5 out of 5 One of my favorite glass penetrations is the Glass (Quadruple) Penetration that was invented by Peter Warlock in 1937. It is sometimes known as the English Glass Penetration and there have been a number of versions created, even as recently as 2008 when Magic Wagon created their Mod Quad Penetration. It …
Shamrock Magic were a big deal c. 2001. They were producing some wonderful custom magic out of wood and brass and just as they seemed to be getting into their groove, they vanished, almost as quickly as they came. c. 2016 they popped up on ebay again and this beauty was acquired at that time. …
_EF This is a well-known classic of magic. A decorative box and a colorful tube are shown individually empty and unprepared. They are assembled upon a base, the tube within the box. Immediately, a substantial production of silks is made. This is the perfect size for smaller shows, or for the collector of mini magic. …
_EF Sometimes referred to as a “hand” chopper, I’m using the title given by Dr. Albo in his Classic Magic Series. And since Bill King included one of these in his famous collection of finger choppers, I think it’s accurate. This is a chopper that works like no other. Consider this presentation. Performer displays a …
It’s always a joy to pick-up release from the MagicCrafter himself: Brian Cook, and even better when it is a rare sold-out release like this beauty. What a wonderful idea to embed a real Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar into the the lid of this unique Okito box, and there are only 6 of these …
Another amazing beauty from the talented Craig Beytien and his Illusion Arts Magic. _EF An Okito inspired tear-apart vanish or production in reverse. This very attractive illusion includes both a decorative stand and table-top box that can accommodate small livestock or other productive items.
It is not clear who invented the original version of the Prayer Vase but ads started appearing in the 1930’s. Davenport’s called it the Demon Enchanted Vase (c. 1934), Floyd Thayer called it The Chinese Jug and Rope (c. 1936) and Abbott’s called it The Oriental Vase Mystery (c. 1936). In the Abbott’s adverts they …
_EF The Ultimate Okito Encore completes Dr Robert Albo’s trilogy of books devoted to Okito and the Bamberg Dynasty. This is a deluxe volume, HB in acetate jacket with 56 pages in lavish full color of apparatus, photographs, letters and other memorabilia associated with Okito and the Bamberg Dynasty that have not been published previously. …
Most ordinary Tip-Over boxes are limited because of poor spectator sight lines. Your audience must be directly in front of the chest with no view of the sides, or you must perform very, very far upstage which looks sort of suspicious and dumb. The huge improvement from the collaboration between performer/inventor Okito (Theo Bamberg) and …
The Blue Phantom was invented by Viennese magician Hans Trunk c. 1924 who called it “Das blaue Wunder” (The Blue Wonder). It was introduced to the USA c. 1930 by Thayer Quality Magic as “The Blue Phantom” and it became an instant hit, and has been doing well ever since. It is also known as: …
