•Low Profile Dove Pan routine done with kids and Animal Balloons.

Cups and Balls and my All time fav illusion - Chen Li Water Suspension!

Without question the "Lumball Machine"

Cotton Gin it's a version of the coffee vase that turns cotton into gin. It was an annodised spun aluminum coctail shaker,came with a realy awful tube made out af an oat meal box. The prop was clever, well made, looked great, after I cover the cover tube contact paper,produced four cups of hot coffee from burning cotton. I don't know who made it, and I've never seen another one. My favorite parlor EFFECT is Scoty Yorks rising cards under the dome.

Favourites-Tough to pick but here goes!!

"Chinese Linking Rings

"Silk to Egg / Silk Vanish-TT

"Chair Suspension

My favorite Parlor effect, Mikami Dye Box, Mikami production, and Mikami Treasure Box. These boxes are also well made.

Mine is Murphy's Chest ( My all time favorite ) use it as a big signiture effect..as the 1000 euro challange!

And my other favorite is Mikame silk through mirror...love that effect .

Wow! Great ideas! Ditto's to many of 'em.

I also love the Dream Bag for just about any audience.

Dean's Box
any Die Box
any Nest of Boxes routine

A box that Abbots sent me a zombie in. I made a sort of variation on Squared circle out of it to produce things, and did a 20 minute routine with it. Think I had $1.75 into it counting the cost of paint.
