I have an idea for a dybbuk box for this year. It will be a set of boxes. The inside box is coveted with spells that keep the ev spirits inside.the top has a type of spirit board on it. I was hoping that someone with electronic experience could assist me with a "capacitor booster" that will increase the amps of a circuit for a second to make an electromagnetic more powerful. One of the things I want it to do is "throw" a cross off the top that is placed on it. A pic of the inner box is included. Thanks!

Or you could save yourself years of development time, stress, hair pulling, storyline and routine creation, etc and snag one of these…

You need a hefty supercapacitor and the innards from a disposable camera. I made something along these lines a while back but the problem was that the current was so large that it fused the switch contacts. There are ways round this but I never really pursued it. PM me if you're interested it.

It was released almost two years ago and not lightly – great lengths were taken to treat the subject matter with the respect and dignity it deserves. Since then, it has been extremely well-received worldwide as a storytelling piece. One highly respected member of the bizarre magic community in the US uses it frequently as an educational aide memoire. He’s Jewish and also a Rabbi. We appreciate some may not be comfortable with the subject matter but that’s for them to decide. Holocaust references are used everywhere - in literature, films dramatisations etc and this is no different. I appreciate and respect your opinion but I’m sure that those who have this piece would disagree with your assertion.

After the OP, Linda, raised this problem, I had to solve it for myself. And so here it is.

I would feel uncomfortable using it as is, simply because the story doesn't jive with "my style." However, it's a beautiful prop, and, if I were to buy one, I'd just order it without the Holocaust material and make up my own story. Problem solved.
