This one baffled me...
Re: This one baffled me...
Hi Simon, I have now also received my Dice Tower and it is truly a superb piece of work. The quality of the workmanship is fantastic and the extra bits are the icing on the cake. It is an absolute pressure to own and to perform. I am very pleased to have this item as part of my magic collection....many thanks.
Bill.

Re: This one baffled me...
Buddha Papers, yes, but with some extra twists I like this and actually had to watch two times before I saw what happened.

Re: This one baffled me...

Now you see me...
Re: This one baffled me...
Nice twist"s" on an old classic. I like the two folds per paper in this version. Thanks for posting!
Re: This one baffled me...
Really niceee....3 changes....my processor is little bit to late today, I need more than 2 times watching the demo to figure out on how it works. Thanks for sharing David
Re: This one baffled me...
Just received my Dice Tower yesterday and absolutely love it! Best magic purchase I’ve made in a while.
This is one of those tricks that you can’t stop playing with. I had the same joy when I first got my hands on Tenyo’s “Ninja Experiment.” This is simply a great piece to have in miniature.
Thanks for all the work you put into this Simon!!!

Re: This one baffled me...
Totally agree with you Kirk!
Simon what a great job you did by making this item so good-looking, so perfect-working, and with that very smart gimmick makes the illusion even more difficult to understand for the specs!
This works like a dream, and yes, like Kirk said, real fun to play with!
And I was also surprised by the well-written instructions, nicely printed! Nothing can actually go wrong with that!
So yes, a big thank you for making this little clever gem Simon!

Absolutely fantastic and super original coins across routine! Or should I say cards across?
Thanks for sharing... With this kind of thinking old tricks can become new and unexpectedly surprising!

Greetings Simon,SimonC wrote:Thanks for the nice feedback guys I'm really pleased with how this has worked out, it's a very workable trick. Pete I like your idea about the rounded corners and I did try it actually but I found that the sharper edges had more visual impact. My main aim was to create a high contrast throughout the trick to give the final reveal maximum impact. My initial thought to have coloured dots worked but fell a little flat so I went back to scratch and decided on a black/white theme throughout (including the case and lids) to make the final colour really jump out. (It's why I wore a white shirt in the clip too!) a bit like the bit in the wizard of Oz where it's suddenly all in colour.
I finished cutting all of the components today and am hoping to do a large chunk of assembly this weekend.
I have cut enough for seven sets so there will be seven available in the batch.
I've worked out a price and they come out at £75 GBP (this price includes postage anywhere in the galaxy)
I will provisionally put three aside for Pete, Rob and BillD, if you guys change your mind just drop me a PM.
So that leaves 4 sets left, if anyone is interested just drop me a PM and I'll put one aside for you.
Thanks again for all your feedback and support
Si
Thanks to John for pointing this out...
Please note in the clip there appears to be a little discrepancy in the dots of the larger die. This is due to me mixing up a part from my final design with one of my prototypes.
I would be thrilled to have one of these. I am a BIG fan of the effect, and want to support your wonderful work. Please count me in on this.
Bob~
and now, on with the show ...

Re: This one baffled me...
Roberto, I have been on the fence in the past about this effect. I own several kind of these block-through-wand effects because they intrigue me. I am saving to order the Vampire Block Escape (or 'Visible Vampire') in the future by the way (your video has something to do with it ).
However after reading several comments on TMC (http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view ... &forum=218) I have decided not to buy this version. The block may not be examined fully and it is 'finicky'. Some moves are necessary to pull this one off. I think, as so many magic tricks, on video this looks awesome, but in a real life situation this might be much less impressive.

Funny you posted this Roberto, I just purchased Cambell's Cube Off see here
It is very well priced and I got it here for $35.00 U.S.

The effect is good and my version I find I can hit the top very hard and not have the cube drop, but if I give the tube a soft hit on my lower hand the cube drops perfectly. It's not a bad version for the price, although you can't show inside the tube when the cube is on the wand like in the version you posted, but the large holes in the tube sell the fact that the cube is locked on the wand anyway.

Re: This one baffled me...
Yes the cube from "Visible Vampire" is very different form any one on the marked....very clever and more complicated than you would think based on the other similar effects.....but....not for close uo.David DeTenyo wrote:Roberto, I have been on the fence in the past about this effect.

I also haven't bought the Astor one......it still has me baffled.....but don't convince me.

Yes the big difference with the Astor tick is that you can show the cube lying on the bottom of the tube.PeterW wrote:Roberto B. wrote:Could this be fairest versión of this trick? (even more tan the Mikame one):

Re: This one baffled me...
I think the Mikame Final Penetration is the best one of this type. It is also completely examinable and easy to do!
Re: This one baffled me...
Thanks John for your comments on Mikame's Final Penetration. I did some research on the effect and I had to watch the Youtube video of this effect several times before I clued into how I think it was being done. If my thinking is correct its "simply" brilliant in how it works. I can see how this effect can be created so that handing it out to the audience will allow a good examination with (almost) zero chance of the spectators figuring out how it is done. The one "move" that it requires is so clean and innocent and that makes it a brilliant effect!
It's amazing how some of the best magic is done with the most simplest of ideas!!! Yeah I now wish I had purchased this version over the version I bought : )
