Re: Magic Wagon's The Magic Gemstone & Hieroglyphic Spells

The mechanism is a little disappointing, but I like it. The brass plate is nicely decorated and the whole thing is not too big. The box is nicely done as well.

Re: Automata

I finally got around to building the Double Bass player. There were a lot of mechanics tucked away inside the Bass, so I took a few photos during the build.

Re: Magic Wagon's The Magic Gemstone & Hieroglyphic Spells

I am also thinking this one over. I really like penetration effects and was thrilled with the Emperor Ring Cabinet but seriously disappointed with the Quantum Tunnel from them. As you said, it will come down to the photos and actual description.

Re: T-118 Sidetrack

Roberto,

Can you add the video of the ZigZag lady to this thread? It is such a nice version of Sidetrack, I was trying to find it and thought that this would be a great place to put the video.

David,

Do you have any experience with Promystic's Inside Out? It is MD, but the cube can be opened up and shown empty.

There is a knack to Dragon Altar- I can get it nearly 100% now. This might be a good topic for a "members only" video- tips on how to do this perfectly every time.

Re: Paul Harris Wanted

Glad to see you are having fun reading up on Paul Harris- he is brilliant! Yes, Simon and I had a good time talking magic while I was in London a few weeks go.

I recommend the Art of Astonishment books and his DVD set True Astonishment.

Re: Spectacular Magic Show with table by Ideal

We started a thread about Melissa and Doug sets several months ago. Can we merge all of the magic set threads together? I think it would be helpful to have all of these discussions in one thread.
