Andy Martin –
This was originally devised by British magician, inventor and craftsman Ron Pilkingon aka Scott Christian (for Scottie’s Workshop) c. 1950 and was based on an effect called Bow Wow tie in a 1940’s Demon Telegraph. This version was built c. 1996 and sold through Practical Magic in the UK. When Practical Magic showed the whole line of Scottie’s Workshop at their first ever IBM convention in Eastbourne they won the Best Dealer Stand prize because the range of props was so colorful and unique.
This item is similar in effect to Harries Bow-Tie Mystery or Supreme’s Tiddly-Hi-Tie but was devised before those items and the method is different and in this version the tie disappears from the box and appears attached to Tommy’s neck as he stands embarrassed behind a toadstool (or lily leaf – you could choose either, this one came with a toadstool). The vanish and appearance work very well and are easy to do.
