Andy Martin –
This basic effect and method was first invented by James Lucier as The Cockeyed Skeleton In The Closet and described in Genii October 1949. The effect was also released c. 1949 through Sedghill Industries as The Scrambled Skeleton with credit also going to James Lucier. There have been many versions of all shapes and sizes ever since and Eddy Taytelbaum’s is probably the best I have seen.
Mark Lee of Merlins Magic has created a fine version and this is part of Merlins growing Premier Range. The one change that Mark has made is that each Die is gimmicked, instead of the more usual two, which means you can do some interesting routine variations, including at the end vanishing the red die completely 🙂 In addition, the addition of the lid for the tube ensures that no prying eyes are looking when they shouldn’t be.
I think you will like playing with this item and it has the most potential for innovation of the current crop of Premier Range items.
