Ultra Mini Magnetic Pan

Daniel Michael

I rate "Pretty Good" as between "Good" & "Very Good", followed by "Excellent"; as previously noted, very few things are truly "Excellent" and even then it can vary between people.

Steve Bender & DJ Edwards have had a nice product in the Ultra Mini Magnetic Pan that by now has survived the test of time.

My children grew up knowing the various Morrissey Dove Pan sizes, which I was thoroughly familiar with since Morrissey Magic aluminum products was the buzz talk at Tannen's when I was a little kid in the early 1960's, when a wide-eyed kid could see & meet the likes of Dai Vernon, Frank Garcia, Harry Lorayne and others, and especially Ed Mishell, who had taught me certain card moves down at the Horn & Hardart and mailed me sketches. I first took a liking to the chop cup after Lou Tannen demonstrated it for me. Fond memories.

Now, with Ickle Pickle's Ultra Mini Pan I can pass it on to my son to show his little daughter (& God willing others to follow!). I'm also sure my daughter will also play a big part in using it too as she always had a certain Magician ham in her. So, the Ickle Pickle's Ultra Mini Pan will re-kindle & become new childhood memories.

On a more mature level, it's a great pocket trick/prop for carry-round. I'm playing around with also using it in other chop ways - say, after producing the Goshman Big Bunny Rabbit - possibly a chop mini bunny routine, ..... Just some thoughts.

There is some very finer honing that can be done, which I had mentioned during a recent phone conversation with DJ Edwards.
