You do VooDoo? I do VooDoo!

Without a doubt, one of Alan’s most intricate and cleverly operating pieces of apparatus. This jewel allows a completely free choice by the spectator–absolutely any one of four choices can be made. Without any hedging, equivoque, magician’s choice, or any other form of Tom-foolery, the performer clearly shows he has perfectly predicted the choice. And not only that, the next performance may have a completely different outcome, as may the one after that, and the one after that, and so on, and so on. In short, the routine is very impressive. But even more impressive is the craftsmanship, both visible and invisible, in this piece. Who do VooDoo? Alan do VooDoo! Thanks, Alan!

Domino, Dom-i-don’t-no!

This is a clever set of dominoes whose spots change color depending on which color ribbon is associated with a given domino. So, a yellow ribbon changes white spots to yellow; a blue ribbon changes white spots to blue. Now, just as you think you know, you don’t know! The yellow and red ribbons are used to change white spots to red and yellow! Finally, the red and yellow spots are subjected to the red ribbon alone, and, you guessed it, all the spots turn red! What is so great about Alan’s magic in general, and this effect in particular, is how he takes a principle of operation, applies it, and then, part way through the routine, he extends the principle to amplify the impact of the effect. Once again, absolutely wonderful craftsmanship and creative genius is on display here. Thanks, Alan, for making so many of us so happy by sharing your skill and creativity.

Eye-yi-yi-yi-yi, I like it!

Just received my newest Alan Warner creation: Eye of Isis. Without a doubt, it is one of the most beautiful pieces in the Alan Warner Collection, and the clever design of the prop makes the magic baffling. What I have come to love about Alan’s magic (in addition to the obviously beautiful craftsmanship) is the clever presentations and subtle handlings of the props which Alan provides in his detailed and well-written instructions. Eye of Isis is no exception to this. My wife was completely bamboozled when I performed the effect for her. She said, "I kept watching for you to do [a move], but I never saw you do it!" Guess what? Didn’t need to, thanks to Alan’s cleverness. This piece has been around for quite a while. I’m sure glad I finally got it. It’s a beaut!

Twisted!

That’s the way I play this one. I act completely baffled about the way the domino won’t turn over in spite of the turning over of the case. When it appears that I have hit on the solution to the problem, the domino becomes almost as twisted as I am. This gets great reactions, and I love it. Thanks, Alan, for making something so good out of something so simple.

Peiking Puzzler

I just picked this piece up in an estate sale. Boy, was I lucky! This is typically beautifully crafted and marvelously conceived. What I like about almost all of Alan’s effects are the clever methods, and Red Chinese Puzzle is no exception. It is a steal at the current retail price. Get one!

This one’s hard to beat(le)

What a wonderful effect! Not difficult to perform, but very clever with great built-in subtleties. I just love the way you think, Alan. And of course, the craftsmanship is superior.

What a domino theory!

I tried and tried to figure out the method for this trick before I bought it. I couldn’t, and when I received it I found out why. What clever thinking from the master himself! This is a great item for tablehopping. It’ a compact trick that packs a huge wallop!

Better get this one…it’s a steal!

Jack the Lad is a wonderful piece of magic with more great subtleties built into the routine. There are two major pieces in this effect. The teak cover is beautifully made and handles wonderfully. The pine crate is very realistic in appearance and fits the presentation perfectly. This is the most I’ve spent for an Alan Warner piece, but it was worth every penny. Thanks, Alan!

A Serpent Success

This prediction effect is another of the beautiful Alan Warner Egyptian pieces, and the presentation story included with the props is wonderful. This is one of the more colorful pieces in Alan’s collection, and the effect is a beauty, complete with humor and a magical zinger. I’ve even figured out a way to repeat the effect for the same audience. And such craftsmanship, you wouldn’t believe it…oh yes, you would. After all, it is an Alan Warner!
