Re: Magic Wagon - Meridian Ring Cabinet

Here are a couple more videos of this excellent MW release that have been published elsewhere earlier.

First, here is the terrific performance by Madison (I LOVE it!)




And my own take on it...



Are you aware of any other Meridian videos out there?

I like this version more than the very bulky Louie Gaynor “Ring on rod penetration”, which I sold by the way...

And the handling will be much easier I think...
Rob, do you think the modus operandi will be somewhat similar? :geek:

Re: Magic Wagon - Meridian Ring Cabinet

I suppose you can take away the front panel (doors) before the ring is lifted up? If not, I don't think that's a problem ... . A borrowed ring can be used, which means the ring we see on the floor is the same that the one we see a moment later on the sword. So I guess what matters here is that ther...

Khamun Ring Mystery arrived in 2nd place in our annual poll on FB for the "Magic Wagon Trick of the Year" in 2020, only one vote behind Atomic Glass Penetration. It is assuredly destined to become a classic! Glad I bought two sets... ;) Here is my take on this beautiful piece of magic. AcNez2tzcK4

Re: Magic Wagon Z-frame

Does it do anything a Sidetrack doesn't? You can put a signed sticker on the jumbo card in Sidetrack in the same place as with the card shown for Z Frame.Sidetrack is nice because the frame in which the jumbo card is held is no larger than the card: it fills it completely.

Re: Magic Wagon - Imperial Vase Mystery

The vase can withstand brief or normal examination. As an example, you can ask a spectator to hold it for you at the beginning (and maybe to remove small flowers, etc.). The vase looks absolutely normal. You can also show it all around at the end, but I would not give it to David De Graef for an in ...

By the way I received my set and it is very silent!

So I unpacked my 2nd set (I was curious!) and it is silent as well... So the noise issue is a non issue IMHO...

Re: Magic Wagon - The Telegraph Chest

I agree with Rob...
I chose a small vintage padlock for my set (and placed some more in the "key box"). I plan to use an outer plexi box to isolate the chest even more prior to the "revelation". Great addition to the collection! :D
