Thanks Roberto! It took me about half a day to finish the project, including practice (but I had practiced before of course) and recording it three times. The editing of the video didn't take that long - Windows Movie Maker is easy to use I believe.
Since I am planning to make videos for a long time now (I believe the first time I told you I was going to make a video of a rare German trick with dice (which I will upload in the future

) was two years ago) I do have a folder full with appropriate music for magic tricks.
Regarding the new Magic Wagon trick there has been a lot of discussion here and on Themagiccafe. I don't think anyone who ordered it will be dissapointed. Some great minds will come up with a nice routine for it, and it will look beautifull as always.
As for the mechanism, the thing that bothers me the most is in the mail MW sent out they clearly wrote the mechanical chest can NOT be examined - this is the first time they say this in such an open manor, which is actually very honest of them.
Perhaps the brass plate is somewhat operated with the gemstone? I don't know ... do take in mind brass is not a material that is attracted by magnets, there's no iron in the alloy. But if the bottom of the plate was an iron alloy it could work that way. Or there is metal inside the box that operates a mechanism of flipping the plate over, but for sure it would be a very strong magnet in the stone. And it would be concidered examinable perhaps.
Also, will the brass plate flipping over make a 'click' sound?
All the above are things that concerned me and convinced me not to buy it. And yes Victor, a magicians wife is not a normal spectator, but if she is baffled I can be 100% sure other will be too
As someone mentioned on TMC I do not think it is as simple as the regular STC, as in the spikes turn the plate over. I'm pretty sure the flipping over mechanism will be incorporated inside the box. I also don't think the plate slides out - then it would be exactly the same as an older effect of theirs.
Anyway, I'm interested in reading what you guys think about it when you receive it, which will be soon

And there will always a few possibilities to buy it later I'm sure
