A few years ago, my friend Boris Wild was messing with a lot of people using his fooling packet trick Very Wild. It was just re-released using the Phoenix large pip cards. If you haven’t seen it before you will be surprised.
I also just received a bunch more of the visual Rubik cube instant solve that sold out immediately last week.
►Very Wild:
A visual card routine where four indifferent cards become the four Aces.
Comes complete with all necessary gimmicked cards (Phoenix large index poker size), a plastic envelope, and access to an online video tutorial.

►Tic Tac PerfecToe:
What makes it special is that it is a beautifully made self-contained wooden box which houses the props and hides the double reveal.
The basic routine involves a game of Tic Tac Toe with an audience member where you each place a wooden Tic Tac Toe piece until the board is complete. Of course, the game will be a draw.
As you remove the pieces from the box, a piece of wood is seen at the bottom with the word prediction written on it. You then turn over the prediction and it says “DRAW.”
You now explain that the real prediction was on the box. You turn over the box and etched in the wood is the exact layout of the game you just played.

►RD Insta Lite:
This is perhaps the best, easiest, and most visual Rubik Cube solve you will ever do.
The basic effect starts with a mixed-up cube that can be shown on all sides. You give it a few twists to make it seem more impossible to solve. And then… it visually solves itself.
The solved cube can be shown on all six sides and even handed out for examination.
The visual solve looks like trick photography. It is so visual that you will swear the stickers themselves are changing color!

►BACK IN STOCK:
I was looking back at my March numbers and was surprised that the Copper Silver Copper set was the best selling item, both in quantity and revenue. Surprised because I didn’t get to let you know when I added them to the site. They kept selling out to magicians who signed up for notifications. I just received a larger batch and Ted decided to make one set using Ben Franklin silver halves.
If you are curious about what the second and third best sellers were. One is above and the other is below. I had both shipped here by Priority.
►Dual Position Copper Silver Copper:
Connie Haden’s original Silver And Two Copper Transposition is a classic of coin magic which sparked hundreds of variations and handlings. This new gimmicked version designed by Ted Bogusta is likely the best.
What Ted did was take the classic set of coins and infused them with his DPS (Dual Position Magnetic System). The custom magnetic system allows you to do all the basic and classic routines plus many more displays and sequences that were never possible before.

►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.

►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.
