Re: Mini Tangram Paradox

Hi Ron, I looks like it is pretty much sold out everywhere at the moment!

Have you seen TCC Magic's version of this type of effect - The Ultimate Puzzle? I don't own it, but it looks good!

Re: This one baffled me...

Hi Øyvind, Yes, I own this effect, and don't think there are any performance videos around. I believe Wayne still makes these, however, I haven't spoken to him for over 20 years. Because of this I am not at liberty to discuss the modus operandi, as I am sure you will understand. BTW, the photos don'...

Re: BREXIT and taxes

Just recently I was looking at bidding on an eBay UK listing for a MW item……the shipping to France was going to be £20.45 and then the UK Global Shipping Program wanted to add another £64.96 as an up front tax making it a total of £85.41 (38%) on top of the starting bid price. Obviously, if the item...

I don't know this particular version, but the Wayne Mattox version of "Bird through the mirror" is incredible and can be examined......however, it is very expensive. The latest stage version can be seen by using the following link (it is about 3/4 way down the page) - http://www.spanglefish.com/work...
