Review by Andy Martin for Hydro Die by Unknown, Magiro
5 out of 5
Solari put me right on this one!
It took me a while to work out how this baby works – but once I put my mind to it I realised how wonderful this is. It is a very clean vanish of the die in the tube that is filled with water. A couple of subtleties make this an incredible effect.
One of my favourites now! Thanks to Bob Solari for pointing this effect out for me.
Review by Andy Martin for Flight of the Falcon No. 25 by Alan Warner
5 out of 5
Very Beautiful and Magical
To celebrate 25 years of Alan Warner Mini Magic, the Flight of the Falcon was created as a limited edition of just 25 units. I sneaked in under the wire and picked up the last unit. My thanks to George Guerra for informing me of this effect.
Well Alan really let his hair down on this masterpiece. The wood work is exquisite as always, but more intricate than usual with some wonderful inlaid work. Lots of color too, all in a beautiful presentation case.
The effect is simple: any one of the 3 chosen falcons dissappears from the casket and into the Reliquary. No force is involved and it can be repeated with a different outcome on another occaision.
Thank-you Alan for continuing to maintain such high standards.
An interesting patter line that can be pulled off with some work. Or choose a different story! The effect is easy enough: you take out the intriciate bar and close the box. Then suddenly they switch places and the plain one is in your pocket with the intricate one back in the box.
Review by Andy Martin for Kryptic Keys by Alan Warner

Colorful and Interesting Transformation
Here’s a nice one from Alan Warner. You show 7 keys quite cleanly one at a time, and a plain key fob.
Then you count the days until you end up with one for today’s date and notice that the key has now been cut out and is missing, only to be found attached to the key fob.

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.
