If anyone has a lead on where I could get one of these, please PM me. This is the floating match routine Copperfield used on a television special. I called Don, and he said he's not making them anymore. Thanks.

Correction, should have said,could "perform it"....During my tenure at Tannens c 1980's, we handled this effect. It is not too easy to perform CORRECTLY, requires a lot of work in performing it

Okay - I'm with you now. Thanks for clarifying. I have come across a couple of these since the time I was looking for one.

I have one, unused and think I still have the postcard that gives permission to perform the effect.

Let me know if interested. Really neat prop.

Is this the one where the match 'bows' before floating? If so, I have one too. I seriously doubt I will part with it because it is so unique. I am curious to see how much one sells for now, though.
All small town magicians know what 793.8 signifies.

I have one, and hate to part with it because it is truly a collector piece, but I would be willing to sell it.

I have this and performed it throughout the years, yes it does takes a lot of practice to perform the full routine correctly, the floatation part is the hardest to do smoothly. Although I have done the full routine there is a shorter version without the match floating which only includes the vanishing/reappearance and the match taking a visual bow...this is much easier to perform. Attached is a brief video of myself performing this shorter version.
