Re: This one baffled me...

Fantastic Review David! I also can't wait for mine to arrive. I ponder painting my top lid black to match the base instead of blue and that might help the effect. Either way I should have a lot of fun with the effect. I've been pondering patter for the effect and talking about getting older and how ...

Re: This one baffled me...

Yes Kirk, I'll let you know, the one thing I like about this version is how easy it will be to hide that certain something. Handling should look quite natural.

:shock: Wow Simon! You made that version! Great work!

Re: This one baffled me...

Hi Simon, actually the principle is completely different than Blockbuster. Blockbuster is a much more complicated mechanism, Cleverly Threaded is much simpler. Thanks for reminding me of Blockbuster as it's very cool to see two similar effects with very different methods!

I couldn't resist either and also ordered it! :D It appears to be nicely made in metal and when you compare it to the version below we got a great deal! Many thanks for posting Rob!

Re: This one baffled me...

I have seen this before! In fact I saw a vintage version for sale in an EBay auction. It uses the same principle, see this link here https://www.ebay.ca/itm/172458174033

If you look closely at the pictures you should be able to figure out how the effect is done. ;)

Re: Ignition by Chris Smith

It's a very clever way to perform the thru bill effect and be totally clean at the end (after you've taken a dump obviously) For ages when this came out I was looking at it and thinking "you must be able to spot the retractable/removable parts under close inspection" then the square shape of the he...

Re: Dream Journal

It is very cool illusion and I like Rick's patter. It's also nice that he joins and un-joins the spring which isn't normally required when showing it just as an optical illusion!

I completely agree, I hate this trick and think that it should not be performed. I've seen far too many videos of this trick going wrong!

Re: Dream Journal

This is an optical illusion that has been around for a very long time. Interesting to see Penguin Magic package this as a magic trick and for Rick Lax to talk about it as if it's a new ground breaking effect?

Re: Magical Potential for Mouse Balls

The old rope prayer vase routine where a rope placed into a small mouthed vase stays suspended in the vase, the magician is then able to hang the vase suspended on the rope. See here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b-C9cVewnlQ

You should be able to figure out where your mouse ball comes into play : )

Re: This one baffled me...

I believe this uses the same method as the the "Toasyt to Houdini" effect. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_-pJMxrqqDk Neither of of two fooled me though. I would be afraid to allow all the props to be examined at once for fear the method would easily be discovered. I actually like this version bette...
