Review by George Guerra for Perverse Card by Alan Warner

Beautiful and entertaining…LOVE IT!!
You get two beautiful teak pieces and special cards to perform a most entertaining piece of card magic. Alan always amazes me what he can do with teak wood and this is one of his better examples. Definitely get this one!
Review by George Guerra for Twister by Alan Warner

Simple but entertaining with the right presentation
You get a simple but well finished teak wood case and the necessary dominoes to perform a bewildering effect of a domino always ending up showing the same side despite turning over the case. Play it with a sucker touch. The grand finale where the halves “twist around” ends the effect with a dramatic climax. Automatic in execution. Recommended!

Great Quality, Low Price, Multiple Routines!
Marcelo Contento always makes high quality magic. These dominoes are not exception. They match the dominoes used in Nostradominus and are fun to play with. Heavy quality and a selection of great effects come with each set.

The Best
This is really a great trick. Not only is it not that hard, just some basic handeling, but it is mind blowing! With only a basic to medium skill level, you can look like an expert.

Keep it up Arlen Studios!
I recieved an early one of these and was dissappointed because there was more glue than I felt was necessary around the base. I told Keith to get his act together – and he did. He rebuilt the unit and now they are glueless and actually even better looking!
I struggled with this effect at first because it talks about using the old top of pocket dodge to effect the switch of the cards and silk. Keith suggested a card box, but I couldn’t find one that worked well until I remembered the beautiful case that came with CW’s Psychic Sword. It was perfect.
So now you have a sweet miracle, that looks good, is easy to do and is surprising. The basic effect is that after choosing the red or green silk you cover the other chamber with the chosen silk, place 4 aces into the box or your pocket. And in a blink they change places – very cleanly and quite amazingly.
Great job Keith – and thanks for fixing the glue issues – Nick de Palma will be pleased you’re not trying to steal his trademark! Keep them coming please!

Great presentation, just a tad messy!
This is a very nicely produced outfit from those nice people at Arlen Studios. The letter looks very authentic and the striking conculsion where you see a bloody hand print appear on the letter is very effective. At the appropriate venue I think this could really freak some people out!
However, like all tricks of this nature it is a bit messy, so won’t be on my top ten players, since I don’t like getting my hands dirty!
Review by Andy Martin for Cocobolo Wand (Two Piece) by Shamrock Magic
5 out of 5
Beautiful and Lovely Weight to it.
A friend asked me: do you really need another wand Andy? I said yes when they feel and look like this baby! It’s just a very beautiful wand. I’m not sure if there is any real value in the two pieces, but I didn’t have one and I’m sure there will be the odd occaision where I need to strip it down for packing!
Review by Andy Martin for Jumping Card by Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering

Cute and well made.
This is a very well made and beautiful box from Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering. Works real well too.
A card is chosen, the cards are placed in the houlette and then suddenly the chosen card jumps out!
Its easy to do, and what is cool is that although the box cannot be shown inside it can be shown all around and there is nothing to see. I have always liked the work of Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering, its a shame they are no longer around.
Review by Andy Martin for Magic Welding Tray by Louis Nikola

Simple but effective!
This is a nice unknown manufacturer piece I just picked up from ebay. The tray does all the work and is nicely made and finished in wood.
Nothing too complex here and the switch is logically hidden by the pouring of the rings into the glass, for a surprise ending of the rings joining together to form a chain.

Clever, Quiet and Different
This is a great gimmick that causes a spectator’s watch to move forward in time very quickly. The gimmick is almost totally silent and fits neatly into a card case.
I don’t know how this works, but it is very cool to watch! The only problem I’ve found with it is that the placement of the watch on the card case is important and if you don’t get it close enough to the center of the gimmick, nothing happens. And of course that is not as impressive!
