Review by Todd Reis for Impossible Penetration by Clarence Miller, Viking Mfg.
5 out of 5
Great effect!
You can have a lot of fun with this one. They are very well made. I’ve had mine for years and use it often. Just don’t hurry the presentation and don’t let the spec remove their finger too soon before they can savour the ending moment.
Review by Andy Martin for Genius of Robert Harbin by Eric Lewis
5 out of 5
Robert Harbin was a Genius!
This is a great book for all of us who can’t afford Harbin’s original. Gives a real useful insight into one of the few great minds in the magic industry. Highly recommended!
Review by Andy Martin for Coin Classic by Collectors' Workshop
5 out of 5
Easy and Truly Mystifying
If you perform this correctly, this is about as magical as it gets. A small amout of practice will leave you with one of the finest effects from the Collector’s Workshop stable – without selling your home!
Quite simply, 4 coins audibly penetrate the bottom of the class and a card case one by one. Very sweet!
(Thanks to Art Begun for reminding me how good this effect is.)
Review by Andy Martin for Fall Apart Chair (Ghost Chair) by Mephisto-Huis
5 out of 5
The best!
This is by far the best Fall Apart Chair I have seen. It matches Mephisto’s Fall Apart Table and is very solid. The electronics are undetectable even under close examination. Just beautiful!
(The video does not do it justice since it was a a rubber base floor which really gripped the feet!)
Review by Andy Martin for Monster Spring Snake by Unknown
5 out of 5
12 Feet of Monster!
If you’re going to produce a spring snake make it look scary and large. This baby is 12 feet long, and has a rattle in its tail too! Great fun, and actually looks like a snake, rather than a spring in a sack!
Review by Andy Martin for The Magic Box by Arlen Studio
5 out of 5
Well this makes you feel very special! Beautiful!
I was in two minds about buying just a pretty box/table particularly at this price. But when you see this baby, your heart melts. It is bigger than you would expect, and provides a perfect working surface for performing. It also has plenty of room inside to store cards, coins, and everything magical. Even above the mirror there is space for cards and other small items. Also the door that folds down has felt on it to layout cards.
Arlen Studios advertise themselves as Magic Handcrafted by Magicians for Magicians. Well this was clearly thought out by a magician. Very strongly recommended.
Also, contrary to some dealers comments having nice equipment won’t make you a good magician. But having a box like this might just intice you to put together a great close-up routine that fits neatly inside. Having put together the effects, you’ll find practicing them much easier and more enjoyable. And all that might just make you a better magician!
Wonderful finish, very solid. This box is not overpriced at all. I wish the photos could do justice to it. Keep an eye on Arlen Studios for more wonderful, original magic. Their track record so far is outstanding!
Review by Andy Martin for Oriental Square Circle by Mel Babcock

Beautiful and Functional
When you want a square circle production box is it not better to have one that looks real pretty too? Thank-you Mel Babcock for this very beautiful and functional piece.
Review by Andy Martin for See Thru Block Box by Mel Babcock
5 out of 5
Just unbelievelable!
Its hard to imagine where the block goes – but baby it sure does go! This is a heavier and better quality one than the Mikame Craft one that is currently doing the rounds. Great job as ever by our guy Mel Babcock!
I really like this box from that nice guy Dean Dill – some people criticise it for not being new – but I think Dean is quite open where he got his ideas from and this is a wonderful effect. You have to learn the routine but the handling is not difficult. And the finish on the box is outstanding!
