No, the Riser set isn't more deceptive, it's just different.
I have both types, and each has its strengths...and each has its weaknesses. Neither strength or weakness has anything to do with "deception". Both sets are excellent. |

A footnote:
Riser is a creative genius. He may occasionally release a homage to a classic item, but never a duplicate of somebody else's work. |

I recently inherited a chink a chink effect by the name of...Anverdi Presents Tonny. Van Rhees chink a chink. Is this a collectors effect of chink a chink magic? What can you tell me about it. I know what the trick is by that's all.

Tony Van Rhees Chink-A-Chink was sold by Ken Brooke's Magic place in England and Tannen's Magic in the U.S. It was a very nice version of Chink-a-Chink. I have one, the magnetic feature makes it very deceptive. I still use mine today. It is the 1st time I ever saw a version not using the classic 4 corner layout. It uses a Diamond pattern layout instead.
I was at a magic convention and talked to Anverdi about it and his small non-electronic magic items. He also made a trick with small dominos that is a good trick as well, using magnetic principles. I don't know if I would call his tricks collector items. They are made to be presented in a magic demonstration. Anverdi did not make much, but only a few things. I tried to get a list from him of his none electronic tricks, but he was not willing as he was very old at the time. Anverdi also came out with the 1st block and pin release from a bracelet. Everyone copied that self working trick. |

A bit of research will tell you that these have in the past gone for between $300.00 and $500.00....but they could go for more today considering they rarely show up for sale.
You might be wise to consider one of the bigger auction houses (like Martinka) in order to maximize your potential profit. These are valuable Chinka's today, certainly collectible and priced as such. (not sure I would have tipped the magnet Bill, no real reason to). |

The Let's Make a Deal section has turned into a kids trading site. Just like the little kids that use to trade marbles and baseball cards. They all want something for nothing. My advice is to find another site to get what you should for it. |
