Charming Set of Chinkas

I could not have been more thrilled to get this charming set of chinkas. Exquisitely crafted and painted in beautiful lacquers and housed in a box that is perfect to display or carry these beauties, this is now one of my favorite collection pieces. Francois Danis is a wonderful craftsman who is passionate about magic and his work, and it shows in the classic pieces he creates. This is a marvelous piece, and the decorations are hand painted. These are going to be hard to get as more collectors discover his work. This has my highest rating, and I would recommend getting the Danis Chinkas Set to anyone who loves beautiful and classic magic hand crafted in the tradition of the European masters.

Absolutely Awesome

Richard again has surpassed my wildest expectations. What a craftsman, engineer, magic thinker and perfectionist! My only disappointment is not having been able to purchase some of his earlier items to include in my collection.

Everything about Orb of Truth is just beautiful and perfect, and the mechanism is ingenious and flawless in operation. Nothing I can say can really do justice to this effect. I agree with all of the other reviewers of Orb of Truth. The workmanship and finish is just "absolutely awesome."

I can’t wait to see Richard’s next creation.

Quality Micro Magic

The quality on this is just superb. George’s miniature rosewood box is beautiful and flawless. The gimmick is indetectable, and George has added the versatility of being able to repeat the effect. A great piece of micro magic from Collector’s Workshop. This makes me wish I had other boxes of George’s that I could use to carry and display my magic. In this case, the box houses the effect. This is a great closeup effect.

Truly Exquisite

This is my most treasured piece of magic in my collection. Richard Gerlitz has truly outdone himself and created not only a beautifully designed piece but one that is ingenious in its methodology and effect. It is truly exquisite in its appearance and construction, and I really do not know how he could have made it better. His use of materials is nothing short of perfection. His last item, Sea-Ling’s True Love, is also exquisite in every way, and I seem to be saying that about every piece I have been able to purchase from Richard. You should not pass this up if you have a chance to acquire it. This is what collecting magic is all about.
