A Wonderful Routine for Kids of all ages!

The Wiz-Kote Machine is a great little device for shining shoes. It has sound and flashing lights, and then things go badly wrong as smoke starts pouring out the top and alarms start going off.

This is one of the smaller items Chalet make, but it is beautiful and great value too. The electronics and wiring is all very clean and precise. I am looking forward to working on a very entertaining routine for this work of art. It is simply frothing with potential!

This looks amazing!

Here’s one from “Modern Magic” by Professor Hoffmann built with great precision by Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering.

The little box is shown empty and placed on top of the column. Then a coin is borrowed and signed if desired and dropped in the small draw in the base. After the magic pass the coin is slowly seen to rise up the tube through the glass front and audibly appear in the little box on top, which is opened to find the coin in there.

This is very well made, clever and quite amazing to watch.

A real surprise and a great fooler!

This is one of my favorite Trickery exclusives! Two boxes are shown, and a spectator chooses one of them (e.g. red). The lid on the blue box is closed. A card is then selected from the red box and shuffled back into the red deck. The deck is then also placed in its wooden box. At the command of the magician the red card is invisibly transferred to the blue deck. When the blue box is opened not only is the red backed card found in there, but the rest of the blue deck has totally vanished. Nicely made.

There is no better card fountain available!

All of the electronic work that Marcelo Contento does is beautiful. Its machined well and it operates smoothly, flawlessly and very quietly. When I first received this Card Fountain, I was so impressed I phoned Marcelo up straight away just to thank him for building such a wonderful piece.

A Beautiful card effect!

Collector’s Workshop make some wonderful and expensive props. However, it is in some of their cheaper effects where you can find some real workable and entertaining routines. The Clock of San Marco is one such effect. I have used this many times on lay audiences and they just love it. It looks uncanny and is very convincing. Even if you can afford their expensive stuff you would be hard pressed to find a more unusual, workable, and entertaining close-up effect!

What a beautiful sound!

Viking’s Coin Ladder is a very beautiful prop. It looks great and a when you drop the coins into the ladder a wonderful melody is heard as the coins fall to the bottom. Made to the usual high Viking standards, this is a classy and unusual piece that you will be proud to own.
