Good trick, can be used for many presentations
A very good trick with three wooden disks and a small burlap like bag. I really liked the design on the coins and the bag. It opened the effect up to many different kinds of presentations. A pirate theme, a Victorian theme, etc. The bag is not integral to the effect, so you can use a nicer bag, or box or something else that matches your presentation.

Great formal bar effect
I have had this effect for a few years and I’ve found it’s one of my favorites. The wooden cup is well made, and looks and feels nice. The cards are okay. basically bicycle cards with stickers put on them. The spectator picks a card (force, and you can use any force you want really) and the cup is lifted and set aside to reveal a bottle of gin sitting under it. Then without going to your pocket for a load (ala cups and balls) you immediately lift the cup again to reveal a can of tonic. The method is nice and the bottle is full of gin, the can heavy/weighted and firm. Nothing flimsy. You could end with a pocket load and I’ve often shoved a lime in the cup when the tonic water was revealed. I recommend it for an older audience as no one under 40 I know even knows what gin and tonic is.

Very good effect for the right performer
This is a great opening effect. without saying a word, a spectator chooses a card from an image of many different cards, then the spectator spits out the card from his mouth!
I really liked this effect. The cards were funny and received many laughs. After a performance I’ve been asked to show the image of many cards again and I was able to quickly show it again to friends to prove there were many choices they could have made. This effect does require a confident performer as you have to do a bit of acting and facial expressions. It’s also best used as an opener because of the card in your mouth. You could possibly shove the card in your mouth later on in your show, but it’s challenging to do a silent effect after you’ve been performing and talking for some time. (unless your a mime )
Id recommend it to a confident experienced performer who was looking for a new, funny and unique opening effect for a close up or banquet type show for adults.

Tiny Box
This item is finely constructed. However, Mikame claimed the idea and design as his own when it was actually invented by Clarence Miller who, as far as I’m aware, sold the rights to Viking Magic.

Milk Wonder perfect Review
I just bought this after seeing a video of it performed. Yes. It looks exactly like these photos you see. It is a quality product. It is self-contained and convenient because you do not have to fill it or bring milk. It also does something no milk pitcher or regular milk glass does. It refills itself in seconds.
Now the downside. You have to watch your angles and your audience cannot be looking from the top. I was unaware of this when I bought. it. But standing should take care of this. Also, I have heard reviews of a couple of customers who left the glass in a hot car in the summer and the milk evaporated. Since the milk is sealed, this makes the glass useless. But if you keep the glass in a cool place, you should be fine.
This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God.
So just take care of it, practise on front of a mirror, get used to the orientation of the glass and you should be fine.
It has many uses. Great for puppets, also pouring milk in a newspaper cone or in a bag. Very versatile. I am glad I bought mine.
Yours truly, Vincent

A Classic Just Got Classier
Mr. Gaynor has a reputation to maintain, and he’s done it here with this re-invention of a classic ESP effect. The method used to divulge the order of the chips (or coins, or other similar objects), is not new. What’s new is the beautiful care put into this version of an old and classic trick.
The craftsmanship is second-to-none, and the workings are as smooth as can be. I wouldn’t have titled it "Aromatic" necessarily, as wood will dry out after awhile, and the aroma will be less-evident. But the dynamic coloring from the premium woods used in this piece make for an impressive, and workable design.

Unique little coin pouch
This is a great little coin pouch. It does not look like a lady’s coin purse as many of them do. It has a very unique look to it. I have a few of them and always use them when table hopping because of a unique feature. Your spectators will not be able to easily open this purse! Have you ever performed a routine with a coin purse and had the spectator open the purse a bit early? kind of ruins the whole effect. The unique inside clasp on this pouch requires that you fiddle with it a bit before you open it. I can easily catch my spectators before they open the pouch. This is invaluable when entertaining a group. Once you are familiar with the pouch, it only takes you a second to open it.
This coin pouch also fits easily in the palm, and can be handled magically in routines just like a Jumbo coin. Get two pouches and shuttle pass for a secret change of contents, Have a pouch disappear, or appear. It’s very easy with this pouches size shape and no outer clasp (It’s a bit smaller than a jumbo coin however )

Topsy Soda
This is a great version of the Topsy Turvey bottles. I’ve enjoyed using it many times this past summer. The use of cola bottles makes the trick appear more impromptu, you can be drinking from the bottle during your show until you get to the effect, call a child up and use the bottle you were drinking from. When the trick is done you can give the child the bottle he was handling, or finish drinking from your bottle and move into another effect utilizing the bottle ( cap in bottle, coin in bottle, ect.) The cola bottles also look more appropriate then the "black cherry soda" version. No matter how often I’d reinforce the bottles are "black cherry SODA’ Every so often a child will call out that I’m using beer bottles. Another bonus to using the bottles is they are unbreakable when they hit the floor, and you can go to the local variety store to buy a replacement.
There are a few challenges with this prop. Being from Canada, I can’t go to the local store to buy a replacement bottle as they are different sizes up here! Also you can’t show the magicians tube empty. During a carefully crafted routine this is not a problem, but I could not continue to use a finale I usually perform with a normal tube anymore ( I’d dip the tube behind a table and reach through the top for another bottle) the "gimmick" in the tube prevented this. Other than these small challenges this is a great prop and is recommended!

Spelling bee board
This is a great versatile effect that can be used for a variety of shows. Well built and customizable, the board shows a word spelled with separate letters, you turn the board around, remove the letters, shuffle them face down and either you or a volunteer randomly puts them back into the board. when the board is turned around again to face the audience, the original (or a different) word has been spelled perfectly. Great effect, seemingly impossible, and it works just as well for adults as it does for a family or children’s audience.
A great prop that I use often. especially when I’m asked to perform at a themed show and I need a custom trick quick. Superhero show? have the word spell a hero’s name. Corporate show? have the company’s name or their product written on the board. Recycling show, have the letters spell recycle. Child’s birthday? have the letters spell the child’s name!
You are limited to words with the same number of letters in it than your board can hold. Smaller words will work also. Sometimes the bottom of the prop will separate a bit causing the letters to fall through the crack, but a bit of tape or glue and it’s an easy fix. this is a well built solid prop (block of wood and plexiglass) that will last a long time. the letters may need replacing after a few years though.
