Beautiful!

The Denver Money Maker is a beautiful piece of workmanship from Owen Magic. The brass mechanics of a printing press mounted on a a walnut base makes a gorgeous piece of magic apparatus to display in your home or office. The Money Maker effect has long been around, and the Denver Mint Money Maker is one of my favorite display pieces. A nice piece of magic using blank paper to "print" money before your eyes as the blank paper goes through the "printing press".

If you are a collector and would like to have a unique and beautiful piece of magic to grace your office or home, then get this.

A Winner!

This is one of my all time favorite tricks to perform. Dean Dill has produced a beautiful box that enables you to perform seemingly impossible miracles with two ropes that link under seemingly impossible conditions. This fools magicians. The working of the ropes linking inside the box is so diabolical and clever that you love performing this routine that Dean demonstrates on his instructional DVD. The box is beautifully made, and I recommend it highly.

Dean Dill is one of my favorite magicians, and he is as creative and clever as he is a genuinely nice guy.

Beautiful!

The Chink-A-Chink has always been a favorite effect of mine, and I have a couple of other sets in my collection. This is a beautiful, precision made set by James Riser that is made to look like weights for a scale; hence, it fits perfectly with a story set in the Gold Rush days of the 1890s. The weights are perfectly made and balanced, and the shell is virtually indetectable because of Mr. Riser’s design. The shell fits perfectly and easily on any of the weights, and the brass shell is very sturdy so that it won’t be easy to dent. The accompanying DVD shows a couple of different performances and gives excellent instructions for performing this classic effect.

I highly recommend this if you like this effect and would like to learn it. The brass weights are beautiful, and you will enjoy performing them and working up your own story to suit your tastes and style.

Really Cool

Richard Sanders is a prolific and creative magician who has released some outstanding effects in recent months. This one is really fun to perform and is a mind boggler to the spectator. Bills instantly change denominations right before the spectators’ eyes; the performer counts the bills fairly to show them as being ordinary.

Richard is a great teacher and he goes to great lengths in his DVD instructions to explain each detail of making the bills and then covers several routines to perform, going through every move and detail. Making the bills is no big deal, and is a one-time deal. Then you’re ready for performing without any big setup.

I highly recommend it if you like money magic and like to carry magic with you to perform on a moment’s notice. Great for performing at the bar or on the street or a night out with friend. They’ll remember you with this one.

Diabolical and Beautiful

This is a beautifully crafted chest that is another exemplary effort by George Robinson of outstanding magic that is a wonderful addition to any collection. Besides being beautiful to look at and handle, it is a diabolical effect. George continues to amaze me with his craftsmanship and attention to detail in everything he makes. A great effect that really knocks them off their feet!

I highly recommend this to the collector and the performer.

Excellent and Cool

You will love this effect. Everything about it is true to the description. A glass of water is shown and looks normal in every way. The magician stirs the water in the glass with his finger and then reaches in the glass and pulls out an ice cube. Then another, and then a handful of ice cubes. Then another handful. This is something I would expect to see on a TV Magic Special. It is really fun to do and requires a set up in advance…but it is well worth it. It will enhance your reputation as a magician. The trick is easy to do…like most effects, just focus on the presentation. No one will figure it out.

Get it. I highly recommend it.

Outstanding and Exquisite

This chest is absolutely perfectly finished and precision made like a fine jewelry box. It is so beautiful that one would never suspect it is uniquely designed to accomplish a magic trick. The effect involves the appearance of a marked half dollar previously vanished and now found buried in coffee beans and visible only with a ribbon sticking out of the beans when the chest is opened. The coin is held in a clip inside the beans. I love finely finished boxes, and this chest is as beautifully finished and perfectly crafted as any you will ever find.

This is a prize to my collection and will be to yours if you choose to get it. Highly recommended.

Wonderful!

I love Francois’ Paddle Set. The one I have incorporates both the Egyptian and the Geisha designs. The craftsmanship is wonderful, and as I have said before, Francois’ passion and love of magic shows in the pieces I have from him.

Each paddle is crafted with beautiful artwork that enables you to tell a story with each paddle. The mahogany box to house the paddles is also beautifully crafted, and I love having it to display on my desk or shelf. The box also is of such high quality that it makes me strive to think of some magic to perform using just the box itself.

Francois is passionate about all of his magic, and I would recommend his magic to any collector or person who is also passionate about quality magic. I already have several pieces, and I will continue to acquire everything he makes.

Exquisite Craftsmanship

This item is gorgeous to look at and hold. The Magic Wagon folks have crafted this magic piece that is just exquisite in every way, from the precision fitting of all the pieces, the inlaid wood design, the interior of the box and the beautiful mirror finish. Everything fits together perfectly. The finish is like a fine piano.

I like the effect of the rope penetrating the block, and it is quite easy to set up and perform. It looks great in an office on a shelf or on display at home amidst other pieces in a collection.

The Chiang Mai Block and every detail about it has my highest rating. Magic Wagon has truly set a high standard for detail and beauty in their design of this unique piece of magic.

If you like beautiful magic, then get this item. It is truly a collector’s find.

Fabulous Craftsmanship

I have always loved drawer boxes and card boxes. This drawer box by Magic Wagon is beautifully crafted with inlaid wood and a design unlike a traditional magic drawer box. It is another rich example of the precision craftsmanship and attention to detail that the folks at Magic Wagon give to building magic that is beautiful to look at as well as perform. Quality always endures, and I love having this beauty in my collection. You would be well advised to purchase this for your collection, as I have not seen anything like it before, and it is an exquisite piece.

This has my highest recommendation.
