Re: Legend by Thomas Baxter
In my mind the cheque and the cards are important and valuable objects in this effect. Hence the need for a safe container. My original thought was to use this for a television special -- to have the briefcase filled with actual money, rather than just a cheque. In that case the briefcase would be a...

Legend is a version of Any Card At Any Number that I have not yet released to the open market. The effect is that you hand someone a closed briefcase with the warning not to let it out of his possession until the performance is over. You explain that there are two things in the briefcase that will b...

All of the references I've found to the original set of Stars of Magic note that it came in a red binder. The set that I have is in a BLACK binder marked with the Stars of Magic logo on the front.

The original opening for Spellbound had a reveal of the band on stage and then a black-art flash appearance of Doug in a Mephisto's Portal type of setup.
Spellbound was a very different show than The Magic Show, book-wise.

Re: ThoughtControl Wallet now available
A number of people have written to ask the size of the wallet. It's a regular breast pocket wallet, measuring approx. 3.5 in. by 7 in.
A larger sized wallet is available for people in countries where the currency is larger than that here in North America.
