For those who have it....there are many routines that utilize various Higley Props.

I have the Monkey's paw dark museum set on order. A few routines in the book use this set, or pieces of it. And then there are many other routines using other props; Hand of Glory, Pirate's toes, fEarling, shrunken heads....etc.

Im not looking to spend a fortune buying every prop, so for those who own the book and do the routines, which prop would you say should be at the the top of my list to purchase? One that give me maximum milage using the book

I will be working formal settings...in homes...seated at a table


thanks

I think one of the true values of the book, as I think is true of all great bizarre magic books, is to serve as an inspiration. I own my fair share of Doug's props and am waiting patiently on a super monkey paw, but I don't own everything used in the book. That doesn't mean the routines in the book that use pieces I don't have are of no value. Indeed, they may be of greater value as they force me to be creative.

Both you guys stuff was mailed yesterday.

btw: Almost ready to ship is (one set only) the Three Head Dark Museum with 3 shrunken head props. The REAL prop version of 3 No Evil. The set Tony Jones of AU raves about and uses every show. I'll put a sale price on it TODAY only 9/27, this post only, save a HUNDRED! 1st to eMail me.
$150 + $10.

To answer the question though , I'll turn it back to those who would know...but I think you have what you need in the ETMP. Maybe a HAND might be a good addition.
And mark gave the best advise...be creative.

Doug

Hazzah! Sorry, I was having a Renfaire moment! Thanks Doug, I've already constructed the other something to make this monkey paw dance.

Thanks

I was leaning towards the hand as it does inspire.

3 Head set sold.

Last night I sat down with the Dark Museum Book and took notes. Great material. Great ideas.

Just received my Dark Museum set...Toe, ear and money paw.

This is some fine craftsmanship, Doug. I'm blown away. Ideas are already starting to percolate.


Thanks again

Have had this book for about a week now, and I must say some very powerful magick in this one. A LOT of magick for the money. Thanx Doug And Mr Magus, and everyone who contributed.
