I am often asked about ways to force numbers on dice. The Forcing Cup is the best and easiest I have seen. You get six magnetic dice and a magnetic mug. Each of the dice will only land on its force number when tossed into the mug. Easy…
Also just received a few more of the Dual Position Half Dollars many of you have been asking me about, and the half dollar size Coin Cylinder Nouveau is around two weeks away from getting here.
►Forcing Cup:
This is a gimmicked ceramic coffee mug and a set of gimmicked dice that can be used to control, in advance, which numbers are going to be rolled.
You can use these to force numbers for many different types of routines. All the props look natural and can be separately examined.
Unlike many forcing systems, there is no need to carry extra accessories or gimmicks. Simply bring the cup and the dice, and you are ready to perform anywhere. Everything is completely self-contained.
The cup we carry is known as the large size and can be used to force up to three dice simultaneously.

►Dual Position Triple Split Coins:
Triple Split sets of thin magnetic coins have become very popular. They have also replaced the use of shells in many routines. There have been many versions released by many different companies but most are basically the same. Until now…
What Ted Bogusta created is a magnetic system he calls Dual Position which uses specially designed and manufactured magnets that allow the magnetic coins to overlap without aligning. This system allows you to place the overlapping coins in your hands, on the table, or even in the spectators’ hands.

Just received another shipment of autographed copies of Tipnician. Bob recently told me that he used to perform the first and last trick in the book when people asked him about it.
►Tipnician:
Bob Chesbro originally published this book after many magicians started performing his routines for each other without crediting. Those routines started being associated with the performers instead of him. That is when his friends convinced him to put out the book.
Although many of the routines in this book employ thumbtips, the applications are nothing like what you would expect. Bob used to fool many magicians with these routines because they never suspected the tip. You will learn magic using coins, cards, folding coins, pens, salt, purse frames, hats, tobacco, and cigarettes.

►Candy Vault:
This is a quick and easy visual where a blue Tic Tac is placed on top of its clear box that is full of white Tic Tacs and it penetrates through, so it is inside. It can also be done in reverse, so the blue TicbTac penetrates out of the box and into your hand.
The Tic Tac box you get is not gimmicked so you can move everything from inside it to any container that houses similar looking candies.

►BACK IN STOCK:
I am often seen carrying my gaffed coin sets in these small coin wallets. I really like them.
►Cowhide Coin Wallet:
This is a beautiful and extremely well-made leather coin wallet that can hold more coins than it appears that it should. It can easily hold up to four dollar-sized coins or six half-dollar-sized coins.
The overall size is 2.25” x 2” when closed. It is made of fine soft leather with a lining.

►MY LATEST RELEASE:
►Coin Copier:
The basic routine involves a metal box which is referred to as a tiny counterfeiting machine. You dump the four coins out of the box; a Japanese coin, a Swiss coin, a British coin and a US coin. Using the Japanese coin as a sample each coin is placed in the box and one at a time, as the box is waved over the Japanese coin, the coin inside instantly turns into a duplicate of the Japanese coin. This is repeated until all four coins have turned into Japanese coins and everything is examinable.

“All magicians worthy of the name count on the ‘patter’ or description of what is being done to suggest to the eyes and ears of the audience just what he wishes their minds to believe.”
…Julien J. Proskauer (Modern Magic Manual, 1939)
