Rice Bowls - Past and PresentThe Rice Bowl effect dates back to the late 1800's (at least!). Many modern magicians know only two types, the expensive metal "Brahmin Bowls" and the cheap plastic magic set "Rice Bowls" invented by Frank Ducrot around 1900. This e-Book explores many other variations you may not know about, AND gives you something new at the same time... Spellbinder's Wizard Rice Bowls. |

OM Billet Box RevisitedThe OM Billet Box, named after its inventor, Otis Manning, was introduced to mentalists in the 1940's by Theo. Annemann through his writings in his magazine The Jinx, and later in his book Practical Mental Magic. In this e-Book, I revisit the beginnings of this effect, and add on some of my "wizard-touches" to bring it up to date. |

Dr. Q's Haunted DoorThe man behind Dr. Q was known professionally as "Alexander, the Man Who Knows." Many of his ideas were manufactured or published by Floyd Thayer, either under his own name or as the mysterious (and fictional) Dr. Q. This e-Book gives you the history of the Haunted Door, and brings it up to date in ways Thayer and Alexander never dreamed possible. |

The Mongolian Silk Mystery - RevisitedFred Johansen's Mongolian Silk Mystery, invented in the 1930s and used by him to entertain Mongolian tribes during his world travels with the U.S. Navy, is one of the few silk dying effects that uses no gimmicked dye tube and pretty much operates on pure sleight of hand, making it of no interest to the typical "magic store magician." I have brought it "up to date" and include ways to combine it with C. Stephensen's Half-Dyed Silk, the Mis-Made Flag, Duke Stern's Dye-Version, and Frank Ducrot's Blendo. |

Space Thought RevisitedThis is another U.F. Grant idea from the 1950's, which has been brought up-to-date by making it available for whiteboard instead of blackboard, as well as by tweaking other aspects of the original effect. It is a clever way to force a jumbo playing card for stage mentalism. It is not limited to working with playing cards, but can force numbers, ESP symbols, photos of celebrities, and so on. It is also an easy wood working project which you can make without power tools in your kitchen or workshop in a few evenings of satisfying prop construction. You can use the effects provided, or use it as a tool to come up with your own routines. |

TV Card FrameInvented by Jack Hughes in 1936, and almost immediately pirated by every magic manufacturer as soon as he began making them for Davenports, we look into several variations that have made the rounds over the years, add some new routines and some new ideas on building one of your own from Dollar Store materials. |

Topsy Turvey Jumping ClownMy version of this combines the original Topsy Turvey Clown idea by Harold G. Beaumont (as manufactured by Jack Hughes for Supreme Magic) plus the Jumping Clown of Eric C. Lewis that he predicted would be too difficult for the average magician to build and so would never be used. With today's technology and materials (and my wizard modifications), construction is easy and you'll have an animated children's prop and routine like no other to be found in magic stores. |
