Here is a description of the next release by Magic Wagon which will be available on Monday 19 April 2021 : The Mystic Bottle
 A beautiful wooden cabinet along with a clear glass bottle are displayed. The bottle is then placed inside the cabinet literally filling the interior, leaving no possible room for it to move. A solid brass spike is then dropped through a hole in the top of the cabinet, allowing the point of the spike to strike the bottom of the bottle. The bottle is then removed and filled with milk or any other liquid before being placed back inside the cabinet. The door is now closed and the spike is immediately re-inserted through the top hole again. This time, however; it penetrates through the bottle and comes out through the bottom of the cabinet all the way to the table top! Now, six more brass spikes are pushed through the cabinet, penetrating the bottle from every conceivable angle. The cabinet is then shown all around with no possible explanation as to how any of the spikes could have possibly missed the bottle! The spikes are then withdrawn and the door is reopened revealing the bottle of milk still filling the interior of the cabinet. This beautiful magic effect has been inspired by one of Ed Massey’s finest creations called Strange Cabinet of Deodar. It is unquestionably one of the most deceptive glass and liquid penetrations ever created. The cabinet measures approximately 7.7cms wide, 16.5cms high and 7.7cms deep and has been completely handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a lightly distressed oil finish. This effect is unquestionably one of the most time-consuming & requiring many difficult production techniques by our own teak wood craftsman! *** Special thanks for Tony Curtis for providing the illustration Simon

When Magic Wagon opts to recreate an existing prop, they tend to improve upon it. As an owner of two previous versions of this effect - including the original Massey version - I'm looking forward to seeing how something so good can be made even better. Yet I have no doubt that it will.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

However, I really like the original story with the special wooden rods that have special powers, this does not adapt so well with the modern brass rods. Whether the actual trick can still be improved I dare to doubt, unless everything works fully automatically without a special manual intervention. The original also seems to have had an upper flap, which is no longer present here, does not bother me but the upper round entrance would have a nice brass decorative ring well tolerated. |

Also, I understand that the cabinet now looks taller and thinner, making the illusion even more deceptive! Simon

Magic Dust, you are absolutely correct. One of the original plots for presenting Massey's Strange Cabinet of Deodar was talking about the mystical properties of Deodar cedar, and how the spikes and box were made of the wood. However, there are several sites that talk about all woods and their magical and mystical qualities. Teak is no exception. I've listed two sites below with the definitions of teak below the links. This was only after ten minutes of searching so I would imagine there is a lot more information out there. Below those sites I also listed one of many metal-related sites that mention the properties of brass. All told, I think there is a lot of content out there regarding teak, brass, and probably glass as well, for an intriguing script to be developed!
------------------------------ https://www.projectfey.com/blogs/magical......-of-wood Teak: Draws off the element of water. A feminine wood used for defensive work. It seeks a creative companion and one in touch with nature. Teak evokes the cleansing energy of the sea. Excellent for protection spells. ------------------------------ https://www.mccormickwands.com/into-the-woods Teak: Regions of Africa, Southern Asia Feminine- Water Many visualizations come to mind for a wood that is prized in wood working. In wandmaking, Teak hovers under the radar at times. A surprisingly strong willed, and magical wood. Both genuine, old growth teak as well as its plantation counterpart (most often used around here for growth/harvest management) offer an energy that often out performs others. Teak is highly feminine in nature. Teak is highly protective, resistant to unwanted energies and excels at both spiritual and physical healing. Experienced Wandsmiths know it’s true value, and also its ancient roots in many Asian cultures which attempt, rightfully so, to protect Teaks’ sacredness. Has a unique protective quality about it. Teak can be used for purifying. Flowing, but a GENERALLY calm signature to it. Teak is well liked for many types of work. It can have a dual personality at times though. Like a body of water, peaceful and calming or chaotic and forceful. Overall, a prized wood for Wandmaking- purifying, both spiritually and physically healing. ------------------------------ https://smithingwitch.tumblr.com/post/13......e-basics Brass and Bronze: Auditory magic, music, communication, protection from wear-and-tear, resilience, opening doors
