Nielsen Dean’s Box – 2025 Batch – Video # 1And so it starts…I am grateful to God that the Dean’s Boxes have been selling well. Although I have other projects I am working on, it wouldn’t be wise to run out of stock on this item, so I am making another batch. I will be making one hundred boxes this time, and hopefully will have enough stock for two years.I am probably the last idiot on Earth that has decided to continue crafting items by hand. I am also idiotic by refusing to use AI on my posts. A little video post like this takes me two hours to write and edit.My eyesight continues to decline, but hopefully with continued use of my mind, I might avert dementia. 😜🤪There is a lot of planning that goes into making a simple box like the Dean’s Box. I have to use the space in my shop wisely, and plan each step so that I can think ahead on the build.I know I have documented this process before. I guess I have just about documented most of the projects on which I am working on social media. I hope I don’t bore you with this again.There are not too many months left this year. I will be making a few short trips though: One week to New Hampshire for a woodworking class, another short trip to Panama to do some paperwork and hang out with my family, and short trips to Texas and Indiana where I plan to explore the areas.In the meantime, there is work to do…This two minute video shows me cutting what will become the “back” of the boxes. This component “floats” in the box, so it doesn’t have to be too thick. I am using a veneered walnut mdf material for it. The video shows how I cut the 4’x8’ material into 6-11/16” squares.Have a great week folks! … See MoreSee Less

Good morning! Not much to report this week, except that I have had a very, very busy summer season. I have travelled more than usual – took a couple of classes at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking in Indiana, went to Europe for FISM and to visit family, and just last week had a booth at Magic Live.It is now time to work, restock items and plan what the future holds. This week, and for what will become a 600 hour task, I will be making a batch of Dean’s Boxes. They have been selling periodically, and hopefully I will make enough to have in stock for a while.In the meantime, I would like to share a process video of an item I made for Genii Magazine a few months ago. Julie Eng approached me at a convention and asked if I could make a stand for their new booth sign. If you haven’t checked Genii Magazine lately, please do so. It is being revamped and completely redesigned by a new creative team. It is the premiere magic publication of our time. geniimagazine.comThe video is long at 4:30 minutes – and I know FB will penalize me in their algorithm. My purpose is to put tgis little project “on the record” so to speak.Have a great and productive week, my Facebook friends! … See MoreSee Less

I am finally back home in Las Vegas!I returned from a whirlwind European trip last weekend, and I have been on “catch up mode” since then.I re-opened my little business, caught up with correspondence and processed all the orders that came in during my absence.Now I am getting ready for Magic Live – our traditional Magic Convention in Las Vegas – which will take place on August 3 – 6, 2025. We will have a Nielsen Magic booth at the event.In the meantime, guess what? I just got my August 2025 of Genii Magazine! Guess who is featured in the Marketplace / “Best in Show” column? Yours truly!!!It is an honor to be recognized by your peers. A huge thank you goes to Jeff Prace for the wonderful article by approaching what I do from a “craftsman’s point of view”, and to Julie Eng and Jim Steinmeyer for their kind support.#genii #geniimagazine #magicpublication #catchingup #magiccraftsman #handcrafting #magicprops … See MoreSee Less

Nielsen Magic is at Torino, Italy.

Hello there! It is July 22, 2025, and I am now hanging out at my sister’s home in Turkey for a few more days before I head back to Las Vegas.I am now reviewing a few photos and videos I took at last week’s FISM Magic Congress in Turin, Italy.The few positive things I can say from the event are:– I saw some incredible talent during the week. There were 160 contestants, and they were all above average, as they had already won regional competitions in preset to participate at this event.– The professional stage shows were top notch.– It was a great opportunity to reconnect with friends I had not seen in years.On the not so good side:– The main event – contest and stage shows – took place in a tent. For people who did not purchase the VIP seats, it was very difficult to see. After three years of preparations, it is a shame that this is the best space the organizers could come up with.– Seats were extremely uncomfortable, and we had to sit four to six hours at a time.– The Dealers Room was non-existent. Over one hundred dealers were packed in hallways with minimal security, and the “dealer hours” were non-existent either.The following nearly four minute video is a summary of the opening professional gala show. My guess is that the producer had to call a lot of favors. The show had seven magic Grand Prix winners, with each receiving a deserved standing ovation: Jason Latimer, Norbert Ferrè, Miguel Muñoz, Yann Frisch, Héctor Mancha, Laurent Piron and Yu Hojin. That was probably one of the best magic shows I have ever seen.Have a great week!#FISM2025 #FISM #turinitaly #magicshow #grandprixofmagic … See MoreSee Less
