I will take the MUM magazines.

Doc,

Jeff Busby passed in 2/2014, but a search of his funeral information online, will show some family members that you might be able to contact to continue your quest for Frank Shields info.

I tried to send you a PM, but not sure if it went through. I would like to receive your list of Spook Library items for sale.

Thanks!

Hi! I won Bob Nelson's Secret Invention on the Billy McComb auction. I understand this to be a two way communication device used by mentalists. I was hoping someone might be able to provide me instructions to the device and also be able to tell me a little about its history. Thanks! Rick Belford

Robert,

I don't have it, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't live there anymore (sorry, I couldn't resist!).

Hi!

Would anyone be able to provide an e-mail address for Peter Lane? I left an e-mail with the general mailbox at the Magic Circle, but it has been several days and I have not received a response.

Thanks!
Rick

RickBelford

Dave,

Thanks for the reply (sent you a PM); however, when I check information it has a listing on that street for Robert Nelson, but says it is "non published", in other words, there is no number. Anyone else out there know how I might be able to get in touch with Robert?

RickBelford

Would anyone know what happened to Robert Nelson (not the same Robert Nelson who sold mentalism/spook show supplies) who lived in High Point, NC, and periodically published collectible magic lists?

RickBelford

Damon,

Registration begins and the Dealer Room opens at 2 pm on Thursday, the Presentations begin at 7:30 pm. Look forward to seeing you there!

Rick

RickBelford

Clay,

I have Volume 3, which has an acetate flapped, not pockets, and Volume 9 which has the same. Also, have Volume 2, but received it, used, without a dustjacket. Hope this helps and look forward to your book on Dr. Albo!

Richard, Thanks, yes, I know the link isn't working; however, I am not sure how to fix it. When I go to the website of Las Vegas Weekly (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.lasvegasweekly.com">www.lasvegasweekly.com</a>) and do a search on Water Torture Cell, I come up with the ...

RickBelford

Michael, I have read your article twice now on the Houdini Auction, and have enjoyed it greatly! I am not sure if I want to open up "this can of worms" or not, but in doing a Yahoo search to find out more about the Water Torture Cell, I read a very disturbing article. It was an article tha...

RickBelford

I will take Garcia's Don't Bet On It. Rick

RickBelford

Pete, No, it is not really similar to the Leon's Miniature Haunted House. The effect is three cards are chosen and they all rise from the haunted house's chimney. At the end the house which was shown empty produces a spring ghost -- not the most earth-shattering effect, by any means! I know from loo...

Hi!

I just recently acquired the Ben Wallace Haunted House, and would be interested in hearing more about Ben Wallace and the magic apparatus he made -- does anyone have any stories to share?

Thanks!

RickBelford

Hi!

I am trying to get in touch with Peter Lane -- would anyone have an e-mail address or phone number for him?

Thanks!

Price of catalogs has now been reduced to $225!

I have a wonderful lot of magic catalogs for sale! If you ever wanted to start a collection, this it it. Unless noted, most catalogs are in G+,-VG condition. I am looking for $300, or best offer, for the lot, but may consider selling individual catalogs. Dates listed where known. Please e-mail if yo...

I have one of Daryl's "For Your Entertainment Pleasure" books for sale, in fine condition, for $50, plus $4 priority mail shipping. Please e-mail me privately, if you are interested.

I am doing some research on the Fred Braue Notebooks published by Jeff Busby. I know that this is a "sore subject" with many, but can you tell me how many issues were actually issued, what the subscription price was, and what was the overall impression of the quality of the material contai...

RickBelford

Hi!

Could someone please provide a contact and phone number or e-mail for the person that is still making Milson Worth magic items?

Thanks!
Rick

RickBelford

Craig, Yes, this appears to be from the Canadian series of the same name. I was able, with some difficulty, to get a Canadian resident to record several, select episodes for me (I would have liked the whole series, but his charge for duplicating was cost prohibitive!), and they seem to match the des...

RickBelford

Pete,

Yes, I have contacted both Joe Stevens and Harold Voit (the manufacturer) and neither can supply the mirror or the instructions. Can anyone help me on this quest?

RickBelford

Hi!

I am looking for the Hofzinser Rose Mirror reproduction that Joe Stevens marketed in the 80's. Would anyone have one for sale, or would be willing to provide a copy of the instructions to me?

RickBelford

Richard, Thank you for your follow-up reply to my original post. I was also surprised that no one responded to my original post some time ago. I did not attend, but I did submit absentee bids, and have had several telephone conversations with one of the organizers of the auction (Shelly). She said t...

RickBelford

Steve,

Can you (or anyone else) share the experience of attending the Bill Spencer Estate Auction in Indiana this past weekend? Who were some of the attendees, what were some of the prices realized, etc.?

Thanks!
Rick

RickBelford

Hi! I am hoping someone can help on research that I am doing on Anverdi, and specifically his electronic effects. I have the book "Anverdi - 50 Years of Magical Creations", but I find it somewhat lacking regarding the history of Anverdi. Can anyone tell me how his electronic effects were o...

RickBelford

Hi!

I have been told that Mephisto has the manufacturing rights for the Anverdi Surprise Box. Does anyone else hold the manufacturing rights for the remaining Anverdi electronic effects?

Thanks!
Rick

A few days back, a complete collection of the Fred Braue Notebooks were listed on Ebay with an ending date of 6/16. A search for the item on Ebay now says it is an "invalid item". Does anyone know what happened to this auction.

RickBelford

Could anyone who attended the Collector's Weekend please give a review of how it went -- lectures, tricks performed, etc.?

RickBelford

In the June 1949 issue of "The Conjuror's Magazine", John J. McManus ran a full-page ad offering a $10,000 challenge to John Mulholland to perform the Hooker Rising Card Trick in the presence of John McManus on a fully lighted stage. Whatever became of this challenge (if John Mulholland pe...

RickBelford

I am interested in obtaining a card sword,and possibly starting a collection of card swords. Is there a good reference source that might describe the different types of swords and their methods of operation? Also, does anyone have any interesting stories about the history of card swords?
