2 reviews for Egyptian Paddle by Harry Keyl, Keyl’s Magic

  1. Andy Martin –

    This effect was created by the Dutch magic dealer and craftsman Harry Keyl for his magic shop Keyl’s Magic in Holland.  Mr. Keyl made some wonderful magic in perspex including his fabulous Turtle Race which was also sold by Supreme Magic Company.

    Keyl’s Magic is often confused with items from his fellow Dutchman: Eddy Taytelbaum.  However, although  Keyl’s items are very well made they don’t have quite the same color or detail of Taytelbaum. 

  2. Horst Paffen –

    I bought this trick in February 2021 on ebay.de. The trick was accompanied only by a copy of an advertising paper from Keyl’s Magic, from a time before the Euro and when typewriters were still used. Since I like to look in at Martin’s Magic, I then found my trick as “Egyptian Paddle”. Andy did suspect Harry Keyl as the manufacturer, which I was then able to confirm by email with a photocopy of the advertising sheet. Since the sequence of a paddle trick can be easily reproduced from the prop, I wrote a routine for it, which Andy has in bumpy English translation from me.

    About Harry Keyl and Keyl’s Magic is unfortunately almost nothing to find on the Internet, although there is a H. Keyl in Zwolle (Netherlands) with the address of “Magic-Harry”.

    Andy then sent me the instructions for Harry Keyl’s “Turtle Race”. I will make a trick out of it with three rabbits and a hedgehog and playing cards as race track and train cards. In Germany there is a fairy tale of “Hare and Hedgehog”, where the hedgehog tricks the hare instead of a tortoise. Because the hedgehog man and his wife looked completely the same.
