Re: Wooden Coin Vases

Never seen those before, but they look to be well made and a nice wood.

Re: Magic Wagon - Phantom Block Penetration

Thanks Rob!

I also suspect that the block is gimmicked and all the rest are ungimmicked. If it works the way I am thinking, it may be hard to use it with a piece of rope. I guess we will find out soon enough- do you know when it will be released?

I have this Tenyo item and have read Tenyoism, and cannot believe I missed this- watching your video is indeed amazing. I need to dig this out and try it for myself!

Re: T-198 Blue Crystal

The collectibles market in general has been strong, especially during the pandemic with people stuck at home and turning to hobbies. I think the other thing that helps Potter and Potter, over just purchasing from an 'unknown' collector on Ebay or elsewhere, is that they have a reputation as being a ...

Re: T-198 Blue Crystal

Hi Collin, yes, that was the one! I was watching the auction live yesterday. Melting Loop was another one that sold for a lot (although it's a very rare piece). David, they are a reputable auction house known for selling rare and collectible magic items. I suppose there may be a mechanism to cancel ...

One of these just sold today for $750 at auction! It was open package; maybe a new record price?

Re: Old Catalogs

I remember the Hank Lee mailers, and think I have some of these saved too. I kept all of my old catalogs from Tannen's and Hank Lee. They are fun to look through, especially when seeing the illustrations and reading the descriptions.

Olaf, I thought I sent this earlier, but I don't see it? So here it is again. I too had the Gerlitz item and I think one of his best items (especially the docor). Usually, the vanished box is produced after the vanish and the items removed from box. I did not see this in your video and I also notic...

Re: Ultimate Mental Die - Magic Wagon

Thanks Simon- sounds almost too good to be true! I am definitely intrigued- both that it can be casually examined and does not need to be touched or handled by the performer are both very nice attributes.

The bottom of the box seems a bit thick- I wonder what it looks like inside when the spectator opens the box to insert the die?

Nice video Rob, smooth presentation! I did not buy this one this time, so it is nice to see the close-up of the cabinet in your video. The woodworking is indeed very nice.
