Ostaski’s contribution in Further Tips is the gimmick to convert a Zombie ball to use in a floating ball routine. The One-Man Floating Ball routine provided is from Abbott’s.

I think calling a doll made of porcelain a Chinese Doll is fine.
When referring to an actual doll, “china” refers to the material so use a lowercase “c” and you’re fine. “My mother collects china dolls.”

Re: Magic Live 2021 Postponed Until May 2022
State general guidance for large events is 50% capacity or 250 attendees, whichever is smaller.
However, more than 250 attendees limit can be exceeded (still keeping to 50% capacity) if a certification form is submitted and approved. Effective May 1, approval shifts from state to local governments.
