Andy Martin –
There have been many versions of the Spelling Bee effect dating at least as far back as 1891 and Robert Houdin. Denis Behr on his magnificent Conjuring Archive lists quite a few but there are many more references I could find when performing a search. However, I was unable to find a version that uses the same method as Irv Cook, though there certainly could be. The method itself is not new but the application in this way could be. Irv created his version of Spelling Bee in the 1980’s and it was always a great method for the effect. The problem for me was the routine was over all too quickly. When Louis Paul used his talents to create this beautiful version I knew the routine had to deliver more.
Louis has done an incredible job with his version. Everything about it is flawless. In the instructions he mentioned how the word TEACHER could be rewritten as CHEATER which was the inspiration for my routine below.
When you have such a beautiful and expensive prop it is a shame for it to be over too quickly. Hopefully you will like my routine and upcoming Speed Demo.
Louis you have done a really amazing job here and I’m pleased to add this prop to my Lump In The Throat category 🙂
