This is Michael Baker’s version of Mazda Magic’s Watch Out invented by Glen Gloye c. 1947. Michael released his first version c. 2015 called Time & Again Watch Cabinet and this version with the added matching drawer box (at my request) c. 2023. And what a beautiful job he has done 🙂 Now you can …
The Fantastic Frame was invented by the prolific English inventor and creator Eric C. Lewis c. 1937, though Eric didn’t produce it commercially until 1947. It is described in great detail starting on page 42 in Eric’s wonderful book A Continuation of Miracles. It has been created by a number of builders over the years …
5 out of 5 The Cork Penetration was invented by Eddy Taytelbaum and there have been many versions over the years including these ones (though I’m missing the wonderful version released by the talented Frenchman François Danis). As is often the case Eddy’s version is still the gold standard but this is a very nice …
5 out of 5 This effect was invented by Harlan Tarbell and built by Ireland Magic c. 1941. It was first described in book form in Vol. 4 of The Tarbell Course c. 1945. This adorable version follows Harlan’s description closely and is made perfectly by Michael Baker. The Ireland Magic version was made in …

5 out of 5 When I first saw Michael Baker’s Zen and Again on his website I was very excited because I thought he had taken Loyd’s Bunko Blocks and added some beautiful boxes with an Oriental theme to create the perfect set for a Bunko Blocks Deluxe effect. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed …
5 out of 5 Michael Baker creates some beautiful magic, but you have to love his mini effects. I’ll be the first to admit his larger die boxes such as the Oriental See-Through Block Box and the Oriental Twin Die Boxes are going to take your breath away even more, but this little guy is …
5 out of 5 This is a time-honored classic piece of magic apparatus first created in the 1870’s and know for many years as “Jap Box“, though that name has fallen out of favor in recent times. It can be used for productions, vanishes, color changes, and any combination of those. There are many sources …
5 out of 5 More exceptionally beautiful magic from the talented Michael Baker! These beautiful little boxes might not rival Richard Gerlitz’s masterpiece, but they are still amazing, much cheaper and have a unusual method that I’ve only see on the Lock Nest Boxes by Tom Yurasits. These guys are also small enough to be …
It seems to me that every builder of quality painted stage props over the last 40 years has tried to equal the finish achieved by the amazing Milson-Worth. I don’t know any builder who has done that yet, but I would say that Michael Baker has come as close as I have seen with this …
