I recently a bought a second hand copper silver brass gimmick and after a few months of trying to find more information about this particular set, I found an advertisement for Ken Brooke's Oriental Bit on the back cover of the May 1992 issue of Magic Magazine. Based on the photos, I believe this is the set I have. Now I'm trying to track down more information about this product and the routine by Ken Brooke and Roy Johnson. I'm hoping someone here on the Magic Café can help.

No relation to 'Chinese Bit', by Joe Riding, marketed by Ken Brooke?

Ah, I won't ask you to expand on that, Jonathan. I'm not familiar with it, but can well imagine.

A guy in the RAF, a yank and a Chinese "bit of fun".
On the other hand you could use the gaff for the item in "art of closeup magic volume one" using the square of paper.

It's quite a few pages (and not just Joe Riding's routine BTW, but also Johnson and Brooke's handling advice as well). If you PM me your email address, I could shoot you a copy. |
