A Piece of Magic History
Pop Haydn’s collaboration with Jim Riser led to the creation of an improved model of the Chink a Chink set, which has since become a collector’s item. The design, featuring weights and shells inscribed with “2 oz,” was a significant advancement in the world of magic props. Although the Encore and Riser sets are no longer available, the techniques taught in this video can be applied to any Chink a Chink set.
“Pop – Watched your clip of weights. After some thought, I think that presentation is the best that can be done with that concept. The audience clearly understands what is happening and it looks absolutely magical. I care not about the technical details. The presentation is just great. My compliments.” ~Al Schneider

This is the instructional video that came with the Chink a Chink set put out by Pop Haydn and Jim Riser.
It demonstrates several routines with the Chink a Chink set, which are then taught by Pop Haydn and Roscoe Tarwater Beaumont.
Pop Haydn originally put out a Chink a Chink set with Encore Magic (Chris Reesman). That set was an exact copy of the antique set from Pop’s collection that belonged to Dai Vernon.
When those sold out, Pop went to Jim Riser to make an improved model.
The design Jim came up with was amazing! The shell seemed to be the exact same size as the solid weights. The weights and the shell had “2 oz” inscribed into the top.
The Encore and the Riser sets are no longer available and have become collectables (one of these sets recently sold online for $1900!), but the instructions can be applied to any set of Chink a Chink.
“Pop -Watched your clip of weights.
