I’ve owned a couple of the smaller versions of this beautiful effect, but this is the first one I have seen in Jumbo size and what a beauty it is. Wonderful trick where you have two card changes after cleanly showing a card securely embedded in the frame. Firstly, a large jumbo back changes color to Red and then the face of the card inside the plates changes to that of a chosen card. Hard to beat this bad boy and comes complete with all the extra cards and works like a dream!

Another clever idea by Tora Magic. You show 4 different color sides on the dice and whatever color they chose the dice changes to a solid die of that chosen color. The effect can re repeated as often as you want with zero reset. They do a lot with a basic idea here and there is no memory work as the color of the die tells you how to lift the lid. More to this than at first meets the eye. In fact, I think this could be made in a micro version and it would make a wonderful 4 way out prediction mechanism.

This is a wonderful double effect from Vienna Magic and the first time I have seen it in Jumbo size with a beautiful packing case. In effect you remove the mixed up dice from the box and show them on both sides – it clearly makes up garbage. Then a card is chosen and the dice are covered only to reveal the chosen card when removed. You try this again but this time the dice create an impossible card and amazingly the chosen card also matches. Very nice effect and beautifully made.

Joe Long and Paul Lembo are back creating some of the most amazing mechanical stage props from yesteryear. This beauty comes from a very rare item created by the mechanical genius himself: Ed Massey. It is a very deceptive production item that can produce a huge load from a cleanly shown empty box. With Paul Lembo’s magic touch, Ed Massey never looked so good!

An updated version of one of the finest block penetrations ever invented. Check out the videos to see how convincing and amazing this penetration is. Thomas really pulled out the stops on this beauty and the tolerances he is working with are amazing.

A very realistic and spooky looking spirit bell from Tim Wisseman. If you want an authentic looking spirit bell that is cheaper and easier to set-up than the amazing Spirit Bell released by Nick Wenger, then this would be it! Very reliable mechanism with a good range to really freak them out!

A wonderful close-up take on Winston Freer’s Magic Tile Puzzle. I particularly like the presentation I used that is based almost entirely on Meir Yedid’s wonderful presentation. This plays very well for all ages and audiences: kids love it, women love it, and men seem fine with it too!

I really like this production item from Tora, the double productions are very surprising. Each load chamber has plenty of room. The only issue I have is that the productions that come with it as standard are nowhere near enough to reproduce the picture on the case. So to get the most out of this you’ll probably need to add your own extra loads. Otherwise, great trick!

For over ten years Joe Long has worked with the talented craftsman Paul Lembo to bring us an incredible array of amazing magic that would otherwise be left forgotten on the shelves of just a handful of hard-core collectors worldwide.

When this item arrived on my desk I was very intrigued and although it often takes me months to get items on my site, this one I fast tracked today because I think it is one of the most amazing penetration effects I have ever seen. If you watch the video there is really no explanation to how this is possible.

And even better when you see how it is done you’ll be more than happy. This is one of those effects whose method is as good as the effect itself. There were only 15 of these made so if you can track one down you should because it is an amazing effect.

Highly Recommended for Collectors and Performers everywhere. Great job Joe and Paul!

To close out 2016 Magic Wagon pulled out all the stops to create this wonderful mechanical beauty! Impossible Coin Odyssey was inspired by Jack Hughes’ Visible Coins In Glass, Bob Kline’s Copenetro and Collectors’ Workshop Silver Odyssey and inspirational they were to produce such a clean and reliable visible coin penetration and appearance. A wonderful way to end another amazing year of magic from one of the worlds most prolific and beautiful collectible magic apparatus creators.
