As you may realised, it has been quite some time since I last updated my website and blog due to my busy schedule on work as well as other commitments.
I will do my very best to bring you more exciting eBooks in 2015. Most of my ideas were recorded in my personal notebooks. Hopefully, my eBooks would be out very soon around March 2015.
Thanks for the support and I apologise for the delay on releasing some of my eBooks.

My Review - Deluxe Nest of Wallets
I have been enamoured on the plot where you vanish a coin or ring and later the performer retrieves it from a nest of plastic containers or alien saucer (if you know what I mean) and the like. I am so sure such plot would appeal to most magicians including myself.
To be honest, I have constantly looking for such magic props to incorporate into my act but over the years, I am not content to what I am doing because in order to use such props, you have to do some preparation and the like. Recently, I got the Deluxe Nest of Wallets by Nicolas Einhorn and Alan Wong from one of the magic dealers this year.
The quality of the wallets are outstanding and they are highly durable. Upon learning the secrets, I discovered that the method behind these wallets is so easy and very clever. Unlike those conventional props where there is a "knacking" part you need to overcome. In effect, you may borrow a ring or a coin. You magically cause the borrowed item to vanish and appear in the wallets.
All in all, this is a great set of wallets and I am glad that I perform this all the time in my act. I would recommend highly for those of you who favour such effect. You will not be disappointed with the quality of these wallets.

My Review - The Legendary Hierophant
One of the most interesting parts in going through card magic books is its vast array of materials with various plots and routines.
This month, I am going to review my recent encounter with a hierophant. I am just kidding! The subject is Mr Racherbaumer's "The Legendary Hierophant" which is an excellent book that I truly enjoyed recently. There are various interesting plots to be explored and I think an investment in this book is worth it. I am a fan of Joseph K. Schmidt on his black-and-white illustrations in which you will find them in this book.
The plots covered in this book are card sleights, open prediction, collectors, card sandwiches and many more. I found a few items to my liking and technically speaking, this book is suitable to intermediate or advanced cardician.
I will share some of my favourite items once I going through the whole book. At the same time, I will update my review as I progress further into this book.

My Review - Dresscode
As you may aware that in my blog, my passion and interest would always be card magic. What I am about to review is something beyond my comfort zone all this while. I should say that I am quite lucky to get Dresscode by Calen Morelli out of my curiosity and with a special price that I got from a dealer. This is one of the DVDs that I really enjoyed, if not one of the most practical and unique magic that can be done nothing more than an ordinary shirt. The concept behind of the magic is simply brilliant!
The reason I enjoyed this DVD is because the flow of the learning process is organised very well. Just click "play" and you will be directed to an A to Z workshop. Calen explains in great details such as the materials needed on how to construct the shirt as well as tips on perfoming the Dresscode.
Surprisingly, the construction of the shirt is not difficult at all as Calen explains step by step on how to make one for yourself. If you are like me who always like to put on a coat or a blazer while performing close-up magic for walkaround situation, this is a great opportunity not to miss the magic. It is worth to add this into your act as it has many applications. You will be excited to play around with ideas as you move along with the tutorial.
I also like Calen includes some nice subtleties as well as troubleshooting on the process of making the gimmick. Thus, making this DVD an excellent and complete tutorial. Most of my questions in terms of making and performing Dresscode were all addressed by Calen.
All in all, this is an excellent effect and it is well worth to add this into your repertoire. I really like to use this as revelation and I can attest that it garners huge reaction from layman. I am glad I did!
