This one baffled me...
Re: This one baffled me...
I’ve seen two different videos of Mystery of the Pyramids.
In one of the videos both sides of each disc are shown before they are placed on the rod so I thought perhaps it used a different method.

Dean’s Triangle by Dean Dill
If I had the money I would buy this trick, it pleased me from the first moment
"The routine is basically a four-phase Coins Through Table effect, and every move has been painstakingly thought through and the performance DVD by Dean himself takes you through all the steps. If only more manufacturers would follow through with this much attention to detail, we’d have a lot more great magic, and a lot less trash filling our shelves." - Andy Martin

Jewel Chest of Sea-Ling by Richard Gerlitz
Still one of my all time magic tricks but this version is unique !
It is Richard’s prototype and if you compare it to the other video
you maybe notice the difference. This version is top notch magic

Re: This one baffled me...
That is a beautiful piece Olaf!
Re: This one baffled me...
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 noticed that the chest was close to the table end.
Re: This one baffled me...
YES, I like this trick every time I see it again, and also the details of the design
Bob, I do not know the complete routine but that was not the reason of this postbobt1 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 10:25 amOlaf, I thought I sent this earlier, but I don't see it? So here it is again.

Maybe you can spot the difference to above video, below a video for comparison
Re: This one baffled me...
Important => if someone notices the difference please do not share this knowledge publicly here
Use secret area because the owner of this trick asked me not to make this additional secret public

Re: This one baffled me...
I happen to have the 'poor mans' version of this effect, I even made a video of it a year ago:
https://youtu.be/vZ8GHP14-ak
But of course the Gerlitz version is superior and more deceptive!
WishI I was able to make such effects myself, and no, not from Lego

Yes I was lucky to get this from my friend Frans Reijnier by trading it with one of my tricks.Olaf S wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 3:15 am

And oops... Usually I'm pretty keen on misspellings, but this time I really went wrong with naming this trick Sing See instead of Ching See.
Re: This one baffled me...
It is a fair point Bob, and seems unfinished maybe? I guess a pure vanish is ok too, depends on the presentation.bobt1 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 10:25 amOlaf, I thought I sent this earlier, but I don't see it? So here it is again.

Re: This one baffled me...
This is simply one of the most genius tricks
Re: This one baffled me...
Yes, it is a very nice trick, but hardly baffling today.

Re: This one baffled me...
Really wonderful to see this video, and Tommy Wonder speaking Dutch
I disagree with Øyvind, I find it really baffling!

Re: This one baffled me...
I also disagree with this statement, we as magicians know in part what is going on,
but even with this knowledge I am totally surprised and thrilled by this effect !
The best tricks are the ones which always surprise me again ...
Re: This one baffled me...
I'm not saying it is a bad trick, but it is just very obvious what is going on.
Re: This one baffled me...
I think this is the only version with the sleeve rolled up. If you are be able to watch how Tommy prepared all the details, he was such a perfectionist and his work on the vanishing cage was truly a masterpiece. I think noone did better than him.

Re: This one baffled me...
Deck Zag is pretty cool, but it seems reasonably obvious what is going on, I think.
