This feature adds an element of surprise and uniqueness to each doll, as their powers can be constantly changing. The dolls themselves have a distinct, edgy style that incorporates elements of witchcraft and fantasy. They have long, colorful hair, vibrant makeup, and unconventional clothing choices.

Jon aklen magic
I recently received an advanced copy of the Jon Allen book, and after finishing the book I was surprised to find no one talking about it! Jon is a full time working pro who might be best known in magic circles for his unbelievably clever (and commercial) trick Silent Treatment, and this is a book dedicated to his unique brand of magic.
The book weighs in at over 200 pages and contains a ton of material- including some incredibly strong stuff I will be adding to my stand up set. Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin did a fantastic job on the layout and design, as the book is not only clear and concise (with excellent photos) but has a very intimate feel to it, almost as if Jon and I are having a private discussion regarding his work.
While I purchased this book for the stand-up material the first sections I flipped to were the Close-Up and Cards sections, and there are some real gems there: an in-the-hands Out of this World, a great force, a killer (and easy!) mind reading trick with a great hook, and more.
I guess I’ve been living under a rock because I know very little about Jon’s work, and after reading some of the material I’m surprised- this guy is the real deal. Here are some of my highlights.
First, the routine Ghost. This is a well constructed routine that eliminates many of the worries accompanying thread work. The premise is strong, the effect is memorable, and the set up is practical. Worker baby!
Lucky Card. Although the routine isn’t something I’ll use (it’s not funny enough to be humorous in my hands, but not believable enough to be taken seriously) I love the theatrical nature of the trick, elevating a simply matching effect with some potential drama and an interesting hook. This has given me a lot of food for thought, and it’s a very clever idea.
Oralgami. I don’t know what to tell you about this except that it is so weird, so different, and so interesting that I HAD to make it up and try it! Indicative of Jon’s clever thinking!
Drop Zone. Wacky trick that I’m sure will become a favorite for many people- an invisible coin finds an invisible card and then everything vanishes… Very, very, cool.
Signal Strength- This is a great piece for platform use! That’s all I’m going to say!
White Noise. A handling of the headline prediction that contains some great subtlety. I predict… that this will find a way into many performers work.
And so much more!
In addition there were also some thought provoking essays, such as The Experience is Everything and Basil that are worth reading over and over again.
All in all, while I don’t normally post on here recommending books, I felt it would be a sin NOT to let you all know about it. Do yourself a favor- if you’re interested in doing any stand-up work, or simply performing for large groups of friends, get this book.
If you're reading this you're my favourite magician.
Some material was very nice and well taught but other material was not strong magic. The lecture gives you simple stuff to do not advanced stuff like i expected
Some examples of the dolls in this line include Cloetta Spelletta, who has the power to change her outfit with a simple snap of her fingers, and Sashabella Paws, who can communicate with animals. Bratzillaz Switch-a-Witch dolls have gained popularity among collectors and fans of the Bratz brand. Their mix of fashion and fantasy appeals to a wide audience and allows for imaginative play. The ability to switch powers adds an interactive element that keeps the dolls engaging and exciting. Overall, Bratzillaz Switch-a-Witch dolls offer a unique and enchanting play experience. With their magical powers and distinctive style, these dolls are certainly a must-have for any Bratz fan or collector..
