Review by George Guerra for Flight of the Falcon

5 out of 5

The Remarkable Alan Warner at his BEST!!

First, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andy Martin for this wonderful website . Through it, I rekindled my interest in magic and it opened my eyes to fantastic builders like Alan Warner and Richard Gerlitz. A few months ago a kind ebayer led me to discover that Alan was selling his beautiful mini-magic directly. I quickly ordered his catalogue and within its dazzling pages discovered this limited edition masterpiece. I promptly ordered #24. I knew one was left and immediately thought of Andy as a most deserving collector to own the one remaining piece. Andy’s magic has reached out beyond his immediate audience.

Now to this beautiful piece from Alan Warner. Words can’t describe my reaction on seeing this masterpiece from Alan when I opened the package after waiting 2 months. The woodwork and the entire effect as a whole is simply breathtaking.

Great magic and Beautiful props!

This is a very sweet Alan Warner effect. The props are beautiful and the effect is very clean. You show three thin wood plaques on both sides andthere is a Scarab super imposed in the middle of one of them. This cleanly dissappears, leaving a huge hole and arrives back in the box.

Great stuff!

Two great effects in one!

Firstly you reveal a secretly chosen color out of 4 and then you magically produce a second color.

Very clean, wonderful props. Probably one of the more overlooked Alan Warner effects!

Colorful and Interesting Transformation

Here’s a nice one from Alan Warner. You show 7 keys quite cleanly one at a time, and a plain key fob.

Then you count the days until you end up with one for today’s date and notice that the key has now been cut out and is missing, only to be found attached to the key fob.

Beautiful props, clean method, great magic!

Very Beautiful and Magical

To celebrate 25 years of Alan Warner Mini Magic, the Flight of the Falcon was created as a limited edition of just 25 units. I sneaked in under the wire and picked up the last unit. My thanks to George Guerra for informing me of this effect.

Well Alan really let his hair down on this masterpiece. The wood work is exquisite as always, but more intricate than usual with some wonderful inlaid work. Lots of color too, all in a beautiful presentation case.

The effect is simple: any one of the 3 chosen falcons dissappears from the casket and into the Reliquary. No force is involved and it can be repeated with a different outcome on another occaision.

Thank-you Alan for continuing to maintain such high standards.

Nice props, clean effect!

An interesting patter line that can be pulled off with some work. Or choose a different story! The effect is easy enough: you take out the intriciate bar and close the box. Then suddenly they switch places and the plain one is in your pocket with the intricate one back in the box.

Very well made props and workable method.

Review by Andy Martin for Card Case 20

Now This is a Card case!

Alan Warner, the master, always likes to put a spin on an old classic. Here he does just that with fine teak woods and up to 3 changes. How does he make such fine woodwork? That is the true magic!

Clever magic with viking runes

Another nice teak piece from Alan Warner. Box contains 24 wooden rune pieces, each with a different marking. Two are randomly selected by shaking the covered box and allowing two pieces to slip out through a slit in the box. The identity of these markings later found burned into a previously clear wooden tablet. Wonderful idea and entertaining.
