This is also one of my favorite Magic Wagon tricks as it can be performed close up and many spectators and magicians will be fooled. It is a well designed trick from Magic Wagon and one of my favorites to perform close up.

Agree with Andy on this one. Yes, electronic, but I was able to get one here in the states and am very happy for it. Just love it. Performed it for only a couple of times as I am more of a collector than a performer. Only for friends and fun, but as the last reviewer said, I have never in my years of collecting magic wagon products seen this up for sale. I bought mine from a collector in California and couldn’t be happier with it. Greatest trick I think they made!

I don’t even know why I am giving this a review on top of Andy’s that I always enjoy. Again, I agree with him, one of the better tricks magic wagon came out with and always enjoyable. I don’t have the Ultimate version, but was lucky enough to purchase this one from Tony Curtis in the UK, but to say I am happy, you bet. The trick is totally organic and your free from distraction, only or perform like a performer and not worry about audience management or any of that. It is a simple trick that will amaze your friends and family (I love Tony’s website), but I am not a professional magician) Only for family and friends, no money. This one is a favorite of mine from Magic Wagon!

Omar Ferret’s cup is the same as many others I have seen but it is unclear when these were introduced, certainly the 1980’s but could have been much earlier. Possibly derived from the Chop Cup, with the important distinction that for most of these Coin Cups when they are loaded you can still look inside the cup. This is a big difference and useful when creating routines. The other key detail about this type of cup (just like the Chop Cup) is they can be thoroughly examined because it is only when they are combined with a suitably gimmicked coin that they become effective. There is no adding or stealing of other cups and most effects can be done without any real sleight of hand. Of course the beauty of a utility item like this is when you blend it with just a small amount of sleight of hand you can look like a real master.
Omar’s is a really solid and thick aluminum cup and coin gimmick from Cuban Magician Omar Ferret. This one comes with no routine, but it is much better quality than the Johnny Wong Cup. It can be used for penetrations, transformations, vanishes, and appearances.

From the mid 1980s to early 2000s I used this in nearly 2,000 shows until my car got rear ended and this was in the trunk and got crushed beyond repair. Fortunately, I got another in mint condition.
This sets up in 45 seconds if you are new at it, but 15 seconds once used to it. I carry my props in a large suitcase and put the table top with nested shelves in the inside top of the suitcase and carry it in one hand and the table, which folds (nearly) flat in the other. The three shelves are great (you can’t easily adjust the width). This table is lightweight but sturdy. I love it!

This item was originally created by Rich Bloch and released in limited quantities by Rich himself c. 2009. It is now being made perfectly by George Robinson. This is the later version built by George and they are currently unavailable.
Apart from being a very clever idea and a beautifully made prop what I really like about this effect is that Rich has blended all the moves into a very smooth sequence. If you follow the directions it will allow you to perform a miracle without any real heat on you. The action is done at the least expected moments and you are left looking clean and magical.

Since 2016, Mad Jake Jr. and his brother Frederick have been growing their company Airship Magic into a successful magic manufacturing and distribution company. Jake focuses mainly on the metal and coin work and Frederick on the wood work and turning. They also collaborate with smaller, and often unknown, craftsmen to bring a unique line of magic that you rarely find elsewhere in the industry. Their commitment to quality and innovation is high and I’ve been very happy with the products I have purchased from them directly and through Stevens Magic. Just browsing through their website you will find all sorts of cool items that you won’t find elsewhere.
This item is my favorite version of Magiro’s beautiful classic Hydro Die and unlike many of the others that have been released over the years this version stays true to the small form factor that is so key to the success of this illusion. Although some builders, notably Magic Wagon and also Jake Jr. himself have created some very popular versions, to my mind they are too ornate and large which detracts from the actual simplicity and beauty of the illusion.
This one built by Frederick is perfect and works smoother than even the original. It uses a nice blood wood base and lid to keep collectors happy, but otherwise closely follows Magiro’s original. It works perfectly.

Mike Gallo published his Ball & Vase routine in the November 1983 issue of Richard Kaufman’s Almanac. The routine does not use any shells and was performed using the trusty Adams Ball and Vase sets. Mad Jake Sr. turned a beautiful Rosewood Ball & Vase for Mike Gallo c. 2006. This design by Mad Jake Sr.’s son, Frederick, follows his fathers design and is made in Exotic African Mahogany. And what a beauty it is. Comes with no routine just the vase and two red balls and one black ball.
