Delben Quality Today!
I have always been a fan of Ben Stone’s Delben Blotter. Unfortunately, they have been increasingly difficult to track down, and apart from the awful, unathorized blotter from Magic Makers, they have not been available for years.
With the permission of "Danny’s Trix & Kix" of Spring, TX (the current owners of the Delben line) George Robinson at Viking and Joe Steven’s at Steven’s Magic have collaborated and created a blotter that even Ben Stone would be proud of. George has stayed as close as possible to the original Delben Blotter (as can be seen in the last photo) and has produced a very attractive blotter at a good price.
It is great to see Ben’s work revived in the capable hands of George Robinson, and one can only wonder what other treats Joe and George have in store over the coming year?

If only making money were this easy. Making magic certainly is. This trick simply looks like real magic. Even if you’re performing for yourself in front of a mirror, it will fool you.
Viking pulled out the stops on this one and did a great job of emulating the original prop. The piece really feels like something both utilitarian and magical, as if you actually did own a magical money maker. Is there a down side? Yes. It’s a one shot trick that will need quite a bit of story telling to turn into more than just a novelty effect. But with some creativity, it could be used in conjunction with other money magic as a strong opener or closer.
The Delben Blotter is not inexpensive, but it’s worth it. In this case you have to spend money to make money.
