Easy to do and very convincing.

This is a very clean and logical red and blue card trick that has shades of that old chestnut the Brainwave Deck, but which is easier to do, cleaner, and can be repeated.

You start by shuffling the deck face down. As you shuffle you and your audience notice that one card has a blue back. You say that is the Lone Stranger card. You place the stranger card on the top of the deck and turn the deck over to ask the audience to point to any of the face-up cards. They choose any card and it is immediately shown to be matching the blue Stranger card. Without any funny moves the effect can be repeated immediately.

Very clean and simple to do, just the way we like them so you can focus on that all important presentation and routine!

I’ve always been fascinated by Magic Squares

Ever since I was a teen I have been fascinated with Magic Square type effects, where any chosen number can be summed in almost every conceivable direction.

This is a perfect outfit for this effect with a method that takes a little bit of memory work, but which is far from requiring the mathematical genius that it appears to need.

And don’t you just love the magic that makes you look like a genius?!

Nicely made and convincing!

This is the handchopper to beat – the effect of the hand falling in is hard to improve on. The Delben Two Hole and The Karson Chopper are better but they are much more expensive. For the money this is hard to beat!

Nice Midi Squares and Circles

These are a nice set of Square Circles from that talented craftsman Mel Babcock. I would not call them mini since their size is still quite a lot larger than any of the Alan Warner pieces. However, if you are short on space they are a lot smaller than most of Mel’s other works.

These are nicely made, but I don’t think they are quite up to the same standards that his larger pieces are. Maybe I’ve been too spoilt by Mel in the past …

Still a great piece – buy two like I did for some cool close-up transpositions!

Who needs a Money Maker when you have this!

I’ve always liked the idea behind the Money Maker, Denver Mint, and all the money printing variations. But wouldn’t it be nice to sometimes print something different. This Preston Printer is large enough for silks, legal documents, predictions, and almost any small piece of paper or silk you can think of. It has 7 feet of roller space so you could easily do 2 or 3 changes.

It looks solid, more like a real printing press, rather than a toy. Well made and lots of potential for the performer!
