Re: The Best 'Cubio'

Mine has no hallmark and has beads. Cubio was invented by Carl Brema it says in the long list below. I'm confident mine is a Carl Brema. Probably why it still works has same string and beads.

Re: The Best 'Cubio'

The best Cubio I have I bought in the 60s probably older than that. It is really nice solid brass. Got a nice weight to it looks great it works as good as it looks. I don't have the box it came in so I can't remember who made it but you would have to pry out all the out of my cold dead hand to get ...

Re: This one baffled me...

Very interesting Richard...is it plastic with wood? Unfortunate but the box is plastic made to look like wood. It was very popular when I was a kid everyone knew how it worked. Had a few dried peas inside it to rattle around to make it more interesting to get it open to see what is inside. I seriou...

Re: This one baffled me...

As far as that dice it's nothing new I have had this magic box since 1967. Fits nice and tight does not come apart easy unless you hold it right. It is impossible to tell it comes apart looking at it. I think it was called The Secret Box. :) Magic Box 01.jpg Magic Box 02.jpg Magic Box 03.jpg

Re: This one baffled me...

Bad part I see about this trick is if the ropes have to already be inside the box and can't slide ropes all the way left and right to show they are not looped inside the clear plastic tube like the old Odd Ball clear plastic box with ball inside trick or even the wand, rings and rope trick that is k...

Dice That Don't Add Up To 7

Here is a site that sells various gimmicky dice sets. One in particular the set when opposite sides are added don't add up to 7. ;) What would be the best use of these dice that don't add to 7. :idea: I would buy them if I had a reason, anyone got any ideas what you would do with them. :?: http://hi...

I placed an order for the Zentri Stainless and a Brass one too. Ordered 2 of the new High Velocity Bearings Bearing removal tool. I wanted to get the Kong upgrade buttons but they are out of stock. :)

Thanks for the help these sound great.

Re: Fidget Spinners

I think if spinners are a problem in a class room they should be confiscated, maybe given back at the end of class but only one time. The next time they should loose it. I'm sure both of you have seen so many you are sick of them. :lol: In my case I have never seen one except on recent video. I am i...

Fidget Spinners

I thought it better to make new topic here about these. Rob I see you say you love fidget spinners. I was wanting to get a few of the best spinners that spin the longest and are near silent when spinning. Wondering which ones are your favorites. That card reveal one sounds very cool. :) Interested t...

Re: Revenge Lock

Yes the Revenge Lock now updated called The Wanderer is much harder. Getting it out of it's surrounding case isn't too hard but once out getting the shackle open is another thing. Once open the hard part is putting it back together and have it locking like it was when you started. Very difficult puz...
