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.

One ahead eat your heart out!

This is a very clever application of the old one ahead principle, but dressed up so well you’d never guess. Easy to do. The basic effect is for the magician to reveal what a spectator freely wrote on a card and sealed in an envelope between two plates dangling from a chain.

Its simplicity and elegance will keep you kicking yourself!

Everyone Loves the Miller Ball Box!

Clarence Miller’s Ball Box is a great classic now – and this official version created by viking is even better.

Impossible as it seems the box is clearly shown empty and then in an instant it is filled with a sponge ball.

Very surprising and beautifully made.

Very Beautiful Set of Coin Boxes

If you’re into coin magic you can’t go far wrong than with these beautiful, heavy gold plated set from Viking Magic. George Robinson did a wonderful job in creating these. Only 50 were made I believe.

Add a touch of class to your coin act!
