There was confusion by many over the distinctions between LiveAuctioners & the actual auctioneer on site. Listed "starting" bids are posted by LiveAuctioners and they cannot lower them; the auctioneer on premises can. There were no reserves, however, when it becomes obvious, as it did ...

Diego,
Did you get my "inter-Genii note?" (not on this Forum) It doesn't register on my "sent" email list. Please email me at Gamolo@aol.com so I can discuss with you.

Best regards,

I haven't thought about it.....if I do, it will be a last minute decision. I have lots of items listed with Matt Ruetz on <a class="postlink" href="http://www.MagicGizmo.com">www.MagicGizmo.com</a> so please check that out or just email me at <a href="mailto:Gamolo@aol....

Dear Diego, I plan on driving up from DC, visiting collections in Pa, NJ on the way up to Manhattan, where I will be dropping some stuff off for Bill Kalush and doing lunch/dinner with my son who works in Manhattan. I was planning on arriving (it can be late in the evening if you wish)on Wednesday, ...

You don't need a sword to do Doc's routine.........I do it all the time in restrauants with the large steak knives furnished when you order steak. If you want to employ Doc's exact handling (i.e., gaffing the PaperMate "PhD Multi" pens) you can gaff them for just a few bucks by purchasing ...

In the U.S., most jurisdictions have a quick (3 week) "Small Claims" type Court to handle contract disputes for amounts up to $10K. Failure of the Defendant to answer or show up can result in a default Judgment. Collection of same is another matter all together. I don't see any sense in su...

Diego.....do you recall if there are any rare UF Grant or Abbott stuff (rather than the more common items usually found)? Would be interested in knowing.

As I got older and heavier, it became apparent that I could more comfortably get into and out of the trunk by using a back loader instead of my Abbott's Canvass Covered trunk top loader lid.....so I modified the back panel. I suspect if you are very tall you may also find it more difficult in one mo...

Dear Brad, If it is a gaffed ring box you seek, then there are dealer items that work like watch boxes, etc., etc. If it is a non gaff approach you seek, then the simple flip down into your hand method as you close the lid of the ring box (as one performs in the old Tannen "Ring-Go!" or th...

I think too much is being made about this being a lack luster auction. First, as regards Swann, remember they make over 40% on each item that is sold (i.e., 20% buyer's premium, even more on eBay & online purchases, and 20% from the sellers). So, considering that the total gavel prices realized ...

GAMOLO

I went to the preview today. I think Mr. Stotte might be disappointed because most of the items are American authors and performers (posters); save for the clocks there is little of European origin. However, what is there is quite wonderful...certainly more genuine Houdini material than anyone has s...

Dear Guys, Gale Molovinsky here. Just got back tonight from KY where I spent some time with Mario Carrandi at the Jay Marshall sale. Here is the deal on the Swann Auction: Since Fechner dropped out for the October auction, Mario was engaged by SWANN TO ASSEMBLE the annual auction. His responsibility...

A bit I have done that has always gotten a laugh is to purchase from a Spencer Gifts type store or a "head" shop one of those super long extended neck soda pop bottles, either paint it the same color as the others or fill the bottle up with the same soda as you are employing. I hide this b...

For those of you interested in the commercial prop Peter put out in the early 1990's it was called "Finger Impaler" and it is a scary looking thingie that will generate some gasps from your close-up audience. I can email a photo if anyone is interested. (<a href="mailto:Gamolo@ao...

Dear Glenn, Those are great stories...especially having the audience assembling the box! Those were the days when some and especially the closing act could take all the time they want. Being most helpful to the original questioner....it is not often these days one gets that kind of time. I certainly...

Although very litigious, Houdini couldn't sue everyone. Other performers, especially in Europe, started employing WTCs during Houdini's lifetime and, of course, after Houdini died. Perhaps some of the ones from ca.1920's survived. If you look at the classic STEEN "Plays with Death"(The Man...

FOR SALE: PERFECT TIME. Of course, this is the original CW one that really started all the electronic watch knockoffs. George Robinson has now come out with a third version that he is selling for $350.00. This new version eliminates the pen, as the magnet to activate running the watch ha...

The Abbott Canvas Covered version is certainly a fooler. However, in considering for your daughter I imagine you might want to take into account that the box is considerably larger & heavier to schlep than most of the others....and that there are going to be shows wherein you are going to have t...

KNIVES OF TIBET (RARE Tannen ca.1960's) A mechanical version of the Malini blindfold card stab (basic effect was in one of the early Tannen Stars of Magic series). This is a great blindfold three card stab effect. It employs "Tibetan" style (black pearl handles) knives which enhance the pa...

Here is a rare goodie from my duplicate box for you collectors of original Supreme childrens effects......made back during Supreme's "golden" era when they made their stuff of real wood....not of the cardboard employed in the later years. This is the Journey Into Space, a direc...

If by the "Gravity" box you are referring to the MODERN LIGHT/HEAVY CHEST manufactured by Tressler (which is a non-magnetic version of the Houdin effect) then I can heartily recommend same. The gimmick would require someone being able to dislodge 80 pounds from a table top....and, if place...

GAMOLO

My guess would be when the first safety blades came out....I think Gillete around the late 1920s would be a good time era to start checking the catalogues. I bought my version, the old Robbins EZ Magic one (hand held cloth blade holder switch)around 1955 or so. It is still being sold and is a fooler...

GAMOLO

I do the Kennedy version quite a bit because the set up only takes a moment....Also, the handling is natural whether standing up or seated which is nice compared to some of the others. I would recommend it strongly.

I am not sure exactly which specific Pendragon levitation effect is being described but there is nothing new about 360 degree rotations in levitations. Years ago Bill Brown did one with a modified Super X....and Lance Burton has done one for years with one of his automated levitations and, of course...

A nice derivative can be found on Joe Steven's Collectibles section on his web site. This is the Carl William's "Okito" version of the ButterFly box. Very beautiful box by Carl. You hold the little box in your hand, take off the lid...and take up a fan...and start to fan the box and a Butt...

You can e...
