This small Tenyo-like illusion creates a magical effect through clever use of physics. There are no angle issues or strange noises – everything is so “clean.”

This trick uses a completely new and unusual method to achieve the penetration effect, but it suffers from significant angle issues. Whether intentional or not, the prop looks like a fragile and rough ‘craft’ that surprisingly allows it to pass the spectator’s inspection. Its appearance may be weak, but it’s surprisingly strong.

Tony Lackner’s Super Chip-Lift creates a routine that tells a modern fable about the ups and downs of a government worker’s career.
The story begins with an election. The people in white suits lose, and the people in red suits win and form a new government.
At that moment, a government worker who has been forgotten for years in a basement file room is suddenly noticed. He complains that no one cared about him – maybe because he was always “on the other side.”
The new government quickly promises him a promotion, but another worker is needed to take his place in the file room. At this point, the red chip rises from under the base and switches places with a white chip inside the tube, as the performer does. The red chip represents this worker.
As the story goes on, the red chip moves up magically, showing how his rank grows because of his loyalty to the party. He becomes a deputy director, then a director, and finally a secretary of state. The red chip reaches the top position.
But then the story takes a turn – another election is held. A small party wins many votes and demands a minister’s seat. Suddenly, the career worker disappears. The red chip disappears as well, and the position is now filled by someone from the green party, with the chip turning green.
At the end of the story, it’s revealed that the hardworking government worker has returned to where he started four years ago – the basement file room. The red chip is back underneath the base.
The performer concludes, “Yes, politics is cruel.”
The effect is similar to Blue Phantom, but it uses a different method. There are no angle issues and no noise. It’s my favorite prop among all my Tony Lackner items.

This prop has serious angle issues, and I’m quite disappointed. I can’t believe Magic Wagon released it without careful consideration – not even exploring solutions used in similar tricks. It’s destined to be nothing more than a camera trick on YouTube!

Magic Wagon has released many versions of ring penetration effects, but this is my favorite. It allows the spectator to fully inspect the prop from a complete 360-degree view before and after the performance. Those who know what I’m talking about will understand! The method is unique, completely different from what I imagined before receiving it. There are no complicated mechanical structures, but rather a “why didn’t I think of that?” kind of solution. I’m not sure if it’s original, but if anyone knows, please let me know. It has a slight angle issue, but I think it’s no big deal, and there are no strange noises.

A nested box made for close-up magic.
It’s made of beautiful wood, very well crafted – and most of all, it’s a little thing!
Like most nested boxes, the performer needs to find their own way to make a ring or coin disappear first. Then, thanks to the clever design of the prop, there’s a convincing routine that makes it look like the object is “sent” into the box.
It’s a bit of a pity that not all of the boxes can be fully examined afterward, but it’s still great.
There are no angle issues, and while it makes a bit of noise, I don’t really care – because it’s such a cute little buddy, after all!

A cute little thing – a very visual trick. It takes some practice, and there are no angle or noise issues.

Magic Wagon has released too many ring penetration effects. If I remember right, this is the last one they’ve put out so far. I think most people are getting tired of it. The method has already been used in their earlier works. What surprises me is – since they’ve done this before, why not improve it? Especially since they made a beautiful tiger carving, but you can’t proudly show it to people. That just feels so weird!

To the spectator, it feels more like a puzzle than a trick. To Alan Warner, it’s a love letter to collectors – a way to show off his incredible woodworking skills. The mechanism inside is so thin and well-crafted, it’s hard to believe it’s made of wood. There are no angle or noise issues, but with craftsmanship this good, those things just don’t matter anymore.

This is the original version of Magic Wagon’s Ring Thru Sword Mystery. The prop is much smaller compared to the Magic Wagon version, which is what makes it truly remarkable, and the use of a plastic tube makes it appear even more “clean.” It would be better if the tube were a bit longer. When performing it, I encountered a slight angle issue. That being said, this prop is still very ingenious and well thought out.
