Couldn’t agree more with Barry – thanks for reminding me how good this effect is. Need to get it back into rotation.
Edward Victor created this effect c. 1950 and sold the rights to Ken Brooke which Ken started selling c. 1954. The main move, the EYE Count, was invented by Chris Charlton c. 1940 for his Modern Monte effect.
As a teenager I purchased this from Ron MacMillan’s International Unique Magic Studio and used to perform it all the time. I loved how it used so little, with no reset, and yet had such a good impact.
