This is a tissue of lies!
Don’t be deceived, folks! This is not the real Sphere of Destiny, and I can prove it!
I am in possession of the true Eye of Cleopatra. It has been under my protection for a long time.
One day I will tell the whole story–a story you won’t find in any history book!
Here is the one, true Sphere of Destiny, and the Conlin Collection is making a huge mistake not to listen to my offer…
Pop Haydn with the Sphere of Destiny
“Hokkabaz” An enchanting film. A celebration of magic!
“Hokkabaz” means in Turkish “The Magician.” This is a delightful film from Turkey. It is funny, wistful, exciting and warm. Never a slow moment, even when I watched it with English subtitles. This film understands the importance of magic, even amateurish magic, and has great affection for the craft of magic that shines throughout the film. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Magicians especially will like it, but anyone who knows what it is like to have a dream will empathize and be carried away with this irresistible romp.
Here is some info from Wikipedia:
“The Magician (Turkish: Hokkabaz) is a 2006 Turkish comedy-drama film, directed by Cem Yılmaz and Ali Taner Baltacı, about a magician who tours around Turkey with his father and best friend so that he can make enough money for laser eye surgery. The film, which was released on October 20, 2006 (2006-10-20), was short-listed for Turkey’s official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 80th Academy Awards but lost out to Takva.
The film was shot on location in Istanbul, Gallipoli and Eceabat, Turkey.[2]
Plot
Iskender is a juggler. Actually he is a magician but everybody else except himself and his childhood friend Maradona, thinks he is a juggler. The two friends undertake a great deal of risk by including Sait to their tour program while they are forced to escape Istanbul. Moreover Father Sait had quit appreciating Iskender years ago. While the tour makes them come much closer, it also results in a magnificent fall-out. Iskender, Maradona and Sait, keep coming back together and falling out with their fellow traveler Fatma.
Cast
- Cem Yılmaz as İskender Tünaydın
- Mazhar Alanson as Sait Tünaydın
- Özlem Tekin as Fatma Nur Gaye Türksönmez
- Tuna Orhan as Maradona – Orhan Direk
Release
The film opened in 378 screens across Turkey on October 20, 2006 (2006-10-20) at number one in the Turkish box office chart with an opening weekend gross of $1,462,608 and was later released across a number of European territories.”

Pop’s Magic is Open!
For magicians, I have just opened a new website, Pop’s Magic where I will be selling my books, dvds, and magic props.
I am just starting it, beginning with a wonderful new prop, The Hydro-Static Glass.
In this very “easy to do” miracle, the magician fills a glass with water, covers the mouth with a piece of blotting paper, and turns it over.
The water stays in the glass!
This is Science.
He then removes the paper, and the water remains in the glass still–
This is Magic!
On command, the water releases itself and falls into a pitcher or tub.
This classic trick is amazing and fun to do, but it has been hard to find the right prop. The glass tumblers were too easy to break, and made too much noise when the gimmick is being placed.
Finding a plastic tumbler that looked like real glass on stage, that was unbreakable, and scratch resistant wasn’t easy. It also needed to be able to take the necessary preparation without cracking.
This tumbler is perfect!
It even has a design on the bottom that is very deceptive, and perfectly hides the secret.
Pop Haydn’s Hydro-Static Glass is made of polycarbonate, which is much stronger, harder and more scratch resistant than acrylic.
It is a restaurant-quality 16 oz tumbler that will give years of service.
It comes with four pages of photos and detailed instructions, the gimmick, and the tumbler.
You can find a video of Pop Haydn’s Magnetized Water routine that features the Hydro-Static Glass, recorded before a live audience at the Magic Castle HERE. This is only the prop for the Hydro-Static Glass as it is described above, and not Pop’s Magnetized Water routine.)
