  1. Andy Martin

    The Pom-Pom Prayer Stick was invented by Louis Histed and published in his book The Magic of Louis S. Histed c. 1947 as the effect Papyrus (pg 55). The effect was made famous and very popular by the great Ali Bongo (William Oliver Wallace: 1829-2009). You can read more details about the origins here. It is really a beautiful effect full of comedy and mystery.

    This high-end version of the prayer stick expertly crafted by Carl Williams is beautiful and perfect for walk around and even parlor settings.  At just 9″ long it fits neatly inside your jacket pocket and can be seen by a good sized audience.  It can do everything the standard prayer stick can do.  It is the first version I have seen since Milson Worth’s Wizard Wand that uses actual pulley’s for the cords to flow smoothly on inside the stick.  Ickle-Pickle also released their own Boo-Boo-Bar but it is much smaller and lighter and nothing like the quality of Carl Williams’ version.  I believe that Carl Williams released the first version and Ickle-Pickle produced their version a few years later using the same instructions.
