The World’s First Titanium Card Clip

By Jim Krenz Leave a Comment

“A strong clip made of a magical metal that feels refined and elegant.”

The Titanium Card Clip has surpassed my previous favorite (which was Dan and Dave's brass version of the Jennings/Porper card clip). Titanium is a magical metal. It has amazing strength, yet is surprisingly light in weight.

The finish is refined and the thinness accentuates its simple elegance. The clip is so thin, one might be worried that it will bend with use—but Titanium is more than up to the task of endurance. This is a tool that will last a lifetime.

The best part is that my decks slide smoothly into and out of the Titanium Clip—much smoother than aluminum or brass clips. This is a classy clip, and I have to say that I am extemely proud to own it. My highest recommendation.

A review of reviews

By Jim Krenz Leave a Comment

What is most important to you when it comes to reading a magic review?

Questions that I believe need to be asked of each product:

  • Can this fool my audiences?
  • Can this entertain my audiences?
  • Is it practical/will it go into my act?

The following are secondary concerns, but should be considered:

  • The quality of the props
  • The quality of the instructions
  • The overall satisfaction with the product

Finally:

  • How accurate are the advertising claims and trailer?
  • How original is the effect?
  • How original is the method?

What is most meaningful for you?

Eddie Raymond’s Invisible Thread

By Jim Krenz Leave a Comment

I've been procrastinating on writing this up. How do you talk about something that is invisible? If I post a photo, and you can't see the invisible thread, that means it's a great product, right? Hell, I could post a photo of nothing, and you'd never know. Quite the conundrum.

Let's start off with the packaging. The threads arrived in a card-stock envelope—much better than a paper envelope. Each item is in a tiny, tidy ziplock bag. And that is it. No instructions, no DVD, no tips or handling suggestions. Just raw supplies, intended for the working professional.
