Have been working on this release for quit a while. It is an excellent stand-up routine with built in humor and is practically self-working. It can be used in formal close-up shows or large theaters.

While rummaging through the warehouse last week I came across 16 of Tom Mullica’s Sight Savers that I did not know I had.

The second the pandemic became widely reported on and restrictions began unfolding, most close-up magicians also began lamenting on social media that sponge ball magic, as we know it, has just come to an end.

I am releasing something new today. It is uncharacteristic of the rest of my line, but I was offered this opportunity and decided to go for it. I think you will like it. It is a set of card silks with a blank and a king that are perfect for TT use.

I hope you liked the Taillight Color Changing Knives from last week. I think they are a perfect conversation starter.

A few months ago, I introduced you to Terry Broshears hand-made color changing knives. Many of you picked up the Hot Rod Knives, and the many variations of the standard and stag knives.

Last week I mentioned that there are three coins across routines using a shell that are far better than all the others (my opinion).

One of the things that always bothered me was the designs used for the “Chinese Coins” in magic. Very often the Chinese characters on the coins spelled silly words, many of the coins had reverse images on them, the enamel colors on them made them look like toys, and I always felt guilty calling them Chinese coins.

I decided to incorporate the instructions to those Gaffed Put & Take tops here and show how the seemingly same prop can be used in a slightly different game.

I recently came across a toy I never knew existed. It is a spinning top with numbers one through six on top. The neat thing is that by holding the Top with the number facing down and pressing the bottom it locks that number into place and when you spin the top it lands with that number down.
