1 review for Peacock Phantasy (Peacock Fantasy) by Jack Hughes, Eric Lewis

  1. Andy Martin

    This wonderful and colorful effect was invented by Eric Lewis as Peacock Fantasy and was inspired by an effect written by Larsen and Wright called “How the Finch Got Her Colors” in a 1928 booklet called the L.W. Mysteries for Children.  You can read full details of the original Lewis version in his book A Continuation of Miracles (pg. 125).  Eric Lewis sold the rights to Jack Hughes a few years later and c. 1952 Jack released Peacock Phantasy which is shown here.  It is described in World of Magic Vol. 2 (pg. 134).

    It is a very intriguing effect and perfect for younger children with an interesting story and lots of color and action on stage.
