The Magic Shop offers a wide range of original dice, some geometrical jewelry and a few strange objects.
The dice are from different families like the Average Dice where you must sum the numbers appearing on the top face,
the Truncated Sphere Dice, intersection of a polyhedron with a sphere and some other original creations.
The jewelry includes Double Marble Pendant, Dod Earrings and Dod Pendants, Reversible Bracelets
as well as some unusual rings. Finally, some objects are difficult to classify, for example the Hexbox,
the Cup Holder or the MegaWireSphere.
A pendant to support a Earth marble (7/8"=22 mm) with 2 holes at the poles. The incliniason of the pendant is the one of Earth. Read this post for more information.
A cage to turn a 7/8" marble into a keychain. The cage is to be closed with a keyring. This is the redesigned version: the two parts are now identical, and there is more room to make the mable roll freely.
Unfortunately, due to moving parts, this model cannot be printed in Metal anymore.

A variation of the double marble pendant. Marbles must be 16 mm (5/8"). SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED. NEW VERSION! The actual model is slightly different from the one in the picture: the ring for the necklace is oriented at 45° to offer a better view of the shape. Be careful: this version is quite loose compared to the other designs of the marble pendants (but it is also the less expensive :-) Marbles and necklace not included.
Pendant composed of three parts, on which you have to insert 2 marbles (diameter 16 mm = 5/8"). SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED. UPDATED MODEL: the ring is now turned at 45° and the model is smoother. More informations here.
An icosahedron included into an octahedron included into an tetrahedron.

This is a dissection puzzle that illustrate the Pythagorean theorems: the sum of the areas of the 2 smaller squares is equal to the area of the biggest one. You can discover that by playing with this puzzle. Small version (6.5 cm, walls are 2 mm). SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED. More informations in this post.
The edges of the Icosidodecahedron (intersection of an icosahedron and a dodecahedron) form 6 decagons. The 6 rounded stars of the IcosidodecaLink are following these decagons. The average diameter of the structure is 50 mm (maximum 61mm, minimum 39 mm), the diameter of the thread is 5 mm and the clearance between the threads is 1mm.
The Brunnian Pendant is a small version of the Brunnian Circles initially intended to be printed in Stainless Steel as a pendant. Unfortunately moving parts are no more allowed in Metal.
The diameter of the threads is 2 mm. The clearance between the rings is 1 mm. Note that when hanged, the rings are a bit loose because of the necessary clearance (see the picture).
A customizable 25x10mm lapel pin. SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED. Butterfly clutch not included. Some extra information here: http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=2455
A small version of the Brunnian Circles to be printed in Stainless Steel as a pendant.
The diameter of the threads is 2 mm. The clearance between the rings is only 0.5 mm, which is enough for Transparent Detail.
The WireSpheres are a family of wireframed shapes (diameter is 2mm) that can be included into a sphere (of 50mm).
This one is the most complex with 33 circles intersecting at the surface of the sphere, and forming only triangles.
A new shape for the Average Die that looks like a molecule.
To find the result of this die, you have to make the average of the four numbers pointing upward. For instance, 8 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20, thus the result is 20/4 = 5. The positions of the results (from 1 to 6) match those of a standard D6.

This die is a variation of the Average Die.
You have to use the 4 letters of the 4 upper faces of the inner octahedron to form a word.
For instance, the letters L-O-A-C make COAL or COLA.
SUCESSFULLY PRINTED in Alumide.

This is another member of the Average Dice family.
You have to make the average of 3 faces of the inner cube (sharing a common vertex pointing upside) to find the result of the D8.
For instance, in the image, as 1+7+13=21 and 21/3=7 the result would be 7.

These are 3 interlocked links. Brunnian means that even though the 3 ellipses are interlocked, no two of them are linked (in other words, remove just one ellipse and the two other ones will fall apart). They stand in 3 perpendicular plans and measure 3.5cm.
SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED.

The Brunnian Circles are made of 3 interlocked rings. Brunnian means that even though the 3 circles are interlocked, no two of them are linked (in other words, remove just one of them and the two other ones will fall apart).
The red circle in on top of the blue one, the blue one on top of the green one and the paradox is that the green circle is on top of the red one. This is possible because they are pseudo-circles: in reality they do not stand in a plane but are "waved".
Their diameter is 4cm and they thickness 5mm.
SUCCESSFULLY PRINTED. More informatons in this post.
This is another member of the Average Dice family. No frame needed this time. You have to make the average of the 3 visible faces of the tetrahedron to find the result of this D4. For instance, if those faces are numbered 1, 7 and -2, as 1+7-2=6 and 6/3=2, the result would be 2.
Never run out of coin to take your trolley at the supermaket?
There is one solution: the Euro-ring!
It's a ring into which you can put a one euro coin.
The size is 19 mm, but I can easily do any size.
The coin is not included.
This is a color die. You can now customize the image... I used different colors for the faces in the first example so that you can understand how the texture is mapped, but I recommend a single color for the background like in the two last examples. See this post for more information.

A ring made of one unique thread and 6 loops.
It is very flexible : the internal diameter can vary from 18 to 20 mm.
Be careful, it is quite thick for a ring though (7.5 mm).
But it is a beautiful small decorative object....
The Frankenstein Ring is a thumb ring gives the illusion that a bolt is going through your finger: the two ends of the bolt are linked by a hidden internal ring that can move enough to create this illusion.
Length is circa 20 cm. Wire diameter is 2mm. Clearance (space between wires) is 1 mm in any direction which is very big compared to actual scoubidous. It is very flexible and quite unexpensive, given its large size. More information here.
This model is too large to be printed in Polished Dyed and Flexible.
A stitch bracelet (small version). It is extensible but only a little bit (15.3 cm of internal circumference). You can also use it as a napkin ring. Choose your color!
