Incredible illusion packed into a tiny chest!
For some time Andy has been telling me to get this item for my collection. Well, it's easier said than done as this item was long ago discontinued and practically impossible to find on sale.

Fortunately, Alan's wife recently found several mint painted mini-magic items stored away for years and long forgotten in a storage area of their home. Now, that is one true treasure find! I was most fortunate to get a chance to acquire these items and now that I own this particular piece, I can see why Andy was so excited about it.

It's a clean cut and restored ribbbon effect, but what beautiful and ingenious little chest to accomplish the effect. The workmanship is superb and the method so clever that, when I first unwrapped the item from the parcel I took a good amount of time to just marvel at the construction and mechanics. One observation I need to mention is that the cute dragon design on the chest is NOT a decal, but actually entirely HAND-PAINTED! Thanks Andy for a great recommendation and to Alan for the great magic.

Colourful Props and Great Routine!
Well, this is my third long discontinued children effect built by Alan to be added to my collection. It's quite a handful of props, but a beautful apparatus overall, and it has everything for a great colourful, clever, and easy to perform effect that will have the kiddies participating extensively in the magic to follow.

These are large props; the ABC block itself measures 3 1/2 inches. His children effects sure take up a lot of space, especially if your collecting interest lies mostly on close-up or mini-magic apparatus, but I wouldn't hesitate to add more if possible. Alan never fails to impress me with his magic, despite quite a collection, and Alphabet Antics left me with more admiration of his inventive mind and outstanding craftsmanship.
