Great work Simon and very nice video too. Love it. The effect is so simple but the principal is puzzling

Ok so one BlockBuster left. Catch it while you can! If you want it PM me today and I'll be able to ship it with the others tomorrow

Blockbuster arrived simon ,thank you for the stargate to very good.im a bit confused on the setup i was never any good with diagrams,ie flat pack furniture etc,It came on friday,but was a bit under the weather.Just ordered 2 terri rogers books,something to read when there is nothing on tv
Regards Peter

It takes a bit of practice but once it clicks you'll have the knack.
I can make a super secret tutorial video if that helps, or if you have any specific queries PM me and I'll give you a hand.
When I first read Terri's instructions I had the block in my hand and went word for word.
Good luck and thanks again!

A video tutorial would be great simon,my brain is better at video than seeing things written down
Pete think ill make a jumbo stargate i got fingers like bananas lol

Yes a video would be nice - looking forward to mine

Simon, every time I receive a package from you, I feel like a spoilt child
Today I received your Blockbuster, and it really works great! And what a fine rings are attached!
Thank you for the extra card trick, and the Einstein puzzle! Realize that I have the 2 other Einstein too, also mirror puzzles, but haven't seen this one in the Dutch shops.

So thank you for all these gems!

Nice day for Rob, a desk full of cool things that just came in the mail. Have fun!!!

The way these are packaged they look just like what we see here coming across the border from Mexico found in door panels and head liners. I wonder how may times they get dog sniffed and x-ray during shipping.

hah! I did think that after I posted that pic.
I'm glad yours turned up safe rob, it's nice to see some of my work next to a magic wagon piece. tutorial video on the way...

I've just uploaded a private video of the tutorial so those of you who already have this I've PMd you.
Still one left BTW!

This is really a fine piece of magic Simon made, it's a quick and impossible looking effect! He even added some spare parts, nice guy as he is

thank you rob, you're too kind

I too want to emphasize what a great fellow Simon is to deal with. We all got a nice litle extra trick and also spare parts. Mine didn't work but after seeing the video tutorial I tried it again and I now have a 100 % rate of succes. It has become one of those litle tricks that sits in my display cabinet (in the 'set' position) waiting for people to ask 'show me something'
Looking forward to your next release Simon, which I hope will be a run of your Coin Through Match (Redux)

Thanks simon for the tutorial,i now understand the workings of it and it is superb.That will take pride of place
on my shelf to,I watched some of your videos to,excellent.I wonder what your next project will be,thanks again -: Pete

Wow thanks gents, I'm really glad you're happy with your tricks. Have fun bamboozling your nearest and dearest

I was recently made aware of this extremely clever trick, and I may well end up making my own 3D-printed version of it. Not sure I can make any improvements to the original, though.

This was a nice thread, and I still have and cherish the wooden version of Blockbuster with the celtic design...
I wonder Øyvind, did you manage to figure out how this one worked, or did you read the explanation?
I think it’s fun to make a 3D printed version! Yes this is indeed a very clever item!

Rob, I was sent the instructions by someone that wondered if it was a trick that would be suitable for 3D-printing, so I cannot claim to have figured it out. I actually hadn't seen the trick before reading the instructions, so I never really got the chance to even try figuring it out. That said, I'm fairly certain I would have come up empty in trying, at least on the specifics.

I've done a little prototyping now, and it isn't that easy to make it work reliably, to be honest. I'm going to see if I can make a small improvement to it.

By chance I came across this thread and find the trick really remarkable. I also have no idea how
it works and have seen a Breeze version in an auction recently but with shipping and customs it would have been too expensive. Is there a chance for a new edition by Simon or other sources ?

There is a chance I will make a version, but I am working a bit on and off with it. As I mentioned, getting it to work reliably (as in every time) is a challenge. As far as I could read from other sources, other commercially released versions also can have this issue.

When your version is perfected - would it be available to others ?

Most likely, yes. At least to people in here, should anyone want it.
