Spirit Cabinet II by Alan Warner

Forty Years of Mini-Magic Mastery

Effect: I rarely get a chance to update my site these days, but I’ll always find time for my good friend Alan Warner. It is a special treat receiving a new item from Alan, and this particular item in celebration of forty years of Mini-Magic is extra special.

Forty years is a long time to stick to anything and I would like to say that Alan has just got better with age and experience. This new version of one of his earliest teak pieces is a beauty to behold. The mechanism is smoother than the original and works 100% of the time.

The performer raises the decorated top of the apparatus until THE EMPTY INNER CABINET IS FULLY REVEALED. The cabinet is then closed and three blank, white plastic cards are slipped into it through a slot in the top of it. The spirits of the cabinet are then called upon to reveal the identity of a card selected mentally by a spectator from the audience; also the spectator’s colour preference.

The spirits, however, refuse to co-operate. No message appears on the blank cards, and then when something finally does appear, much to the consternation of the performer and the amusement of the audience, IT CANNOT BE DECIPHERED (which is hardly surprising, since the message has been written by a Chinese spirit in its own language!).

The surprising finale comes when the spirits in the cabinet are called upon by the performer TO PROVE THEIR EXISTENCE AND MATERIALIZE, and this they do … IN THE FORM OF A MINIATURE BOTTLE OF LIQUEUR!

Handcrafted from SOLID TEAK.

The apparatus comes complete with The Alan Warner Routine.
