Ah Original, Quality Magic!

Harold Voit has marketed some great magic. This item and one of my other favorites, the Wandering Mummies, are both beautifully made, effective, and clever – a collector’s dream.

This particular piece, made by the German Master Craftsman Tony Lackner, is really a utility item, in that you can control what the hand points to – and it can be different each spin. But when you dress it up like this, the performance and story aspects really incease and you can perform some very impressive, and scary, magic. Perfect for bizarre performances, or any Alan Warner collector who is inspired by his Equptian themes.

Briefly the effect is: 6 items are chosen – these can be anything within reason, and laid around the stand. A spectator selects one and is handed the box with Cleoptra’s hand encased. The spectator removes the hand and places it on the base. They then spin it and as it spins it slowly comes to a stop and points to their chosen card. The key thing is that the spectator places and spins the hand themself without any interaction from the magician.

A very beautiful effect. Be wary of cheap knock-offs that have recently been offered, get the original that Joe Steven’s is now offering again.

High Quality, Clean, and Amazing

This effect is variation on a classic Al Koran routine and I must say how beautifully made the wallets are and how clean the whole effect is.

In performance, you show a deck of cards clearly to be all different. You show your wallet with a single card facing back towards them and a hundred Dollar bill. If you don’t get the prediction right they win the cash!

You ask them to simply count the cards face-up on to your hand and stop whenever they feel like it – there is no force. The card they stop at is the card used – you open your wallet and turn over the card (there is only one card in the wallet), and it matches their prediction. Now for the final suprise finish the wallet is turned over and printed in gold on the back of the wallet is the name of the card they chose.

Reset is a snap, and the result can be different between performances, so it can be done in a walk around situation.

The only down side with this effect is that you should ideally wear a jacket or something with large pockets, pant or shirt pockets are unlikely to be large enough.

The Number One Wolf is Back!

The cure for my magic doldrums is a healthy dose of beautiful magic from the true modern day master builder: Chance Wolf. I have been struggling of late as to what I should buy, what I should sell, and whether I should I just take a break from magic for a while.

Then along comes the Crazy Wolf and produces the cutest, most robust, brightest, fully functional, modern, micro collection I have ever had the pleasure to own. Every piece in the collection is a joy to behold and every detail has been thought out. I am not sure if I’ll ever perform them in a formal show, but that is not a great surprise because I have almost never performed any of my mini-magic effects from my good friend Alan Warner either.

The Genius of Chance is by making micro versions of his larger flagship products, they will certainly appeal not just to kids performers but to collectors of beautiful magic everywhere too. When you see the quality of the finish you absolutely have to have them. You can perform them too, which is almost too good to believe.

Wolf’s Magic is not only the #1 Leader in Innovative Children’s Magic, they are also the #1 Leader in Innovative Micro Magic too. They just keep getting better.

These would make beautiful presents for all of your magical friends so go order them now before they are all gone!

Most Highly Recommended!

Perfect Packet Trick!

This really is an amazing packet trick! The handling is very easy, the reset is almost automatic, and the effect can be repeated to the same audience.

It looks amazingly clean and all the cards are shown, with no strange counting. There are lots and lots of effects where you successfully predict 1 out of 4, but I am not sure if there are any cleaner than this beautiful effect. The patter fits the situation perfectly too. For 30 years I have been performing an effect using the same gaffs called Any Queen Called For, that I purchased from Ron MacMillan. Any Queen is a great packet trick too, however there have been times when I really wanted to show the faces of all the cards, and Entourage delivers and adds a wonderful kicker at the end.

It is already in my close-up bag for my Christmas shows.

Brilliant and Entertaining!

I have been intrigued by this effect for sometime now and I’m glad I finally have a copy. Wow, this is a very clever idea. The props are very well made and the method allows for an incredibly clean prediction.

It could be used to predict almost any 1, 2, 3, or 4 digit number, but I really like the horse race presentation that is featured in the instructions. When the magic is this strong, having it happen in an entertaining fashion is a plus. As opposed to having an entertaining routine where the magic is just so-so.

The method is easy to learn and do, and I will certainly be featuring this effect in my next big show.

Back again!

I sold this to a friend five years ago. At the time I was performing bigger shows with lots of props. But now this method and version of Casino Royale really appeals to me. Lucikly I was able to buy it back from my friend just last week!

The effect is very similar to the larger version, but the method is slightly different. And of course it uses a lot less props and is more suitable for smaller gatherings.

The only thing I did not like about this was that the chips it comes with are cheap red plastic and they don’t look like real poker chips. Luckily I had some other chips lying around and so I have switched them and now the effect is perfect.

The bills are laminated too, so they will last a lifetime of performances.

I still think Casino Royale is a wonderful triple prediction, but if you are short of space or are doing this really close-up then Casino Light is the way to go!

Beautiful and Different Boxes

One of the problems I have with some of the fine nest of boxes out there is that they look like something that just Magician’s would own. Well these boxes look like something from World Market – in fact I have a domino box that I actually bought from World Market that has the same design (sadly I could not find these boxes at World Market!).

So now you can do a wonderful version of the Nest of Boxes, using boxes that really could have been bought from a real store. This makes it all the more mystifying.

These boxes really are wondeful looking, and they work like a dream. They are also very well priced based on the prices that other sets of boxes seem to be fetching.

I must say how impressed I have been with the quality of the new Oriental line from Fantasma Magic – they may be known for their beginner’s line of magic, but these new items are a joy to behold and suited to the most demanding of professionals.

Highly Recommended!
