Simple but effective

This is a nice switching tray that you can use for a number of routines where you start of with 5 envelopes and let the audience freely choose any four, you are left with one, that they can change up until the last minute and of course this is the one with the money or prediction in.

I like it because it is so thin, so doesn’t look suspicious.

No fake Balloon Penetration

I grew up with an effect called the Balloon Tube – I don’t know who did the original, but MAK and many others have had their variations. I like this one from Owens because it is all clean before and after with no fakes to be seen. Clever idea!

Nice props, average effect.

Once again Alan Warner has made an unusual trick with high-quality props. Although I am not familiar with all of his creations, from what I’ve seen this is one of the more weaker or average effects. A strong story-telling presentation is really needed to sell this routine.

Fantastic Fun!

Finally Wellington has made the light switchboard apparatus for closeup, parlor, and walkaround. It’s even fun just to play with. A good presentation is not to rush through all the combinations. Take it easy so the audience can absorb that what is happening is impossible. This is very well-made, but occasionally I’ve needed to do minor repairs to the switch caps. Also be sure the unit is turned off when not in use, otherwise the batteries will fail when needed.

Great effect!

You can have a lot of fun with this one. They are very well made. I’ve had mine for years and use it often. Just don’t hurry the presentation and don’t let the spec remove their finger too soon before they can savour the ending moment.
