Review by Andy Martin for Imperial Coin Mystery by Merlins Magic, Mark Lee

4 out of 5 This is a simple and convincing effect that is nicely made and easy to learn with no sleights.  It was built by Mark Lee of Merlins Magic and is part of Merlins growing Premier Range (which is worth checking out if you like reasonably priced and interesting close-up wooden items). It …

The Cinders Story (Original) by Supreme Magic Company

This lovely effect was created by Harry Nicholls and released by Supreme Magic initially c. 1960 and then again c. 1977.  This is the original version released in the 1960’s.  The routine does not really change between the versions but there are some improvements to the cards and folders. As released it does not come …

Pagoda Mystery by Owen Magic Supreme, Thayer Quality Magic

This beautiful and practical utility device was first manufactured by Thayer c. 1936 as the “Wu-Ling” Pagoda Mystery and was originated by Englishman Wu-Ling (aka Mr. Richard C. Ritson, MMC, The Magical Mandarin).  In the Thayer literature it is also often referred to as the Pagoda Cabby. Owen’s carried on with their version and dropped …

Review by Steve Payne for Chip Shot by 3D Magic Works

5 out of 5 I’m proud to say that I am the one who got Kent to make this prop by making him aware of another version that I own and pointing out improvements I’d like to see. Well, not only did he add those improvements, but included a few of his own. The result …

The Ragged School Slates (10th Anniversary) by Lebanon Circle Magic

If you ever wanted to freak out your audience these Ragged School Slates would be a fine way to achieve it 🙂 Although they have lots of programmable features, for me the routine that is included called The Foundling is just the ticket. I created a story about a tragedy that happened to the orphanage …

ACCF Prediction Box by Magic Wagon

This is a beautifully made teak prediction box from Magic Wagon.  The prediction method is well hidden and quite devious.  However, I’m not sure predicting a card is what I would use this box for – there are already so many ways to predict chosen cards already.  A better usage would be to predict something …

DragonScale by Penguin Magic

The first time I saw a similar effect to DragonScale was ten years ago with E.S.P. by LabcoMagic and I was suitably amazed with Soren Harbo’s beatuiful effect.  DragonScale has more features for about half the price but that is because you get to use the full power of your smartphone (iPhone or Android are …

Review by Andy Martin for Multiplying Bottles by Rings 'N' Things Magic Co.

5 out of 5 The Linking Rings were the product that gave Mike Brazill’s company it’s name. In 1969 Mike Brazill started making some beautiful Chinese Linking Ring sets in his basement in Jennings, Missouri – in his first year alone Mike and a helper turned out over a thousand sets of his “new design” …

Review by Steve Zigmont for The 19th Hole (Hole in One) by Daytona Magic

5 out of 5 The review as of 2024 is incorrect the 19th hole works beautifully no sagging automatic action probably an upgrade on the working beautiful wood. I love it so much. (Note from Andy Martin … August, 2024: Whilst I appreciate Steve’s enthusiasm for this product. I have to disagree on a number …
