SImple, Cunning, and Effective
This is a great piece of mentalism where you can always predict which domino they end up with. Nice props too!

Review by Andy Martin for Prophecy Pen by M. Sterling Goodheart III
Clever ruse that works!
This pen is gimmicked in such a way that you can demonstrate a clean prediction of what someone is about to draw. The pen is well made and although the method is somewhat bold I think that it has very real merit. Sometimes we can get hung up on convoluted solutions to bascially simple problems.

Review by Andy Martin for Magic Show Pistol by Magic Hands
Two Tricks in One!
This is pretty sweet … I almost sold it a while back, then got it out and realised how much fun it is! You start off by showing a deck of cards all different and having one chosen and lost back in the pack. Then you take some of the cards and stick them all over the wooden board.
You give the gun to a spectator to load and then start spinning the board, firing the gun as it spins. The card that is hit is there card!
Now, having shown how real the gun is you can move into the next feature: have the gun loaded again. Blow up a balloon and give the gun to the spectator to aim at the balloon – that is held in your mouth by your teeth. They shoot, the balloon pops and in your teeth is the feather dart!
Wow! This is fun after all! From the now defunct magic hands.

Review by Andy Martin for Astral by Alan Warner
Clean and Simple Transformation
This looks quite startling when you see it. You show a think piece of wood with a round circle in, drop it in the box and dangle a cord through the hole and through the circle. Spectator chooses one of the geometric shapes, and places it on the box. After they pull it through, the piece of wood now has the shape they choose instead of the circle.
Quite amazing!

Review by Andy Martin for Geometric by Alan Warner
This is direct and nicely made!
Show three symbols, specator choose anyone and the box is tipped open – with no funny moves. There is clearly only one prediction in the box, and it matches.
It’s that clean!

Review by Andy Martin for Trap Door Deck of Cards by Richard Gerlitz
Cheaper but still great!
Even when Richard spends some time down in the “cheap” seats, his stuff is still wonderful. This piece is no exception. The ring appears to just melt into the cards – and it does! Nice gimmick!

Review by Andy Martin for Psychic Sword by Collectors' Workshop
Beautiful Box – Great Prediction!
I always liked this effect from Collector’s Workshop. It works great and looks very convincing. There is even a logical reason for the box – to store the sword! Great!

Review by Andy Martin for Wooden Ghost Chest by Swiss Made
Nicely made clockwork chest!
This is a normal looking chest whose lid can eerily rise. Not sure what the best routine for it is, but it is a smooth, quiet operator and I’m sure if I ever sit down to think about it I’ll come up with some ideas!

Review by Andy Martin for Psychic Fire by Tom Yurasits
Instant fire from very innocent looking props!
This is a very well made effect with all the trimmings. Remote control, integrated charger, time based and remote based action

Review by Andy Martin for The Gallows by GL Magic
Very nice – but what do you do with it?
Well this is a very nicely made effect – bulb hangs from the string and you bring a light, match, or any light source close to it and the bulb will light up. Then a blow on the light and it goes out again. The unit can be examined and nothing can be seen to give it away. However, the problem I have with it is what do you use it for? Any ideas out there?
