Dracula’s Checker Cabinet (Custom Made) by Illusion Arts Magic
(c. 2023) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This beautiful custom made Checker Cabinet that was originally created for Tommy Kochel and the method is faithfully based on the Okito (Bamberg) Checker Cabinet approach which is quite different from the Owen’s approach used for their Temple of Cambodia.
When I received this, it was anything but smooth or silent, and a little beaten up. However, with some TLC and some of the amazing Graphite Lubricant from Amazon and some spray paint it not only looks perfect it runs very smoothly now, which I hope the video will demonstrate.
Craig Beytien of Illusion Arts Magic really has built a wonderful looking prop and I spent some time coming up with an interesting patter story and now you have something that will work well for those intimate Halloween parties around the log fire 🙂
Includes:
- Dracula’s Checker Cabinet.
- Miniature Coffin shaped safe.
- 2 gold chalices filled with with crystalized red blood drops.
- 2 stacks of 6 checkers.
- 2 plates to hold the checkers.
- 1 white silk handkerchief.
Effect: The story of Dracula and Van Helsing. Dracula’s special fortress is detailed and how he stores his three most prized possessions inside:
- A gold chalice filled with the crystalized blood of his beloved Esmeralda who tragically died before he was able to save her.
- A lifetime’s fortune amassed over 3,000 years of existence of melted down gold and silver bars to create these massive gold and silver plates created for easy transport when traveling.
- A white silk handkerchief that was held by Esmeralda as she died, and you can still smell her perfume on it.
As the story unfolds Dracula is going on a trip and takes his fortune of gold and silver with him in a small safe and leaves the chalice and silk in the fortress. Van Helsing attempts to steal the fortune but when he cracks open the safe all he finds in there is the chalice which is worthless to him. Because he took so long breaking into the safe, it gets dark and Dracula is awoken and defeats Van Helsing once and for all with his fortune found safe and sound back inside the fortress.
