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.

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 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.

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 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?

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!

I really love this little treasure chest created by Mikame magic and first introduced to me by Andy. It is certainly a sweet gem in my collection of magic boxes from the past. I can say that it is certainly beautiful, the secret will never be discovered by a spectator no matter how hard they could try. As Andy said, a spectator can freely handle the box and would not have a clue as to how the secret works. Now, that is my kind of magic chest. I performed this personally at work and the looks were just awe on the faces that were watching. That is the indication to me of a great magic chest. It isn’t small, but, it also isn’t too big if that makes sense. It is enough for you to hold some small magic items likes 2-4 decks or some magic items. I am very happy with it and would recommend this piece of magic if you are interested.

This small Tenyo-like illusion creates a magical effect through clever use of physics. There are no angle issues or strange noises – everything is so “clean.”
