Simple but so many uses!

If you want to move something and be nowhere near the table then this is the perfect gimmick from John Kennedy. So many uses come to mind, it is mind boggling! I use it for Plop Up, and it takes an interesting trick into a miracle!

Love the quality, the size, the speed, and the strength!

A great bit of Comedy for any bill routine

There are many types of candle on the market where the candle moves and burns the bill without the performer realising. This one from Collector’s Workshop is one of the better ones I have owned. It is very easy to reset, and the movement of the candle is not just slowly towards the bill. It actually moves away from the bill for a while too. The clockwork motor is silent. One of bonus with this version is that it uses a regular candle, so its easy to replace.

I like this prop!

Beautiful, Unusual, Funny, and Rare

This is a beautiful prop custom made based upon the Karrell Fox Man Eating Plant. It is very well made indeed and one day when I perform it I know it will cause a lot of commotion.

After a big build up you reveal the Man Eating Plant box, then after some byplay you are left with the spectators card partially bitten in one of the many sets of chomping teeth. Or something like that!

Max Maven is very Clever!

I think this is a very ingenious effect: a spectator freely chooses any one of the cards in the deck – all with different shapes on – and you immediately can tell them your card without having to touch or riffle through the deck.

It works by a very clever use of a old card principle – that defies detection. I like this a lot!

Two Rune Prediction with a Snappy Climax!

You show a bag of Runes and ask a specatator to grab a handful to ensure they are all different. Then you make a prediction and place it in the spirt box for safe keeping.

Now the first spectator freely chooses any rune from the bag and places it on the table. You now make your second prediction before the second rune is chosen and place it again in the spirit box for safe keeping.

The Second spectator freely chooses his rune and places it on the table. You now ask the first spectator to pay the spirts in the Spirit Box for looking after the predictions. They place a half dollar in the box and … wallop it explodes giving the spectator and those viewing a well needed surprise!

In the debris of the box are two predictions: both of which match the spectator’s choices.

So much beautiful magic!

When I first saw this I wasn’t sure how strong each effect in the set was. As usual however, Alan Warner very plesantly surprised me! This really is a beautiful set of small close-up magic.

Maybe the individual pieces don’t have the strength of some of Alan’s larger items, but the magic is still very strong. And the outfit is just a delight to have!

Thank-you as always Alan for producing some wonderful works of art.

Stull watch outdone!

This really is the king of the prediction watch effects. Made in his own perfectionist style by Richard Gerlitz.

You can very cleanly predict the exact time they will stop at as they twist the hand. This is made with a genuine 1915 vintage Waltham 14 k Hunting watch.

Great Concept – Beautifully Made

This is a wonderful variation on the old coin slide. The finely made wooden slide has been built in the shape of a packing case to do the classic Substitution trick. The quarter is placed on top of the box and the penny inside the slot and they very cleanly change places.

The instructions are in German. This is a beautiful piece.
