Hi,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with an effect / prop I would like to add to my show. I am looking for a book that can open by itself / turn pages itself / use a quill to write by itself. Has this been created before? Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me Cliff |

If I recall correctly I believe that Simon at MagicCurios was selling a book with a quill that could write. He is no longer in business so I know that isn't particularly helpful but that does mean it has been produced. Someone here may have the technical details or contact info for him. I could probably build such a thing if I had technical details. I have done some custom builds.
Good luck on your quest. |

As part of the act, there was a book that opened on his command, from which he read a quote. Later, he made a motion from across the stage and a few of the pages turned. Another and the book closed. I tell you this because it answers at least one part of your question, as Paul Prater did, that it has been made. I believe the version Daniels used was made by either Bill Smith or Jim Steinmeyer. I used to have one myself, but I would love to have one with an Automagic Quill, as it were. I will see if I can find more information, and I hope this information is useful to you. |

Interesting. I have some ideas but this should be taken below to the private area.
Peace
