This is Murphy’s excellent new version of Anverdi’s Spirit Bell from 1969 though apart from the effect there is little real relationship between the two. Murphy’s have created two versions of the bell: this one, Spirit Bell, and Spirit Bell Deluxe and they both are based on the same internal mechanism but with quite different visuals. The Spirit Bell Deluxe is closer to the original Anverdi version as it has the swinging arm.
Both versions have two modes: the instant and the five second timed release. This version works perfectly and although the audience in 2025 might not be so impressed as they were back in the 1960’s and 1970’s with the right performance and routine you could certainly entertain your audience.
The mechanism works well and is very reliable once you have it assembled it correctly and lined everything up.
I know that the Anverdi name is more for marketing than anything else but I’d like to think he’d be pretty happy that over 55 years later that this bad boy still carries his name 🙂
