Andy Martin –
Magiro created two versions of this unique switch case. His first version was released c. 1993 and this deluxe version was released c. 1998. Both versions were called “Kartenspiel Austauschkassette” and marketed by Eckhard Boettcher in Germany (see the final two photos). The switch mechanism is clever and unique to Magiro and quite different from other boxes created to switch decks of cards.
In 2023 Joe Long and Paul Lembo created a particularly fine version through their Limited Edition Magic line. Magiro’s version is smaller and not as ornate and only works with bridge sized cards, but otherwise there are no significant functional differences between the two.
This would be a shoe in for any type of Eddie Joseph Premonition effect, however, Magiro includes a much simpler effect that is similar to Premonition, but with no calculations or memory work. It can also be used to switch any bridge sized playing cards, billets and other small objects.
The original Magiro versions are very rarely seen and this is in fact the only one I have ever seen.
(Notice: the way this device is constructed the switch is not silent. I think adding some felt could help a lot, however, because I won’t be keeping this historical item I have not made any changes. But if you were going to perform with this on a regular basis you would probably want to consider adding some felt to dullen the sound.)
