Andy Martin –
The first time I saw this wonderful effect, invented by the talented German Inventor and Craftsman Wolfgang Grosskopf, was when Olaf Güthling shared with me his stunning version. This version, created by Germany’s Magic Workshop, is not quite as impressive, or authentic looking, but nevertheless it really is a beautiful item. In the world of 3D printed and resin items we often find these days anything made in real wood is always a treat 🙂
Magic Workshop is a small magic manufacturer and dealer that was opened by magician and craftsman Laszlo Madaras in 2017. This is the first time I have purchased directly from them and the order was shipped on Monday and arrived on Thursday – that was quite magical itself and I look forward to purchasing more items in the future from this dealer.
The effect is great and easy to do. If you’re in the 60+ club you’ll probably need the crib sheet to remember where to turn the handle to get the correct ball, but with that in hand you can be performing this the same afternoon it arrives in the mail.
One issue I had was that there was not enough padding in the drawer so it was pretty noisy. If you watch my Speed Demo there is barely any sound now. Also for some reason the routine suggests you produce the black ball first – since the inside of the drawer is also black I think using a more contrasting color (e.g. red) makes a lot more sense. You don’t want to open the drawer the first time and not have them notice the ball!!!
If you are wood guy like myself I have no doubt you will love this clever and well produced item 🙂
