Clifton Mitchell can’t help but be a perfectionist and one of his latest creations is an almost perfect replica of the switchboard effect released in 1968 by T & L Magic called Impossible. Clift was so inspired when he saw this effect on my site he had to figure it out and build his own replica as best as he was able given the original was created in 1968 (57 years ago). Clift really did an amazing job here and as with all of Clift’s items they are created in very small numbers, my version is #5.
Clift’s version is actually better than the original for the following reasons:
- He has made the perspex case smaller so that it will fit into a more convenient sized presentation case. The larger top in the original didn’t really serve any useful purpose.
- The Bulbs are completely clear which make the effect even more impossible because now everything can be clearly seen.
What this really has going for it is clarity and authenticity – everything is out in the open and it looks old and beyond reproach. I found a great looking box to house it which is not old but it still looks perfect for this marvel.
This works precisely as the routine says, with no secret moves, nothing added or taken away, and apparently nothing to go wrong.
One thing to remember this does require 110 volt, 60 cycle, A.C., so please do not think about this unless you live in the USA. There is absolutely nothing for the spectator to see. Instructions include the diabolical method and tips for maintaining the colored bulbs which should last a lifetime with the limited use.
This is a rare electronic beauty that you will love. I have changed the patter for my routine a little which will be seen in an up coming Speed Demo.
