Got this from Howie Swartzman years ago at a Tannens Jubilee.

Paddle Effect:

The paddle had a flap that let you change the dots.

So it basically had 4 sides which killed magicians.

No, you could not examine it.

It was plastic with a thin canvas-like material that helped you
move the flap inside your hand.

So Is this still available, Somewhere?

Mine got stolen with my whole fanny pack fill of expensive props.

Neznarf, I think I may have had that paddle trick. It seems like it had a hinge type fabric that could move onto the 2 sides of the paddle. Or maybe the ending was to move the hinge gimmick to show completely different color spots? Anyway, I think it was about 20 years ago and I no longe have the item and doubt if anyone sells it. Bob

It does not seem impossible to make.

Maybe some one will make them again?

I sure would be interested.

All of Howie Swartzman magic is in the hands of collectors, it was all auctioned off 4 years ago.

4 years ago Howie Swartzman was 91 living in an assisted living home.

Neznarf, so you have an expensive collectors Item even though you wore it out.

Howie Swartzman had most of his items made in Europe by popular mini magic exotic wood craftsman of the day. They no longer are around as well.

I too had this effect under a different name ...
the nearest I can find on the internet is:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGIC-SIGNAL-PA......96780022

Is this what you are refering to?
I have seen better quality, but I will have to seek it out.

Not what I described but am familiar with that one

Hot Rodish trick folds to changed dots.
