My Friend!

I call him Dickie the Duck, and he has been with me for about 27 years. My routine is 10-15 mintues long and the audience just love it. They always ask “Where’s Dickie?”.

This is one of those effects where it is all about the peformer. By instilling life into the duck you can create some of the finest entertainment around. Dickie will always be with me. And he always gets the right card … eventually!

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.

Easy and Truly Mystifying

If you perform this correctly, this is about as magical as it gets. A small amout of practice will leave you with one of the finest effects from the Collector’s Workshop stable – without selling your home!

Quite simply, 4 coins audibly penetrate the bottom of the class and a card case one by one. Very sweet!

(Thanks to Art Begun for reminding me how good this effect is.)

The best!

This is by far the best Fall Apart Chair I have seen. It matches Mephisto’s Fall Apart Table and is very solid. The electronics are undetectable even under close examination. Just beautiful!

(The video does not do it justice since it was a a rubber base floor which really gripped the feet!)

Well this makes you feel very special! Beautiful!

I was in two minds about buying just a pretty box/table particularly at this price. But when you see this baby, your heart melts. It is bigger than you would expect, and provides a perfect working surface for performing. It also has plenty of room inside to store cards, coins, and everything magical. Even above the mirror there is space for cards and other small items. Also the door that folds down has felt on it to layout cards.

Arlen Studios advertise themselves as Magic Handcrafted by Magicians for Magicians. Well this was clearly thought out by a magician. Very strongly recommended.

Also, contrary to some dealers comments having nice equipment won’t make you a good magician. But having a box like this might just intice you to put together a great close-up routine that fits neatly inside. Having put together the effects, you’ll find practicing them much easier and more enjoyable. And all that might just make you a better magician!

Wonderful finish, very solid. This box is not overpriced at all. I wish the photos could do justice to it. Keep an eye on Arlen Studios for more wonderful, original magic. Their track record so far is outstanding!
