Re: Magic Wagon - Utopia Prediction Box

You are right Olaf (luckaly I saw your post before buying this one - thanks for helping me save my money!). I have the Dream Prediction box. This one is the same, but has a window. Yes Rob, with the Dream PB you can also do the ACAAN routine, no problem I heard from an experienced card artist that ...

Wood works and when the tolerances are small, it gets tight
I do it differently, turn 180 degrees and come from the left
Closure to the viewer, it works much better for me then

Re: Reverso O Boxes

Yet I believe it's more convincing if at the end you show both nested boxes open In the given routines the boxes are usually not shown openly, only possible with a certain procedure and this limits the possibilities of these beautiful boxes from my point of view very much. I find it much more suspi...

Re: New Magic Wagon: The Four Elements

I can now call this trick my own and must say that I like it optically very much. I also don't mind the fonts used - However, the criticisms regarding the not quite tight coloured chips are correct, but if you don't move the box massively, they stay in place .... I have also noticed that the upper w...

Re: Reverso O Boxes

If there had been two bottles in the inner Box - I would have had to put the empty bottle on top of the filled one, but that would have made a noise ... If you take a closer look you can also see that I placed the empty bottle very low down. In addition, I moved the Box very quickly afterwards, whic...

Re: Magic Wagon Triple Dice Vision now available

I bought Tiple Dice Vision used and I am very fond of the little trickbox - I have hardly anything to complain about, which doesn't happen very often. From a layman's point of view everything is very unsuspicious. I also like the selection options to either reveal numbers of eyes or color of dice or...

Re: T-187 Mini-Morphosis

So the sound issue is the weakest point of this trick, then? The demonstration is not silent but there are certain ways to conceal or make it plausible. With plastic it won't be easy to create a silent version but it should be possible - But I would definitely prefer a wooden version to do justice ...

Here is my first magic video with my beloved Tenyo trick "Mini Morphosis" which I had bought many years ago and which impressed me very much at this time. The trick worked perfectly at that time. The one I have now is unfortunately not perfect and has a often a very bad day. Today I have found a hal...

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!

My silent favorite is still "Mini Morphosis" because it's the first Tenyo trick I found overwhelming years ago ... Unfortunately my new version doesn't work properly ... I would like to have such an illusion in a small wooden professional version which is also noiseless.

Re: The diamond sphere

I like it a bit slower, that makes a lot more impression with certain tricks because the viewer has time and thinks he could discover something, which he unfortunately doesn't do. I agree that this routine is a bit too long but I still like it. I also think that I have a solution but years ago I had...
