I Love Factory Printed Gimmicks!
This is similar to the FA-KO Deck and comes with an impressive selection of gimmicked cards factory printed on Bicycle stock. It doesn’t come with as many routines as the FA-KO Deck, but there are certainly some usuable routines here.
Plus it gives you some cool new cards to play with to invent other new routines!

Great Quality, Easy and Convincing Routine
This is probably one of the best of the standard gimmicked coin sets and a nice quality set it is too. Instant reset and you are left clean at the end.
Not a lot more to say, except that you will use this set of coins, unlike all those others you have lining your draws!

Not Mystery Box, but better sometimes!
Ok so when you first recieve this box you are going to be looking for some cool gimmick. You initially will be dissappointed as the box is totally ungimmicked.
However, it is designed very well and has some very specific properties that allow you to basically do what you can do with John Kennedy’s marvellous Mystery Box and quite a lot more. Because it is ungimmicked you can’t be quite as clean as the Mystery Box allows, however if you can handle the Mystery box I don’t think that will be a problem for you. And there are three big pluses over the Mystery box: you can use it for any playing card, business card or other billet like slip, it requires no reset and it is half the price. John Kennedy does provide Money Mystery Box and the Prediction Mystery Box but now you need 3 boxes to do each effect. With the Tibetan Wishing Box – you just need the one.
I am a big fan of the Mystery Box and have performed it for years. I won’t give up using it either – in fact I do a routine with 3 boxes and it kills! However, because of the benefits this box has I could see myself using it initially for various other effects and might even find myself doing it in place of the Mystery Box over time.
It comes with a good set of detailed and photo illustrated instructions too.

Clever Mr. Dobson!
Wayne Dobson has a great set of routines to breath live into you himber or Z-Fold wallet. The wallet that comes with this set is a very nice leather wallet and quite small. The instructions are also very detailed and laid out in a very pleasing manner.
It is perfect for playing card and business card effects. I for one will be performing 2 or 3 of the routines that come with this great value product!

The Exquisite Joy of Mel Babcock at his Finest!
When it comes to Die Boxes, Mel Babcock really is in a league of his own. If you have never experienced the giddy feeling you get when you receive one of his packages you are truly missing out on one of Magic’s great experiences!
This latest version of the Die Box, based on an old Thayer design, is surely the best Die Box Mel has ever made. As with his standard Die Box, the weight and feel of the box is perfect. You have to hold it to really appreciate how well it sits and works in your hands. All the actions are incredibly smooth.
Now for the extra features – the doors and ends of the box have inlayed wood panels which truly look beautiful. In addition you are supplied with two brightly colored and superbly painted dice, which during the course of the routine change places and finally change into two dice of totally different color.
I can’t express how wonderful I felt as I opened my package today – but as far as early Christmas presents go, there is no finer!
A wonderful, wonderful piece of craftsmanship.
Highly recommended!

Still incredible!
Some times when you receive a new magic effect the reviews are overly gushing with enthusiasm, only to find when you sit down and play with the effect more that they are not quite all what they are cracked up to be.
It has been about 14 months since I purchased the Predator Wallet and I have used it many times since my initial review. I can honestly say that it is my secret weapon when I want that killer effect to really blow them away. I nearly always end my close-up act with this now and just know I will leave them speechless.
Yes I do perform the "Psycho Killer" effect, and I know you could perform many other great effects, but for me it is just about perfect.

This totally wows them!
I was performing this just the other night and had forgotten how utterly amazing it is to watch. I have been a fan of Wild Card for over 30 years and now I perform this instead.
Although it requires the same basic moves as Wild Card, to the spectator more magic happens as they appear to mentally choose the card that eventually all the cards change to. Also, because you start of with 2 sets of 5 different cards it also seems a bit more amazing.
Highly recommended!

Note to self, Cheap is Bad!
Ok I know not to buy the cheap imports from India, but sometimes you forget and a product looks nice on a web page …
This clock actually looks ok when you receive it. But it’s really not a practical implementation. You can hear something turning when you turn the clock hands (that is not the hands) and if you put it on a table the box actually moves!
It was cheap and a good reminder that quality comes at a price. In this case the price is a totally unusable effect!

Sadly, this is no Al Goshman!
Well this is a nicely produced set of salt shakers from Mikame. They have one primary goal – to make us all look as good as Al Goshman! Well not really, but at least they try to make his signature effect (Salt & Pepper Shaker, Page 39, Magic by Gosh) possible for mere mortals.
To replace all the sleights required for Mr. Goshman’s effect including: The Edge Palm, The Classic Palm, The Clink Pass, The Coin Roll and The Toss Vanish amonst others is a tall order for any mechanical device. And of course even then you just have the mechanics, you’ll never get close to his Performance!
But if you want to produce coins seemingly at will beneath the salt shaker without sleight of hand then this is the outfit that is meant to do it. And when I first tried it out, I tapped four times and each time one coin appeared and I thought wow, this is cool! Unfortunately, as I played with the props more sometimes no coins appeared and other times two or three appeared. So the skill required is knowing how hard to tap. Unfortunately I fear that you will always be worried about the wrong number of coins appearing.
Which leads you back to practicing the actual sleights so you can in fact control precisely when coins appear. So my advice is to buy the Goshman book (for less than these shakers) and practice the effect as it was meant to be seen. This is one item that I don’t feel comfortable leaving to mechanical means.

Wow! What a Deck!
This has to be one of the finest gimmicked decks I have ever seen. Sean Taylor has really thougt this through so that not only can this be used for a multiude of new and different mentalism effects, it will work well with many, many standard card effects too.
It is really hard to fault the manufacture, thought, and design that went into this deck. The ad copy you read about this incredible deck is spot-on and you will probably end up buying two decks!
I love it!
