As some of you may have seen on the Spiritas case thread. There are a lot of opinions being tossed around about it.
We have a Spiritus Magnus case. It has 3 compartments on the side of the SM (inside) for the bell/stand etc. It also has a drawer. I want to know what you guys would like on the outside of the case itself. We are considering engraving the SM symbol on the side that opens up. It is briefcase style. If you set it on a table the engraving would be on top. We are considering aged leather straps instead of the engravings. So if you would be kind enough to let us know what you may want on the case (we don't want to do a plain case ) we would welcome your thoughts. This would be the default design. We're happy to do custom engraving with your art for an additional charge. Thanks! |

I am 50/50 on the SM engraving but love the idea of aged leather straps ! When you 1st mentioned a brief case for the SM I was already thinking something along the lines of aged leather strap / aged leather pieces.....

My thought is that I'd like the case to look like the original case that Cornelius Hobbs had for the Spiritus Magnus.
I think he would want to be discreet about the mysterious and powerful item inside... but the case would still be no ordinary case. I love that it's briefcase style. I don't know how they made briefcases back then.. but I'm guessing they were thin wood wrapped in a distressed leather? Sorry.. I may be deviating from your plan.... but I'll still finish my thought. So yes. I like the idea of leather straps or a leather (or something) wrapped case. Something that makes it an elegant "case" instead of a box. I LOVE all my other outlaw boxes, and am truly stoked about the book butler I'm adding to my collection. So.... my fantasy Magnus case would be a little different. Maybe instead of the engraving there is a small Hobbs and company metal plate? Or a small SM or Sanctum symbol? - Thanks for asking! |

Where are all the Spiritus Magnus users??
I hope I'm not "thread killer!" |

I concur with horus1's comments - I would prefer aged leather straps to any sort of engraving. I would want it to appear discrete and perhaps only hint at something unusual within. I do somewhat like the option of a small plate but not sure where you'd place it. The plate cold then perhaps have a custom engraved option.
Cheers |

Ooooohh.... that looks pretty great. That should teach me to mouth off about design stuff.
Yes! Yes! How about details and inside shot?? |

Looks like it has traveled from far off places on early expeditions via boat and jungle. A witch doctor from a dark tribe let it go for the very soul of the person who commissioned the protective case.
Either that or Rick made it...

Long slide out drawer for holding bell, stand and trinkets. Side shelf for planchette and additional accessories. Large 5 inch deep secret space back of shelf behind the little partition (tarot deck sticking out).
Remove the spiritus and lift out the shelf and keep a couple of your favorite books below the SM. I purposely had the case look more utilitarian to give a nice juxtaposition between the look of the case and the really beautiful cherry Spiritus inside. |

I think the case would be pretty COOL without the guts too !
To put whatever you want into it... Wrap some goodies up in some old cloths.

Wow. That's pretty crazy cool.
Yeah.. my SM is starting to emit a whining sound too... almost a pleading.... It's good that paypal has that new "soul" option. How much Rick? And how far out are they? |

It looks beautiful and a perfect counterpoint to the book butler. It might seem like a luxury.. but my SM got a little thrashed after my last performance AND I misplaced the "werks off" for a couple of weeks by accident. Carrying it around in a funky suitcase worked.. but didn't add much to the vibe either. - Problem now solved. |

It's a beautiful case. love the velvet.
Here's a concern: not a fan of the handle. some people have large hands so it is hard to squeeze between handle and wood. is the handle on the right part for carrying balance? this will have to be carried basically on its side, so everything in the drawers will slide/fall down. I like the way the Spiritas case keeps everything upright. thoughts? s |

Rather than a drawer handle, perhaps the handle could be a more traditional suitcase handle, or...another leather strap. I think no matter what kind of carrying case you have, items contained within will shift. Perhaps wrapping the items up will prevent movement.
I think it looks stunning Rick.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
