I understand why B'wave jumps to mind, it is my go to predetermination effect for straight mentalism type presentations. Well it or twisted sisters, depending on the vibe I am going for, though TS is a bit more 'magic' than mentalism.

Between those two I like the less is more structure of B'wave. But getting back the TKG, we should crack open some of the old books for effects that can be performed with common items from the 1940s. I mentioned this in another related thread that Rick Maues methods lend themselves to predetermination effects. In particular his Fate routine comes to mind, but that requires four volunteers and plays better to an audience, so that's not the best fit either.

Great idea Intrepid.
I'm looking for ways to plan a whole evening around TKG. A dark Dopps scripting also comes to mind. Brynmore, I wish you good fortune in the hopes you're able to pick one of these up. It really is a fantastic piece of work. |

Maybe something other than coins are in the clown, mine has some coins and a couple of tiddleywinks in it but maybe a note with something written on it.

The books predate Dopps so there isn't an obvious tie in other than using the books like a talking board, but I'm sure a story could be crafted. |

How are you finding this "out among the English"? I think it works great.

I finally had a quiet moment alone to sit down and spend a few minutes with the kn*wing game today - it just arrived yesterday but after opening the box and seeing my game I couldn't shake the anticipation! The game hits you on so many levels, it is perfectly aged and completely genuine, smells amazing - of old age with a hint of smoke - one can easily imagine the children sitting around and making the game pieces and board - The game play is masterful and the final outcome is as certain as the feeling that the spectator/player will have of having walked in the footsteps of curious and terrified children in darkened rooms so many many years ago. This is truly an original bizarre creation.

Has anyone come up with any ideas on protecting the game board? I was thinking of framing it with glass on both sides....sort of suspended in between two sheets of glass. I would love to hear if anyone has any other ideas.

Agreed. Shouldn't the game board be something that is now seen as dreadful? Kept hidden and unseen. Wrapped and placed in a dark, dank, secret place, and only revealed for special times and special people who may be open to understanding what has transpired (your audience)?
My point is that as cool as these props are...they are supposed to be tainted...not revered.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
