Review by Andy Martin for Card Case 20 by Alan Warner
4 out of 5
Now This is a Card case!
Alan Warner, the master, always likes to put a spin on an old classic. Here he does just that with fine teak woods and up to 3 changes. How does he make such fine woodwork? That is the true magic!
Review by Andy Martin for Bill Tube (Deluxe) by Viking Mfg., Brema

Fine Brass Work
Very nice bill tube from Viking. I have had so many different bill tubes and bill tube like effects over the years and recently sold them all. But this one I kept because it is very well made, looks beautiful, and maybe one day I’ll even perform it!

Small but Nice
The Pom Pom Prayer Stick has always been one of my favorities. This one is a well made close-up version. To my mind better mechanism than the close-up Mikame one that is floating around these days.

Fun and Startling Kids Trick
Great kids trick with entertaining patter outline by Ali Bongo. In the end the Candy Cane visibly dissappears and it its place is a tube full of candy.
Very startling and of course the kids love anything when candy is produced!
Review by Andy Martin for Card on Ceiling by Michael Ammar
5 out of 5
One of my Favourites!
Well, the video of me doing this is old and not very good, but the effect on the audience when done correctly is astounding. The card that stuck on the ceiling in the video was there for 6 years until we moved and I decided to take it down. Always a great conversation piece – imagine your card being left in a local restaurant!
Simple to do, but takes practice to get the knack. But once mastered its a real show stopper. As a tip always have a back-up way to produce the card, just in case you miss the ceiling!
Review by Andy Martin for The Chair by Creative Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great bit of business for kids!
Well, its appears to be a simple chair that takes a knack to put together, but you can have a lot of fun with it. We’ve all dealt with these types of chairs in clubhouses, etc. so the audience feels with you! Everytime you think you’ve got it set-up it crashes down again.
Comes with a deatailed routine, of which I took a few items for my routine.
Review by Andy Martin for Lucky Lady by Ton Onosaka
5 out of 5
This is great fun and really works!
Well this is way more than the old pin the queen trick. I did it on my kids over the weekend and they loved it. You can keep pinning the queen they cannot, and then in the end you ask them to close their eyes and they finally do pin the queen, but only because it has changed to one jumbo queen.
This effect from Alan Warner is simple in plot: the domino keeps twisting over in the small wooden cover and in the end the spots jump to both sides. But it is very clean in execution with no funny moves, which make it an entertaining piece of magic.
As usual, you can always rely on Alan Warner to create great magic with great looking props.
