I have to stop making predictions on when products become available. The Dice Predictions are stuck at customs in Kentucky and one of the machines used to make the Coin Copier broke and there is no timeline on when the new parts become available.
Below is another autographed Steve Beam booklet that he used for a lecture in 2017. In my opinion, the color photograph at the end is a frame-able conversation starter. I show it at the end of the trailer.
Also picked up some expandable frisbee half dollars!
►Through The Trapdoor:
This is a very scarce booklet that Steve Beam put together for a private lecture in 2017 in Montreal for the Magic Collector’s Weekend. The full color photo on page 26 (that you can see in the trailer) is in my opinion worthy of framing.
The booklet covers Steve’s journey and thoughts about publishing his long running Trapdoor magazine. Covering the fun stuff throughout the journey, some humorous samples, photographs, cartoons, and a list of all the contributors.

►Jumbo Pop-Up Half Dollar:
This will not make you a star, but it is a funny and memorable item. It is basically a folding frisbee with an imprint of a Kennedy Half Dollar on it.
It is around 2.25-inches when folded and expands to around 7.75-inches. It can be used as a production item or even as a surface to do coin magic on during walk-around by having a spectator hold it.

►Blistering:
The classic Jack Kent Tillar blister concept has just gotten a new practical appliance that delivers prediction blisters on your fingers.
Imagine asking someone to choose a playing card or an ESP symbol. Then, with any lighter, you ask them to stare into the flame and imagine their chosen card or symbol. You then proceed to burn your forefinger and thumb under the flame. As you raise your fingers, the spectator sees a blister with a crystal-clear image appearing on your fingertips… The blister exactly matches their chosen card or symbol. (Using a lighter or fire is optional).

►BACK IN STOCK:
The Torn Corner Machines are now back in stock. Not much to say about them that I have not written before… except that they keep selling out.
►Torn Corner Machine:
The Torn Corner Machine is a playing card template that can be used to perforate duplicate cards in several different locations so cards can be set up to tear in almost the same way.
Although there are many ways to use this system the most obvious is to have a card selected. Tear the corner off. Give it as a receipt to the spectator so they can identify the original selection. You then destroy or vanish the rest of the card. As if by magic that card is now found in an impossible location and the corner that the spectator is holding matches the found card.
