SS09 – Master of Chance and Beyond by Wellington Enterprises, Lubor Fiedler

Meister des Zufalls (Master of Chance) was invented by Lubor Fielder c. 1960 and published in issue 1 of the German magazine Zauberkunst in December 1962.  This first issue was filled with amazing ideas from Lubor and was sub-titled “Neue Magische Ideen” (New Magical Ideas) and boy was that title correct.  The world of magic would never be quite the same after seeing Lubor’s ingenious and out of the box thinking.

Master of Chance epitomizes Lubor Fielder’s out of the box thinking  and it has fooled some of the most knowledgeable magicians in the world. The most amazing feature of this particular effect is every method you come up with (extra spots, magnetic spots, sliding panels, switches, forces, etc.) are all wrong and unless you are shown the method it is unlikely you would ever come up with the solution.  Everything can be examined before and after the effect with nothing added or taken away, and it is always ready to perform.

Wellington Enterprises have really knocked the construction of this effect out of the park and focused on the absolute cleanness of the method to maximize every inch out of this effect.  So much so that I’m going to keep my set for a while, which if you watch my auctions, know is quite a rarity 🙂

Effect: The effect uses two small identical triangular blocks, and a tube that covers the two stacked blocks. Each of the triangular blocks has a different color on each side. To begin the effect, the magician places one of the blocks into the tube so that the spectator cannot see the orientation of the colors.

The spectator is then asked to take the remaining triangle, turn it however he desires and drop it into the tube on top of the other block. When the magician lifts the tube, exposing the colored sides of the blocks, they are both aligned – their colors matching on all sides. The tube and the blocks can be handed out for examination with no fear that the secret will be discovered.

The blocks and tube in this new version have been precisely machined and polished for ultra clarity. With these new props, we’ve also added some additional presentation ideas to further enhance the trick. We hope you’ll be pleased with this latest version of Lubor Fiedler’s Master of Chance.
