As one who creates some of these high-priced products, I also publish how to do other effects in our wonderful field--my most recently published effect (long underground) requires nothing but a needle, some thread, a button, and the ability to tell a convincing story. Jiggery-Pokery will want me to mention that this effect can be found in the twentieth anniversary Dark Waltz. Buying wonderful props is a joy unto itself, but our art is also very comfortable with inexpensive, easily found items. The most important aspect is a good story, well told. BC

Prof.,
Preaching to the choir. I've been getting away with simple things since 1980. But the real fun is putting a twist on things and that's where the story and scripting comes in as well as the "flow" in the set of pieces. Always the Devil in The Details. Lary |

Oliver I have been interested in getting these magic nook e books for a while and just never have really found the time that I want to start on new project. I ticker with wood working and mild electronic builds and I think this route is right up my alley. I have found a very very strong super coil that for the size and powering off just a 9 volt puts out quite a punch. But that one coil cost about 40.00, thus far I have done nothing with it other than having fun with magnets. If you enjoy building then most definately get the ebooks and go that route. but you might no really save too much in money.

Where who found what? I've been out of the loop for a while. Thanks for all of your help.
In the end, I went for a very DIY spirit which I talked about before, but none of the materials arrived so I didn't end up using one. And while I know that Bizarre magic isn't about props, I have no idea about how to turn ordinary antiques into great stories so I thought a prop might be a good starting point. I don't know what one might do with a general antique. |

I have been trying to hunt down the exact website I bought from but I think these coils are not too hard to find online. The one I bought is basically about 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 diameter

Hi. I normally stay withing penny and inner, but with halloween coming up, id like to do something with a more graveyard feel. The idea that I've got is a series of pk touches followed by spirit slates. I'm looking for my first spirit bell to use - something relatively cheap. I've come across this: http://www.magicnook.com/Magi-tronics/MT......Bell.htm Can someone please let me know how good this spirit bell is, or if there is a better/more reliable one for roughly the same price (this is a $5 manual that teaches you how to build it for under $40 - I hope I can get all the parts in England!) Thanks, and have a nice day. Hi, Also myself purchased the books a while ago. Just never got round to it. Now actually did create one, also with a mod to the build. There are 2 versions Jolyon has on the nook. Hmm the explanation build on the RC side unfortunately for me were not too clear, and bit contradicted. Taken a few days to fathom. As me if from the UK, main part not available in UK. Online store (DF****) If sign up £7.60 off DHL delivery. Or £4.56 no tracking, risk of loss. Bought 2 @ £13.45 + £4.03 Tax + £6.08 postage £23.56, 3 days arrived. Other required parts £6. As mentioned tried alternative methods with a special wire, but had few plays with it, for another project, lot fiddly, also 40x20mm electro, but makes the build look little too chunky for smallish bell out of proportion. Bells can be a bit of a pain to source. Hope helps
