A Beauty

This may be Richard Gerlitz’s finest creation to date. La Glace Liquide is simply gorgeous in every respect…in aesthetics, in charm, in engineering, and in operation.

Of course, it’a also a devastating illusion: the silk seems to dematerialize into the solid mirror. No trace, no remnant, no clue…Pure magic!

I can’t imagine how many man-hours went into creating and building this mini-illusion. My hat goes off to Gerlitz on this one.

A Rattle Box You Will Use

I just received Craig Brooks’ new "21st Century Rattle Box," and I am so impressed by it on so many levels. First, its a beautiful box made of gorgeous hardwoods…it looks like a box you would buy at an Art Fair. Beautiful yet innocent looking…definitely not "gimmicky" in any way whatsoever.

The size is perfect. It’s very small. Not the old "big box" design of the past. Craig really thought this size issue through when he designed this.

Finally, the rattle mechanism is completely unique…this is another new design feature that Craig came up with for acheiving the rattle sound. And it resets instantly.

This is a Rattle Box that you will actually use in performance. This really is the 21st Century rattle box!

Highly Recommended.

A Great Collectible

I know that the Snapper is a very old effect, and many consider it to be part of "the slum magic" category…but I must say that it is still an incredibly baffling effect to the non-initiated. I have fond memories of the first Snapper I purchased at a Carnival as a child (yes, many, many years ago)…I fooled more people with that little item than I could ever remember.

All of which brings me to the Enchanted Snapper…it is extremely well made…a collector’s piece for the nostalgia in all of us. I have this on my magic shelf to remind me of all the great moments I had as a child with the Snapper. I even bring it out now and again to mess with the minds of people who ask what that little item is on my shelf.

If you are looking for a collectible that carries the nostalgia of the past, I highly recommend the Enchanted Snapper.

The Very Best

These are the finest card guards on the market…Period. They will keep your deck perfectly flat and protected at all times and, yet, are still light and efficient to handle. I cannot recommend these more highly…they really are the best.
