Does anyone know who carries this puzzle? Very similar to the Winston Freer Puzzle.
Thanks, Steve

That particular version is marketed under the name Merlin's Magic Elixir. You might be able to find it in German sites as Merlin's Zaubertrank. Stevens used to carry it (and my still, but it's no longer shown on their site).

I bought mine from a French magic shop (can't recall the name) price was around 80 euro, and it is extremely well made.
This is one of my favorite pieces of magic - this is a really puzzling thing to see. |

Just a little historic note, in case anyone's interested:
In Geometry this is known as the 'Curry's Paradox'. And yep, you guessed it, it was discovered by a New York City amateur magician named Paul Curry in 1953.
"There's a world of difference between the spectators not knowing how something is done and them knowing that it can't be done."

Peter Tappan explains and describes the construction of his version of the Freer Puzzle in the Linking Ring vol. 80, October 2000, page 112-119. Interesting article.
