I received Gwyd's The Scent of Darkness today,
http://www.grindshow.com/grindshow/gwyd.html and all I can say is, what a beautifully evil work of art! This thing just screams out "mystical bottle"--from it's first appearance, your specs will be curious and intriqued. As you can see, if you are into bizarre magic, this will be a perfect addition to your magical toolbox. The effect itself was inspired by one of the effects presented in Baba Gede's book, Vo-Du-Magick, available at http://vo-du-magick.phrets.com/ The effect is that you have four specs, and you wish to select one of them, based on their ability to "see through the darkness." When the evil little vial is passed under their noses, three of them smell various wonderful smells, however, the chosen one smells....death. At least that will be the way I do it. Again, wow, I am blown away by this work of magical art. Thanks Gwyd, you are a master of your art!! Scott

Haven't had time to post a direct e-mail to you Gwyd but just to let you know the bottle arrived in the UK this morning and like an excited child I opened it and had a grin on my face that has taken hours to wear off. It's been sitting on my desk now all day and I think it's fab!!!
I think you are offering an extremely robust and well made prop and this will be a welcome addition to any bizzarists collection. Unlike other effects that may end up in the drawer gathering dust I think with this it doesn't matter if you didn't use it as it looks fabulous on the shelf!! That would be a shame though as the routines possible with this would add drama and a sense of weirdness to any parlor show so it will be working it's way into my Arcanum show. Marks out of 10? - 9 (a ten would have been if it was a real shrunken head!!!!) Dr John (a very happy bizarrist!!)
May your darkness come quickly

I was sad to ship that one out... it turned out so well. I'm glad it went to a happy home where it will see lots of love and attention!
Great Picture!

Hrm...Not familiar with those...
Each one that I make looks different. Different expressions, different features... I like to give each individual one a lot of personality. I'd love to see the shrunken heads you are talking about though! Gwyd |
