I bought a set of cups today that came with a water load gimmick that is quite ingenious . I vaguely remember that there was a gimmick that bore Paul Fox's name and didn't John mendoza have one as well. Any info you guys may have will be appreciated. I may want to trade this item.
Blessings+++, Rich

Not sure about the Paul Fox gimmick, but the Mendoza gimmick is for multiple small solid loads - much like a penny loader. He discusses this on his 'My Best' DVDs, but hasn't ever actually marketed it commercially as far as I'm aware.

If you check out the mini cups page of the museum, you will see an interesting liquid loader.
Martin Lewis has a loader in Martin's Miracles.

Bill ,
I saw that one (very clever) but the one I have is different(aluminum with cork stopper-uses cappilary action to fill load cup when turned over. I'm very curios who made it . Porper looked at and you would be the make the ID on it.I thought it might be one of his protottype as I heard a rumor he was gonna make some water loaders. He said it looked like the paul fox one he had seen but couldn't tell for sure. He also said the he will not be making them. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Also, Do you know how Pete Biro is recovering from his stroke? Blessings+++, Rich

I hadn't heard that Pete was unwell - I hope he's not been taken ill. Maybe the padre was referring to Ted Lesley?

I heard it today at the Magic Castle I trust that it is true . Assuming so , He could use all our prayers . My understanding is that he should recover. Again , I am assuming that this information is true . The Gentlemen relaying the info had no reason to lie that I could think of but wierder things have happened.

There is a post in the "Looking out for our own" forum about Pete Biro being unwell.
Let us all hope that he recovers soon.
