This is one of the earliest releases of Owen’s beautiful Temple of Cambodia created during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s by Carl Owen himself. For something almost 65 years old it looks amazing with a few scratches and marks but otherwise a really beautiful piece. I spent some time adding some lubrication to a few key areas and some small strips of black felt to minimize the noise and this beauty works perfectly now.
You could do quite a lot with these props but the routine that comes with the later instructions (that I have included) about the King of Cambodia works well for me.
The key moments in the routine are:
- The stack of gold (red and yellow discs) are cleanly shown separate.
- They are placed in the center of the cabinet.
- Each compartment either side of the center of the cabinet is shown empty.
- The stack is removed from the center and placed under the tube.
- The ghost goes into the center of the cabinet.
- The ghost swaps places with the stack of gold.
- The cabinet is broken down and shown to be otherwise completely empty .
It is an easy to do effect with simple to learn handling and patter and will look amazing in your collection 🙂
