The next Magic Wagon release, The Golden Buddha, will be available on Sunday 26 November 2017.



Here is the description from Magic Wagon website:

A beautiful ornate plinth is shown along with a small Buddha statue. The Buddha is now placed on the plinth and is then covered with a clear tube. Even though it remains in full view, the Buddha is completely isolated and surrounded by the tube which is also much taller than the Buddha itself. Next, a solid tube is placed over the clear tube and a lid is placed on the top. The performer now explains about the miracles and powers of Buddha and allows the spectator to disassemble everything and, to their surprise, the Buddha has completely vanished!

The Golden Buddha has been inspired by one of the rarest micro magic effects by Magiro called Babushka. If you�re unfamiliar with the method, you�re going to be amazed by the ingeniously designed mechanism used in this baffling micro magic illusion.

This is one of the most charming and baffling miniature illusions ever created.

The entire outfit stands approximately 12.5cms tall and has been painstakingly and individually hand-crafted by our own exclusive artist.

The photos do not do justice to this absolutely gorgeous apparatus. This is, without question, one of the finest and most exquisitely detailed effects ever produced featuring a Chinese Bagua symbol, a lion bite sword and the flying Chinese dragon in clouds!

Special thanks to Mr. David De Graef for suggesting the ideas & consultations on this amazing piece of magic.

...and sold out!

That was very fast! it looks fantastic. cant wait to get my hands on mine! thank you

If past history is any indication I would bet that Stevens Magic will get a limited supply in the near future.

I'm looking forward to people's reviews once they receive their new Magic Wagon piece.

This looks very similar to Magic Wagon's popular Majestic Hydro Die effect which sold out quickly. This lends itself to an interesting story and doesn't use any water which some people may prefer (even if the water does add to the impossibility of it all).

I'm not surprised that it sold out fast. I'm looking forward to seeing some customer reviews and in knowing if the method is very different than Hydro Die.

Same method, different engine. If you have seen Babushka being performed the method becomes more obvious. I personally think Hydro Die is better because it requires less manipulation by the performer. Nice looking outfit though.

Now I bought it

Hi All, can anyone give me any info on where to get the additional props in this performance?

It is a "Golden Buddha" and "Tenyo Telesphere" combination.



Simon

It really adds to the effect I would also like to know if it is available

Thanks Simon. Does anyone know if the Tenyo Telesphere is still available to buy? I assume you also need two Buddha’s?
Thanks
James

Hey James,
Second hands T-127 Tenyo Telesphere do show up for sale from time to time, here (Tricks for sale or trade section, but you need 50 posts to have access) and on other auctions sites. Maybe you can also express your interest in the Tenyo section of the Café...?

Everything else you need is one MW-176 The Golden Buddha and you’re all set!

Good luck in your quest!
Simon

Hello James!

You will find from time to time a telesphere from Tenyo either here or on the famous bidding website. The trick itseld is really very very nice, so don't hesitate, even if you don't use it with the golden Buddha!!
Concerning the price, it will depend if it is used or not, mint, etc...
A fair price would be around 75 USD, usually, you see it around 120 USD, but it changes always.

good luck!

The Golden Buddha is a jewel of beauty but needs a lot of practice to really convince ...

I am not yet satisfied with the publicly shown demonstrations and am still working on another

Caution is also required when handling such handcolored objects, so always handle with clean hands

Yes you really need to handle with care. I still practise, I have made a "ring" with a magnet on, so I can perform standing up.

I hate that I missed this one.
