As you can tell, I am terrible with names of effects.
I want to build one that does not look like a bloody circus wagon to produce a large constrictor snake. I'd just fake one together, but there are a few of the finer points I'd like to see drawn out.
Any ideas of where to look?
Thanks,
Gwyd

Check for plans to Blammo Box, Dove to Rabbit, and Lady to Lion for starters. Often, when I build something to suit my tastes, it ends up being a hybrid of the better points from a few different things. You will basically be making a miniature version of these standard things.

Osborne plans and books are a likely source.

Osborne sold a mini-series of plans years back with the Circus Wagon as one of the plans.
I have not seen a set in a very long time. He did republish the plans in The Linking Rings (vol 76 #8)magazine in August 1996. If you can get hold of a back issue this has what you may be looking for.
The design cam be changed by just changing the front panels.
Also old plans pop up on magic auction you may want to look there.

You might be interested in checking out the WAH Production Box in The Wizards' Journal #10 (on my site). WAH contains the initials of Harold Westgate, Al Aldini, and Louis Histed, so you can tell it's a modified Histed Square Circle combining the Westgate bowl production principle with the Aldini Improvement, and Jim Gerrish has gone one step further but can't bear to call it WAHG. He says that sounds too much like coughing up a hairball. The reason I suggest it is because the load area is humungous, and Jim's design allows for flexible faceplates on the outer rectangular box so it can appear to be anything you can imagine. WAH-hoo!

Thanks guys! Now I have somewhere to start!
