RAZAMATAZZ MAGIC REVIEW BY MATT PARRO
There were 2 stands that both me a Stuart went to at the IBM Magic Convention, Eastbourne that impressed us and had a really good chat with the people on there!
First off was Razamatazz Magic, I do not perform 'kids’ magic but if I did this is where id be buying from.
These are MODERN !!! Yes I said the word all magicians seem to hate! These are modern looking tricks!! Which are made from quality materials. BIN that 1960's looking rabbit and get one of their props! You will not regret it! - Matt Parro
RAZAMATAZZ MAGIC REVIEW BY JOHN DERRIS
I came across a dealer stand selling the most incredible children’s effects. Not necessarily the magic but the graphics used on the cards and items they produced.
With pictures and cartoons of rabbits, etc that were absolutley stunning and of a quality that you could believe came from the hands of the Disney studios. They were the most outstanding graphics I have ever seen in magic offered by a dealer called “Razamatazz Magic” run by Andy and Sue Hobbs. I worked in the advertising business all my life and I tell you truly the sheer quality of their product was outstanding.
The proprietors told me they had commissioned top illustrators in the business to establish this high level of product. I am not into children’s magic so I have no axe to grind but I was bowled over by the best illustrated magic effects I have ever seen.
If you want to get some idea check out their web site and see if you don’t agree - John Derris

Puppet wand magic switcho box
Want to add a bit of magic to your puppet wand routine. Introducing the Wand Switcho box, launched at the IBM at Southport.
The magician opens up a wand case that they store their special magic wand in. Removes the wand and uses for a trick. It is then replaced into the case and door shut. Next time the magician opens the case the wand has magicially changed into a puppet wand. Of course the magician does not notice the change but the children will. Lots of fun to be had here.
The case will switch any of the Razamatazz magic puppet wands, so you can place Walter wand into the case and he changes into the clown wand OR place Walter into the case and he changes into the Super hero wand OR change the puppet wand back to a normal wand again !!! Very easy to use.
New trick for children's entertainers will be launched at the IBM Convention Southport
