I have been playing with and even performing the card routine that is taught on the Aw Sum tutorial. I think it is excellent. It uses the very clever Aw Sum cube which is a 2×2 Rubic type cube with numbers on the squares.
It allows you to secretly force a number or gain the sum of a hidden surface and use that information to your advantage during card routines, mental feats, or routines that require the secret information. Should it sell out I have more coming next week.
â–ºAw Sum:
You get a 2×2 Rubik type cube with numbers written on the squares. It is actually very difficult to solve a 2×2 cube but luckily you won’t have to do that.
The numbers on the cube are strategically placed so you can use it to perform some very good routines, similar to how dice routines work… but much more deceptively.
You can use the cube for mind reading routines, predictions, forces, and much more. Four routines are taught in the hour-long tutorial but the card at any number is perhaps the best and worth the price of the entire trick.

Although I have not dived into it’s uses I believe that many of the routines that Aldo Colombini taught on his Card & Dice Deceptions video series could be modified to be used with the Aw Sum cube. The videos are available: HERE
Just received a small shipment of Dean Dill’s switching coin wallet and also just ordered all the remaining US stock that will be arriving next week. If you were looking for these, this is your chance to get one… or two.
â–ºDean’s Coin Wallet:
This is a very nicely made coin purse that Dean Dill used with his coin magic. It is a double-sided switching purse that snaps shut. It looks the same on both sides so you can use if for multiple outs, switches, or just carry your coins and small props.
Includes written instructions by Dean Dill and a bonus routine by Michael Weber. Produced by Alan Wong.

â–ºAs It Stands:
You get two plastic stands that can be used to hold/display a prediction or even your smartphone while recording videos.
The folding stands were designed to be used by mentalists and magicians to display predictions but also have a built-in card reveal.
Watch and buy: HERE
â–ºOh No!:
You display a small box with built in scissors and a tube down the center. You place your finger (or any similarly shaped object like a borrowed pen) into the tube from underneath so it protrudes from the top of the tube.
The scissors are then used to apparently cut through your finger and as a convincer you lift half the tube to show that the middle of the finger is completely gone even though the fingertip sticking out of the tube is still there and wiggling.
Everything is then restored, and your finger is back to the way it started. The finger is examinable but not the prop.

Stay happy, Meir
PS: Have been working hard on a new routine for my stage act. Unfortunately, it will be replacing the magician favorite tie routine I do. Hope to debut it on the 24th.
