Mini Instant Transposition by Mel Babcock
(c. 2003) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Mel made a custom teak mini-sized version of his Instant Transposition. It’s gorgeous and the pictures don’t give justice to the beautiful workmanship and the grain/color of this wood. I have placed a quarter in the images so you have an idea of the size of the apparatus. This little gem is definitely going on display among my Warner collection.
Effect: A wonderful display of magic in which a block is placed in a small box and the lid closed. A tennis ball is bounced on the floor and placed into an open-topped box.The ball can be seen rolling back and forth in the box. Instantly, the ball changes to the block that can be removed and shown on all sides. The small box is opened and the ball is removed! Mel made these in four sizes.

Just Love Mini-Magic!
OK, I was excited when I received this little beauty from Mel today. I had been waiting for it since October but it was well worth the wait. I already own his "regular sized" Instant Transposition and it is probably one of Mel’s best items. Well, in July I received my "last" parcel, barring new releases, from Alan Warner. I still had that "hunger" for more mini-magic. I had received the new book on Mel Babcock "The Magic House of Babcock" and two things struck my attention: 1)he had previously released a "mini-sized" version of this desirable and clever piece, and 2)one of the exotic woods Mel has used in the past was Teak.
It didn’t take much thought to realize the potential magic here and I asked Mel for a custom made teak mini-sized version of his Instant Transposition; he agreed. It’s gorgeous and the pictures don’t give justice to the beautiful workmanship and the grain/color of this wood. I have placed a quarter in the images so you have an idea of the size of the apparatus. This little gem is definitely going on display among my Warner collection. Thanks so much, Mel..hmm, let me think now, what other items does he make in a mini-sized version.
