Hobbs Box is a completely natural sounding bell. Crisp and clear.

GYPSY CURSE!

It is also simple to have participant put together the Hobb;s bell!
That will give them contact before the bell ever rings,out of performer hands,at all times!
I really like The Departed,has a great back story,and also is a 'Sucker' effect!

A short experience I had with the Hobbs Box:

The day I finally had time to get around and buy my batterries for it, I was quite filled with suspense. There is always a nagging feeling in the back of your mind that something can go wrong I suppose.

I popped in the batteries. easy enough. set up the box and bell, and then used my t*e sw*tc*.

Nothing. oops maybe I forgot to take off the the control ma*n*t behind. No, it has been removed.

Hmm, *hits sw*t*h with slightly more pressure this time.

My goodness, the bell rang. and moved visibly. ok, maybe you might call me dumb, but standing 10 feet away and seeing the bell simply ring and move all on its own, was just a magical moment in itself. perhpas this may be simply cause its my first time dealing with such an item. but still, it was powerful.

I smiled silently to myself, wondering how much more my audience would react to such a moment (with correct build up of atmosphere of course)

I love my hobbs box, couldn't be happier with it. I also have the flashpot box accessory, and it works just as stated.

Recently aquired the Cesaral Spirit bell for use in a lie detector routine. I particularly needed a bell that would be heard by large audiences so this was the reason I chose Cesaral's Bell. This is a very impressive piece of kit. Very LOUD and lots of different options for how to trigger the ring - short, long (unlimited) timer delayed, and delayed sequences. Does not come with a t** s***** standard however instructions show how to install one or Cesar can do this for you if you wish. It is also re*******ble so very convenient. Great option for stage performers who want a highly audible bell. I will deinfitely be tying it to the specs wrist as I imagine the reactions will possibly cause someone to drop this so best to be safe.
