Review by Andy Martin for Block Production Box by Mel Babcock
4 out of 5
Much better than a hat!
The great thing about this beautiful box by Mel Babcock, is that you can show it empty put it down and reproduce your die or block without having to load it with the die. Saves all that putting the die in the hat and taking it out again. Simple and beautiful!

Can’t keep a good man down!
Larry Becker seems to have endless variations on one of his signature effects! This is a lighter weight and cheaper version of his now famous Casino Royale – slightly different and refined methods. Either version is still very effective. Keep them coming Larry!

Non-Gimmicked cards with Amazing Properties!
Nothing like finding gimmicks in the natural world. People like Larry Becker must just constantly be looking for some ruse in everything they touch. This deck, though 100% normal and direct from the manufacturer, has some interesting properties that Larry has discovered that make it very useful from a number of mentalist effects.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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!
