liked the solid feel of the beautiful effect from Alan. The effect is quite stunning because everything seems so clean and above board and the spectator even gets to open the box to find the missing scarab inside. You can’t go …
This is a gorgeous solid walnut frame by Milson-Worth, measuring 5 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches and 3/4 inch thick on the perimeter. The sand empties almost instantly and takes about 3 seconds to fill entirely. MIlson-Worth only made two sand frames. This one is for regular sized cards and only made of hardwood. …

The Seven Keys theme was created by Joseph Kolar in 1927, see here for more details. This has to be my favorite Anverdi effect! It looks like a standard looking petty cash box – in fact I load it up with cash so it IS a cash box. I introduce the locked cash box and …
What a great item from Mike O’Dowd. Although Cube-A-Libre type effects are popular with collector’s and dealers I’m not sure how popular they are with most lay people – to my mind there are just too many blocks to keep track of. Which is why I love this effect. Just three blocks and the moves …
What a dream prop this is from Milson-Worth. It looks stunning and unlike many similar props you can clearly see all the way through to the back, and the wagon looks the same from front and back and every part of the design is perfect – even the wheels move. I’d be the first to …
