Was I am impressed!

This may appear a simple effect but once you own one and know it’s method, your’re in for a surprise. The method, though “standard” is beautifully disguised in this piece and it will leave those in the “know” scratching their heads. The operation is simple and practically automatic. The workmanship is, without saying, superb.

Still one of my all time Favorites!

I have been performing this effect for 30 years, and I still think it is one of my favorite effects. Done slowly and deliberately it is just amazing to the audience as the cards slowly but surely change from one card to the other.

To do it cleanly it certainly takes practice, but the sleights involved are very basic. A novel twist and I think a worthy enhancement to the basic Wild Card is ESPecially Wild.

These boxes are a reputation maker.

The boxes are very well made from select hard woods. They are made so they can be handled by the magician alone. No assistant needed. I cannot say enough about this Viking product. They are becoming harder to find so if you have ever thought of adding a nested box routine to your show this is the one to own. The handling is remarkabley easy and this one will keep them at the ultimate WOW factor. Andy’s pictures really don’t do the justice to the beauty of these fine pieces or craftsmanship.

A Definite Addition to any Collection

I own both the Viking version and this Clarence Miller original. I like them both, but the “two-tone” contrast between the walnut and the basswood creates one beautiful prop. This one is well built and works smoothly like the Viking model. I haven’t been too impressed with some of Clarence Miller’s props. I have at least three that I removed from my collection, but his Impossible Penetration is probably his best in workmanship. He always personally signs and serial numbers his work…a nice touch. I wouldn’t part with it. Get it, even if you already own the Viking one.

Deceptive! Deceptive! Deceptive!

Finally! A mirror box that is not tacky looking! Though the item is one of our exclusives, my opinion is completely unbiased. Arlen Studios did a fantastic job in the manufacture of this prop. The fact that the gimmick is actually removed in front of the spectators is brilliant! The load chamber can hold other items should you not care to perform the routine that is provided. It’s large enough to hold a dove. The gold leafing on the boxes sides brings a classy look to the prop.

Eerie effect to watch

I have owned this little gem from CW for years and it’s probably the one effect from CW that I have performed the most. It’s eeire and entertaining to watch. The sudden movement of the pen as it rotates looks so magical. It’s self-contained and all mechanical. Not an electronic effect. Beautiful brass mechanism is admirable.

A true close up collector’s piece

I like this effect alot. Granted it is expensive, but very limited and beautifully made. I actually couldn’t figure out how the magic happened and fooled myself the first time I used this. Basically the dice are placed into the box by the spectator, shook, and the numbers added up. This is done again. And, once again. All numbers are added up and it is found that the total matches a written prediction that was in full view of the audience at all times. Very diabolical. This is not a sure shot box. Baffling.

Another beauty from Richard Gerlitz

I received this piece shortly after Richard released it and it’s a nicely done piece of magic. His “bigger” items are expensive, so it’s nice to see the more “affordable” stuff as a break. These are all limited edition and serially numbered pieces, which makes them collectible. The prop is plastic but well made. The Okito style decal is beautiful. The effect is a prediction of the total on three dice after several shakes in the box. The method is clever and the prop accomplishes the effect without any struggle on the magician’s part.

Nice props but great patter

Another “inexpensive” item from the workshop of Richard Gerlitz. The props are nice but what sells this piece is the beautifully thought out patter and routine. It’s quite entertaining and a real fooler. It has never failed to leave that awe look on people at the end of the routine. Again, this item is a limited edition and serially numbered effect, so it will not be available for a long time. There are probably a handful left as I write this.
