(Based on 1 review)
Carry the 4th dimension in your pocket!
Five full routines, performed and explained by David Regal
This amazing device will allow you to produce, vanish, transform, change and mutate small objects at will. Colorful, easy and visually amazing!
When Steve Shufton discovered this Portal to the 4rth dimension, he realized that this is for YOU, the performing magician. Why? Because Shufton's Portal is the absolute perfect trick for table hopping, walk-around, seated and stand up performances in any close-up or parlor venue, and at any time!
David Regal fell into the 4rth dimension, and liked it there! That is why he went to the Academy of Magical Arts and had them lower the drawbridge to the Magic Castle, where he demonstrated, in 5 stunning routines, just a taste of what Shufton and Regal discovered through the Portal. Full performances and explanations are presented on the instructional DVD that comes with your package. AND, so much more!
Don't stop there - your own creative juices will burst out! You will endlessly invent new material for the Portal to entertain your audiences of all ages.
Here is what you get:
- Shufton's Portal
- Spheres
- Color Bender
- Instructional DVD
- David Regal teaches you 5 full routines and tons of additional handlings and tips!
"Shufton's Portal arrived today. What a wonderful prop it is. Great magic, with a unique theme. Many tricks require practice, but your trick is so much fun, it requires playing around. It's too enjoyable to call it practicing.
The assortment of effects on the DVD were all wonderful - David Regal fooled me several times. While watching the DVD, I thought of some clever moves to do with the trick, but as I continued watching, the moves I thought about were taught. None of my ideas turned out to be new or original. You and David seem to have covered it all.
I would like to produce a glass of whiskey for the climax. The difficult thing will be to keep (my) routine short. With so many neat moves and so many possible suprise endings, I could wind up doing 20 minutes - especially if I'm watching myself in the mirror!
I really do think your portal is an exceptionally clever idea. If I would have been able to improve upon your idea I would have gladly shared my ideas with you. I think Shufton's Portal is perfect."
- Steve Dusheck
"The Portal rocks. Magical, Enchanting and so versatile... it's like Card Warp in 3 Dimensions!"
- Ben Harris
"My only problem with Steve Shufton's newest effect, "The Portal," is deciding which of the several provided routines I prefer. They all look like like real crowd-pleasers."
- Tony L. Lewis

Jerry Andrus was one of the first magicians I ever saw lecture. I was probably about 12 years old at the time. One of the things I fell in love with was Zone Zero. I've used the basic idea in several routines through the years.
Now Steve Shufton has taken the idea, made it a bit smaller, and added an extra bit of work that allows you to do more and make existing moves easier and cleaner.
The product comes with the "Portal", five crochet balls (red, green, yellow and two white), a plastic card with a red dot on one side and a green dot on the other, and the instructional DVD.
The props are of decent quality, though mine wasn't exactly a finely-machined piece of equipment. I think a slight different choice of construction materials could have made a difference. And with some minor modifications, the whole thing could have been thinner. But these are just my preferences. The props will do just fine for the intended tasks.
The instructions come from David Regal, one of my favorite magicians. It starts with some background on the prop and a note from David that this is an instructional DVD and won't contain all of those fancy effects we have to sit through in most magic DVDs these days (thank you!).
The DVD includes a whole mess of interesting routines. The balls appear, vanish and change colors. The themes are strange and wonderful (time travel, parallel universes, etc.). One of my personal favorites uses the Portal as a vending machine.
Granted, it's a strange prop. But it's a strange prop that does strange things. It can be examined and appears to be something quite ordinary, even if we've never seen anything like it before.
Of course, like Zone Zero and so many other props, the uses for this are only as limited as your imagination.
