I've seen them, Richard... and they are well worth posting!

As an added note, my booklet is now available and I have contacted those who have already expressed interest with a PM

Hi Richard. You got me really curious so I went looking. Found this from the 2018 McIlhany Collection auction:

Richard Himber's Barrel Trick. Circa 1960. Two nested blue metal tubes are shown empty. Reaching inside, a huge production of silks and other items is made, followed by a large stainless steel keg. As a kicker, a second keg, also filling the tubes, is produced. It is then shown that the kegs are too large to fit back inside of the tubes! Himber's devious version of the classic "Kuma Tubes." A remarkably made precision set of apparatus. Complete with original instructions. Extremely rare. Condition: Excellent.

Richard, you've hit on it. It's not how much you produce, it's how much you can produce entertainingly! I just completed my Kuma tube routine and it moves like a rocket! I'll be trying it out at the Castle in a week or so and I'll report back. I've never seen Jody's routine , but it must be something special!!


And here is the proof. Wow! Superb performance of this rarely seen effect , the Kuma Tubes , by Jonathan Neal -
