Milton Bradley sold an electronic toy version of this this and it is great, the eyes flash and the guradian talks. The trick was in a series called the Magic Works. When they were wholesaled out I bought over 2 dozen and sold them to magician friends of mine. Would not see it for any price now! /quote] There were 3 different effects in that Magic Works series and all of them were very good. (Yep, I still have a few stockpiled, too!) |

I have the Wellington version, it is very nice indeed. The coffin does all of the talking and a crystal with the "gaurdian" is etched on it, the spectator puts this on any card to start with. There is some neat modifications to this version that the Milton Bradley toy does not have. I like this effect a lot for a small group for a close-up session.
Bloody Jack, I like your idea as well. Please contact me when more are completed, I may be interested in purchasing one. I also build and collect many different types of electronic magic effects, check it out at: http://caputocollection.tripod.com/ Cheers, Chuck |

One of the more interesting events surrounding the Punx version occurred when he came to visit me in Houston about 1986. I had a copy of an East German magic magazine, and in it was a routine by Herbert M. Paufler called "Guru," in which a talking head, quite reminiscent of Senor Wences' head in the box (All Right!) moved its jaws as the script was read.
The irony was this. Paufler had built the props for Punx's original routine. Paufler quoted Punx's routine almost verbatim, without credit or permission, in the magazine. Punx was really ticked about this!

I have a new web site up and a smaller version coming out that does a TA Walters effect with similar props.
Check my new web site out you can get to it by clicking on my picture and the address is in my information. It seems inappropriate to post the web site here.

Hey Slim
Julie is talking about the Milton Bradley toy. I have not put anything out yet or taken anyones money. I did not buy that eye of the idol because it looks like a hong kong rip off of a Tenyo product.

I didn't realize that it was a ripoff. Now looking at the box it says FADA XIEDA. The one I got from Switzerland is at work so I can't check it...but it 's packaging looks much different. It won't bother me to tear it( the Hong Kong one) appart and make something else....The Fist of the Pharoah...Ha Ha.

Where may one obtain a cassette tape of Animal Safari? Somehow I have misplaced my copy.

Good luck finding one. That has been out of issue for at least 30 years!

Thanks for the reply, Bill. Somewhere in this world there must be a cassette floating around.

Wasn't that put out by George Schindler? If it was, he may have a copy of it.
After you have 50 posts, put an ad in the tricks for sale or trade.

I bought a cassette tape that had the "voice from another world" that talked about the planets... but I was not able to reconstruct the set up of the planets in which order. Does anyone out there know the set up. Thanks much...

Get the Punx book Once Upon a Time. Set up the board as given in the routine "Kismet." Then substitute a planet for each of the nine objects. As a finale, you could have Pluto as the last of the planets. Then reveal that Pluto could never be taken, because Pluto is no longer a planet.

Old thread, but for the sake of completeness...
The original Gardner item was published in the August 1960 Scientific American, and then republished in the 1966 book "New Mathematical Diversions," ch. 9, pgs. 103 - 112 It was also republished in "Martin Gardner Presents," pgs. 149 - 153, where several spin-off versions are referenced, including "Voice from Another World," and "Room for Doubt," among others. |

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm trying to design a routine based off the Martin Garden concept [that was largely expanded on in the David Copperfield Murder on the Orient express TV bit he did], but not with a square/rectangular grid, and more participants.
I'm comfortable with the mathematics and general algorithm, though the Tony Spina 'Room For Doubt' trick apparently has an extra aspect in it in also divulging which selected murder weapon was involved as well. This bit intrigues me - is there anywhere to read the instructions or watch at least a performance of the trick? My Google Fu has been failing me |
