This is pretty cool!

Fantastic! It shows how patter and performance can sometimes be more powerful and entertaining then the effect itself!

Looking forward to it!

Yes, putting it under pressure might remove the slight bend completely, but I don't think it's worth the risk. Here's my idea to get rid of the paper clip: smart_guillotine2.jpg smart_guillotine3.jpg And how it looks before performing: smart_guillotine1.jpg This way the blade can be presented on bo...

Beautiful!

Cool Kirk! Nice find, thanks for posting!

No other problems, light issues or reflective issues are my concerns, but there may be solutions to them, it's still a great effect, and once the blade is impaled you are free to walk amongst a crowd and turn the guillotine around for all to see!

I also received Smart Guillotine today. It's method is much simpler than I imagined but clever. I am concerned about one aspect when it comes to showing the blade, but I won't post any comments yet until others receive there copy and get to see its method. I'll be curious to hear others comments on ...

This effect does sound quite unique, and being a woodworker I have an idea how it may be constructed. Very cool concept and an interesting effect!

I've been billed for Smart Guillotine and it should ship tomorrow! Looks like it's now available, can't wait for it to arrive!

I have an idea how it works and if I'm correct it's going to be pretty cool. My idea is why I purchased it!

I preordered Smart Guillotine with www.amiami.com and received this email from this morning. Excited for it to arrive! Thank you for ordering with AmiAmi. Good news, we were able to secure your order. Your order includes pre-order items and is scheduled to be available in Dec-2017. Shipping costs wi...

Hi David and Richard, I made 6 copies of Magical Door in Walnut wood several years ago. I sold all the copies at my magic club and unfortunately don't have any plans to make any more. I wood work in my free time and that was was a fun project to create and I was very happy with how they turned out. ...

If you like Cubio be sure and check out this video. It's called Rising Golden Ball and although not sold as a magic effect it certainly can be played that way. Watch the last few seconds of the video and pause it when they show an open picture of the ball. I made myself a 3" version out of a chrome ...

This puzzle lock was made by a friend of mine. I can guarantee you it will not be an easy solve!

Both versions look great, but personally the way Sugawara's version slow releases from the ribbon leads my eye to only one conclusion, there has to be a s*** in the ring and I wonder if the audience would be thinking that too. This would only be confirmed when upon asking I would have to refuse to h...

When you sanded the cylinder, what # grit sandpaper did you use?

Many thanks for all the compliments! Bob I ended up using a fine sanding sponge, it would most likely be equivalent to a 220 grit or finer sand paper. Hope that helps!

Hello all, for those that purchased Cleverly Threaded I was a little disappointed with the quality of the paint job done on this effect. I found mine started to flake and peel almost instantly, so I thought I would try giving it a new coat of paint. I found that a light sanding of the base and the t...

Interesting! I'm familiar with the original hover card, but the clean ability to grab the card in the air and show all faces is very cool. Nice effect!

Victor is correct on all his statements. I can't comment yet on quality as the effect hasn't arrived yet. But it does appear well made and I like that it folds flat for travel.

I recently saw this and thought the method employed was very cool so I purchased a copy. It's an effect marketed by Astor called Trio in case other forum members are interested. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S12250

Wow, fantastic collection!

A week is not a long time for shipping depending where the item is coming from.

Many thanks Simon! That reminds me my wife has one of those computer controlled paper cutters, And I have some black vinyl that I had forgotten about, so we should be covered, but I appreciate the offer!

I received my Cleverly Threaded effect. It was well package and shipping time was reasonable. I'm happy with my purchase as the price point was great but I believe they could have done a better job in painting the apparatus. This is not a big sore point with me as seeing it online I immediately didn...
