Re: Master of Chance by Lubor Fiedler

Ok, so I had to make a quick design myself as well. Looks similar to the one at printables, but I made the blocks as one part with recesses for the color panels: master_of_chance.jpg Didn't make any decorations on the tube, though. Might add that if I decide I will use this trick. As of now, I'm sti...

Re: Master of Chance by Lubor Fiedler

It is clever, but it seems to me that the performance video from "Totally Magic" makes it look slightly better than in real life. In his video, the "spectator" chooses green, and "coincidentally" that is also the frontmost color of the block that the performer chose. In reality, the performer might ...

Re: Houdini's Torture Cell

Thanks for the nice comments!

Olaf, Houdini escapes at the top, but I printed that part in two colors. There is also a slot on the inside for a note, which told her what the next task was.

Re: Houdini's Torture Cell

Each Christmas I give my wife a puzzle to solve to get her present, and this year I designed my own version of the puzzle in this topic: houdini1.jpg houdini2.jpg I only had a flat plate of acrylic, so I made it with windows. You can still see the insides well, but not as good as if the tube is all ...

Well I was wondering how long it would take for someone to do this, I personally think it improves the mystery!

Re: Final penetration by Mikame

This is an interesting effect, and I actually started creating my own many years ago. I can understand how it may fail, and I never finished mine for different reasons. One being that doing the move was tricky to get right, and mine also made too much noise at that point. I think perhaps laquered an...

That guy seems to have taken inspiration from my version, the "Die Dye Tube", including the name:

Here’s the first video … by Madison: https://youtu.be/ZcuTOa1s-Nk I'll admit I'm much less impressed now that I have seen a performance.

Re: Diamond Block Mystery - Magic Wagon

Sounds nice, Rob. It was smaller than I had anticipated, though. Not a lot of wood for the money. :)
It may well end up being something worth recreating, we'll see. I'm intrigued by your comment about the mechanism.

No obvious moves to see, so maybe they were able to make it fully automatic in operation

Re: 2023 line and 2022 +1 announced

Mister Danger looks quite cool, and in the performance video, the spectator is allowed to insert the swords, but not to open the case after they have been removed. I wonder how inspectable it really is (if at all). In the video, they also skipped the part where the box is closed and locked (and henc...

They finally managed to make 75. They had 60 yesterday, when I posted here. They had to drill +/- 500 mirrors in order to make their 75 sets.
Oh, wow. That sounds painful, but I guess the mirror to be drilled is fairly thin, which makes it difficult to drill without cracking.
