Amongst some magic that I have inherited there are 5 brass rods 8cm long with 1 black ring on one, two white on another, three green on another, 4 blue on another and 5 red on the other. There is a brass tube with a screw lid into one rod will fit. There are no instructions and no members of my Magicians Club know what they are for. Can anybody help please.

It is a mental effect that was put out by Viking magic. I think it was called mental rods but do not remember. They now produce this

I sent you a pm. The effect is called trancendal meditation and was produced by Viking. Some versions come with gem stones on one end and others do not.

Viking originally called it simply Transmental.

This particular effect in the series, with gems on one end of the rod and markings on the other was called Trans-Mental-3 "Gemsation" The method for both with and without the gems is the same. It's a precision made piece of equipment. You can request a copy of the instructions from several dealers including Daytona Magic and if you ask for "transcendental meditation" They'll know what you are looking for. I've sent a PM to Galdanaboy with details.

The gems on the end of the thicker rods in Viking's later Gemsation is a definite improvemtent over the original Viking TransMental. (*referemce Viking Magic Mfg./Haenchen & Co. printed catalog circa 1994. Dave, for my edification please let me know if your information predates this catalog.) Julie |

You are correct and it's a much better effect with the gems. Galdanaboy has a version in between the original and gemsation. I sent him the instructions for the effect.

I have the tube and rods on my shelf. I remember purchasing it at Hollywood Magic Shop in 1990. I just didn’t remember what it was called
