That's the plastic thing out of my kids magic set!" |

Never once has it ever been mentioned whenever I have performed it .
You can say that about TT’s and many many gaffed decks . It’s how you use this props that matters and typically kids who get them in magic kits never use them to their full potential . Certainly Lee Smiths routine you would never even think it was the same gaff being deployed anyway . It’s a great effect and if you dismiss it you may as well dismiss marked decks , sven decks and countless other effects . Not to mention DL’s etc , of course it would be absurd to do so . Most kids and parents don’t even know what half the stuff does in these magic kits anyway and it’s a 5 min wonder the second they have to actual practice something . Best wishes Gaz 🙂 |

Dynamo is a virtual unknown in the USA among the general public so I don’t think his magic sets were sold here although I could be wrong about that. But no one knows Dynamo here so I don’t think his name would create many sales. TBH, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dynamo perform and I’ve been into magic for decades. Possibly I may have seen him but I really don’t know what he looks like. I’ve only heard of him by seeing his name mentioned here on the Café. But it may have been exposed in other magic kits marketed here but not in the sets I’ve seen or purchased, although that is admittedly not all that many. |

I perform cups and balls, linking rings, and a paddle trick (Turbo Stick)...all of which can be found in most magic kits aimed at beginners/children.
Why don't I give a @#$% that people might call me out for using tricks from a magic kit they gave their kids for Christmas??? |

Imagine this scenario 10 years ago. |

Yes but they also know your chop cup is a prop and so what .
It’s about entertainment and most people of course don’t believe in real magic anyway . Infact more people believe in Santa Claus than magic so I am sorry to spoil your illusion . Great effects done well in an entertaining way is all that matters imo . I watch the same films on several occasions , I know what’s going to happen but they are still very entertaining . Linking rings all though not my thing are a classic of magic . Have a great weekend Gaz 🙂 |

Is the US dollar one the same size as the card WOW ones?
I ask because I imagine there will be some wear and tear carrying this around in your pocket. Would be nice if I could use the originals as backup/replacement cases.

How come Wow Money doesn’t seem to be available anywhere now?
It was obviously available in 2019 which is when the last post is dated. But if you Google it now you get nothing except a couple of old reviews. Does anyone know what happened to it? |

Thank you Craig, I guess you are right. What perplexes me is that almost every other playing card-based variation of Wow, including the original first version, is still available. Just not the money ones. But thanks anyway. I’ll keep looking.
