Astor was in the US and contacted me about his new trick where you visually produce money and immediately hand it out. A friend of mine picked some up for me and I can now offer it to you before the magic community becomes aware of it. I made a quick trailer for it: HERE
►Wonder Wallet:
A quick visual where you produce a real bill you can give away as a gift or use for a magic trick.
You display a plastic folder with a square hole in the middle which you can see through. With a quick shake a real bill appears in the hole.
You turn the folder over and show the bill through three windows. You can then cleanly pull out the bill and give it away.

►The Long And Short Of It:
The Jastrow Illusion, which is often referred to as the Boomerang Illusion, is one of the rare optical illusions that looks amazing even though you may understand how it works. The basic effect is that by placing the two objects in a certain position the objects can be made to look longer or shorter than each other. There have been many applications in magic, and this is one of the best.
It is a self-contained routine with four brightly painted pieces of custom-crafted wood in an elegant burgundy sack. It is a complete performance piece packed with amazement and amusement. Laughs and gasps combine as pieces of wood appear to change size in ever more intriguing and colorful combinations.

►Number 4 Envelope:
This is an ingeniously constructed four-way-out envelope using an origami type fold that allows it to handle very cleanly and fairly.
The four compartments can be easily opened from the four sides of the envelope and each side can hold one or more playing cards.
Depending on which way you start to open the envelope you can hand it to your spectator to remove the card or small object.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:

Many years ago, Rocco came up with a coin gimmick that can be used to display four US Quarters while instantly changing to three Quarters, then two, and finally one Quarter, it can also be shown in reverse, going from one to four Quarters. The displays can be made one handed which allows for a very clean in the hand’s coins across.
The utility device can be used for many different routines, both stand-up and close-up. The tutorial includes easy, intermediate, and advanced coin routines that are taught by Rocco Silano, Dr. Michael Rubinstein, and Meir Yedid.

PS: Was very sad to hear about the passing of Joe Stevens. He and his family helped redefine how magic is marketed and how conventions are run. They also helped promote and inspire a generation of magicians.
“I consider magic the art of trickery… and you’re not doing magic unless you’re ‘fooling’ the audience.”
