The prop is beautifully crafted and designed for stage or possibly parlor performances. It produces a bit of noise, and since it relies on black art, proper lighting is essential. It should also be used at a distance from spectators. The core concept is similar to methods commonly used in stage magic, and it definitely requires practice to perform smoothly. Moreover, in my opinion, this prop feels more like a collector’s piece.

Well done, Dave! The craftsmanship is excellent—flawless in every way—and everything can be handed over for the spectator to examine. No disrespect, but the inherent flaw in this trick is just too obvious. That strong sense of inconsistency stands out at first glance!

This cleverly crafted little magic trick has a bit of the coin version of the Cabala effect to it, which also brings along some angle issues. But, as the saying goes, you can’t have the best of both worlds, right?

This is a “colorful” little prop that creates an interesting effect with nowhere to hide. Willi’s instructions are detailed on how to perform it, and while it requires some practice, the feedback you get from it is definitely rewarding! By the way, the wand is a bit fragile, so it’s best to handle it with care.

This is an ingenious idea, cleverly using a box to achieve this stunning effect! The routine is convincing, and the wooden box is also well-made and sturdy. It does require some memorization, and if needed, the instructions suggest using a cheat sheet to help with this. The only complaint is that it doesn’t come with a stand, so you’ll need to find one that matches both the height and ‘style’ on your own.

Most of Mikame’s props are practical for real-world performances, but this one is an exception! The size of the box is just too hard to justify.

My favorite Mikame prop — simple and direct in effect. Even after the keyhole is moved, the chain can still be pulled, which is incredibly baffling. The prop itself can’t be examined, but it comes with an ungimmicked copy so you can hand it out.

This little trick uses an unusual method that makes it undetectable to spectators. The prop can be examined, and the performance can be repeated with no force involved. However, it’s a slight pity that the disc must be handed to the performer in order to make a prediction.

To the spectator, it feels more like a puzzle than a trick. To Alan Warner, it’s a love letter to collectors – a way to show off his incredible woodworking skills. The mechanism inside is so thin and well-crafted, it’s hard to believe it’s made of wood. There are no angle or noise issues, but with craftsmanship this good, those things just don’t matter anymore.

Magic Wagon has released too many ring penetration effects. If I remember right, this is the last one they’ve put out so far. I think most people are getting tired of it. The method has already been used in their earlier works. What surprises me is – since they’ve done this before, why not improve it? Especially since they made a beautiful tiger carving, but you can’t proudly show it to people. That just feels so weird!
