A neat idea using the teeth of a key to reveal a forced card. The trailer and ad copy explain all, and it can be carried with your other keys without fear of damage. Also interesting is that you don’t need a deck to force the card. There is a link to a website that will do that for you.
You better get it now before our friends and audience forget what a key is! Key extinction is probably 5-10 years away.
►Prophekey:
This is a very clever card reveal using keys. By placing two of the keys side by side the teeth form an outline of a selected card.
The keys supplied are designed to reveal two different cards: The Seven of Diamonds and the Four of Hearts.
You can wait for someone to randomly name one of those cards, you can force them using your favorite method, or you can use the website that was created for this trick… it is a random card generator that will force these cards for you.

I spoke to Dave Solomon while he was in hospice a few weeks before he passed away and he was very pleased with the release of his Time Warp Wallet. It is a wonderful routine which you can watch him perform on my trailer.
►Time Warp Wallet:
The main routine has you name your favorite card and your friend name any other card. Your card is lost anywhere in the deck as you attempt to cut to it. You cut to a card which you claim is your favorite, place it in the wallet as you remove some money. You then offer your friend the opportunity to win the money if they can cut to their card. Of course, they can’t, and you then explain why. When the wallet is opened you show that the card you placed inside was your favorite card and the card that was behind a clear window the entire time was their freely named card.

The baby Pom-Pom trick that was released by Ronjo more than twenty years ago sold out so fast I had to get more.
►Mini Pom Pom Stick:
The routine begins with a small aluminum stick, approximately 3″ long, with a long string passing through one end and a short string through the other. A colored pom-pom is attached to each string end.
When you pull the pom-pom on the short string down the pom-pom on the long string goes up. As you pull on different pom-poms, others go up and down in impossible sequences, until your friends are sure that all the strings are attached to each other. That is when you pull the stick apart, proving that there are no connections and what you demonstrated was impossible.

►Conviction Prediction 2.0:
The original Conviction Prediction became so popular that Michael kept working on it and streamlining the method and handling. This new 2.0 version creates the same effect but now it automatically resets for repeat performances, easy to carry in a leather wallet, and can easily be done standing.
What makes this special is the delayed ending which comes completely unexpectedly, and since none of the props are gimmicked and only one simple sleight is used everything is examinable at the end.

►BACK IN STOCK:
With the 4F Convention a few weeks away, I have been hounding Ted Bogusta to make as many of his ingenious coin sets as possible for me. I will be hoarding them until the convention. But also adding them to the site so you can have first dibs. Here are just two of my favorites:
►Holesome Coins: Japanese Edition:
The basic routine involves three coins. A Japanese coin with a hole in it, a small African coin with a hole in it, and a Walking Liberty silver half dollar. The first phase begins with an impossible single coin transposition, followed by an even more impossible two for one coin transposition, with a final phase where the silver coin jumps back from your pocket, is used to vanish the two other coins, and can be handed out for examination.

►Dual Position Copper Silver Copper:
Connie Haden’s original Silver And Two Copper Transposition is a classic of coin magic. This new gimmicked version is likely the best.
What Ted did was take the classic set of coins and infused them with his DPS (Dual Position Magnetic System). The custom magnetic system allows you to do all the basic and classic routines plus many more displays and sequences that were never possible before.

PS: The two reasons I was able to list so many items on eBay recently is that I took the “list it or toss it” approach (mostly toss it). The second reason is that I decided not to write full descriptions since nobody will buy stuff, they don’t know anything about, and finding out more is easy by searching the web.
