Hi Nick
Hi Nick! I'll PM you as I don't want to go into too much detail in this forum.

Stucky: Yes Kaps did the writing bit. Sadly, when Kaps was very young, he was mentored by Henk Vermeyden, who had visited the U.S.A. and stole Benson's two signature tricks, the Salt Pour and the 3 stick Chinese Sticks. He taught these to Kaps (Kaps not knowing they were Benson's).

Wasnt there a salt pour that used a white chain that looked really good? It looked like a standard salt pour but could be reused and was made to vanish via a magnet. hmmm not sure who released it though.

Wasn't the white chain version released by Vernet? (I know they had another salt gimmick as well)

Yep Rick Anderson's "Solid State Salt Pour". A very clever and good version of the theme. It has no mess. I've used Rick's idea for a couple of decades. It uses the solid state gimmick, a bowl to catch the salt in, a white silk that appears to be a growing pile of salt (gentle shake gets that effect) and then the salt turns to a silk as it is pored out of the bowl. The routine uses a Al Baker salt shaker (or the like) to vanish the salt. As a result there is never any mess to contend with. It is a great platform version.
I don't know who put out Rick's first offering maybe he sold it himself. I have the original but the instructions and box is long gone. I have a back up set I got almost a decade later made by Encore Magic.

Maybe I shoul havd tried the "solid state" white chain method. --I tried everything else!
I "love" the effect. I just couldn't find a presentation that I could "sell"! After a couple years of "chasing it", I gave up. The presentation that I played with the longest, was an idea of Jack Chanin's, in which the salt was poured into a "well" in a handkerchief (like the old lit cigarette and TT). The premise was something like the old bit of pulling out the table cloth from under the dishes. Of course, the salt would disappear which made the "juggling" bit "easy"! Like most of Jack Chanin's ideas, it was simple and relatively easy to DO. But #3 of Jay Marshall's and my "formula" for putting a new trick in the act (LEARN HOW TO DO IT SO THAT IT ENTERTAINS AN AUDIENCE!) was "too much" for me!!

I noticed that the Tony Clark Salt Pour was not mentioned. I was wondering, how does the Tony Clark version compare to Levent's?

Tony Clark's product is a new item he has brought to market.
I have 4 different Salt Pour Gimmicks and I can only use one. I find the original model to be the best. If you are looking for a good gimmick, then I would suggest the Levent model. www.leventmagic.com If you do get the Tony Clark model would love to know what he offers. |

I toyed with presenting the use of sugar from a bowl instead of salt from a shaker (use salt though as sugar clumps)
a spoon can serve as a wand. A "spoonful" of white stuff formed with wax can be scooped up and look like sugar. When dumped into the hand it can be handled like a coin and tossed around. When combined with a Vernet Salt gimmick the "sugar" can apparently jump from hand to hand and vanish or appear at will. I just never had enough opportunities to present it and never fully developed a routine. No mess except for carrying the full bowl around Perhaps the "endless sugar" gimmick of a stream going back in to the bowl would work also.
