I remember a time when many magicians, especially family entertainers used to produce clear boxes full of spring flowers from an empty bag. It never made any sense to me, the box of fake flowers never existed in the real world. Amazingly there are tons of companies in China that still make and sell those.

What I am introducing you to today is the first logical production using that method. This version looks like a box with a toy car inside.

►Zeta Cars:

This is a practical improvement of the classic flower box production where three boxes of flowers were produced from an empty bag.

Using a similar method this version produces four boxes of collectible toy cars which are spring loaded to look like they are 3D.

Once opened the boxes that hold the fake cars are around 7.25” wide, 3.25” deep, and 3.25” high.

►Organic Coin Wash:

This is a unique coin routine using gimmicked coins and some simple handling.

The basic routine revolves around three US Quarters which one at a time change into Brass washers with holes in them.

►BACK IN STOCK:

Got a shipment of some nicely designed envelopes below that have been out of stock for a while. In particular the Tyvek two-way out envelopes that are back in both brown and black versions. Also in stock is the highly opinionated Max Maven book.

►Marvelous Nesting Envelopes:

This is a very easy, no palm, no sleight, method of doing a signed card or prediction to a nest of envelopes that are on display the entire time.

Using the Mullica Wallet system, a playing card or prediction can be secretly and simply inserted inside this triple secured, impossible location, that has been held by the spectator from the beginning.

►Tyvek Himber Envelopes:

This is a double-sided envelope that is made to look the same on both sides. You can have predictions on each side for multiple out routines or switches. You can also use it as a coin envelope since that is what it most resembles. It is a little larger than Poker size cards.

►Parallax:

Parallax is a collection of 61 influential, thought-provoking, and oftentimes controversial essays he contributed to MAGIC magazine from September 1991 to August 1996.

Rich with commentary, observations, and caustic editorializing, all composed in in a tone both rich and distinct, these essays have finally been collected in a single volume.

►LATEST RELEASE:

►Brain Bogglers:

For many years Meir Yedid has been opening his stage, parlor, and formal close-up shows with a series of three optical illusions/brain twisters where he explains how magic works. The premise is that we tell you the truth, but your brain lies to you.

The three optical illusions/brain twisters are the standard Word Skipping Illusion, Cornsweet Illusion, and Thatcher illusion, although they have been modified to optimize the live presentations and make them more interesting.
